Very nice

Now all you need to do is mod the create a ticket and view ticket screens.

[marciab80]

glad u like it. Not to mention i took your icos lol. Couldnt find better ones that i like cos i like big just like that. Those pages? my only problem is.. i lack of imagination

[Raven]

I found the icons on the net anyhow so enjoy Do like what you've done with the knowledgebase tho, very nice layout! Might just have to do something simlar now hehe

I've just about finished modding my entire Hesk installation again so be sure to keep an eye out for new screenshots soon.

As for imagination, well keep up the good work as it's looking fab so far matey

Good job!

I plan to add a template system to Hesk in the future (not in 2.3 yet though) that should make such customizations even easier.

[Raven]

I've been thinking about how this template system could be achieved and one of the easiest ways to allow users to customise the front end would be to allow admins to select images for New Ticket and Track Tickets. Also maybe have the Header.txt, Footer.txt and CSS editable from within the admin section too.

I've seen a simlar mod for phpBB2 which I have used in the past with great sucsess and as you prob already know the latest phpBB3 now uses image sets by default.

My most recent experiece with phpbb was that i intalled the latest version for a client along with 10 modules and each theme mustve been modified for the mods to work with the choosen theme. Real pita job. I play and know alot about phpfox and been with it for over 2 years. Have dond custom templates and onstallations for clients too. when i have more time will play a little with hesk cos it seen to be an easy to play with script. Maybe we could try to implement smarty themez to it or feature request.. suggest more ppl to buy the brand removal so the owner dont loose motivation. Coders need to eat too. I will be buying mine as soon as i get rid my debt coletors calls hehe

Hi, I was referring to how much easier it would be if we could edit header.txt and footer.txt from within the main admin screen so there is no need to have access to FTP etc... Just log-in, change what you want and click save - done

This is my installation of Hesk at the moment by the way: Click to view.

[marciab80]

Ops... i am sorry. I was referring to how nice would be to have a template managment in admin so we could create nice themes like we did. Upload via ftp and via admin we could choose what theme to use. So we all could create and share nice themes that is ease to install for those that dont know how to customize like we do. Head and foot would be part of it

[marciab80]

So I think I did you you wanted to, at least some,
Enter image and text via admincp but havent yet figured out how to add html sofar only works with plain text, here is the sample shot

[marciab80]

nvm i was able to add html tlso users can edit the header from admincp with html codes. Will run test on the footer tomorrow. Just to late must sleep

[Raven]

Nice one! That's what I'm working on at the moment However, I'm trying to create a new section for theme. Was contemplating moving custom fields to the same page to too to keep all the bits that allow users to alter the appearance together.

Regarding the header.txt well I was thinking of allowing admins to edit it within their browser as opposed to simply linking to it if you see what I mean... Could do the same thing with the footer.txt then too

Once we are able to edit these within the site itself then I don't see why we couldn't also have multiple header.txt's and footer.txt's and select the ones we want from a drop down list bringing us closer to having themes.. Also, if we could have a HTML editor with simple bbcode such as bold, italic, underline and add URL or pictures etc.. It would then make it easier for non-ciders to edit their themes

Post up the code you've used so far to have the header image and header.txt

[Raven]

Here you go, have a look at this http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/2159 which allows users to directly edit templates from the main admin section of phpBB2 - this is what I meant.

[marciab80]

Hum! I tho u couldnt do it that why i did. But since you can i am steping out :p
I added an extra setting as i set u the shot yesterday.
Called it Template setting above the language settiings. I added an wysiwyg editor for the head instead of only linking to the image.
To post the code would require a bit more of time since mor then one instance was edited and i would have to write a clear tutorial cos the head.txt becomes heard.php and added an extra footer.php cos the footwr.txt is encoded so could not change it so had to ad an extra footer.php leaving the footer.txt as it is

[Raven]

That's what I'm wanting, a WYSIWYG editor for the header and footer... If you've done it already could you write up a tutorial with the code changes and post it here?

Cheers
