Does this work with 3.1.9? Are most extensions compatable?
Hi ZW,
thanks for reaching out!
Yup, this is a professional development so all the phpBB versions are supported 
(Soon 3.2.x as well)
The extensions, the most important and the best coded are chosen and ported to my styles. They are available for download over at the official support forum: http://sitesplat.com together with tons of tutorials, resources and also premium addons to take your forum to next level
If you need anything else or have questions let me know.
CHeers! Dave
Hey Zw,
let me know if I can help you with anything else.
I would love to seeing you join the community over sitesplat.com with many Admins like you.
Dave
1 - Does the template add more functions in Admin Panel? 2 - Are those extensions free when theme purchased? bbembed, bbemoji, bbootsminicms, bbprefix 3 - Is it possible to change the user profile from left to right? In posts..
Hi sGT,
1) what functions did you need ?
The Mini CMS adds the ACP functions to make the Admin’s life easier and faster:
https://codecanyon.net/item/bboots-mini-cms-/8536989
2) Those are exclusive for the clients and are not free ad its part of my freelance work.
3) Yup you can with the Mini CMS addon I linked above
Let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers! Dave
Alright, that really much money, I though if I buy the theme I had access to all those extensions for free, not going to spent like 50$ to just a theme and few improvements.
Hey GT,
There are TONS of free extensions available on the support forum over@sitesplat.com together with tutorials, resources and more…
The custom premium extensions is premium work added as a “perk” for the clients, they are not needed to enjoy the theme which is $17 (about 14 Euros in your case).
It’s much like you buy a new car but then you decide to get the special rims for it.
They are extra optional and not part of the car purchase.
its the owner decision to make the car looking even more beautiful and shiny
Cheers! Dave
Hello Dave, the problem is only with Theme I will not be able to change some parts. Example in Footer, I cannot change Twitter, Recent Topics, About etc. Thats why you created the Mini CMS to add support to it, the only way to change it is change directly in the files. I had a look on it already.
Hey Gt,
I think I have confused you. Let me rectify this,
What you need to do with the theme can be done with NO Mini CMS and the included documentation explains how to do it step by step. (the change of the profile is included in the tutorial over at sitesplat.com )
having said this, the Mini CMS is only needed if the Admin wants to to the changes directly via the ACP rather than editing files manually. its a beautiful addon that saves you time – Again its not a must have if you feel comfortable in editing files.
Having said this, contact me via PM on the forum after the purchase so I show you exactly what to do to achieve what you need
Cheers! Dave
Hi, i have some questions.
1. How to remove “This is the forum index page” 2. How to edit the footer Recent Topics. I see some topics from BBOOTS, how to change with my topics from the forum? 3. How to remove copyright? 4. How can i remove the Umbrella on the header (under the logo)
Hey Web,
Could you please get in touch via email or even better the dedicated support forum: http://sitesplat.comI’ll be able to follow up with you better from there.
Cheers!
Dave
Hey I am interested in buying the theme but I just have one question before I do. Is there any way to turn on users avatars and ranks in viewtopic when viewing the forum in mobile?
Also is this theme based on prosilver or subsilver
Hi Okl and thank-you for reaching out.
sure it can be done. I can write the code for you and for free after the purchase.
Regarding the base style, that’s exactly what you will NOT ever see with my themes.
They are build from the ground up rather than just some poorly written CSS and other code based on the obsolete prosilver (never mind subsilver) which what everybody does here and then its marketed as premium theme unfortunately.
Mine is a professional development with a community built around it:
http://www.sitesplat.comwhere you’ll find tons of free resources, tutorials, MODs/Extensions and all entirely re-written to support the modern Web Technologies. Many cool services like a COLORIZE to change your color scheme in one click style and a super cool changelog system where you can see and merge the changes to each theme updates even in the case you HEAVILY modify the theme
I do a lot of custom code for freelance and develop many premium products sold separately which truly brings a new experience to forums and your users.
See some recent premium work here: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1332PS:
If you expect the theme to be working and behave like prosilver then I would NOT suggest this product. Check out the Demo to make sure you truly like it before purchasing it
Cheers! Dave
Okay, posted in the support forum in sitesplat
Replied. Sorry for the delay
Thanks for making such a cute forum for us to buy and use. Please its been three days I have been trying to upload and use the style. I have uploaded and installed on my forum. However, I really don’t know how to do the final installation using the Automod. I am a newbie in all these just need your assistance. Thanks a lot.
Hey King,

First things first, Register on the official support community: http://www.sitesplat.com
Then send me a PM from there and i’ll get back to you soon
Cheers!

Got your PM. we’ll go from there. Dave
Hey, I’ve not yet bought this but if I do buy it, is it easy to add own custom rank titles in HTML and CSS that will display on all forum posts and user cp
Hi there
Sorry for the delay of my reply. Just got back from a couple of days holiday.
You can add your own custom ranks title and images via the Admin Panel and they will show up in posts, member profile etc.

Hi Matty,
Let me know if you have any other questions and I can help you make a decision.
Cheers! Dave
Hi Matty,
Still here to help if you need. I would love to seeing part of the SiteSplat’s community.
CHeers! Dave
So i think I’m going to pick Bboots but just wondering:
1) will all the phpbb functionality, features etc still be there?
2) without the extra cms module, can nothing be changed without getting in to the code?
3) do you know how to make it so guest can only read a few topic/posts before being prompted to register?
I think that’s it for now. Thanks
Hi there
down to the questions:
1) yes of course, why wouldn’t they be there? There is actually more under then hood that either add functionally or improves the default behavior.
2) that’s not mandatory. You can still follow the documentation to get things done.
3) yup sure, post on the official community forum: http://www.sitesplat.com this way I can follow up with you better
CHeers Dave

CHeers! Dave
I wanted to buy your theme but this prevents me..worst SEO implementation.. it should only be done on homepage not every page/topics on the forum:
<meta name=”author” content=”SiteSplat www.sitesplat.com”>
<meta name=”designer” content=”SiteSplat www.sitesplat.com”>
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0”><!- Set the viewport width to device width for mobile ->
<meta name=”Description” content=””><!- Set Your forum description here inside the ”” tag ->
<meta name=”Keywords” content=””><!- Set Your forum keywords here inside the ”” tag and make sure they are separated by a comma ->
<meta name=”application-name” content=”FLATBOOTS”><!- WIN8 Tiles setup forum name ->
<meta name=”msapplication-TileColor” content=”#ffffff”><!- WIN8 Tiles color ->
Hey Winter,
Glad you pointed it out, so perhaps now you can also explain the same thing to the phpBB developers and ask them to improve the current SEO structure on phpBB.
Its a topic has been discussed for years now.
PS. I can you fine tune the SEO part if you have specific needs
Dave
I think it will generate duplicate contents on google search results.. having the same description/keywords on every pages. And last question do you offer a free plugin for social sharing? I wanted to buy the BBoots theme and the Mini CMS today.
Hi Winter,
Yes there is a possibility, but seeing as those are the standard meta tags google will ignore them anyway and have no SEO importance anymore. The important things are the topic links nowdays.
In any case I can show you how to tweak it further but the “problem” is the phpBB implementation of the overall_header which is as you guessed on every single page:) It will change in the future…
Anyway, tons of free extensions : http://www.sitesplat.com/
Here are some of my latest premium work: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1332I would love to see you joining the community forum and be part of the excited Admins there much to try and discover and a special place where to find Specially crafted premium products
For anything else or would like to know more about the custom work, fee free to email me.
Cheers! Dave
Thanks Dave! See you later in the forums 
You’ll love the place
PM me or open a public topic there.
Cheers!
Dave
Confused.. flatboots or bboots.. waaaaaaa
Hi
FLATBOOTS is for people who like minimalist design and where the content is king rather than the user information. Needless to say the clean and Flat design just makes everything smooth and pleasant to browse.
BBOOTS is for busy Admins where they need to display many info at all the time. Like links, social medias, gaming clan where they need the user profile in view with all different custom profile etc…
Cheers! Dave
Hi Dave, just wanted to let you know that I purchased your Flatboots Theme looking forward.
Awesome! Send me a PM once you are registered on the support forum. Cheers! Dave
I am looking to update a 3.0.11 phpbb forum to the latest version 3.1.7. I would also need an extension to create medals/badges that can be rewarded to users. And I stumbled across your forum after some googling. It said that you are offering this feature, but i can’t se the cost for it unless I first buy the theme? I would like to know more about this mod/extension before I take the plunge and buy anything.

Dave
Great product
Cheers!
Dave
Hi, I really like this style and I think I will purchase it but I have some questions. Right now I am using a free style with phpBB 3.1.6 and some extenstions,can I still use my extentions with the BBoots style? Google Analytics extenstion PhpDirectory extension Pages extension Notify admin on registration extension Precise simular topics extension Recent topics extension Share on extension
For me it’s quite important to use the above extensions on my forum.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards, Richard
Hi Rimo,
Thanks for reaching out. All the important, stable and well coded extension have been ported to work with my themes.
You can see some of the premium extensions I develop here : ** http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1332
- Note, Those are not included for free.
Having said this, from your list they are all almost available except for:
- Google Analytics extenstion, (which you don’t need an extension for )
-PhpBB Directory extension,
-Recent topics extension (which you dont need under BBBOOTS becuase you can use the top5 extension specifically styled.)
Cheers! Dave
Hi Dave,
Thanks for yor reply. This means that I can’t use phpdirectory anymore? Is there an alternative to create a page with categories and links to other websites? Thanks. Regards, Richard
Its just an overkill the phpBB Directory. All you need is the Pages extension, which is available. Then you can build a nice layout with BBOOTS and Bootstrap. This way will be much more flexible and good looking
Thank you. I know BBOOTS is the style but what do you mean with Bootstrap?
Bootstrap is the framework my themes are built on top of. Its original and untouched and this means you can sue any bootstrap compatible layouts. For example tons of snippet to use here: http://bootsnipp.com/ perfect for the pages extension and in your case your custom phpBB directory
Hi Rimo,
Let me know if you have any other questions and I can help you make a decision.
Cheers! Dave
Hi Richard,
Still here to help if you need. I would love to seeing part of the SiteSplat’s community.
CHeers! Dave
is the forum has the option to change ALL his menus, layout and text, and display view to RIGHT TO LEFT ?
Hi Koyn,
do you mean support for the RTL languages? – You’ll need to do some tweaks. I don’t support it by default due to the extremely low requests for it. You’ll need to google up a bit. For example : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19730598/right-to-left-support-for-twitter-bootstrap-3

Hello, does this theme have a membership extension? How does it work?
Hi Fern,
You are in luck, I developed a BBmembership recently, which is a true membership system for phpBB.
http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1574and:
http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1332Its a premium extension and not included in the theme.
Cheers! Dave
Hello, theme is required to have the membership system?
And where to buy the membership system, I could not find it in the links you sent me 
Hi Fern,
I develop the premium addons/extensions as a freelancer and exclusively for my products and clients. The reason I don’t support other themes than mine is because of the poor quality.
With my themes I know and ensure the code quality is the highest around and according to proper code best practices.
You can contact me via email after the theme purchase for more details.
Cheers!
Dave
Hi Theme,
The prosilver theme is not well designed?
Can you do recurrent memberships with your extension?
And I’d like to know the price before buying anything…
Thanks
Hi,
Just like I said, please contact me via email as these are really particular questions.
Yes the prosilver theme is poorly coded/designed and bloated. Does not even use the HTML5 standards correctly.
Dave
And where do I find your email?
Click on my username, then scroll to the bottom of that page and on the bottom right side you will see the email form
Dave
I tried to install as per the documentation but the theme is not showing up
Hi Neg,
Let me know if you got all setup ok or if you still need help. Let’s get in touch via email or the official community forum: http://www.sitesplat.com
Cheers! Dave
I still have the problem.
Hi Neg,

Hi,
how I can had here a text and and a link with the post which was last answer on each forum : http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/763344/213f462a0fa936515808174c6d774acd
Thanks for answer.
if you visit my site carleaseforum .com you see that the text is seperated by underscores. what is wrong with it?
Hi Danny,
that’s because you haven’t installed the BBcore yet. Its explained step by step in the documentation.
Dave
Thanks for the reply. GREAT SUPPORT!.
I am also stuck on mobile view. If you go to carleaseforum.com and visit it on a mobile phone the logo and menu bar floats to the right..How can I fix this?
i don’t want to share that site from others. Hope you understand.
