Here goes...
I've got a site running the SMF 1.1.2 with the TP 0.9.71 and it's working great. It has no mods or alterations in any of the coding for the SMF or TP.
I've got some time today, so I thought I'd try another theme, i.e., the multi-helios.
Do I need a TP multi-helios, a SMF multi-helios only, or both. If both in what order do I apply them?
I am currently using the SMF default theme on the site...boring.
I need to make some changes in the SMF default theme afterward to set up some menu items at page top, but I plan to wait until I have the new themes applied.
Pssst...forgot to mention I plan to intall a couple of mods from SMF, the ads manager,etc. Should I install them prior to the Bloc theme?
Yes, you need to ONLY use TP converted themes to your site now.
If you look in the download section you will find what themes to use with your setup.
You install all mods to the DEFAULT SMF, not any other theme what so ever. All the other themes you need to manually add the code from the mods.
G6
In the downloads section there are two types of theme files...
TP THemes = does this mean use this theme only when TP is installed?
SMF Themes = does this mean use this theme only when TP is NOT installed?
Currently, I have SMF default theme installed and then I just installed the TP. My theme is all SMF default.
-----------------------------------------
SO... The TP application file actually includes the SMF Default TP theme?

You are 100% correct in your assumption Dom. :)
You must think I'm a dumb butt, but I really want to make sure I'm getting my thinking straight. I appreciate you and G6 patience.
No problem! We all start some where. I'm just glad to see that you figured that out. :)
I am probably just as stupid, but I can only find the Helios Multi (helios_multi11final.zip) and no Helios multi TP ?
When I install it on my SMF 1.1.2 TP 0.9.7 TP i see the SMF theme without my tiny protal side bars. If i select my old not supported Helios Multi TP for RC3 it works but am missing several icons (which is probably normal since it is not supported).
If I install the Mirage Tp theme it works fine, so I feel I have the wrong Helios Multi....
Any suggestions from the pros ?
Hi,
excuse me for butting in, but having just gone over the possibilities myself I think I can safely answer that not all themes are available for TP. The number is much smaller. once you find something close to what you want you might have to modify it for your needs.

PS...... you will probably have to delete helios before you can install any of the tp themes too

I did that. Cleared all but the default and then installed the helios. No luck, just SMF no prortal sections visible. On the default it works, but I want to keep the same theme as before the upgrade. Lucky I did it on a test copy first.

did you go into your FTP and delete the folder in there as well?
You can use TP themes, only, if you have TP.
Is this the one you are using?

Someone else will be able to tell you if it is compatible with the version of TP you have, I'm not sure, but its the only helios version for TP I've found.
Just put helios in the search box on top, all kinds of advice there, maybe some of it will work for you.
Possibly this one?

Yes, I had to do that. Folder, contents and all. ::)
It wasn't bad actually--took perhaps 2 minutes as I have asymetric dsl with a slower speed for this kind of stuff. I used Fetch, but I guess, I could have done it with the webshell my webhost has also. The trouble with the webshell is that you would have to take the files out one...by one.... yech. )
Then I had to restart and reopen SMF. I also cleared the cache in Firefox.

Thanks. That was the file I needed. Never cam to me to look in archived versions for the most latest file. (still does not sound logical to me) But this version works lile a charm (some missing icons in latest IE, but could be caching related).
Can Bloc or someone who knows maybe confirm this is realy the latest TP enabled Helios theme ?
Will start upgrading my main site today now my test board look ok.
Thanks for the help !!!
Hi,
Well I made some mistakes in my own installation, so it is a bit of the blind leading the blind here. You had best speak to one of the experts about getting your old themes cleaned out of SMF and the best way to do it. There must be some post somewhere about this.
However yesterday I had a thorough look at all the themes - I am looking for themes now too -- and yes this is the latest one.
Good luck!
Kind regards
