Hi ThemeSplat,
I’ve just installed the latest version of PHPBB on my server, I believe it’s 3.1.1 – I’ve tried installing a different theme but it didn’t show in styles because 3.0 themes are not compatible with 3.1.x.
I want to purchase this theme, but I want to make sure it is compatible with 3.1.x before I buy. If it’s not do you intend to update the theme anytime soon?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there
It Needs to be updated. 3.1 will need to be a more mature software before I write my themes to work with it. Its way too early and pointless to use 3.1 at the moment. With only 3 official extension and just a bunch of unstable ones I’m sure you get the point
Please see my answer on the official forum: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=549&p=3975#p3975 and this one: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=775&p=3965#p3965
Hey,
I bought this theme, and I uploaded to folder BBOOTS to my /styles/ folder. The style.cfg is in there, but still my phpBB forum doesnt detect any styles for installing. What can be wrong, I just installed phpBB so I got the newest version.
Òke, so I edited style.cfg to; name = BBOOTS copyright = © SiteSplat.com© 2013 phpbb_version = 3.1.0 style_version = 3.0.2
and now it works.
The theme is not working correctly ?
Let me read documentation first lol 
Oke it works, but it does not work on phpBB 3.1 but nothing works on 3.1 yet so.
Hey Roel,
sorry for the delay. You figure it out I see.
Send me an email if you run into any issues. 3.1 will not be worth to upgrade to for at least 6 months and possibly even longer. Dont forget to register here : http://www.sitesplat.com/ to get the compatible mods and premium addons. There also tutorials and custom stuff..

Hello is compatible with the newest version of phpbb 3.1?
Hi jorgerey89 ,
It needs to be rewritten for 3.1. As I mentioned in some of my comments earlier, there is no point to rush on 3.1. phpBB 3.0.x will be supported up until 3.0.14 and 3.1 is simply NOT mature enough. There are barely 3 official extensions released and the few under dev are certainly not for live forums yet. I started writing up my styles when 3.1 was in beta. it will; take time to be ready. 3.1 will be going through lots of updates so you don’t really want a possible broken forum each time. Trust me as I’ve been on this for few moons now, don’t rush the update. Its not the right moment. Stay tuned and follow me if you like to know when new styles will be available for 3.1. Or you can purchase any of the current styles and join the community forum : http://www.sitesplat.com for premium MODs, addons and great people who contribute with tutorials and resources. Cheers! Dave
Hello ThemeSplat,
Is it possible to customize this theme to look like the landing page of this SMF theme at www.nairaland.com? If so, how?
Thanks.
Hi, for sure you can, if you are looking just for that landing page. It will be similar. However this is more of a custom request. We can agree on the details once you purchase the theme and the CMS. At point you’ll also have an idea on how it looks all together. Dave
Hello Dave, I have installed both BBOOTS and MINI-CMS. The customization of MINI-CMS is not clear and does not work for the footer area - changes do not apply…. For the Logo Text, is there no way to keep the part of the text in Blue and … just as advertised and with the MINI CMS. Again, I think that the documentation packaged with BBOOTS is out of date, pls check it again. My site is biafraforum.com. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi there, Thanks for purchasing both SW! Send me an email with your FTP info and Admin info. I’ll take a look at the installation. Dave
Hi Dave, I have sent an update to your email. I am waiting for your response.
Hello Dave, you are the best. I noticed that you colour change was only applied to just B …. it should be “BIAFRA” without the quotes. Thanks for the quick assistance.
Cheers king! I sent you an email. Lets continue from there.
Hello ThemeSplat,
I want to purchase both BBOOTS and MINI CMS at once, but I could not find the shopping cart, or must I buy them separately?
Hey there,
You will need to purchase the Mini-CMS from Codecanyon. : http://codecanyon.net/item/bboots-mini-cms-/8536989 Then you can install it after you installed the theme. I can help you with it as well, if you prefer. Cheers! Dave
Hi, your template looks very nice ! Does it support french language ?
Thanks
Hey Steve, Thanks! Yep the language file can be downloaded from here: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=424 Cheers!

Hey Jr,
Did you install the BBcore via AutoMod?
Hey
Yes via Automod
Then your store folder does not have proper permissions. Its a problem with automod and some server configurations . Fix can be found here: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=3678#p3678
Let me know if that help. If you still struggle with it, please send me your FTP info and forum Admin info. I will take a look at it for you
Dave
Hey Dave
I send you the info
Hey Jr,
As suspected. AutoMod and Server hiccups. All good now. Cheers and Enjoy.
AWESOME
This is the best customer servive A++
Cheers!
Can I make it so the avatars and user info are on the right side of the post not the left? If so how easily??
Hey Matrix,
yes you can there is a tutorial here in the Tutorials section: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=461
Or alternatively you can use the Mini CMS which has many customization points : http://codecanyon.net/item/bboots-mini-cms-/8536989
Cheers! Dave
Thanks. Last question for now I hope, How do I make the MAIN NAG Icons not spin.
Send me an email please. I’ll reply from there

Hi,
i interesting to buy this Theme .. just have a question is it difficult to translate the theme ?
thanks
Hi Admiral,
Not at all. It comes with its own language file and you can translate it. Also there few translations already available on the community support forum : http://www.sitesplat.com/phpbb3/ Dave
hi again, as far as I know there is a file called common.php. it is already translate, it’s not enough , i need another file to translate? sorry for all the questions… Admiral
Hey there yes that’s for the general language. There are language packs available on phpBB.. For the specific theme options if it’s not available on my support forum you can translate just by using notepad++. Cheers! Dave
ok so I was begining to install this BBOTS, it says install automod first to install BBOTS,
I went to install automod following this instructions from phpBB site:
“To install AutoMOD, you first need to copy its files to your phpBB3 directory. Inside the zipped file is a subfolder called “root”. Its contents should look like this: automod_dir_structure.png automod_dir_structure.png (4.54 KiB) Viewed 39088 times The image above shows the file structure within the “root” directory. Simply copy these directories to your forum’s root directory (i.e. copy them to yourforum.com/phpBB3/) overwriting folders when specified by the FTP client. Note: Do not copy the root directory itself, only the contents from that directory.
After uploading the files, you need to run the install script. Point your browser to yourforum.com/phpBB3/install/. You should see something like the image below.“
The problem is that I couldnt find he “install script” thing, so I got stuck. and my phpBB ACP crash..
later I found that automod version is for phpBB version 3.0.11 below, and my phpBB version is 3.0.12..
Waiting for next instruction here..
Just restore from back up,and install just the way when I used to install a style. I think you should update the documentation about how to install BBOOTS. Got lost a while becouse of it..
I believe I received your mail. We’ll go from there. I’ll help you set it up properly. Dave

Cheers!
Hello
I have just purchased this wonderful looking theme however, I cannot get automod 1.0.2 installed so that it shows up on the tab navigation. I have tried both the Softaculous and PHPBB 3.0.12 install via FTP. After copying over the automod files from the root directort as outlined here https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/official_tool/automod/faq/f_786
and then deleting the Install folder (...that then took away the error message in my ACP panel) still nothing shows up.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers Flummix
I installed it for you.
Cheers!
Hi ThemeSplat,
I love your Forum template. I am planning to use it for a community. Quick question tho… is it possible to add small icons below each users stats like the ones on Themeforest Authors? Example: After 10 posts, the user gets a small special icon, 100 posts another icon, 1000 posts another icon…etc. Something like what Authors get on Themeforest; an icon for $1,000 + sales, user has refered 1-2 members…etc.
Regards
Hi,
for sure you can! I can build the custom addon for you. Cheers! Dave
Do you happen to have an approximate date when BBOOTS will be ready for phpBB4?
Hi Ini,
you mean phpBB 3.1? Probably couple months after the official release. It’s pointless to have the style ready right away when the actual phpBB software will still have bugs to be ironed out. Also keep in mind that all the current MOD’s for phpBB 3.0.12 will not work with phpBB 3.1. People will not be to keen to move to a software that cannot be extended easily. There will be literally few extension developed by the official team for the time being. With that being said, all my premium addons available on sitesplat.com will be working on phpBB3.1
Dave
Best support & Super fast loading.
Works perfect. Thank you.
Before buying, i just wanna ask something. 1) Can I remove the box- like thing around the forum? 2) I would like to change the header to a custom HTML and CSS file(this worked on the official prosilver theme). Could you help me do it?
Hi,
If you have HTML/CSS knowledge you can do anything with BBOOTS. Being written from scratch and on top the Bootstrap framework makes it quite easy to change things around
You can also post your questions in the community forum: http://www.sitesplat.com where you’ll find compatible MODs, premium addons and tutorials.
Dave
Thanks!
Not a problem. once you purchased the theme you can post over at the community support and I’ll help you with your custom header etc. 
Cheers! Dave

Hey there 
-You will need to install the BBcore first. You can find the step by step in the documentation.
Register here with your purchase code: http://www.sitesplat.com/
