if you scroll....1...2....8 posts up you might find the answer you seek

Oh, sorry about that.

I did do a search, so I wasn't entirely lazy.

Still though... the new images would be nice, but not a major thing.

No, its the fact that you run "install.php" and not "manual_tp_install.php". That file is supposed to be executed by the package manager, not stand-alone.It assume a connection to mysql is already present, thats why you get the error.

If you can't use the package manager, you need to use the "manual_tp_install.php" but beware that ONLY installs the mysql tables. You still need to upload the actual TP files, and modify 4-5 SMF files.

I have used the manual_install file. I made the changes to all files except

index.template.php

Cause I did not find

<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" border="0" />';

Or

', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], ' ', $txt[64], ' ', $txt[525], ' <span style="white-space: nowrap;">', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], ' ', $txt[19], '</span>

                     ', $txt[656], ': ', $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'], '
                  </div>
               </div>';

Now my fourm home page does show nothing, except the welcome screen.

Other sections: Admin, Members, Profile, Search...

Are working...

Any help please???

I think you should install another TP theme and see if everything is OK.

I tried two different themes, but non worked. I can see the TinyPortal in admin page and its working, but in the home page nothing is showing except the welcome message.

Then you need to modify the index.template. Your boardindex is still there, only now its called from "index.php?action=forum" rather than just "index.php".

Incidentally there is a setting in TPadmin for frontpage called "go directly to forum", that will make it behave the old way again. The TP homepage will then need to be called from "index.php?action=tportal", while of course "index.php" goes to the forum.

hey Bloc, is there any way to have all the features for TP for SMF 1.0.6 working with the new look of the RC2 skin? (i'm talking about Helios multi) i'm torn between keeping full functionality a logo, etc, and keeping the new skin...

[bloc]

uhm..not sure what you mean..but:

You want TP for 1.0.6..meaning you want to use SMF1.0.6. What exactly is the 1.1rc2 parts of Helios_TP you need to apply to the Helios_TP 1.0.5 version?

Ok so i upgraded TP last night and it was all smooth banana's... the problem came when i downloaded the Helios Skin for the TP_helios_multi11_rc. It worked fine, it that had that new look ( http://www.sonic-energy.net/smf/index.php ), but it when came to configure it, the template couln't find the CSS style sheets, i couln't place a logo, i couln't even allow the template to load on Blue or any colour except for the defualt brown cause it went crazy when i pressed save and it booted back to the default skin.

in page 29 of this thread i was pointed to the Helios skin for SMF 1.0.6 >
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=cat7

and that one works fine but it dosen't have the 'new' look... so i was wondering if i did something wrong, or am i missing a skin, or if there are plans to implement the 'new' look into future templates for Helios. i realize it must be tremendous work keeping all those skins updated, but i just found it strange the newer skin following RC2  (SMF 1.0.6) had the old look and feel. made me wonder if i was missing something

What do you mean by "new look" ? The only thing I know that is not in the 1.0.5/1.0.6 version is the boarder surrounding the center part(like it is on the sidebars).
