Want to create a skin or use the layout of your website for inscriptio? The following instructions willl show you how to do this (starting from the assumption that you use inscriptio1 and the name of your skin is "myskin").
  1. Start creating a regular website that looks the way you want it. You can use HTML or even PHP.
     
  2. Add an image with the size of 580x500 pixels. This is roughly the size inscriptio needs (note that the height may vary due to several special pages like the list of contacts). This picture "reserves" the place for inscriptio. You can download a picture of this size right here.
     
  3. To set the colors for inscriptio you have to use a css-file. Please name it "myskin.css". There are three classes you should use:

    This class: defines the following things:
    gitter the table
    unterpunkt the names of the items
    zwischenpunkt the subheaders
    (see screenshot)

  4. Save all the images in the subfolder "images_myskin"!
     
  5. Take care that you provide links to the following files:

    This link: leads to:
    start.php home to inscriptio
    kontakteanzeigen.php list of contacts
    neuerkontakt.php add a contact
    neueemail.php new e-mail
    setup.php setup
    (see screenshot)

    Experienced users only:
    You can create the links as images (buttons) or as text. If you use regular textlinks they will always be in your language. In case you want them to appear in the language the user selects, please write:

    <a href="LINKURL"><?php
    echo "$variable";
    ?></a>

    instead of:

    <a href="LINKURL">TEXT</a>

    inscriptio will replace $variable with the text!

    At this $variable: inscriptio writes the text:
    $index_start Home
    $index_anzeigenedit List contacts
    $index_neuerkontakt Add contact
    $index_neueemail New e-Mail
    $index_setup Setup

    So, a textlink to the list of contacts would be like this:

    <a href="kontakteanzeigen.php"><?php
    echo "$index_anzeigenedit";
    ?></a>

  6. Save it as "skin_h_myskin.php"
     
  7. Create an empty file and save it as "skin_f_myskin.php".
     
  8. Open both files in a regular text editor.
     
  9. Move all the code behind the tag of the image mentioned in point 2. into the empty file.
     
  10. Delete the image tag (at the end of "skin_h_myskin.php").
     
  11. Save all the files and upload them to your inscriptio directory. Run inscriptio and go to the setup menue.
It is important to give the files the extension "php" (Even if you just use HTML)! It is also very important to begin the file names with "skin_h_" and "skin_f_" (Even the underlines are important!).
