oh darn it… I just realised, your theme dont support 3.1.5 of PHPBB3 
Hi Loz, FLATBOOTS has the 3.1.x update. BBOOTS to follow. Just don’t have an ETA yet. I’ll keep you informed. Dave
ok, what about the automod Dave? thx
i know you said you were working on the 3.1.x but that was 25 days ago. ;(
Hi, Automod needs to be installed. Its in the documentation folder. Once that is installed you will be able to install the BBCore.
Let me know
Dave
I dont have FLATBOOTS.. btw, your BBOOTS dont have pagnation, are you gonna incorporate that as well like FLATBOOTS does? I only chose BBOOTS cos of the color scheme. So Ihave to wait another month?
Ok,
Send me your Admin info and FTP info via email and I’ll fix your installation for you.
its all broken because you have not installed the BBcore yet.
Dave
Dave, Hi,
I have uploaded every file, folder, inluding the BBOOTS theme folder to the styles folder on PHPBB, it does not even recognise your theme.
I have used PHPBB for almost 2 decades, I’m perfectly aware how to install themes and follow instructions.
The AutoMod does not work with the 3.1.5 framework of phpbb3, they discontinued the Automod in phpbb 3.x. It said that the developer needs to make the necessary files themselves.
Hi Loz,
Of course it doesn’t. BBOOTS is not compatible with 3.1.x. its also specified in the title as well…
FLATBOOTS has the 3.0 and 3.1.x version to choose from. I’m working in the update for BBOOTS for 3.1.x, I just dont have an ETA yet.
FYI there is automod for 3.1.x as well.
If you would like me to set it up properly for you for 3.0.x, please let me know.
Dave
I dont need any help thank you Dave setting up files, etc, i’m perfectly capable of doing it myself – I have over 20 years of experience with Server Administration
I don’t want to use a 3.0.x version of PHPBB3 when there is a newer one available.
There is no AutoMod for version 3.1.x of PHPBB forum Dave… haven’t you read Sir? its not being supported, there are a ton of pages about it on their forum. I’ve looked, have you? If so, can you kindly show where the link is to download it?
On their forum they claim that the developers who rely on the AutoMod are to make the necessary adjustments to their coding or create their own version of AutoMod so it works with their Themes, etc. This is directly from the modeators of PHPBB3, not some user of their forum.
They say that its not needed as there is already a inbuilt extension installer. Which is news to me because I haven’t seen one inside the ACP.
After some digging before posting here, I found this site… its not a PHPBB3 site though, some guy took the time to make a AutoMod. http://forum.dion-designs.com/p14354/automod-for-phpbb-31Is that ok to use? and will the Theme work then?
Thanks for your time
3.1.x use an extension system. The link you posted is automod for 3.1 fixed up by Dion and the reason I did not post it, is because You don’t need to use unless you know what you are doing with the code.
Like I said the theme is not compatible with 3.1.x until I release the update which I don’t have an ETA at this moment.
Feel free to use FLATBOOTS which supports 3.1.x and when an update for BBOOTS is released I will let e you know.
Cheers! Dave
I dont have FlatBoots though.
are you gonna send it to me for free, Dave? 
oh btw..
i dont have my forum installed like most do… everything is installed in my root domain level, with no forum folder or phpBB folder. ie, convential way is: domain dot com/phpBB/ mine doesn’t have a folder like that, I don’t like that structure, so everything in the phpBB folder is FTP into the root of the public_html folder.
Is sitesplat.com down?
Hi, yes sorry for the inconvenience. Some major server re-factoring. Should be up and running by tonight. Follow on Twitter for status updates.
@sitesplat
Dave
Good luck. After more than a year of development (mostly because of other distractions), I’ve finally launched the BBOOTS version of v-flyer.com. Took about 36 hours because of some ‘issues’ with databases and upgrades, but now it’s up and running and its an overwhelming ‘thumbs up’ from the users.
Terrific! thumbs up indeed. Well done. Glad to see more and more people experimenting with the framework.
Dave
Hi, what happened to your forum, its not there, 404 error…
The automod will not install, says that the files are not found in the umil folder, there is no db folder or the db files.
also your template is not recognised in the phpbb styles panel.

Is there a Russian language?
Best regards, Igor.
Hi Igor,
yep translations ready to go, (just drag and drop) are here http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=424
Cheers! Dave
Hello,Dave !
Thanks for the answer
I do not have access to the forum as I have not bought the module.
You can get a screenshot?
If I buy a module, all the items (buttons, menus, tips and so on) are in the Russian language?
Support phpbb 3.1 in the future will be free or paid?
Best regards, Igor.
Hi Igor,
Yes for sure. all translated. You also need to install this: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/translation/russian/ and then the other file where I posted the link above. 
Dave
Thanks, Dave
The theme support phpbb 3.1 in the future will be free or paid?
Best regards, Igor.
Hi ,
Free of course
Dave
Hi, Dave.
I purchased this theme.
Hopefully in the future you do not stop its support in actual data.
Good luck in the works.
Best regards, Igor.
Glad you did purchase it. I’‘ll see you over at the community forum: http://www.sitesplat.com – You will see a very active development with custom premium addons, tutorials, and much more… 
Cheers! Dave
Thanks, Dave !
Best regards, Igor.
How can i change the logo?
Hi
its in the documentation folder. Check it out and let me know if you get stuck.
Cheers! Dave
thank you,i will but i have one more issue appear,when i add new forum or category,it dont show on home page and can not find out what is the reason
Yeap I explained that above. its a permission problem. The best thing to do is to copy your forum permission from the default category/forum when you create your new category/forum. (unless you have special requirements). You can go back to it end hit “edit” (green cog) then select “copy forum permission” and apply. Dave
on the overall header i can not find this B BOOTS ?
you mean line 76 ? {L_BB} {L_BOOTS}
Assuming the permissions are correct, It wont show until you have at least a forum create in the category. Otherwise is just considered an empty “container”.
Permission fixed,thank you so much but i have not logo issue,i can not find exact line you mention on the decumentation
Hi awesome! For the logo is because there are the variables in place. Use the same line where you see the {} signs and replace it with the one on the docs. Let me know. If you are looking for an easier way to do this, and assuming your installed correctly automod and the BBcore, I strongly suggest you this addon: http://codecanyon.net/item/bboots-mini-cms-/8536989
ok i will also buy it since i set the logo nicely,http://forumwatches.com plus where i can change this text ? A short text to describe your forum
Nice! That would be the default phpBB stuff and its located in the:
ACP (Admin Control Panel) > General > Board settings: = Site description
Dave
Thank you for your great suppor and i also wait answer for my mail to you about some little custom work…
No problem I’m here to help
I’ll get back to your email soon, possibly by tonight.
Dave
Thank you
hello,i just set the theme,it seems very nice,thank you for great work but after i creat categories,only one of them i can send post? the rest says : There are no topics or posts in this forum. could you help me
Hi Bronze,
That is because you have not set the permissions for your categories and forum yet.
See how to set your categories and forum correctly:
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.0/kb/article/phpbb3-permissions/Cheers! Dave
thank you
You’re quite welcome! I know it can be tricky to wrap your head around the phpBB permission system… That tutorial should help you understand how it works.
Hi,
Can I integrate this theme with my Wordpress website? Also does it work for phpbb version 3.1?
Thanks!
Hi Zeen 
Yes you can integrate it. You will need a bridge plugin and the one of the best bridge I use for my clients is bridge-dd. The pro version enable allows you to integrate the header, footer and widget. You will still need to code certain things to get it work and also apply part of the WP style to the forum. This is usually something I do as freelancer task for my clients. Send me an email if you are interested.
As far as 3.1.x, not yet. FLATBOOTS will be compatible as of tomorrow
It will be the first update to support 3.1.x. I will release BBOOTS update soon, I just dont have an ETA yet.
Cheers! Dave
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply.
I sent you a message earlier through your profile here. Did you get it? 
I couldn’t find anything in the forum, so I’ll ask you here. How do remove the background image/color and increase the size of the content background to the entire screen. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab266/joslator641/background_zps1yamjpxr.png
I want to remove the gray background, and expand the content background to the entire screen.
Hi 
The forum is where you would ask to get a better answer
Its easier to post code etc and it’s also searchable..
Did you take a look at the documentation folder? It explains some quick “How tos” just like the background you need to change 
For the full width layout refer to this instead: http://www.sitesplat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=3661#p3661
Cheers! Dave
How do I contact you for freelance customization?
Hi JD,
via email please. Click on my username and then use the contact form. We’ll continue from there
Cheers!
Dave
Love your work! Wish you made vB themes as well, I’d be a customer for life.
Mike! Glad to see a fellow Canadian here
Thanks for the appreciation!
Dave
Is it compatible with the latest version of phpBB ?
Hey TR, 3.0.14 for now. My other theme, FLATBOOTS will be the first one to be updated to 3.1.x and the due date its actually very close now. Cheers! Dave
Hi, is’it compatible with phpbb 3.0.12
Hi Abou,
Yes it is.
Dave
Is it compatible with 3.1.4, after the last update on 07th May….
Hi Rish, Not yet. I updated it for 3.0.14 as my regular maintenance update.
FLATBOOTS is will be the first one to be updated for 3.1.x I dont have a ETA yet but its very close.
Same for all the premium extensions etc on the community forum : http://www.sitesplat.com/
Cheers! Dave
hi, is it compatible withe phpbb-seo
Hi,
Sure it is! The SEO mods edits are all core related.
Dave
Is it possible to remove the brackets on the logo?
Thanks.
Hi Erik,
Lets use the support forum so that these questions are searchable for other users who would like to do the same thing.

HI, I wish to use my current theme for desktop users and display your theme to mobile users. Can your theme do that or does it have to be used for both desktop users and mobile users?
Hi
That would be interdependent from the theme standard functions and you would need a modification to detect mobile viewport and apply the proper style (in You case BBOOTS). Honestly speaking I don’t think it worth the hassle and also Google will not like that for a question of usability…Dave
bummer. Google sent me a message on webmaster tools that mobile usability will now affect my rankings so wanted to hop aboard the mobile era. My site has a phpbb forum but also uses the forum header/footer login functions for the rest of the site. I only wanted to convert the forum mobile and not touch the rest. Thank you for your quick reply 
Send me an email we can continue from there. You can send me your forum link etc. i’ll take a look at it. Cheers! Dave
Good afternoon, I have a subscriber site in three levels, I wonder if I can control access, for example, the subscriber opted for quarterly plan, only this plan he would have access to the forum. After winning their three months and not hovesse the subscription renewal automatically he would be locked out of the site and consequently forum. This control tool exists inside of your product? I’m using a simple plugin, “Simple WordPress Membership”. I appreciate and would like to use your theme, I see that is highly recommended. Wait. (I’m in Brazil and do not write well in English, I’m using google translator)
Hi JM
It does exists. Its one of my Premium Addons and its being built for a client of mine who requested the same specification you need. You can set expiry time, group ID etc. Send me an email we’ll continue from there.
Cheers!
Dave
