Actually I looked at his site later last night and the alienation theme was working correctly so that problem seems to be solved.

So, I take this to be a whole new question... right fat4l 3rror???

With that in mind, I for one am not going to help you any more until you stop playing games and post your question in a coherent manner so that we can understand what you are asking.

I can reword it one more time.

I read the Modding Instructions on how to install a mod on a TP theme. When I opened up the index.template for the TP THEME it said "look for this line of text" and even when it hit CTRL+F to find it, It says the text could not be found. I

If the text isnt there. How do I replace it?

fat4l 3rror, below is a quote of a message that I sometime post in response to questions about file edits... it's being posted now mainly because of the link to the NotePad++ editor.
You haven't said which one you use, but if you don't have a good one you should get one because it makes all of the edits lots easier. NotePad++ is free and works with many of the coding languages.
It's the one I use because to me the "find/search" feature works so good.

As for doing the edits and finding the lines of code...as you may know, some files have names that are similar so the first thing is to be very careful to look at the correct file.
And trust me, the instructions are right, you just have to take your time and read carefully. 

Doing a manual install of TinyPortal is easy to do, you just need to follow the directions found in the Manual Install File Modifications Guide.
Take your time and read carefully as you go and it will work well.


Here's how to safely do file edits:
FileZilla
One of the better ftp utilities and it's free.
It's the only one I use.

And you'll need a good editor, here is a nice free one:
Notepad++

Any time you do anything to your forum there is one thing that you should make part of your routine, like:

Backup... Backup... Backup!

When editing a file I generally do this;
Make a temp folder on my desktop...
Open the site with the FileZilla FTP utility...
Download a copy of the file in question and place it in the temp folder...
Then download a fresh copy into my editor and edit away...
Go back to the site and rename the existing online copy of the file to something else, like, old_filename.php...
Then upload the edited version of the file.
When doing several files I wait until all of them have been edited so that they can all be uploaded at the same time.

If everything is OK then I'm finished.
If its all messed up I just delete the bad file that was uploaded, rename the good one to the correct file name and the forum is back to normal.

This is a common issue, since themes can be very different in how they are coded. You will need to look at the code and decide where things should go, if the exact line(s) isn't there.
