im using - smf 1.1 and tp 9.6
everytime i add a tp 1.1 theme, the tp blocks never show up. why is this?
i cant even get the tp blocks to show with the smf default theme. but they work with helio multi.
i had to reinstall the default theme but now the tp blocks arent showing on the default theme.
Thats because the edits to the index.template.php file have been over written or some sort of thing.
hmm alot of tp themes for smf 1.1 arent showing tp blocks. is there a file i need to edit for these themes?
If you were running SMF 1.1 RCx with TP 0.96, then upgraded to SMF 1.1 Final, that will overwrite the TP code in some files. If you now install TP 0.97, it will restore the code in the SMF 1.1 files and TP should function normally.
im running SMF 1.1 final and TP 9.6
(i really dont wanna upgrade to 9.7 and lose all my stuff .)
the problem isnt just the default theme , but alot of themes that say there for 1.1 final and tp.
some themes show the tp blocks and some dont. i was wondering what file in these themes folder i need to edit in order to et the tp blocks to show on them
thx

You won't lose all your stuff. Do a backup anyway, but the database remains intact.
oh i didnt realize that.. so if i upgrade to 9.7 i wont have to reinstall any mods ( arcade etc) and my themes should work?
I don't know about your mods - it depends on what they are and to which files. But going forward to 0.97 is by far your best option. After you've done that, all SMF 1.1 Final TP themes should work and you can then fix any mod issues.

You should uninstall them to be on the safe side.After the upgrade all my mods and themes work.Including the arcade.
how exactly do i upgrade from 9.6 to 9.7?
what are the benefits?
Uninstall 0.96 (optional) then install 0.97 via Package Manager. See this thread for the changes - http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=11160.0
sry for all the questions, but. if i uninstall 9.6 how would i get my databases restored?
i know how to dl the saved databes but how do i set them back up in 9.7 ?
thx for ur help
Without uninstalling, just upload the package through the package manager and press [Apply]
And if it gives any errors report here.
But if it installs fine then ur set to go :up:
ok here goes
so which file should i get .. this one - http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item484
or this one -
http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item486
i want to keep the databases as is for now i think
This one - http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item486
just use the normal package, I believe its #486. When you click APPLY in the mods list page, next will appear a page which should give you the list of tests on the files and if they were successful or not. If you are getting errors on that page put them here and dont go on with the install. However if there are no errors, then go ahead with the install :)
I have to go now, but ill be back later.
i got these errors..

Suggest you chmod to 777 all files and directories that say "Test failed" and re-upload this one - /Themes/babylon/index.template.php - which is missing for some reason - 777 it too. Then try again.
i deleted that theme. i have over 10 diff themes in a themes changer block though.
i was hoping to upgrade to fix some mistakes i probably made while editing my existing files before , probably the ones that says "failed"
by 777 those files the current issues im having probably wont be solved
TP mods the Babylon theme so you better re-install it for a smooth install. If those files aren't 777, TP can't mod them.
I've gotta go out for a few hours now, but I'm sure someone else will be able to help. Good luck with it. Zuma
oh no
i did something ( i have no idea what ) but i cant see the tp settings section in admin panel now. no bloick manager no article manager .. nothing tp related is in my admin panel but tp blocks are still ok on forum.
man, what did i screw up?
i didnt install .97 but i did try to fix the old files by re uploading some of the ones that came in the 1.1 zip to my forum . i thought i backed them all up but something is messed up really bad . i cant see any tp settings in the admin panel.. plz help me fix this

That's OK, just make sure all the files and directories are 777 and go ahead and try and install 0.97.
Well since u already replaced the files, you might as well go ahead and try and see if the errors for the application go away or not.
ok i did it. now what do i do about .96? it still showing in packages after installing .97
also the "edit" icons are missing and the "red x's" that means the edit icon is midding are showing in weird places on the page.
1) The babylon theme is no problem if its missing. TP simply won't update it since it is not there. It will still update the CORE theme and Classic theme.
2) Always make sure you are in the DEFAULT CORE theme whenever installing/uninstalling any mod (TP is a mod, so that means TP as well!).
3) If you get files that say Test Failed it means that the installer could not find the "search" code specified to know where to put in the modification for that file. In otherwords, TP couldn't find something it was searching for in the file (probably due to some other mod adding or removing information that TP was looking for). This doesn't mean you are stuck, it simply means you will need to do some manual editing of the file that Failed. You will need to manually find what TP (or any other mod you install that gives you Test Failed on various files) was looking for and put the code TP wanted to insert or change where you find it.
This means that the code might look slightly different (which is why the installer couldn't find it on its own and gave you the Test Failed message in the first place) so you will need to figure out where that changed code is so you can then make the modification manually to it that TP would have done automatically had the code been in its original state. Sometimes its as simple as some mod added a remarked line (// remarks.. blah blah) and maybe inserted some code to do its own thing, but the SMF original code might not have been changed itself. But since we are looking for a series of lines of code to make sure we are finding the right place, it throws off the search because we don't find an exact match.
There will be a bit of editing to get it all straightened out. This is because typically anytime you update SMF, you should uninstall your mods first, update SMF, then reinstall your mods starting with the most complex (in this case TP). Your database stays intact when uninstalling mods, so as soon as your mods are reinstalled, all the data is still there and accessable.
You might be able to get away without doing that if you only have 1 or 2 small mods installed, but the more mods you have installed, the less likely it will go smoothly unless you uninstall them, upgrade SMF, then reinstall them.
