:uglystupid2: I'm running the Helios Multi theme on a SMF1.0.7 forum site. This is a clean install.
When I try to install  tp in the Package Manager I I download the files to the package manager however, everytime i try to install the tp package i get an error stating that my file is incompatible or corrupt.

  Mod Name Version   
1. SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0  Installed
2. SMF 1.0.6 Update 1.0   

Site: http://www.islandtackle.com/smf/index.php
What am I doing wrong

If I need to do a manual install Please give me step by steps to do this.

Are you applying the TP mod from the Default theme ?
TP needs to be installed from the default theme.

Second thing is the theme itselfe. Do you have the SMF version of HELIOS, or the TP version of HELIOS ?

You cant use Tp if you havent got the TP theme installed.

I applied Tp to the default theme and I have TP version of HELIOS installed.
I have tried to install TP in both my SMF default theme and under the TP version of HELIOS..
I get the error an stating that my file is incompatible with SMF or corrupt.

If I use the TP version of HELIOS I get the error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tportal_version() in /home/tunatack/public_html/islandtackle/smf/Sources/Load.php(1040) : eval()'d code on line 417


I think this is from not having TP installed yet
Thanks for the help

I guess Bloc has not added  1.07 to the install yet

You need to edit package-info.xml in the zip file

find on Line 8

<install for="1.0.5, 1.0.6">

and change to

<install for="1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7">

find on line 17

<uninstall for="1.0.5, 1.0.6">
And change to

<uninstall for="1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7">

Zip up and Reupload to your server and try again

Cool that worked Great!!! Thanks For the help..

I only have one small prob. With my  Helios TP Theme / some of the gif files are missing and are not in the tp zip file.    the files are  -  tpmodule.gif - tpmodule2.gif - tpoptions.gif - tpgoto.gif


where can I find these

they are in the rc2 helios tp theme
download here
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item82

extract the image files you are missing & upload to your server

;)

I have a similar problem. I have edited my Package.info.xml file as shown above and this now allows the package manager to install the package but i get the following error when i try and install;
An Error Has Occurred!
2: opendir(/home/ian/forum/Packages/temp/Themes) [<a href='function.opendir'>function.opendir</a>]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory
File: /home/ian/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 949

I have chmod 777 both these directorys and checked they exist but just keep getting the same error.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It seems like you have the theme in some "temp" forlder, and the xml file are looking for the theme in the "default" folder. You have to keep the files as is and not rename them or put them in any other foldername.

The packagemanager are looking in the wrong folder for where you have the theme files in.

Should look like this

wwwroot
  *FORUM
      *THEMES

And not

wwwroot
    *FORUM
         PACKAGES
              *TEMP
                 *THEMES

Thanks for the prompt reply!

However, i did not move/rename any of the directory's. I have a Themes folder in here; /home/ian/forum/Themes.
I deleted all my files and directory's in my temp folder and tried to install again. I get to here,
Install Actions for archive Tinyportal0_86.zip:
Installing this package will perform the following actions:

4.    Extract Tree    ./tp-downloads    
5.    Execute Code    tp_install.php

When i get click proceed, i get,

Can i edit the install file to point to the themes dir?

thx

You shouldent have to do that.

If you can, look and see if the source file is there and are writable. And if not, upload a new Subs-Package.php to the rootdir/sources

replaced the Subs_Package.php in the sources dir with a fresh copy. Still the same  :'(

Maybe my only choice is a manual install? do i just
'php 1139149106manual_tp_install.php' at root after uploading the files?

Ok, i went for the manual install and I guessed that I should upload th TP files and ADD them to each SM directory?
I then run the database file and got no errors but where is the attached file that outlines what else has to be done? I've looked for a simple step by step guide all through the forum but cant find one.

many thanks for your help!

any thoughts on when that might happen?

He havent had the time to fix it just yet.

But i just made the manual install, and it worked out fine exept for the index.template.php file.

But if you try the manual install i will add the index.template file here for you to grab, or you can get it from the chit chat section where i have a post asking for a working one, there is one attached to that post from beemer.

Muttly,

Did you copy and paste my changes from above ?
There was a typo that only seems to affect some versions of mysql/php (temp thing)

Try it again it should work for you now.

Apologies  :uglystupid2:

I did beemer, and it did get the package manager to accept the file and upload it. Unfortunately I had the error show above. I'm just missing the file that outlines what else has to be done?
It's not that I have a corrupted SM because i installed a fresh copy and got all the same errors.

Muttly

If you want to pm me some details I can take a look for you

Thanks for your help beemer but i've now got it working - looks great! sent a paypal donation tonight - many thanks all!

i just don't get it

mayb an idiot, but i seem to be missing some parts of this conversation and i am not finding the info i need in any other area of the forum...

specifically... the sub-package thing...  where do i get this "new subs-package.php"?  manual install?  i must be blind, cuz i'm not findin any on that either.  if this stuff on this site, please... link me to it.

almost seems it would be easier to dump the new smf revision and go back to living a peaceful life... :/

It seems like you dont have the right permissions set to the image folder, try to set the file to atleast 755 and see if it helps. Otherwise try the manual install i linked to.

manual install files

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item100

manual database install

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item101

Then read through this file. This file is a download textfile.
I suggest you read it through cause it contains the manual install guide for all versions of SMF, and you have to add files diffrent from the version of your SMF

You have that file - it is referencing line 961 of that file. If you have line 961, then you must have the file.   ;D

I would love to assist you, but I had a similar problem with 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 with all sorts of permissions issues (many with Sub-Packages.php) on install - hence I went with RC2 and had no problem.

So if what G6 tells you (last post) doesn't work, you might consider trying RC2.

Okay I've just installed smf v 1.0.7, added the 1.0.7 the coding inside package-info.xml file.. and loaded tp to get this:

2: copy(/home/forumken/public_html/sm/Themes/default/languages/TPmodules.english.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied
File: /home/forumken/public_html/sm/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 961

I've read the posts here and I can't get it to work. How do I change this 755 issue and where exactly is this permission thing in the admin panel? I'd appreciate any assistance.

If I upgrade to RC2 would this fix it? Where exactly is this RC2?

It fixed the problem for me. I was coming off of 1.0.5 and had nothing but fits in upgrading. So I went with SMF 1.1RC2, the second release candidate of v1.1, available at the SMF site.

It is listed as a release candidate, which means it is more than beta, but not quite production ready. However, most of us here have been running it with no real problems.

Any permissions changes in the admin panel won't help you. If any might, it would require either shell access or a change via FTP.

http://www.simplemachines.org/download/

Thanks, I found the 1.1RC2 at this weblink, I'll install this and get back to you on the progress.

Perfect - one of the fine folks here will be happy to help.

Hey I uploaded 1.1RC2 update on my ftp server under packages but it doesn't seem to show up in my "modification packages" screen in admin section.. I also tried uploading from my desktop but it says file corrupt.. help?

I tried all 3 of them..

What does this mean? I dont get this 755 thing? That manual way seems awefully long..

This is what I did for the manual install: (I’m a complete noob, so this will help others I hope!)

I uploaded the manual install â€ËÅ"files only’ file http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item100 and added all the files from each directory into the relevant directory for SM i.e. all the themes were copied and pasted into the SM themes dir.

I uploaded the file http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=get101 and run it â€ËÅ"php 1139149106manual_tp_install.php’ in the main SM directory.

Note: If your having permission problems then chmod 777 all your SM (chmod 755 did not work for me).

Download the instructions for modifying your php files in SM from here http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2481.0;attach=1830

Follow the instructions in the file for editing each php file as required â€ââ,¬Å" just copy and past each section into the php file.

The third php for editing was a problem because I could not find the entries from the install instructions for that file (index.php) so I downloaded a working copy here and replaced my index template in my SM root dir; http://www.webmasterz.eclipse.co.uk/images/index.template.zip

Restart SM in your default theme.

I see I found the permissions in my ftp.. and they're all set to 755.. let me try manual..

Okay.. too many syntax errors.. let me search in google for an uncorrupt 1.1RC update.. the one in simplemachines.org says it's corrupt.

Are you using the package manager to upload this file laetababy? if so, i had the same error (it's not corrupt). You need to unzip the file and edit the Package info file as beemer did here http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=3860.0 then re-zip and try and upload through the package manager.

You don't install the RC2 update via the package manager. You upload all the files and run the update installer file.

Okay muttly I did that already with the tp one but I'm trying to upgrade to 1.1RC2 so I can get tp error code not showing up. I'll try IchBin's suggestion.

Sorry, i was thinking of the TP file not the update!  ::)

Hehe mate I appreciate the help though! Still waiting for my slow ftp to replace files..

Sorry, the copyright must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is using an ILLEGAL copy of SMF! When I tried to replace files in ftp..

How do you do this? Where is this main SM directory? Is it ftp or in admin section? I'd appreciate any help.

I think that SM is SimpleMachine in this case. So it should be the forum

I used PuTTy to access my server and run the program from root. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
(in your SimpleMachine main folder)
your accessing a remote server or on a home machine?

All you need to do is put that file in the same place that you see your Sources & Themes folder. Then point your browser to the address so that it will access that file and run it. Something like http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/install.php

So, while I napped, we decided to do a manual install?

I'm accessing from a remote server, I didn't know you could actually install things on ftp. I opened the "1139149106manual_tp_install" file in my directory and it came up with a screen saying 'TinyPortalÂÃ,´s table structure is now installed/updated.' I don't know if that means it worked or not.. I'm doing the coding thing but it's so tedious. You have anything where I can just copy and paste the index, I haven't installed anything in smf, this is brand new install. I tried before and got syntax errors..

Jeez AHHHH!!!!!!  :-\

Well I didn't know how to do the 1.1RC2 download.. you abandoned me so I swayed.. j/k

Oh okay, so I think step 2 worked. Just need to do coding without syntax errors..

If it is a fresh install, I am not sure why we're doing manual. It should have been simpler to have uploaded to your package directory, then installed with the package manager. You shouldn't have to do manual installs until you have a couple of mods already done.

I get about 4 hours of sleep per day - if I didn't knock off when I did, you certainly wouldn't want me helping you install anything....

Have you suceeded in upgrading to SMF 1.1 RC1 yet?

I know it's frustrating but it worked for me in the end.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!! MUTTLY, G6, BEEMER, TWINX2DAD, ICHBIN!!!!!!!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS SUPPORT FORUM I'D HAVE GIVEN UP!!!!!!!!!!  ;D So I took a mishmash of what everyone suggested and this is what I did, for complete beginners non-techies who've never installed a forum.

1. Instead of installing through fantastico cpanel, I firstly downloaded the 'SMF 1.1.rc2 install' .zip file from the simplemachines website http://www.simplemachines.org/download/ to my desktop. I made a newfolder with the name smf and extracted the .zip file into it.

2. I went to my ftp site, under public_html folder I made a new folder with the name smf and dragged the contents on the desktop smf folder into the ftp one. (This took a lot of time and sometimes it times out which you drag files individually etc. basically get all of that in there).

3. I used IchBin's instructions, they were so detailed! I lost the link though.. Where once everythings uploaded, open another browser and put www.yourforum.com/smf/install.php magically there comes a screen where you follow instructions. For username and password I used my ftp login but in terms of the bottom bit where you get sql all sorts of wierd thing, you go to your cpanel, open up mysql and there should be a button there to make new db (database), use that new database name to fill in details on bottom bit. (Look for IchBin's instructions in simplemachines website.. it was invaluable but I lost it).

4. Then you fill in details like your forum name, login name etc and then it should say everything was installed succesfully. Open another browser, it should be under www.yourforum.com/smf or whichever file you put it under (if there's errors in opening then that's because the files weren't uploaded properly onto ftp, so whichever file the error is referring to, you upload it and check make sure all files are there) login to admin section.

5. Download TP from this website, on the left hand side there's a module, downloads button or press this link http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=cat5 download the .zip file TinyPortal 0.8.6v to your desktop.

6. In your admin section of your forum, upload the .zip file and follow the instructions and it should be installed.

Voila! I LUV SIMPLE MACHINES!!!!!!!!!! THANK-YOU EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT!!!!!!!

:laugh: ;D ;)  :2funny:

Quote from: laetababy on April 05, 2006, 04:16:40 AM1. Instead of installing through fantastico cpanel

For some reason I originally missed this - it is possible your Fantastico install was either modified, out of date or corrupted.....

If I'd realized this, I'd have taken a bit different tack and you might have been up sooner.

Thank you laetababy for the instruktions on how you fixed it with "help" from your cpanel, this can be usefull for others who run into the same problem when it's not working through the whole installation. :)

 :tickedoff: BIG PROBLEM!!!

I CANNOT GET TP INSTALLED PROPERLY ON SMF 1.0.5 OR the new 1.0.7

I tried installing TP tonight, and I know its a problem because I successfully installed a new version of TP on a new site on 1.0.6 just this week!


NOw I tried installing on 2 new websites with SMF 1.0.7 and NOTHING WORKS.  I have tried modifying the XML-Info file as suggested.  I have tried manual installs, I have tried praying to the volcano gods and sacrifcing a LAMB.  I have tried banging my head against the screen, I have tried voodoo magic.

O0 NOTHING WORKS.  None of the suggestions here work for me.

I make sure TP THemes are installed before hand so I can see the new changes, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling on a FRESH SMF Install 1.0.5.

I have changed permissions like a mad man, and I have about lost my mind tonight  :uglystupid2: :uglystupid2:



:-\ SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.  I need a stable solution.  I have 2 fresh installs of SMF 1.0.7 just waiting for a fresh attempt.

Have you tried 1.1 RC2?

No.  Is that what u suggest? And is it better?

Don't install themes until you have TP installed successfully.

Are you sure SMF is installed correctly? Check the forum error log.

It would help if you described the errors or problems you are having.

Sources/Load.php error

Trust me Ive installed TP 3 times b4.  Its all by the numbers. No errors b4 hand.  When I do like I always have it comes up broken.  One error after the next and I suspect its the new SMF update 1.0.7

You had said 1.05 earlier. Someting is different, server changes ??Look for something simple. It usually is. ;)

Curious about 1.07...Are you doing the update before you install TP? If so, try doing the 1.07 update afterwards. Bloc may not have updated the install package.

I tried installing TP on 1.0.5 and also 1.0.7

Ive tried every combination here.  Nothing works.  Nothing. >_<

Something has changed, ie; server config, different server, corrupt files, installing TP on a forum with mods already installed....

The one error you have mentioned, do you see this in the package manager during install or the the error log?

Also, this error is is usually associated permissions.

If you can provide more info it will be easier to help.

Ive gone out of the way to set all permissions to 777 before installing TP and also AFTER installing TP.  Neither worked.

No error messages during install.  I go to apply the TP Theme after, and it loads, but when I go to TP Admin, nothing happens.

Where did you get this error? "Sources/Load.php error"

At the bottom of the screen @ the footer. 

stigmartyr...I stand by my earlier post of possible issues.

I know you are frustrated but there is always a solution and it is usually simple. :)

You could remove the install completely including dropping the tables and either install 1.06 and try installing TP, or install 1.1rc2 and then TP.

If you have been able to install SMF and TP on the same server and the config has not been changed then I expect either one will work.

I tried installing 1.1rc2 and it asks for SQL password.  I enter : YES and it tells me its no good  :o

Isnt YES the default for Fantastico installs?  SO neways yea.. that didnt work either.

Ill pull more hair out in the morning fellas.  Thanks for staying up late!  Ill come nag u in teh A.M. :P

Oh and BTW, installing 1.0.6 is NOT possible.  I can install only 1.0.5 then it provides ONLY the 1.0.7 upgrade.  Ive tried installs on both .5 and .7 to no avail.


The only difference between tonight and a few days ago when I did www.Outpost-Host.us/faq is the new update to 1.0.7

I think its FUBAR

I tried installing 1.1rc2 and it asks for SQL password.  I enter : YES and it tells me its no good  :o

Isnt YES the default for Fantastico installs?  SO neways yea.. that didnt work either.

Bingo....Don't use Fantastico! Causes more problems than .....!

Use FTP, you will have fewer problems.

Ok tried FTP all the files, and then run the install.php I get the same prompts.  Dead in teh water.  Ok serious now.  Bed time :P  I mean it!  hehe


*peeks back in*

stigmartyr

PM me some details and I will be happy to take a look for you

You got it! THX ;) PM sent, but Im itching to mess with it again....

Ook I slapped it around some and figured out how to at least get TP working.. limping anyways...  I noticed that when I did the package install, lots of files were missing I kept getting these errors:

2: copy(/home/garrick/public_html/team/Themes/default/languages/TPortalAdmin.english.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied

So I went back in and manually added all the files that said permission denied (in fact there were no files).  Then I tried to change permissions on Themes/default/TP***.php files which came up bad, and was denied, so I copied over new ones, renamed them to .phpTEST instead changed permission, deleted the originals, and renamed the new ones back to .php

Clicked Proceed, and presto it works, well sorta.  The Theme has broken images I have to manually upload now, and I STILL HAVE NOT applied the TP Update files.


More to come soon.

Looks good, good job ..

Thanks to the effort and the responses....

But honestly... I don't have time to play with this.  It used to be fun and interesting awhile back, but now... unstable applications are nothing more than a thorn in my ass.

What happened to make sure things work before releasing them?

Does nobody do that anymore?

Regardles... this leads me to one final question.

Is this going to fixed or not in the next revision of TP / SMF... or is this long-winded thread of various patches going to be the "permanent work around"?

Thats what Im asking too.  Luckily my experience with installing helped.  Normally the install for SMF 1.0.5 or 1.0.6 works very well.  At the worst, you simply overwrite everything with the Manual Install and then run the manual_tp_install.php


In this case, SMF pushed out a patch 1.0.7 and for what ever reason, it caused permission errors with many of the files.

Hence that is the reason it's called beta. Because it's only for people who are willing to go through the hoops that are required while it's in beta, until it is stable.

I'd also like to point out that Bloc hasn't officially released TP for 1.0.7.... This is just something the users are doing in the mean time.

that's very nice...
in the 20+ years I have been doing development work, we have always had this perverse little habit of putting the word "BETA" at the end of our BETA release version #..

to me and most of the rest of the development world...

1.0.7 indicates a NON-beta release...

1.0.7 (BETA) would indicate a BETA release...

Quote from: stigmartyr on April 06, 2006, 06:56:25 PMYou simply overwrite everything with the Manual Install and then run the manual_tp_install.php

yea... i did that... man install runs fine...

tells me it installed, but it's nowhere to be found.

have you done the manual install of the database tables to? Or just the files for the portal into SMF ?

Grrr I should learn to leave well enough alone....I did the upgrade to the newer smf and it went down hill from there.

I have edited the xml, can get TP to load into smf but when I go to install it I get this error

Now I know I saw somthing like this in this thread but for the life of me I can't figure out what was the solution

both

My suggestion to fix: go to Package Manager.

APPLY MOD > PROCEED.


Look at the errors it gives you each time.  What I did was, carefully located each file in question, changed CMOD properties to '777' on each file, and would click 'Back' then 'Proceed' over and over until no errors showed up.

If it lists an error to a file that doesnt exist, like /Themes/default/english/TPAdmin***.php I actually had to find each file in the Tinyportal0_86.zip and manually copy it over.  They didnt get extracted by SMF properly somehow...

Again, all this started since 1.0.7 came out.

Thats the exact same thing another user here had. I helped him get it up and running, but i had to go with the manual install package, it didnt work any other way

I am working my way through that right now.  When will I learn hehe



Can't seem to locate this in Themes/default/index.template.php

<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" border="0" />';


Woo hoo got it working...now to get my old theme back in, and update the languages to have the extra stuff I put in.

Thanks again for your help

1.0.7 is not a beta release. It is production.

phocas, 1.0.7 is the stable SMF release. Bloc has not released TP 0.86 (beta) for 1.0.7. Not officially anyway...

OK  when I ask the question at the start I did not know it would go on for 10 pages. 
But this worked for me and the site is working great.

I am using
Mod Name Version   
1. SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update 1.0  Installed
2  helios multi tp theme

I made the changes to the package-info.xml in the the TinyPortal 0.8.6.zip file
the changes are:

find on Line 8
Code:

Quote<install for="1.0.5, 1.0.6">

and change to
Code:

Quote<install for="1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7">

find on line 17
Code:

Quote<uninstall for="1.0.5, 1.0.6">

And change to
Code:

Quote<uninstall for="1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7">

What I did is a find and replace.  I found 1.0.5, 1.0.6 and replaced it with 1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7 in this file.

Zip it back up and up loaded it back with my Package manager  clicked proceed it un packed Tp then I installed the package.  It went off without a hitch..

Well almost I did have to install a few missing icons.
tpmodule.gif - tpmodule2.gif - tpoptions.gif - tpgoto.gif and maybe 1 or 2 more but they can all be found in the rc2 helios tp theme
download here
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item82 (http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item82)

For all this to work, you must make sure that your first attempt to install TinyPortal 0.8.6 has been uninstalled and deleted in the SMF Package manager.

You must have a TP theme installed like helios multi tp for smf 1.0.6 or some other TP theme. 

This is the only thing I needed to do to get TinyPortal 0.8.6 to work with SMF 1.0.7

If anyone needs the TinyPortal 0.8.6.zip with the changes from above I have attached it. The ONLY changes I made are to the package-info file thats it.

Hope this helps

P.S.  I have no programing skills and I am this icon :uglystupid2:  so if I can do it anyone can.

Excellent advice Ich.  Remember everyone that you need to be sure your permissions for all folders and files are set to 777 before you proceed with the TP Install via package manager.  If not u will get errors.

The only part I did differently was that I removed 1.0.6 out of the package-info.xml file and just wrote 1.0.5, 1.0.7 because off a fresh SMF install there is no 1.0.6 mentioned anywhere.  But what ever works.

I never had to open up all the folders & files to the Apache environment. In fact, I have changed exactly zero permissions to run TP.

This is just about friggin weird, but I no longer care becuz it worx.

Here's my fix.

1)  Uninstall it all.
2)  Reinstall SMF ( i know... not everyone has that option, but i'm working from scratch)
3) Install TP...

... when I got the error, I did exactly as was indicated above... just hit "back", chmod 777 the directory it told me i couldn't write to and repeated (about 3 or 4 times)

Maybe what some are doing is what I made the mistake of doing, not RE-reading the error message, because each time it indicates a different directory (yea... i know... dum).

next... helios... ugh... cross your fingers

o... and helios went very well, except for the missing icons...

what's up with that?

there are still a couple of them that are MIA

... under TP Admin / Edit Blocks /

... where it says edit/delete/submit

what gif is that?  there's no way of telling.  properties only show
"http://phocas.net/forum/index.php?action=tpadmin;sa=blocks"

The image names is

config_sm.gif
delete.gif
TPsave.gif

And you have them in the attachment  :)

Danke!

This is look scweeeeeter & sweeter all the time... just gotta get a gallery plugged in now...

What type of error is this, peeps?

Seem to have found a post related to this, maybe I won't need additional help, heh.

Wait, nevermind...  The only solution to my problem above is manual install?  That's so tedious...

It isent really that difficult or hard to install manually.

If you dont manage to fix it, i can help you out with it. If so you can send me the ftp url, loggin and password in private PM here.  :)

Hello, Im new here, I must say, these are the best designs for forums I have ever ever seen. I want to add the tiny portal....is it best to do it manually instead of through the smf upload???

I want to use the apollo theme and add a header and additional links.

If you have the  SMF 1.0.7 installed, it seems like the best way of get tiny portal instaled is by manual install yes.
For some reason the packagemanager in SMF doesent really work all that well after the upgrade. But you can always try the manager first, and if you get any errors stop the install and go for the manual install instead. :)

can you direct me, this site is huge, as to the correct tp to download??

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item99

OMG......how long does that take?? It looks rather difficult...*pout*

That link is to the package for the install through packagemanager and not the manual install

It doesent take all that long, Bloc does it in 3-4 min and for me 15  - 20 min ;) But it isent all that hard.
Read through this thread http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=2481.0

In the bottom of the first post you have a textfile, that tells what code to put in and where :)

LOL..that would be because you are probably not a partial blonde and a complete dummy like me. I am the village idiot, so keep that in mind when I break my forum and come running to your for serious help and in tears.... *giggles* PHP and code simply hate me.

We will be here then :)

But im really not that good in the coding bits myselfe, it's really just copy and past where it says and you will be ok, Dont forget to run the database file through your browser after you made the upload of the files, and the copy/paste bit :)
, and i too live out in the country, but im not blond :D

Im scared, but Okay,..... will try it. LOL Thanks!

*pout* its not working, I give up, Im just too stupid to do this. Thanks for the info though. :)

TP and SMF 1.0.7 work fine
This post as the changes that need to be made if you want to do them yourself
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=3860.msg33485#msg33485

The file attached that has the changes made for 1.0.7
FILE for SMF 1.0.7 (http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3860.0;attach=2855)  just upload it and go.
There are also missing icons icons you will have to download.. You can find them in the other post..

This file does not open...?? Missing or corrupt?

Works ok for me, try this one instead through your package manager

Remove the _107 so it just say TinyPortal0_86.zip

Okay, will try this again later, have to run to the store, one more question, do I have to go back and install the updates for the security fix if I get this working???

and...when I did this the first time, in my packages/temp/  that is where the sources file was downloaded by smf.....is that wrong? can I delete that file??

you just replace the files from the install with the new ones in the security fix.

The tempfile you can erase yes, when you run the install it will overwrite what file you have there allready.

OMG..this rocks!!! I swear to God I am converting over my Phpbb forum to this! whoot!

Just one thing, I am missing buttons on the apollo theme? should I just copy them over?? 

The tools, upload, manage settings, manage blocks, manage downloads buttons?

Yes, thats exactly right, copy the images over to your themes, Just make sure you have the TP compatible themes now when you have TP installed, the SMF only themes dont work with tiny portal :)

yes, made that mistake.....but on the new TP theme, these images are missing from the folder...

the ones I mentioned....which I have from the other, but the little clip board in the admin is missing and some divider.gif??

Nope, I got it....okay, how weird is this..it installed all of the tp_gifs into the default, so I just copied what I needed that was missing and they are in there now. :)

*does a happy dance* this is the coolest forum and I've had forums for two years! So glad it is all working now!!!

Congratulations to your successfull TP install :)

Yes, its pretty but...

Im getting these errors in my admin section popping up... 11 pages of errors

8: Undefined index: theme_version
File: /forum/Sources/TPortalAdmin.php
Line: 62

there are bunches of them, all different..?? do you know what that means? should I post this elsewhere?

Replace the TPortalAdmin.php file and see if the errors still show up

Or if you havent allready, Replace the files with the UPDATE pack from the downloadsection

Hmm, I did...I thought, was it updated again??? do you mean the security update?

No, there is a update pack for TP, If you havent used that, i sugest you download that and just replace the files through your FTP

can you tell me where it is??? I mean, I just updated this...http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=4440.0 (http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=4440.0) and Im not finding an update??

 >:(

now i get this error:

Quote2: opendir(/home/*/public_html/smf/Packages/temp/Themes): failed to open dir: No such file or directory
File: /home/8/public_html/smf/Sources/Subs-Package.php

ps. i renamed the folder babylon to classic in the mod. >:D

You cant rename anything from the install package, that way it wont process the right dirs for the install.

You have to go the manuall install way to get this working.

This is not the 1.1rc2 support forum, this is for 1.0.7....

Also, you are allready receive help with this in your other thread  ;)

Thanks G6 Mwahz hunny !! And everyone else :)

I just installed TP and recieved this message
