My Studio for MyBB

A modular theme and extension manager for MyBB 1.8.

MyStudio gives you a proper file-based workflow for building MyBB themes. Instead of editing templates through the database, you work with real files on disk: HTML templates, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript, JSON configs, and PHP hooks. MyStudio takes care of syncing everything to the database so MyBB can use it.

It comes with a built-in Monaco code editor (the same engine behind VS Code), a ZIP-based import/export system, a module architecture for theme-scoped extensions, and a Page Builder for creating standalone pages with clean URLs. The whole thing is open source.

MyStudio Plugin handles all the heavy lifting: file-to-database syncing, theme import/export, the Admin CP interface, the editor, and the module loader.

MyStudio Default Theme is a complete MyBB frontend theme built on Bootstrap 5.3.8 with Bootstrap Icons 1.11.3 (both self-hosted, no CDN needed). It ships with five modules:

• Editor Extras adds Bootstrap Icons to the toolbar, image paste/drag-drop upload, emoji picker, GIF search, syntax highlighted code blocks, auto-save, word count, and @mentions to SCEditor.
• Forum Display Extras shows last poster avatars, a user info modal on click, subforum column layouts, card-style forum listings, and usergroup color formatting.
• Forum Icons lets admins assign Bootstrap Icons or uploaded images to individual forums, with status-aware coloring (accent for new posts, muted for read).
• Profile Extras adds profile banner customization (upload, solid color, or gradient) plus a status update system with privacy levels.
• Page Builder creates standalone pages using a Monaco HTML editor, with clean URL routing, front page override, per-page CSS/JS, group permissions, and template variables.
