tinyportal installing for smf

[CampCounselor]

i have tinyportal or would like to use it on my smf 1.1.1 forum.  it says that it fails two files.  i install it and try it (doing all this through the package manager) and nothing changes. it says it installs and what not but i get no tinyportal information.  any help would be great.

thanks

If the install fails on the file test it means that the instalation file cannot find the code it is looking for, probably because it has been changed by another mod. Tiny Portal is a very complex mod that is best installed as the first mod after the instalation of SMF.

You didn't say what files failed, but possibly one was index.php or index.template.php. If a file fails on the install you will need to make the file modifications manually.

Another reason you cannot see TP is that you are not viewing in the SMF default theme. TP and most other mods install into the default theme only, if you are using one of the themes from Bloc Zone there is probably a TP version available, if not you will not be able to use that theme without it being converted.

i have used the default theme. i have other mods installed that affected the files that are failing. how do i do it manually.

Please read in the installations board we have, we dont have any package released that will go with SMF 1.1.1 yet.
You have posts made about how to solve this in the installations board.

Actually, This has happened to me.
I think someone needs to update the TP_097.zip file.
Anyway.
To do it manually...
1. Download the zip I provided (THESE FILES CANNOT BE UPLOADED via PACKAGE MANAGER. THEY ARE THE FEW FILES NEEDED FOR THE MANUAL INSTALLATION)
2. Unzip it.
3. Open up the sources in it, upload them over the sources files
4. Open up the themes in it, upload them over the themes files
5. Upload index.php and SSI.php over the forum root files
---Thats It---
(next time look in the Installations board)

It will not be displayed under the mods but it is easier then installing it through the package manager once you know it
