The settings for skins aren't working or something. Because no matter what I set the settings to it still uses text for the post new thread, new poll, edit, modify, etc.. I want it to use images though. How do I fix this and make it use the images in the image folder? O.o

It's been almost 24 hours with no replies and this is now on page 6. O.o
Come on someone help me. The admin settings aren't changing it to images.

Can you provide a link to your forum please.

Exactly which buttons do you want to use images? Can you take a screenshot of them for me? Because from what I can see there it looks fine.

For another skin (not default). All the links like on the same page as all the posts, etc.. are all text.. I have it set to be images and want them to be Images. I think its kind of retarded to even have the option of text instead of the images. O.o You should just edit the skin if you wanted text.. >_< So how do you get the settings to actually work and make everything use the images?

Over 36 hours no reply.. Page 9. Can't anyone tell me why it wont show images when set to and instead continues to use text? Gosh..

Well, can you provide a link to that theme?

Every single theme is that way, including the default.

Draw a box around the text links that you want to be images please. :)

Why? I've told you what images..

They don't use images in Core. If you want images for those, then use another theme.

Then whats the option to use images in the themes section of the admin cp do then?

And how come some themes I downloaded to use is using text instead of the buttons like it has in the image folder? O.o

It's for other themes. For Core, it's redundant. Same with the 'show linktree as a tree' option.

Okay.. so which skin file would be for that page so that I can recode it then?

Are you wanting to change the text of

You will find that in the languages folder. I think in index.<language>.php in /Themes/default/languages

or do you want to change the order they appear?
You will find that in Display.template.php in /Themes/<theme>
If your custom theme doesn't have a Display.template.php it will be in the default theme folder

If you want to remove some of them Check
Admin -> Permissions to remove permissions to use those.

Or is there something else you wish to do with them?

I'm wanting to change them to images.

Some modifications need to be done then..

Then Open index.template.php
Find:

function template_button_strip($button_strip, $direction = 'top', $force_reset = false, $custom_td = '')
{
global $settings, $buttons, $context, $txt, $scripturl;

// Create the buttons...
foreach ($button_strip as $key => $value)
{
if (isset($value['test']) && empty($context[$value['test']]))
{
unset($button_strip[$key]);
continue;
}
elseif (!isset($buttons[$key]) || $force_reset)
$buttons[$key] = '<a href="' . $value['url'] . '" ' .( isset($value['custom']) ? $value['custom'] : '') . '>' . $txt[$value['text']] . '</a>';

$button_strip[$key] = $buttons[$key];
}

if (empty($button_strip))
return '<td>&nbsp;</td>';

echo '

Replace:

Open Display.template.php
Find:

Replace:

', template_button_strip($normal_buttons, 'bottom', false, '', true), '

Oh okay, thanks. How do I go about adding a button for new poll and new thread on the same page though?

Well as long as you Replaced that function up there this is all you need to do..

Upload these to that same Directory:
