Skin Imports & More
Oct 16 2009, 03:09 PMThe import skin files feature is now officially announced and available to all. This is a new feature for Jcink Forum Boards that will change how we all manage skins on our forums for the better. What this means is that it is now easy for you to import, backup/export, and install new skin XML files or pieces of them to mix and match. There is nothing else to do - it's simply one click importing of skin files.
Click here for complete information on the new feature
Additionally, we've made some other changes along the way:
- Behavior of saving stylsheets and wrappers has changed. No longer redirected after saving changes, making it easier to edit
- Cleaned up some useless/bugged features from the skinning area (such as color picker, etc).
- Removed some irrelevant data from the skin set adder.
Two "surprises" with this update also related to skinning/design:
- You can now store 50 macro, wrapper, stylesheet, and skin sets! We've increased it by 30, so you should have plenty of room for new skins that will come about as a result of this new system.
- The latest version of jquery is now available automatically on all boards.
I'd also like to thank everybody who helped me test it, along with Gunblaza and card123 for being some of the first to make some of their skins available on this platform. Check the skinning section for some of their work.
Enjoy the update, and let us know of any issues you may have.

XML file downloads have been fixed on the boards as well. When you click attachments, they should download.

CODE @header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$thefile\"");
I simply made the content disposition header throw it back as an attachment rather than making it inline.

Great Jcink can't wait to give it a try with my skin designs.
I hope there is something on the Wiki explaining how to use it?
