XF 2.2 New Templates

[thedunes]

Can someone point me to a good place to get a template that will have installation info? I just opened a XenForo-hosted account but I am way out of my league when it comes to setting it up so I was hoping to buy a template. I can build you a cell site but not a forum, I know I will need to be able to run most of the board but with so much talent in this area, I was hoping to get a headstart by using a template.

I am trying to search for the answers first

I posted another topic about my URL but thought I should put this question under its own post, if I should keep my questions on one post just let me know.

Thanks,

John

By 'template' do you mean some sort of help/guidance, rather than a style?

There is the manual here: https://xenforo.com/docs/xf2/

HYS threads here: https://xenforo.com/community/forums/have-you-seen/

Various guides here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/xenforo-tips-guides-2-x.43/

If you want to pay someone to set things up for you, you can post here: https://xenforo.com/community/forums/custom-service-development-requests.69/

But in general, just ask in the forum - that's what it's for.

Yes, I meant style, when I had websites in the past I would use templates for my WordPress site that would build out most of the site. I was thinking that I could do the same thing in XenForo. I will read the links you sent.

Thanks again,

John

This looks like what I was thinking about @Brogan I think I am saying templet but I should be saying Styles.

In addition to the link @MySiteGuy posted, there are many styles available here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/styles-2-x.45/

The xenforo installation comes with a default style, you're looking at what you get when you use this forum.

Okay, that makes sense, the guy that started www.fordtremor.com told me about XenForo, it's what he uses but he hosts it on his own server so I opted for hosting on XenForo. I have been using his site for years so I was thinking I could buy a similar template and just change some of the colors and titles that would work for my Speed UTV forum.

You're in luck because their theme is by Pixel Exit.

Looks like Nova:

Nova

A bold new look for any community. Nova comes with a dark mode and our highly popular Gamer Time variation.

I agree, I just sent Russ an email with a few questions. Thanks

I just noticed it was in the ford tremor footer. I just purchased it from Pixel Exit. Appreciate the help. Now I just need to figure out how to get my DNS to resolve.

@MySiteGuy is excellent in this area too.

Yes, I meant style,

PixelExit by @Russ is by far away my go-to. They do some of the better styles, and they have a lot of "goodies" in them.
They provide great support, and their one-off custom styles are fantastic. I use Blackened Pro on my site, "tweaked" just a tad bit.

Just purchased Nova. Thanks.

I emailed you back by the way, sometimes it goes to spam but welcome!

The other great thing about Russ's work, he doesn't replace entire xenforo templates with ones of his own. Making his styles play very nicely with plugins and add-ons.

Yep, it's again, one of the reasons I will continue to recommend their styles to those who want good support and a great platform to work from.
