TinyPortal v0.8.6

[Jeff]

okay, actually my server guys are working on the configuration to allow this to work.

In the meanwhile, I managed to mess up another testbed by upgrading to SMF 1.1 RC2 while still using a TP theme. 

Now upon visiting it, all I get is:
Mercury /
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tportal_version() in /home/jeff/www/cbr600rr.com/htdocs/forum/Themes/mercury_tp/index.template.php on line 346

any way to fix this one??

Yes, just add ?theme=1 to the string and install TP again before using mercury_TP again. As admin you should be able to do a index.php?theme=1 even if you don't allow other themes to be selected.

That was far from fun...  SMF 1.1 RC2 went off as advertised, but we spent almost 10 hours upgrading 1 test bed and 3 other TP forums.

One of the forums (on a different server), I could not chown the files on it, so I ended up doing it manually.  the manual install concerns me as there were 2 sections in index.template.php which I could not find...  I checked the successful installs and did not see them there either.  In any event, it did work, but I'm concerned that next time I won't be able to use the pkg manager either since things are so screwed up now.

If anyone has suggestions on correcting this, I'd love to hear them.

Ok found the source of the my problem.

the session.save_path directive must be set to a valid directory.

and it wasnt.

About time someone did something right, Just kidding there are a lot of people putting allot of effort into CMS's and forum boards. But this project does seem to be a real winner and newbies should be at ease with it.
Do have one comment/question- I really would like to use Apollo but seems like there are a few problems with missing icons. I am using v 0.8.6 with smf 1.06 and Apollo tp. is there something I am missing?

[IchBin]

What icons? If your missing TP icons then just copy them from the default theme to your apollo theme.

[flyer222]

Yes Ichbin, those icons specific to TP such as under tools and on the settings tool bar! I haven't gone looking in the templet yet but thought it may be a path or file .ext name issue. However before I blow out an existing site and having to start over, I asked first.
Also one other point, I have been using Helios for awhile and was going to make a suggestion that a link mod somehow be made from the new post icons to the actuall post. I see that has been done on this forum..... is there a mod for this?.. I note many general forum users who have little computer experiance or background but are interested in being a member of specific forums find it cofusing to locate posts give up and just don't try never to return.. Linking from the icon to the topic instead of clicking on text lines would be a VERY GOOD THING...

Thanks for your help.

-----While I am here (4-1-06) Found the link idea I was referring to, s in SMF 1.1-------

I installed the latest version of SMF Forums and attempted to upload the package of TinyPortal. When i do i get the following error:

2: copy(/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/joesdomain.ca/httpdocs/Themes/default/images/divider.gif): failed to open stream: Permission denied
File: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/joesdomain.ca/httpdocs/Sources/Subs-Package.php

What have i missed?

Permission denied means just that... you don't have permissions. I do believe this is an issue with your host. Have you tried running the manual install?
