Fresh Install of SMF 1.14 and TP 1.05 Error

[bas123]

All is well... I uploaded TP and am busy configuring. WOW, and then I have to teach it to someone else.

A couple of glitches... I added the TPAdvShout Mod (I've noticed empty img placeholders on other's sites) but the expand and collapse images were missing. The program was looking in a subfolder of my 'Theme/blabla/images/tinyportal' folder which didn't exist... so I created it and found the images at http://web.sl-mania.com/Themes/default/images/tinyportal/ hope you guys don't mind).

Another is that In the shoutbox module in admin under Adv-Shoutbox Block Settings, the option for "compact" or "expanded" and height & width do not seem to work. I wonder if that option only works in a top or bottom panel!!!

Another biggie, I was unable to deactivate the SMF welcome which was showing up (along with the TP welcome) on the front page.

I removed the "General" Board and then recreated it, which made it go away, but then I am unable to get ANY blocks to show up there... (I created an "article" and placed it in the top panel & set it for front page only)


Any and all thoughts are welcome...

If you change the structure and start adding things of your own to the files, they will stop working.
Instead, you SHOULD have checked why the file were missing, if one file or folder were missing, there are probably more thats missing cause of file and folderpermission settings on the server that prevent them from getting added correctly

To solve it, you have to manually follow the install steps, upload the files from the TP package manually, make the edits to the SMF files according to the modinstruction we have in the doc section of this site. and then last add the database tables manually from the browser ( yoursiteurl/manual_tp_install.php )

Simply put, you need to make sure the files, folders, and code are added correctly, if they are not, you have to manually install TP

I used SMF Admin functions to remove a Board. This is standard procedure.

Anyone administering a forum should be able to remove a board without it affecting the program's functions or having to do any followup in a module like TP .

I have modified NO code that has anything to do with TP functions, only display properties and CSS variables (in the index template).
