TP 1.0.5 to latest version

If your forum is set as one theme, and your frontpage is another this means that you have an article set to override the theme settings. Go into all your articles settings and look at the theme setting and set it so that its not overriding the theme.

Ok I looked at every article and it says -none- in the pulldown menu where I select what skin to use.  Is this the correct setting?

As far as the site map menu not showing up.  I switched to default menu and it is a blank box there as well.  Thanks again.

As far as this site map menu you mention, is this a Sitemap block or a menubox block?  For either one, you need to set it up but the way you do it depends on which one you are using.

Can you show me a screenshot, or better yet, a link to your site so that I can see it for myself.

If all of your articles show -none- for what theme to show, there is no reason I can think of that your Front Page wouldn't be using the same theme as your Forum.

If you can't figure out the issue with the themes being different, setup a temp account with admin rights and send me a PM with the login info (username and password).  Don't post that info here.  This way I can take a look inside the box.

Hey ZarPrime I will send you a pm.  Thanks.

Smoothbrain,

OK, I've got it.  Give me a little time to look at today's topics and then I'll take a look at it.

Smoothbrain,

OK, I'm still working on the theme issue (showing the same theme on the front page).  I think this has to do with the way you are showing your Front Page.

Note that your menu block now shows the internal menu on your home page (http://bandalumni.startlogic.com/).  In your menu, you had "Sitemap" checked for all items.  This is why the links weren't showing in the menu block.  I unchecked all of them and the links now show up.  I added a SiteMap block below the Donate block.  Right now, it shows only the Downloads link.  If you don't want to show a link to Downloads you can turn this block off.  However, if you go back into your internal menu and check "SiteMap" for all links, the links will show up in the SiteMap block along with the Downloads link.  If you do this, then the links will no longer show up in the menu block.

What this does is allow you to show the menu links in either a menu block or a Sitemap block but not both.  If you wanted them to show up in both, you'd have to setup a second menu.  I hope this is clear.

Now, I'm going to go back in and fix the theme issue so that your band theme shows up on the frontpage as well as everywhere else.  However, I did notice something strange about this theme.  Whoever created the theme has rearranged the menu at the top in somewhat of a bizarre fashion.  When they did this, they removed any reference in the theme to show the Admin menu item.  If you want that back in there, you are going to have to talk to the person who made this theme and tell them you need that reference back in there.  Otherwise, the only way you will be able to get into the Admin section, even when logged in as an Admin, will be to add "?action=admin" to the end of the url for the homepage like this --> http://bandalumni.startlogic.com/index.php?action=admin

OK, first off, I removed the AdvShout Module and added the Simple Shoutbox instead.  The AdvShoutBox is no longer supported and will give you more problelms than it is worth.

Second,  the reason your theme wasn't showing on the Front Page is because you had an article set to be featured on the Front Page.  This is now off and the Forum default theme, which is the band theme should show everywhere.  Until you get the lack of an Admin button in that theme sorted, I have added a theme selector which will only be visible to Admins.  When you want to go into Admin you can select the SMF default theme to show and an Admin button will show up at the top.  Selecting the SMF default theme to show will xhange it only for you.

You have a lot of Mods that could be interfering with the way the Forum works.  In your menu, a couple of the links go to the Forum instead, like the Donate link and the Links link.  There is no way for me to be able to sort those out.  You will have to talk to the creators of those mods to ask them what the problem is.

In any case, this should fix the problems that you outlined above.  Let me know if there's anything else you're having problems with regarding TP, but I think this will fix you up.

Thanks Zar, you totally rule.  I know where to look to fix the donate and the Links link.  I also know what is up with the admin etc buttons not being there.  I have a small code i need to add at the top which will list those buttons at the top of the page in a more discreet fashion so that the streamlined buttons for our regular users are present.  At this point although there are more then one admins I am the only admin really with any TP/SMF knowledge so it shouldn't be a huge problem.  The only thing I was worried aobut was I was having this cookie problem with an older version of that band skin and was worried it was the top strip the skin creator made.  That is why I have not added it back in as of yet.  If worse comes to worse I might hit you up for some more advice.

Until then, thanks sooooo much for your time and efforts.  I really appreciate it.

One quick question.  On my discussions page.  The menu box is not left justified. Is there a quick fix for this?  Thanks again.
