PG Dating Pro Manuals

The PG Dating Pro script comes equipped with several free design templates, and our goal

is to continuously increase their number. From this manual you will learn how to manage design themes from the administration panel.

To edit site themes, colors and background pictures, go to administrator panel > Interface > Themes

Installed themes stand for the themes that you can activate. One of them is already active.

Available themes need to be installed first before they can be activated.

You can upload new background pictures and edit site colors within a ready theme. See

'Editing a theme' paragraph below.

If you would like to create a custom theme though, some programming knowledge will be required and you will need to access site files via FTP or with File Manager.

Creating a new theme

This is how it works. To create a new theme, open your site files and go to /application/views. You will find /admin and /default directories that contain templates,

CSS files and other files that constitute a design theme. 'admin' stands for administration panel, 'default' stands for user panel.

Copy a selected directory (with its contents) and give it a new name. Here I copied the two

directories, one for admin, and another for user panel:

Within the new directory, open file theme.php and edit the following lines:

$_theme["gid"] = "theme_new"; //give your theme a new ID

$_theme["type"] = "user";

$_theme["name"] = "New theme for user mode"; //a new name

$_theme["description"] = "New theme 03 12 2013"; //a new description

The theme will appear under 'Available themes' in administration panel:

Click 'Install' to make it possible to edit and activate this theme.

After that you are free to edit the theme files:

Or proceed with editing themes in administration panel.
