Dear madam/sir

First of all, THANK YOU for choosing and downloading a product of FiXato. We always try to achieve the highest Quality possible and hope that you will have lots of fun with this product!

The product you have downloaded is the FiXato ThemePack#3 and is created by Filip H.F. "FiXato" Slagter.
It contains themes for use in a XMBForum (version 1.5 and above).

The following themes are included in this package:
'GreyScaleTV1' which uses all images in the 'tv'-folder
'GreyScaleTV2' which uses all images in the 'tv2'-folder
'GreyScaleTV3' which uses all images in the 'tv'-folder
'GreyScaleTV2' which uses all images in the 'tv2'-folder
'Digital Revolution' which uses all images in the 'dr'-folder (slightly adapted version of the DigitalRev-theme as contained in FiXato ThemePack#2)

It also contains a set of FolderIcons which vary in size. These FolderIcons are located in the 'folderIcons'-folder in this Package. They contain a big, medium and small version of the folderIcons used in the thread- and forumlisting.
To use an alternate set of FolderIcons, open the folder that contains the wanted FolderIcons (ie. 'Big/' 'Medium (STD)/', 'Small/') copy all images that are in that folder and paste them in your themefolder ('tv/', 'tv2/' or 'dr/' (please note that 'dr/' has it's own different FolderIcons)). By default the Medium FolderIcons are used.

On our Forum (http://www.fixato.nl/board) you can find several Screenshots of the included themes. We were planning on including it in this package, but the filesize would be too big for a simple themepackage.
We will put it online on our Downloadpage. You can find a up to date link to this downloadpage at http://fixato.co.uk

--= How To Install The FiXato Themes In XMB 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8? =--
First make sure your webserver is running and that you have access to the directory in which your XMBForum is installed.
Now start your favorite FTP-program (eg. SmartFTP, FlashFXP, CuteFTP or even Internet Explorer 4 and above), open a connection to your webserver adn browse to your Forum-directory.
Next go to your themes directory (standard is 'images/').
If you plan not to install all themes, then Create a New Directory called 'fixato' and open this new directory and Copy the folders of the themes you wish to install (ie. 'dr', 'tv' and/or 'tv2' see list above for needed folders) to the open directory ('images/fixato/'). OR if you want to install all themes, then instead of first creating a new folder 'fixato', just copy the entire 'fixato' folder from this archive to the images-directory 'images/'.

Now go to your Forum's Admin Panel. To be able to login to the Admin panel of your XMBForum you should at least have the rank of 'Administrator'.
If you are only a 'Administrator' you only have the option to install the new theme(s) by importing the themefiles via the ThemeImporter which is located in Your Forum -> Administration Panel -> Themes. Use 'Choose' to browse to the directory where the .xmb files of the requested themes are located. They are all located in the root of this Package and also in the directories to which they apply (ie. 'images/fixato/dr/', 'images/fixato/tv/' and 'images/fixato/tv2/').
However, if you are an 'Super Administrator', then I suggest you use the 'Upgrade'-tool located in your Admin Panel, because using the themeimporter sometimes does not work (resulting in empty themes...), this is a general XMB Problem to which I am currently looking into.
If you are in the Upgrade-page, then use your favorite ASCII-editor ('notepad', 'wordpad', 'UltraEdit', 'textpad', etc) to open the .SQL-file(s) of the requested theme(s). You can also open the 'FiXatoThemesPack3.sql'-file if you wish to import all themes. Now copy all the text inside the open .sql-file(s) and copy it into your upgrade panel. And submit the data by clicking on the button. ***NOTE*** if you have changed your tableprefix, then you should first change 'xmb_' to your current prefix (eg. 'myBoard_') in the SQL-queries that you have copied! ***

Now go to your profile in your 'Configuration Panel / Options' on your board and select the new installed themes.

We have also included our experimental SQL-themes importer in this package.
To use it, you have to copy the 'SQLthemesImporter.php'-file to your Forum Root-Director (eg. 'forum/') and create a new directory 'sqlthemes/' in the Forum Root-Directory. In this 'sqlthemes/'-directory you have to upload the SQL-files included in this package.
Now go to 'your forum'/SQLthemesImporter.php (where 'your forum' is the URL of your forum ^_^) and select the themes you wish to install (use SHIFT or CTRL to select multiple themes) and hit 'Submit'
Now the script will extract the SQL-code from the files. No need to do any other thing except test the installed themes.
***NOTE*** this script can also execute other SQL-code and can therefor be used mailicous. This script may be unsafe! It has not extensively been tested for vulnerabilities and is therefor in BETA-stage. The Use of this Script is at OWN RISK! It is Adviced to remove this script if you are finished installing the themes!!!


We hope you will enjoy our products!

Yours faithfully
