Hello
As you all can understand i am new at forum developing, so i have 2 problems that i will describe now.
1. I have successfull install the tiny portal package at the default theme all the buttons (home,forum,help,search,etc..) is on their place, but when i am going to change a theme to another except of default i can find the forum button, there is if i write at the adress bar this "http://my domain/index.php?action=forum" i can see the forum section
2. The second problem is with my language, that is Greek-UTF8 i when i have install the tiny portal package at the first use i saw a welcome message telling that everything about the instalation is correct and also telling me that it has detect that my language is Greek-UTF8 so i have to download the language package and i am done. I have download the language i have install it at the right directory as the istalation txt file says. Do when i am trying to write a topic with greek language i take only this "?????????"
Sorry about the big post but i am new
Please help
Thanks in advance

You've described what you have done, but I'm not sure what problem you are having as you haven't really described it.
Is you're forum actually running in UTF-8? Have you checked?
Thanks for fast respond.
When i am posting a new topic instead of the words that i had write there ar only question marks.
How can i check if i am running UTF-8?
Thanks
This probably wont help you, but there are points in the first post to determine which character settings your forum is using and where to download the correct language packs.
If your forum is running in UTF-8, you need UTF-8 language packs.

My language pack is Greek-Utf8 i have check it in
* Admin > Configuration > Server Settings > Default Forum Language..
Now what i can do to resolve the proble? Any ideas?
Ok, lets try another way, I'm not entirely convinced.
Admin > Maintenance/Forum Maintenance > Convert HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters

Your impatience wont fix it any quicker, you may have a corrupt file, download it and check the file contents with a text editor. I still think you have the wrong version installed, or corrupt.
Ι have done it.
The same problem. The process was very fast, the bar was to 100% very fast. But the problem resists.
Also about the buttons i have read all the how to topic about adding buttons and i cannot find nothing to much the code for the buttons in the index page even the start of the code.
Thanks
I have download the files again from this site, i have upload it them again but still nothing done.
I have install the smf from Cpanel and the default is UTF-8 but still having question marks on my posts
Ok with the buttons i have done it. Actually i dont now how but i have done it.
But the poblem with the language i cant do nothing about it i keep trying but nothing.
Thanks
Anyone to help???
As a general personal rule of mine, if someone bumps their post within 24 hours I don't help them. You should not do that, its considered rude in most communities and only shows a lack of patience for the people here working support on their own free time.
Sorry agout that i didnt knew it.
If you want help me if you dont i can kindly accept that.
I am new and i dont know the rules (personal or public).
Sorry if i have create a problem.
With me having little to no experience with Language packs, it's sometimes difficult for me to give the correct advice all of the time.
I don't understand other languages at all, but I've just downloaded the Greek UTF-8 TP pack.
It seems to me that it only covers the TinyPortal package, I've also just downloaded the TP Greek UTF-8 language pack from SMF and I think you will need that installed too.

The TP language pack looks ok to me, not that I can understand any of it.
I have downloaded the greek language from smf but it will only apply to the three themes, default,babylon,classic, what i will do with the theme that i want to apply the greek language?
I personally don't know, I've never installed a language pack on my site.
Maybe one of our other members who do use Languages can help.. You really need to either change your topic title to reflect that you also need Language help.
Or start a new topic, it's up to you.
