If you've never used a modification or hack before and don't know how to install
them, I've written a guide that may be of help to you.  You can find this guide at
the DarkMods site (see the end of this file).  There are also other excellent
guides in the http://www.phpbbhacks.com/ Tutorials.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         IMPORTANT!  READ BEFORE INSTALLING!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early parts of the installation instructions use the subSilver template as a guide.
If you wish, you make use a different template when subSilver is mentioned.  Should
you do this, please keep in mind that some code to be found when editing files may
be different later.  Just adapt the code to be found by search for smaller portions
of it, such as the first and last line only.

After installing this hack, you may at some point in the future apply other hacks
that add functionality to the phpBB Admin Panel.  When these hacks instruct you to
edit or add files in a templates/subSilver/admin directory (or other
templates/xxxx/admin directories), make those changes to the templates/admin
directory created during installation of this hack instead.

Also, please be aware that after installing this hack, you will not be able to
install other hacks which add or alter admin template files using EasyMod.

                             INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install Global Admin Template 1.0.0 on a phpBB forum, follow these steps.

1) If you have not done so already, unzip the Global Admin Template ZIP file you
   have downloaded.  This will create several new files.  These are described in
   detail by the readme.txt file.

2) Go to your forum's templates directory (e.g., phpBB2/templates/) and create a
   new subdirectory called "admin."  Now copy the contents of your forum's
   templates/subSilver/admin/ directory to the new templates/admin/ directory.
   Also copy the subSilver.css and formIE.css files from templates/subSilver/ to
   templates/admin/.  Finally, copy the error_body.tpl, message_body.tpl, and
   confirm_body.tpl files from templates/subSilver/ to templates/ (NOT
   templates/admin !).  Now, find the file called subSilver.css in templates/admin/.
   Rename it to admin.css (e.g., templates/admin/admin.css).

3) At this time, you will be making changes to original phpBB files.  Open the file
   called file_edits.txt in your favorite text editor or web browser.  Near the top
   of this file is a list of files labeled "Files To Edit."  Before you do anything
   else, find each of these files, either on your web server or local copy of your
   web site, and make a backup copy of each file.  If you encounter errors later,
   this will allow you to easily restore the file(s) causing the error(s).

   Now, make the changes to those files described in file_edits.txt.  You will be
   instructed to edit some of the files in the new templates/admin directory.  If
   you do not understand how to read the instructions for making those changes, see
   the top of this file for locations of two tutorials.

   When finished, upload the changed files.  You are now technically finished
   applying this hack, but may proceed to the next step if you wish.

4) This step is completely optional.  Proceeding will likely free 70+ KB of file
   space for per template, but it is not required.
   Each subdirectory of the templates directory, other than the new admin directory,
   should have an admin subdirectory of it's own.  An example of this would be
   templates/subSilver/admin or templates/zoneCopper/admin.  Find each of these
   xxxx/admin directories and make a backup of it.  Then delete these directories.
   Take care that you do not delete the templates/admin directory created when
   installing this hack.

5) If you have installed Nivisec's Mods/Hacks List hack, you can upload the
   global_admin.hl file to your hl/ directory.  If you do not have that hack
   installed, you can skip this.
