Installing TP 75 on SMF 1.1 RC2

[kildjean]

Ok this is what I have done:

1. I installed SMF on my host, normal install all went well.
2. I copied the tp_install_manual.php file (or however is written), the one in tp 75
3. I "ran" the php file and it created the tables on my smf db.
4. I went into the packages part on smf and I tried to upload the tp 75 files only, when I did this, I got an error that the files were corrupted or didnt work.
5. I uploaded successfully the TP 75 full package.
6. When I go to install the TinyPortal 75 by clicking Apply Mod I get the following error:

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

So I am stuck.  I need TP in order to use a theme I want to use which is made for TP.  Can someone explain to me on a moron-proof base how I get to do this?  Ichbin has been helping me but I dont want to burden him with all this.  so if there is anymore peeps interested in helping me i'd appreciate it.

I am not new to forums, just to SMF and TP itself.  Ive been away from coding since im moviong from one country to another and been busy with other things, but i would like to get this done...

thanks;

Have you tried uploading the TP files with an FTP program? That is the best way to do it IMO.

No I have not tried... where do this files go? like right onthe root of the forums?

Yes you just upload each folder into the root of your SMF.

ok I uploaded them all

Now what?

If you ran the install.php file and uploaded all the Files TP should be installed. Although, I'm not so sure it will work on RC2 as stated before.

The files are uploaded but TP is not working still.  I have not uploaded any modified files yet because im having trouble fixing some of them.  Can I e-mail you a file with the ones im having trouble fixing maybe you can fix em for me?

ok like for example:

<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" border="0" />';

When I look for this file, i cannot file the entire line in index.template.php, so i cannot change it.

another example is this other line:

', $context['common_stats']['total_posts'], ' ', $txt[95], ' ', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], ' ', $txt[64], ' ', $txt[525], ' <span style="white-space: nowrap;">', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], ' ', $txt[19], '</span>

                     ', $txt[656], ': ', $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'], '
                  </div>
               </div>';

This line i just cannot find it anywhere...

I guess ill just take a break of all this til the next beta release gets "released" and try this  again... tired of this not working...

try boardIndex.template.php, round about line 15 (this seems to be just about the same thing as what you posted (or at least it produces a similar result).

A lot of code in SMF changed between  version 1.1 RC1 and 1.1 RC2, so for changes to actual files, you will end up having to search around a bit, and not always in the same files that the ver 0.75 mod file tells you to.

TinyPortal ver 0.8, due to be released any time now, will actually install into 1.1 RC2, or at least it is supposed to...
