I installed it, but it doesn't work

[Pyro In A Cage]

I installed tinyportal manually (Because package manager said it's not a valid package, or is corrupt). Nothing is in the admin panel about tinyportal, or anywhere else for that matter.

The manual installation didn't incldue any directions for modifying files, could this be why?

Compare what you did to what this tells you to do:

I read that already.

So, at what point are you having problems?

You don't need to modify any of the files for installation.

If you're trying to install the wrong TP version to the SMF version you have, you usually get a message saying it's not compatable or is corrupt.

What theme are you using when installing TP?

[Pyro In A Cage]

I'm using the theme "Cerberus" with "SMF 1.1 RC2", and the "TinyPortal v.0.8.6 - manual install
155 Kb" version of TP.

Switch to the SMF Default Theme "Core" and see if that helps.

ADMIN >> Themes and Layout >> Set Overall forum default: & Reset everyone to: to "SMF Default Theme - Core".

That made no difference.

There are supposed to be TP settings in the ACP, right? Where are they supposed to be?

The steps needed to be taken to get TP to show up on the manual install..

Just to make sure the 5 steps needed to be taken are infact done ?

1. Download the manual install package ( Done?)
2. Extract the package on your local machine, (Done ? )
3. Upload the files the your forum that is set to SMF DEFAULT theme [Done?)
4. Do the proper changes (cut and paste the code needed to the SMF files) as describes in the manual install text file ( Done?)
5. Point your browser to the manual_tp_install.php from your browser to get the database installed (Done ? )

Another soloution is to delete your forum and put it back in, then use exactly same settings and mySQL databases and tables. Your forums and posts will remain, but things like smilies, arcade games etc. will be waiting to be put back onto your forum. It's quite extreme, but I did it.  :laugh:

Mrs.G6, Step 4 is not conmpleted, because there is no file that says which code to modify.

rctxtreme, that is not an option.
