MyBB Community Forums

Hey guys, pretty new to MyBB, previous phpBB user. Very happy with the switch. The only issue I have is there doesn't appear to be a way to have an ftp path to MyBB template sets. I have searched every folder on my remote server as well as downloading the entire board from my server through Dreamweaver, still no dice.

Wondering if there is a way to set up an ftp path in Dreamweaver to the directory in which the templates are stored on my server because it would make my life a lot easier and would also allow me to test locally before I upload. I see that everything is cached within the acp. Is there a way to link to it directly?

Thanks

Templates are stored in the database.

may be its better to have a local installation of myBB (in your computer) to experiment with it ...

Doubling the work is not what I have in mind, in Dreamweaver you are able to set up a testing environment with the files on your server so there's no need to have two different directories with the same files.

I have found a siteground article on setting up an ftp path with a database and Dreamweaver if anyone is interested....

^ okay; not sure that using DreamWeaver eases your work with the templates !!

That won't help if the MySQL server doesn't allow remote access (E.g. localhost).

The tut worked for me I have the my database dynamically linked to Dreamweaver with ftp, so the article is legit. I use Aplus.net . Thanks for the replies guys!
