Hello miamizx,

Welcome to TinyPortal.

If http://aquariumclassifieds.com/ is the link to your site, it will be difficult for us to help you since you not only don't have a TinyPortal Copyright at the bottom, but you are missing the SMF Copyright and the Copyright of the Theme Author.  To not respect the work of TinyPortal and the Theme Author by not showing their Copyrights is bad enough but not showing the SMF Copyright makes your site illegal.

To read our Copyright Policy, click here --> TinyPortal Copyright Policy (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=2320.0)

To read the Simple Machines Copyright policy, click here --> Simple Machine License and Copyright Policy (http://www.simplemachines.org/about/license.php)

To see what the SMF Copyright and panic's Copyrights should look in this theme, click this link and choose the Kelo-Lt theme.  A the bottom of that page you will see the Copyrights --> http://demo.padexx.de/

Please replace the Copyrights on your site and then let us know and then we will be glad to help you.

I'm helping a friend, his web guy was never heard from again. I looked at the footer and the copyright info was commented out, let me know if everything that should be there is.

Thanks.

miamizx,

Much better, although the theme author's copyright is still missing.  Thank you. O0 The theme was a port for panic's theme to work with TP 0.98, and ported over by Crip, the author of many themes here on TinyPortal.  I will refer him to this topic and ask him to comment on his policy.

In any case, let's get back to your original post.  You say you don't see the menu.  Are you referring to the menu at the top with the Home button and the Forum button?  I see those when I go to the site.  If that's not what you are referring to, please be a little more specific.

I did convert Panic's Theme with permissoin , and the copyright is suppose to be in the Footer not in the Forum Linktree uptop like it is.

ok I moved the copyright to the footer, that should be it correct?

The menu I'm not seeing is the one for Tiny Portal in the admin, I'm not too familiar with TP but from what I gather there is supposed to be a menu to edit the blocks and so on.

missing language strings?

..  utf-8?
Title: Re: Missing TP admin menu
Post by: miamizx on March 26, 2010, 06:47:31 PM
Only have English installed

Yeah, more than likely what Crip says, though there is usually a blank space where the TP menu goes if you are missing language strings.  Was the TP Admin menu there before you upgraded to SMF 1.1.11?  What is the default language for the Forum?  Try going to Admin/Configuration/Server Settings/ and changing "Default Forum Language" to English and see if it then shows up.

Edit:  OK, saw your response.  There might be more going on here than just missing language strings.  It's not English-utf8, right?  I think I will back off here and let you and Crip talk about this some more.  You guys LMK if you need me.

you dont have a TP Help Llnik on the [Help] ..... where did you get the Theme? Crip Board?

I did a search earlier and saw that the utf8 was an issue for a lot of people but in this install there is no option for utf8, only English.

I think this site is a couple of years old and I know at one time the menu had to be there to edit the blocks that are still visible in the portal home page.

I'm not sure where this template came from.

What is usually the link to one of TP menu items? (http://aquariumclassifieds.com/index.php?action=xxxxxxxxx)

Sounds like you're missing some edits and stuff from the installation of TP. If I were you I'd run through the manual process and check to make sure all files have been uploaded, and all the SMF files have been edited. Here's the instructions for the edits that you can check.
Modification Instructions (http://docs.tinyportal.co.uk/index.php?topic=140)

Let us know if this doesn't fix it for you.

ditto?
Title: Re: Missing TP admin menu
Post by: IchBin on March 26, 2010, 07:29:20 PM
ah crap. That would probably be because Bloc hasn't been able to get the Doc site backup since moving... I'll see if I can't find a copy of the instructions some where around here.

Thanks again Crip, I'll take a look.

Is this the manual install? http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=14230.0
Title: Re: Missing TP admin menu
Post by: IchBin on March 26, 2010, 07:38:52 PM
That should work.
Title: Re: Missing TP admin menu
Post by: miamizx on March 26, 2010, 08:57:49 PM
Looks like this is going to take me a while because of the template. Can anyone please post the default links for TP admin, ie: index.php?action=tpadmin
Title: Re: Missing TP admin menu
Post by: IchBin on March 26, 2010, 09:00:47 PM
I don't know anyone that has that old version of TP installed. Sorry.
