TinyPortal

If you are experiencing problems during the normal installation of TinyPortal, these extra files are provided to help getting TP installed anyway.

Basically, 3 things must be done for TP to work:

• database tables installed
• TinyPortal specific files uploaded to correct folders
• 4 SMF files must be modified

The normal package takes care of all three, but if you must do it manually, do them in the this order.
1.) upload tp_install_manual.php to your forum root folder and run it. It will just create tables, nothing else.

2.) Upload all TP files to the correct locations. The file TP074_filesonly.zip contains them, in the right folders too.

3.) run the TP074_modonly.zip through package manager. this will change 4 SMF files: index.template.php, Load.php , Errors.php and index.php. Or - If package manager don't work, you need to:

(4.)) manually change these 4 files with the requires changes. The TP_mod-instructions.rtf show these changes.

If all these are done, running the forum should go well, with TinyPortal installed correctly.

Perfect :-)

Worked flawless. Weird thing is I checked all 4 files you mentioned in the instructions but all everything was okay already.

just to be sure, here's what i did so far....

• Fresh install of RC1 on an excisting database  - no problem
• Try to install 074 with package manager - error "corrupt file"
• Uploaded everything in TP074_files_only in the right folders  - nothing changed
• Followed the instructions above and no problem since then

lemme fiddle a bit wif it now ;)

No problems here - uploaded all the files manually earlier and made appropriate changes, so after running the install file, I had absolutely no problems. My site is back up and running now (DNS transfer only took a few hours, oddly enough), so I'm quite pleased :)

Manual install went great.No problems at all. 

error 500: Internal Server Error

Everything appeared to go OK (once I realised that I should use the install_manual and not the one in the files only zip) but when I tried to reload the forum, following the mod zip via Package Manager, I got the above.

I've now overwritten the modified SMF files and the forum loads again. I've got my day job to go to now, I'll have to try the manual SMF file modifications this evening.

One thing I dont understand ...

In the folder  TP_074_files_only there is a file tp-install074.php what goes in the root..
You don't say a thing about running that file..  do we have to or is it a "left over" ?

Still getting that error,
I've modded each file as required.
I've verified each file syntax is OK for PHP 4.4
Renamed the existing files, then uploaded the modded SMF files.

The databse tables is also done? the prefix is set? ( if you sue another than tportal_) and all TP files uploaded?

The second file appeared to work, but I've just checked in phpMyAdmin and they have been created as 'tportal_' not what I put in the box, 'sgrportal_'

Quoteand all TP files uploaded?

Yup, and the prefixes set in all but the TPdlmanager file.

I'll run a rename on the tportal_ prefixes and reload the modified index file.

OK, I've renamed the TP files but not as above, when I looked at the tables list in phpMyAdmin I realised that you cannot use exactly the same table prefixes. SMF has a settings table and so does TP. So I added my prefix to the TP prefix. They are now sgrportal_ and sgrportal_tportal_ so that there is no problem with the settings tables. I've also changed the prefix in the three source files, reloaded them  and reloaded the modified index file and Robert is your mothers brother  ;D I have TP in RC1

I did not see TP v.0.7.4.b on your site???


http://nokonium.co.uk/sgr/ (SMF 1.1RC1, TinyPortal v.0.7.4b)

Maybe it is just being shy because it is a virgin forum. It is there, I only got it installed this morning and I haven't done anything to it yet.

Can I test it .. ??    ..it's the same as mine and I could compare..please?

Where is the TP-Admin ? *gg*

I have install manuall the TP, but no TPAdmin ;D

Make sure you are using a theme that supports TinyPortal. In order for you to see the TP addition to your site you will need to install a TP theme.

thanks ;D

Well and where can I download the german languagfiles ? or are in work ?  :D

@Bloc: Very good work ;D Thanks for this Update ;D

Language files are close to release by another member.

Sorry I missed this earlier and I've been fiddling and altering templates  ;D

Feel free to click around on either of my test sites.

I'm not sure what it is about my setup, but now everytime I try to install TP on my main site it does not upload the files right. 0 kb's on all of the tp files....
I did a little testing of my own on the test servers that I setup for you Bloc. It appears to work perfectly fine on SMF 1.0.5 stable, and SMF beta 1.3. So I changed the beta 1.3 server to SMF 1.1 RC1. Went to intall it on the board and thats when I had the same problem as before. Seems it only affects RC1 for me.

Same here ICH

When u say run it what do u mean exactly?
Thnx.

PS: I experience problems with normal install. I get a blank page although TP informed me for a successful installation

I just Run it this way....
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/tp_install_manual.php

You run the file by pointing to it in your browser like crip shows. Sounds like you have the same problem that Ray and I are having Fugi. After it installs and you get a blank page, upload the files through an FTP program and it should fix everything. Bloc has a package that has the files already in the folders for your convenience. :)

Yea if the install went OK threw the package manager and no errors and then after words you get a blank screen -- just copy the files back over -- you do not have to do or run anything else. and tp will work

Thnx u all guys.
Now it's running again!

The problem is no more

I did the manual upgrade also and am wondering the same thing.
Mark

I experience problems with normal install on my local server , so I have uploaded all the files manually and made appropriate changes, so after running the install file, I had absolutely no problems.

Thanks Bloc:-)

Hi

No doubt I have made a mistake somewhere but can't get it to work on a fresh install (test site). I have the following error appearing at the bottom of the forum :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tportal_version() in /home/sites/quake-4.org/public_html/fora/Sources/Load.php(1598) : eval()'d code on line 445

I have also tried making the manual modifications and using those files but I get a parse error.

Any ideas greatfully received.

the address of this test forum is: http://www.quake-4.org/fora/index.php

Also cant access TP admin? possibly part of the same problem.

Have you checked that your files are all there, and that they aren't corrupted?  Did you try the manual install with the install.php file? Give us a few more details please? What version of SMF and TP are you using? Which theme?

Hi

Thanks for the help.

I have checked and can find no files missing. Whether they are corrupted? Not sure what you mean I can't check all the coding. I tried manual install as well and now I cant uninstall it.  (It is a test board so I may delete the whole lot and start again if you have no suggestions but if others get the same problem when they have a live board and we don't know the reason it may be a problem).

The version is SMF 1.1 RC1
The theme is Helios

I appreciate your help  :)

To un-install, you simply upload the SMF 1.1 RC1 update version again and run "upgrade.php" just in case. It will eradicate everything TP has modified.

But to me it sounds like the files is zero in size. Sometimes that happen - thats what the files-only zip is for, just upload that and overwrite what you have . that will make sure they are correct.

on a Fresh install of 1.1 rc1 I've  tried to install from the package manager and as expected, i got the error mentioned in the post about a bug in RC1  ( no forum showing, blank screen)  so i did upload the files manually and then the forum came back with tiny portal installed : ) .    ( default theme)

It took 5 minutes to read in here and less than 3 minutes to install.  Now I'll go play with my new toy :)

I just cant make it work.
Tried several times now.
I cant use the package mannegerm since my host runs his servers in SAFE MODE.
And i dont understand ANYTHING in the .rtf file..
I'm using black22 SMF 1.0.5 right now.. TP 0.7.5

Can anyone help me?
Dont know, if this is the right topic, but i just want help ;D

-SÃÆ'Ã,¸ren from Denmark

If you can follow the instructions for at least Errors.php, Load.php and index.php files..then you will have a working TP - as long as you install a TP-enabled Black22 for example, as the main theme.

Supplying already modded source files is I am afraid against SMF rules - but those 3 files only have 1-3 modifications, making them easier to "mod" manually then index.template which can be bewildering...

Is there a list for all TP happy themes? I been gone awhile you know, its gonna take sometime to read all the stuff I missed  :coolsmiley:

All my themes are in separate sub-boards..and there are a few others as well in that board:

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?board=31.0

o :P
lemme go hunt
i be back with what i find
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ummmmm
question:
can the header deal that says 'the Bloc Zone' in mercury be changed or deleted?
im trying to find the easiest one to mess with since i will be needed to change colors and all that
(remember how it all didnt work for me last time hehe)

Mercury will just take on the title of your forum. :)

kk

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/hari/web/smftest/SSI.php on line 738

I think it maybe because I have Googlebot & Spiders mod installed.. I looked at SSI.php line 738... here are some of the lines which I feel is causing the error.


if (!empty($return['users']))
$return['users'][array_pop(array_keys($return['users']))]['is_last'] = true;
$return['num_users'] = count($return['users']) + $return['hidden'];
$return['total_users'] = $return['num_users'] + $return['guests'] + ($modSettings['ob_googlebot_count_most_online'] ? $return['num_spiders'] : 0);

if ($output_method != 'echo')
return $return;


I think this may help.

Wonderful!!!!! It works. Thanks. Now all I have to do is modify the theme files, and flush out some things to make it fit into my forum... Thanks a lot!!!!

weird  :o

can't find some lines needed too change manually  :idiot2:

D thruw i  actually  how come ?

okee updated forum to 1.1 did a manual install everything went okay.. butt now i cant see my index page ? it's empty ????

You may need to upload all the files again. Some 1.1 RC1 installations are not uploading the files properly. IF you take a close look you will probably see files that have 0kb in size. You can get the files from this thread and then all you need to do is upload them and replace the bad ones.
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=927.0

Just to make sure TP is installed properly add this to your link. http://www.domain.com/smf/index.php?action=tpadmin

Can someone post a fix for TP 0.75 that can work with SMF 1.1 RC2?  I cannot install TP 75 because i have SMF 1.1 RC2 or it wont let me install it.

:(

poor us  :2funny:
