  Just how complicated would it be to install this theme onto PostNuke?

  I ask because I am just learning PHP and am not able to do any major mods yet.

  By far the easiest way is to use AutoTheme. You do not even need to know PHP but HTML would be useful.

  Thanks for the reply.
  
  I think that particular theme is designed more for PHP-Nuke? Will that make a differance when using it with AutoTheme for Post Nuke?

  The majority of the templatemonster template are not themes. There are only about 5 that are and they are PHP-Nuke. The template that you reference is just a template (original PhotoShop and exported graphics and HTML).
  
  For any of the templates, you would need to use AutoTheme to create the theme, which would then work in any of the 4 CMSs that AutoTheme supports.

  Okay Guys, lets say that I wanted to try and save myself the cost of AutoTheme (commercial version) and do it manually. How hard would that be for a PHP newbie? Just curious, as I would most liely by AutoTheme anyway.
  
  Another question on AutoTheme, does it also work on the phpBB forums within PostNuke? Would it work on phpBB2 Plus if I used that in my postnuke installation instead of the included version of PNphpBB2? (Probably wouldnt bother doing that though).

  What about converting a tru phpNuke theme to a PostNuke theme? Can this be done, I am sure it can, but how hard is it? What are the steps? I might find it just isn't worth the effort. I do not know enough to figure out what part of the phpNuke theme does not 'work' with PostNuke.
  
  Thank you,

  Hi Goanna,
  
  I've made a couple of 'starter' themes that basically separates the HTML from the PHP (instead of using the PHP 'echo' command to 'write' the HTML, which makes for difficult editing)... PHP is explicitly designed to be able to mix HTML with PHP, provided you tell PHP when it needs to be processing commands or variables. For example, anytime you need to put a variable (from PHP) in the HTML part of the theme, you can just code:
  

  Code

  <?= $variable ?>

  
  See my posts here for more info...:

  Give it a shot!

  With AT or AT-Lite you just have to find a site using one of the GPL PHPNuke themes, browse to it, do a Save-As then dissect the saved HTML to form your blocks.

  If your new to PHP just save yourself a lot of time and trouble and get AT Lite. Trust me. I have converted some TM templates to themes and it is by far the easisest. Use a good WYSIWYG editor and copy and paste the commands (blocks, footer etc) where you want them.
