What settings do you have for the frontpage - show only forum?

And have you chosen a forum thats open to guests?

Why don't you just uninstall the old one, and install the new one in package manager?
Title: Re: I'm back and still need help.lol

First you have to install the mod itself. Then you can install the Helios_TP theme as any other theme...you could just overwrite your current Helios theme yes.

It should be there. Are you using one of your own themes?
Title: Re: I'm back and still need help.lol
Post by: rider on March 11, 2005, 09:24:51 AM
We are using the heliousTP theme.i just can't get to work right.
Title: Re: I'm back and still need help.lol
Post by: Bjørn on March 11, 2005, 09:27:04 AM
The only thing I can think of is that articles do not have the option of comments, just the posts from the board.

That might change, but right now its not an option.

One more for you.Under current templates my boardindex.php comes up as 1.0 RC1 and is in red.How do I fix this?We did try to update and it work sort of.It updated to 1.01 but it seemed like we lost half the graphics.Thanks rider.

That number is just taken from the actual file - on top - in each template. So its up to the creator of themes to adjust it.

If the theme is announced to work with 1.0.2 ,but it says 1.0 in this, then just ignore it. Some creators do update the number, others do not. I think I maybe didn't update that number in some files of Helios, but files IS updated with necessary code changes. And thats what important.

In the default theme its another matter, here it IS tied to the number, because the official default them always has it updated. But as you probably have discovered, some files there too, are 1.0.1 or even 1.0 , and not 1.0.2.

That simply is becuase the files hasn't changed since 1.0.1 for instance, and therefore work and look just the same. When a big change come along..like 1.1 for instance, it will most likely change all the file numbers again.
