Files to change

1) Open addcomments.tpl

Find

[sec_code]

Add before:

[question]
<tr>
<td class="label">Question:</td>
<td><div>{question}</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">Answer:<span class="impot">*</span></td>
<td><div><input type="text" name="question_answer" id="question_answer" class="f_input" /></div></td>
</tr>
[/question]

2) Open addnews.tpl

Add the following code on the beginning of the file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="engine/skins/chosen/chosen.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="engine/skins/chosen/chosen.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
	$('#category').chosen({allow_single_deselect:true, no_results_text: 'No category found or not selected'});
});
</script>

Find:

[sec_code]

Add before:

[question]
<tr>
<td class="label">Question:</td>
<td><div>{question}</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">Answer:<span class="impot">*</span></td>
<td><div><input type="text" name="question_answer" class="f_input" /></div></td>
</tr>
[/question]

3) Open comments.tpl

Find

<li>[com-edit]Edit[/com-edit]</li>

Add before

<li>[complaint]Report Abuse[/complaint]</li>

The theme design will be different, but the point to modify this file is to add complaint module button to report inappropriate comments to the site administrator, you can use your own languages, image or icon that suite to your theme design but you must keep the tags [complaint] and [/complaint] for the link to click for report

Find:

<li>Registration: {registration}</li>

Add after:

<li>Status: [online]<img src="{THEME}/images/online.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" title="Currently Online" alt="Currently Online" />[/online][offline]<img src="{THEME}/images/offline.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" title="Currently Offline" alt="Currently Offline" />[/offline]</li>

The themes are different designed, but the reason of modification is add the online/offline status next to registration, however, you can add the status to anywhere you want the status icon to display

4) Open the file feedback.tpl

Find:

</tr>[/recaptcha]

Add after:

			[question]
			<tr>
				<td class="label">
					Security Question:
				</td>
				<td>
					<div>{question}</div>
				</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td class="label">
					Answer:<span class="impot">*</span>
				</td>
				<td>
					<div><input type="text" name="question_answer" id="question_answer" class="f_input" /></div>
				</td>
			</tr>
			[/question]

5/6)Open fullstory.tpl and shortstory.tpl

Find:

<div class="ratebox"><div class="rate">{rating}</div></div>

Replace with:

[rating]<div class="ratebox"><div class="rate">{rating}</div></div>[/rating]

The themes are different designed, but the reason of modification is add the open/closed tags for [rating] and [/rating] to cover rating tag so if the article rating enable or disable then the rating style will be removed

7) Open login.tpl

Find:

<label for="login_name">Name:</label><input type="text" name="login_name" id="login_name" />

Replace with:

<label for="login_name">{login-method}</label><input type="text" name="login_name" id="login_name" />

Note: the theme design maybe vary, so don't worry if you can't find the code above, this upgrade instruction is base on the "Default" theme that comes with script, so if you are not using Default theme then please note this option is for "Login" method, the tag is only to let your site members know that which method your website is setting to login by using "Username" or "E-mail", so the exactly purpose of tag {login-method} is to switch between method text, so if you have special design on your theme, you just need to put the text to tell your members which method you use for login in your website, so that you don't have to put the tag {login-method} in your theme, for example www.dlestarter.com is using email login method and we use icon for login input, so we just use email icon and text to tell our members that we use email login, not username...so that's good example.

Find:

<li class="lbtn"><button class="fbutton" onclick="submit();" type="submit" title="Login"><span>Login</span></button></li>

Add before:

<li class="lfield lfchek"><input type="checkbox" name="login_not_save" id="login_not_save" value="1"/><label for="login_not_save"> Do not remember me</label></li>

Note: the theme design maybe vary, so don't worry if you can't find the code above, this upgrade instruction is base on the "Default" theme that comes with script, so if you are not using Default theme then please note this option is for "Login" cookie either to save cookie or not saving cookie on the local computer you are using to login to your website, the tag input ID "login_not_save" is to give the option for you and your members the option for "Do not save me" if this option is check when you and your members login to your site, the cookie session for your site login will not be be saved on that computer, this option is very helpful if you and your members using ublic computers or friends' computers. The code can be placed anywhere within a login form in login.tpl file, the only require tags are:

Checkbox:

<input type="checkbox" name="login_not_save" id="login_not_save" value="1" />

And text for checkbox label:

Do not remember me

So you can apply them to your own design theme without having to worry some tags and code maybe missing like I said above, the theme designs are different from Default theme...!

8) Open pm.tpl

Find:

<div class="dpad">[inbox]Inbox[/inbox] | [outbox]Outbox[/outbox] | [new_pm]Send New PM[/new_pm]</div>

Replace with:

<div class="dpad">
<div class="pm_status">
	<div class="pm_status_head">PM Statistics</div>
	<div class="pm_status_content">PM for your account usages:
{pm-progress-bar}
{proc-pm-limit}% out of ({pm-limit} allowed)
	</div>
</div>
<div style="padding-top:10px;">[inbox]Inbox[/inbox]<br /><br />
[outbox]Outbox[/outbox]<br /><br />
[new_pm]Send New PM[/new_pm]</div>
</div><br />
<div class="clr"></div>

The themes are different designed, but the reason of modification is add the PM box status, this status will show you how hoch space you have used for your PM limit assigned to your usergroup account, the following tags are added to this file:
- {pm-progress-bar} this is the bar to show the level of pm box in your account
- {proc-pm-limit}% this is the percentage of usages
- {pm-limit} this is the total PM message allowed for your user account (Set in usergroup manager)

Find:

</tr>
[/recaptcha]

Add after:

			[question]
			<tr>
				<td class="label">
					Security Question:
				</td>
				<td>
					<div>{question}</div>
				</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td class="label">
					Answer:<span class="impot">*</span>
				</td>
				<td>
					<div><input type="text" name="question_answer" id="question_answer" class="f_input" /></div>
				</td>
			</tr>
			[/question]

9) Open profile_popup.tpl

Replace with:

{news-num}

Find:

{comm_num}

Replace with:

Different theme designs are different, some of theme use /style/engine.css, some use /styles/engine.css, some use /css/engine.css, some don't use engine.css file but use different name or file, but the point is to add this tag within the theme anywhere in css file

13) Open style/engine.css

Some themes use different folders like "styles" or "css", but what you need is add the code to engine.css within those folders, if your theme doesn't have engine.css, you can add the code to one of your css files

14) Open style/styles.css

Add the following code at the end:

.pm_status {
	float:left;
	border: 1px solid #d8d8d8;
	padding: 0px;
	background-color: #fff;
	width: 280px;
	height: 100px;
	margin-left: 20px;
	margin-right: 5px;
}

Some themes use different folders like "styles" or "css", but what you need is add the code to styles.css or style.css within those folders, if your theme doesn't have styles.css, you can add the code to one of your css files

15) open the {THEME}/.htaccess

The .htaccess file in your "templates/your_theme" folder

replace all the code inside the file with the following contents:

Order allow,deny
Deny from all
<FilesMatch ".(css)$|^$">
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

For example if you are using theme "WStarter" then the file /templates/WStarter/.htaccess must contain the code above

16) Add image dleimages/noavatar.png

Copy the image file from your default template /templates/Default/dleimages/noavatar.png folder of your template. or /templates/YOUR-THEME/images/noavatar.png (This image is using the same file as your default "noavatar.png", so you can copy your old image from /images/ folder to /dleimages/ folder)
