Those links are from the Project HoneyPot and they were there before i installed v1.0 beta 4  :-\
Still, i deleted them and the error persists... Also, the index.template of default theme doesn't have those links and the error occurs on default theme...

The strangest is that in my pc the forum is ok with the same database and forum files.

FragaCampos,

I tried to help you before on your site, and I told you before that you have to make sure that everything works properly on the default SMF core theme before trying to make it work in your custom theme, but you insisted on ignoring what I said and continued working on fudging things to make things look OK in your custom theme, and it's obvious to me that you are still ignoring this advice.

I checked your site earlier today when I last posted in this topic and there was no TinyPortal copyright on your site when viewing the site in the default theme.  This is the strongest indication that something is not right with your default theme.

I just checked your site again and I see the copyright now, but I must tell you this ~~~ You cannot just add a line to the default theme's index.template.php file (TinyPortal v1.0 beta 4 Ã,© Bloc | NewDef design by Bloc) and say "OK, the TP copyright is there now so it must be working right".

This is not an issue with a missing TP copyright.  It's not that simple.  Any edits that you do to your site MUST BE DONE, first and foremost, in the SMF default core theme.  Only after that can you do the edits to the custom theme and expect things to work correctly.  Too many things on your site depend on the settings and make use of the files contained within the default theme for you to ignore them.

A Rule of thumb --> Always, Always, Always, make sure everything works properly in the SMF default theme before making them work in a custom theme.

I'm not trying to give you grief over this.  I am trying to help you.  With that being said, I can no longer help you until you have done what has been suggested by G6 and Ichbin, uploading the files from the SMF big upgrade package and making sure everything works correctly in the default theme.  Dare I say it ~ Nobody here will be able to help you until you bite the bullet and do what we have asked you to do.  That means that you will have to reinstall all of your Mods as well (only while your Forum is set to the default theme), but if you don't do this, you will continue to have various problems until you've done things the correct way.  It won't take that long.  You can overwrite the SMF files and reinstall all of those Mods in a matter of a few hours tomorrow.

Just Do It.

Thanks ZarPrime for your long text about solving something that has nothing to do with what i asked.
First, as i told you before on another topic, i removed the copyright of the theme because i didn't know how to do to add another string and i messed with the file, but only with that file. I already apologised for that. This was over a year ago. I don't know why you keep coming to this subject. I won't put my forum at risk just because you see a "string" instead of the original code for bloc's copyright. It is there, isn't it? Am i infringing anything else? Everything, i repeat, everything is ok with my forum. I have no error logs whatsoever, and none, i repeat, none of my users uses the default theme.

This being said, if you don't want to help or know how to do it, just say so.
I'll will not ask for help again on this forum, because i think you don't give a good support.

I spent hundreds of hours to do what you see on my forum, without knowing php, sql or any other related languages.I've learned everything by myself, i read tutorials, FAQs, you name it. I read all the support topics, and you can count by the fingers of your hands the topics i opened on TP's forum for help.
Still, besides IchBin™, i never had proper help.
You can see in this topic who helped who, and how. I think what is there, speaks for itself.


I'll keep using TP because i think is a good software, but for now on, i'll search for help elsewhere.

Cheers.

Trying to explain things to you is like beating my head against a wall.  It never accomplishes anything and the result is that there will always be headaches.

Did you even read my post.  The 4th paragraph started out "This is not an issue with a missing TP copyright.  It's not that simple." and it isn't about a missing copyright.  At this point, I don't care about a missing copyright.  The problem is that, long ago, you started installing stuff on your site so that it would work with your custom theme without regard to whether it would work in the default theme.  I don't care if you site works fantastic with absolutely no errors in your custom theme.  If you switched your Forum to the default theme for 24 hours I bet you couldn't say that you have no errors.

I tried to tell you this before, but you obviously didn't get the message then and you obviously don't get it now.  Even if none of your members ever even see the default theme, it doesn't matter.  There are too many things in the default theme that are required for custom themes just to ignore it.

I, for one, would never waste my time searching for a needle in a field of 1000's of haystacks, only to finally find it in the last haystack and be told that "Oh, I forgot to mention something, you also need to find the white thread".

I still have an account on your forum it would seem, but I can't remember the password. Would you mind resetting the password to something and PM'ing me the new one? After that, send me a pm on your site and I'll login with Firefox tomorrow and see if I get the same error.

In case someone else comes along with this problem, i would like to inform that this is a Firefox bug identified by SMF's staff and corrected in version 2.
