Which one are you? comment down
You can see on the left are things every newbie does – Adding all the custom codes in extra.less
while on the right is the best way to avoid clusters and confusion of the codes.
In this method, we just create a new template and include this template in extra.less
Let’s start:
For this we will go to Xenforo ACP > Appreance > Template.
Click on “Add Template“
Name your template. Make sure that the name you select is unique and isn’t being used by any other templates. The name should end with .less
For reference, I will name it subforumin2grid.less since I will use them to change my subforums to a 2-column layout.
Now add your custom code in the text area and click save at the bottom
You have now created a custom template.
Now it’s time to call this template in your extra.less to work in the forum.
Go to extra.less template same path as earlier
Add the below code to call your custom template in extra.less
{{ include('subforumin2grid.less') }}Change “subforumin2grid.less” with the template name you assigned
Click SAVE and done.
You have now learned how to create a custom template in Xenforo and include them in the working style.
