18. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed

Use the package parser and make the edits manually

http://www.smfhelper.info/forum/package.php5

I personally had that problem too, but it works without making the edit to the index.template.php

That seems to just make a button at the top of your forum, which you wouldn't need with this block :up:

Oh and yep, no playing Chess at my site without registration 

[Jakki]

Never understood how to use that thing.

[Lord Anubis]

It is easy, upload a package to it and it tells you which files to edit and what to edit the files with

[Jakki]

Did all the parsing and now my php's files are messed up and I can't get them back..LOL

[Lord Anubis]

Huh...Did you save a copy before editing, I always keep a copy...Well what you can do is most files create another with a ~ at the end, you can take off the ~ and restore your files

But whenever installing a mod, especially if you do the code yourself....SAVE AN ORIGINAL COPY

Also, remember to install mods using the default theme...What I am guessing is you only edited the index.template.php

Hopefully this wasn't for the default

SMF creates a backup when installing any new mod via the package manager.

/ public_html / Packages / backups / before_newmod.tar.gz

You can download the file, extract and upload the contents back to your server.
