Test Failed errors - please help...

Thanks gang.   Seems doable - a bit of time, but nothing major.  Over writing files is a snap!  Almost too easy some would say...

[sportsguy]

Download the SMF full install package, extract the files, take out the install.php from the package and upload the rest of the files through FTP.
That will bring all fresh files to your forum.
(also the loss of any mod installed)
Set the forum to use the Default CORE theme (thats the SMF default)

Uninstall all the other themes you have,just leave Babylon, Core and Classic left.
Then remove all the themes through FTP and leave the same listed Default, Babylon and Classic.

When you have done this, install TP through the package manager, and then the other mods you had and still want to have. (you will NOT loose any data in the DB as this will leave the DB alone )

Now when you have all this set up you install the TP versions of the themes you want to have on your site.

OK, so I downloaded the full install of 1.1.2 again - there is no theme in it labeled CORE.

There is only:

Babylon
Classic
Default

I'm game to over write things if needed, but unless one of the folders is missing files, I'm not sure there's a point...

The default theme is the forum core default.  I believe that the one you are looking for.

OK - that's just confusing to me, because...

Its labeled the default theme. 

[sportsguy]

I think I get it now - it's labeled as Default, but thought of as "the core theme"...

OK, so yeah, that's in there - the one I have actually has more file sin it that the one I just downloaded, and my ftp keeps failing when trying to upload them again to set them up as a backup.

I have to be honest - I'm questioning if TP is even worth all this effort.  I'd really expect something like this to be a much smoother run-through...

But, I'll keep giving it a try to see if I can make it work - mostly because the gent who stepped up to do some custom coding is using TP as a base to accomplish what I want.

[sportsguy]

So, is the default theme, the default theme, or is Babylon the default theme?

[IchBin]

default theme is the default. Babylon was the default theme in the SMF 1.0.x versions.

After you get it installed you will have no questions about was it worth.   Its 100% worth it IMHO

...and so the tick is correct!

I over wrote more files than needed, but it's working.

Now I have the oddness of this"

IE shows the default theme to me
FF shows the babylon theme to me

Setting in Admin is for the default.

Cleared my cache several times, so I have no clue why my FF is showing one theme and IE another...LOL

Might it be a personal setting for me through TP that I simply haven't stumbled over to reset for myself? (I know with TP you can select different skins via boxes - I'm not seeing any live, but still...)

I must go read some docs now.

Thanks gang.   Very much appreciated!
