Title: Help with install manual
Post by: HJB on February 21, 2007, 02:12:28 AM
I have SMF 1.1.2 and am looking to install the right TinyPortal version. Where can I locate the appropriate installation manual and the tinyportal download link.

Newbie please be specific and no open ended leads.

I have installed the tinyportal (please see image below) but where do you go from there? On the documentation it says "Admin > Tinyportal" but there is no tinyportal on my admin menus. Do I have additional install to do?

I cannot tell from your picture but further to the right does it say apply mod or install? I can see the package is there but I don't see the red or green dot near the version. That should show if it is installed one way or the other; from your pic it isn't in the control panel on the left which implies it was not installed.

First you should always install all packages through the default theme, then you will need a Tinyportal enabled theme for TP to work ;) http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=cat476

Thanks guys for the quick response. Grumpy on the far right of that you have two options "List Files" and "Delete Files" I decided to delete the files and do as lesmond adviced; I re-installed using the SMF default theme, but then I had this error...please see image below:

My SMF version is 1.1.2

I got something this time after the install (see img). But link yet in the admin panel for TP. Do I need a special theme to bring it out?

By what you can read above was it properly installed?

I just installed one of those theme and I could still not see tinyportal on the admin menu. Under what category does it fall under? I also notice from the pakage menu (see image) "Apply Mod" which I had done already.

I can see in that image you haven't installed TP yet... See where it says apply mod? ;)

It may have not completely installed then. What next for me then? Should I try installing under the new theme?

I deleted and re-install and it stock at "table could not be updated" is this a known bug?

You could try the manual install here http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=12118.0 see if that helps

Personally, it seems to be easier to install 1.1.1 and apply TP 9.7.1 on that. You can then patch to 1.1.2 Since you don't have any mods yet that may be easiest if your unfamiliar with it.

Table cannot be updated sound like a database error.

If you would like, you could install the forum and give a user admin account to instal the TP and then change the admin access. I would only suggest that as a last resort and only in a pm to someone willing to do it. :)
