When you Refresh the skins of a forum/forums all the skin edits go away and many plugins you have may use skin edits so those would would need re-activation too (de-activate and activate), but some people don't want their forums to be refreshed and don't really care about getting new skins (because that is why you refresh in the first place)...well maybe not at that moment so i present you - Manual Skin Refresh! Manual Skin Refresh allows your forums admins refresh their forums themselves when they want to! So you don't have to do it yourself and people don't be angry about their forum being refreshed when they didn't want it. The Design is very simple and easy to use:
Note: The picture says you need to input the full link. Actually you can just write the access name, just the full link is better supported.
You just make sure the admins know how to access it (it's like this http://www.hostsite.com/mybb/refresh.php) and they will do it themselves when they want to.
Features:
+Forum admins can refresh themselves so you don't have to do it
+Easy to use Design
+Much less fuss for you in the future
+Easy to install (no file edits required)
Installation:
1. Download and extract this WinZIP Archive:
http://plunder.com/072c2e1f7a
Note: I still can't add any files as attachments so that's why its at mediafire.com
2. Upload both of the files (refresh.php and mybb.png) to your myBB installation.
For example, if you installed your main myBB to yoursite.com/mybb/ then that's where you upload the files.
3. Give the link to refresh.php to your hosting users (post in your support forums for example)
This is a really useful mod so +rep is greatly appreciated
Also, you can skin the page as you want to. Just open refresh.php and edit the HTML parts (don't edit the PHP code though), like maybe add CSS or make it look like your Hostings website page
