TinyPortal v0.8.6

[fugi]

I have the 0.75. vesrion of TP installed under SMF 1.1RC1.
This week I'll upgrade both.
What do you suggest doing first, the TP upgrade or the SMF?

[G6Cad]

Do the SMF first and then TP
Note that the themes from 1.1rc1 and 1.1rc2 are very diffrent, so if you have any other themes installed, remove them before the uppgrade

And a request:
I saw that you made the blocks collapsable, great!
If u make also their position user defined (from profile perhaps) you would be our hero!

@g6cat: Thanks for immediate reply

OK I have complete control over a Linux server that is failing on a fresh install of SMF 1.1RC2 when attempting to install TP With the package manager. First failure has to do with the existence of a Temp directory in the package directory. What do I need to change to fix this? all files are 777 and ftp can create directories  (manually verified)

add the errors here that will help everyone to figure out what is goign on...

You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable! 

which isnt true I discovered reading the previous 36 pages that a temp directory needs to be created in packages if I manually create it I get a further the package claims to install and then and I egt the follwoing

10.     Execute Modification     ./Sources/Subs.php     Test successful
11.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php    Test successful
12.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/Security.php    Test successful

looking good hit the button to install and get this

    * Upshrink table exists
    * Settings table exists
          o Reset theme changer
          o Updated version to 086
    * Blocks table exists
    * Variables table exists
    * Articles table exists
    * Dlmanager table exists

TinyPortalÂÃ,´s table structure is now installed/updated.
Please restart your forum to see the changes.

hit restart and get this

NOte I also tried cleaning out the DB to no avail

It seems the actual files were not uploaded. The data table creation went well, but file unpacking(from TP archive) did not. If you after the install upload the files through ftp - does it work then?

Needs a manual install...4 sure.

[pjr]

I am certain I could manual install the mod but Im trying to get the server set up so other can do installs who are not quite as good as me 

Bloc that makes sense, so far the temp directory was not created automaticaly for some reason and then the extract is stopping both kinsd of sound liek persions issues but all files and directories are set to 777

the temp directory contains the following files

Code Select Expand

$auto_0.txt              readme.txt                tinyportal071-080-11.mod  tinyportal080-11rc1.mod  tinyportal083-085-11rc.mod
TP_mod-instructions.txt  tinyportal065-080-11.mod  tinyportal071-080.mod     tinyportal080-11rc2.mod  tinyportal083-085.mod
package-info.xml         tinyportal065-080.mod     tinyportal080-11.mod      tinyportal080.mod        tp_install.php

the above files are all owned by apache and are 666

perhaps I need to change the server so that files it creates are set with different properities?

Tried to upgrade from 0.7.5 to 0.8.6.
I got this error

Fatal error: packageinstall(): Failed opening required '/home/thmmygr/public_html/smf/Packages/temp/./tp_install.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/thmmygr/public_html/smf/Sources/Packages.php on line 534

When the testing installation was done I got all successful,
but on the most bottom of the page (even below SMF RC2 description)a line appeared
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tportal_version() in /home/thmmygr/public_html/smf/Sources/Load.php(1607) : eval()'d code on line 523

Any ideas?
