How to Rip MyBB Skin - Yusadolat - 04-24-2014
I am not responsible for what you do with these themes or if the DMCA is violated.
THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH EVERY FORUM, BUT NEARLY ALL MYBB FORUMS
STEPS
1) Find the MyBB forum you would like to rip. Go into the main forum page.
2) Right click anywhere and hit "Inspect Element" or "View Source" this all depends on whichever browser you are using.
3) Press CTRL + F (Search) and type in this:
Code:
Code:
.css
Keep searching and clicking the arrows until you find the line with theglobal.cssfile link.
4) Select the link and open it in a new tab. Copy all of this into a notepad file.
5) Now go into your admin page and hit Create a Theme. Give it a name and use the default settings and then go edit the "global.css" page and delete all the code and paste it in there!
This part is optional, only do this if you want most/all the images.
In some lines you might see things like this:
Code:
Code:
(.../images/theme/header.png)
They can also show up like this:
Code:
Code:
(../../../images/maintheme/body_bg.png)
Replace those lines with the website URL you are ripping, therefore you have the images now!
Hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial!

This will only copy the stylesheet (css)
When forums have custom built in stuff it will not work.
Secondly ripping is pathetic and it pisses me off. If you posted this to inform users on how its done then I'm fine with it. Unfortunately there is no way to completely make your theme/website or what ever "rip-proof".

And when the websites owner investigates why his bandwidth is so high, or his site gets shut down for exceeding bandwidth, he'll know exactly who to target. A DMCA notification will bring that site down faster than you can say copyright.

This is a useless method.
1. Custom templates are build for the needs of the forum, so you will miss a lot of buttons icons for your need.
2. You only rip the html, css and some images, if php, java and or jquery etc is used you should use better methods.
3. Probably you rip to much what screw up your own index and plugins you use.
4. If you can not create or modify your own css or create your own template it will be one big mess!!!
AMEN

PHP is primarily located in the template files, not the theme. The theme is primarily HTML, CSS, images, and javascript. This means it is all accessible to you as a user to copy should you wish to do so. As long as the template has not been modified and uses the default mybb template, there should not really be many issues.
