TP105: Box and theme trouble!

[misjka]

Actually, it's the TP 0.x version of the Core theme (the one I had before upgrading to 1.x, that is)... Should I use the SMF Core instead?

Offcourse, ALWAYS ONLY CORE theme when you install things to your forum, everything have to work in that theme first as the entire platfrom are based on Core theme as default.

[misjka]

OK...  I didn't find it totally clear in the updating news from Bloc.

SO, that is the bottom line then: Remove all the TP themes and upload fresh SMF default theme, to be sure to get the TP1 to work? If that's the case, maybe the updating news should emphasize on that somewhat more?

Thanks, G6, I'll have a go on this issue later tonight !

Should be a known common sens by now that all mods install to Default Core only, we have it written everywhere and also, SMF has the same written all over.

And just to make it 100% bullitproof, your using SMF 1.1.4 right ? and not SMF2 as nothing from this site will work with SMF2 at all.

I have that stated in my signature.

Hehe, easy for you to say who literally live here  ... I visit here as seldom as possible, on the other hand, busy in getting my forums productive !

Yep, it's 1.1.4 I'm using... just as my footer says .

[G6Cad]

Live is a big word hahaha,  but the basic guidelines of both this site and most of all SMF has it in several places.

Now you know though, and hopefully you will get your forum and portal up now  :up:

OK, thought I would just leave a note about what happened next...

I uninstalled TP, downloaded a fresh SMF default theme and uploaded it to the webhost after I had wiped out the default theme folder on the host, and finally installed TP105 once again... But the stubbornly upshrink/expand behaviour remained  ...

So I made up my mind to revert the TP installation by restoring a backup I made last Friday, so now I'm happily back to 098 again  ... And I think I'll remain so for a while, since I simply don't have the time to waste on upgrading troubles right now. And frankly, and that is NOT a critique in any persons direction at all (since I know everyone here does their best to make it all work): As far as I could see, there weren't many new features... For sure the "infrastructure" of TP seemed to be developed further, and I guess quite a few "bugs" were corrected, but real features I think were pretty few. E.g. I was kind of disappointed that I couldn't find a Link Manager  ...

So, I'll return to this thread some time in the future as I feel the time is right for an upgrade. Til then, I'll do with the 098 .

I guess is that you really didnt look, there are a ton of new features in TP. mostly the article section, but yes, it's a beta and beta 1 release so expect errors.

Link, Teampage and so on will be modules that are in the works, Bloc have separated a lot of functions to a module section with separated modules. Partly to keep TP tiny but also to make the choises a lot more for how members want to use their sites and portals.

[misjka]

Yes, I noticed e.g. the article features (permissions etc) and the module layout (which I referenced to as "infrastructure"). What I meant, though, was that I do acknowledge that something big is happening, but it's still on its way, so to speak.

But as a site admin I don't consider the upgrade from 098 as worthwhile. Not yet, that is. But if some more modules will be included in the official release, that might come a change of mind .
