Is there a blanket template for particular kinds of forums?

Hello there,

I am wanting a template for wrestlingforum.com. I was wondering, if there is a template that is already made up for a similar forum, or a forum uses the same software, in this instance XenoForo, if it would work across the board?

No, there cannot be a generic template for any forum because the location of the actual images/videos can be different for every forum running on the same engine. They may or may not allow the attachments, they may or may not allow the use of external image hosts, and so on and on. So, usually, when I create a forum template I allow the software to crawl only the thread pages and then add the locations of the target files to the [ Included URLs ]. So, first of all, add this filter to the [ Excluded URLs ]:

Code: Select all

^https?://(www\.)wrestlingforum\.com

This will prevent Extreme Picture Finder from crawling any address that starts with "httрs://www.wrestlingforum.com". And then start adding the "allowed" addresses to the [ Included URLs ]. For example, if you want to allow Extreme Picture Finder to crawl the thread pages - add this filter:

Code: Select all

/page-\d+\?

This filter will allow Extreme Picture Finder to crawl any address that has "page-ANY_NUMBER_OF_DIGITS?" in it. And that's any thread page on this website. Then you add the filters (Regular Expressions) for the target file locations. You can start with

Code: Select all

/cdn-cgi/image/
