Skin Changes

[n-k]

Is there any information on how much the skin bits will change with 2.2? Will I have to redo my whole skin set, or did most of them stay the same?

I would imagine that the template bits relating to the profile and the postbit will have changed considerably.

Looks like the old {ipb.xxx} syntax used in 2.1 has been disabled. Is there a list of search/replace operations somewhere that we can apply to our old skins to make them work with 2.2? Something like "replace all occurences of {ipb.lang with X, {ipb.input with Y, etc...".

I realize that I'll still have to fix a few other sections, but with such a list, at least I wouldn't have to go through every single file of my skin.

Well, for the ipb.lang, ipb.input, it's just changed to $this->ipsclass->lang, and $this->ipsclass->input.

Also, in if's, you need to use the $ on variables now, where before you didn't.

I wouldn't upgrade your skins just yet though. :)

Yeah, right now I'm not doing anything, just trying to find out how much work I'll have to put into this. From the looks of it, I'll have to redo pretty much all of my changes, both in the skins and in the sources.

I'm going to have to do all my skins all over again. Glad I installed the beta, so I can work on them a bit before it goes live. :)

I'm unable to upload skin templates, and ideas why?
