omg help plz , i screwed something up

[zuma]

TP mods the Babylon theme so you better re-install it for a smooth install. If those files aren't 777, TP can't mod them.

I've gotta go out for a few hours now, but I'm sure someone else will be able to help. Good luck with it. Zuma

That's OK, just make sure all the files and directories are 777 and go ahead and try and install 0.97.

Well since u already replaced the files, you might as well go ahead and try and see if the errors for the application go away or not.

also the "edit" icons are missing and the "red x's" that means the edit icon is midding are showing in weird places on the page.

1) The babylon theme is no problem if its missing.  TP simply won't update it since it is not there.  It will still update the CORE theme and Classic theme.

2) Always make sure you are in the DEFAULT CORE theme whenever installing/uninstalling any mod (TP is a mod, so that means TP as well!).

3) If you get files that say Test Failed it means that the installer could not find the "search" code specified to know where to put in the modification for that file.  In otherwords, TP couldn't find something it was searching for in the file (probably due to some other mod adding or removing information that TP was looking for).  This doesn't mean you are stuck, it simply means you will need to do some manual editing of the file that Failed.  You will need to manually find what TP (or any other mod you install that gives you Test Failed on various files) was looking for and put the code TP wanted to insert or change where you find it.

This means that the code might look slightly different (which is why the installer couldn't find it on its own and gave you the Test Failed message in the first place) so you will need to figure out where that changed code is so you can then make the modification manually to it that TP would have done automatically had the code been in its original state.  Sometimes its as simple as some mod added a remarked line (// remarks.. blah blah) and maybe inserted some code to do its own thing, but the SMF original code might not have been changed itself.  But since we are looking for a series of lines of code to make sure we are finding the right place, it throws off the search because we don't find an exact match.

There will be a bit of editing to get it all straightened out.  This is because typically anytime you update SMF, you should uninstall your mods first, update SMF, then reinstall your mods starting with the most complex (in this case TP).  Your database stays intact when uninstalling mods, so as soon as your mods are reinstalled, all the data is still there and accessable.

You might be able to get away without doing that if you only have 1 or 2 small mods installed, but the more mods you have installed, the less likely it will go smoothly unless you uninstall them, upgrade SMF, then reinstall them.
