sorry... quick smf upgrade question (updated problem !)

[ed_m2]

Good point.
Just checked index.php again, and you'll only need to modify the require_once call to Settings.php, as it's relying on Settings.php being in the same directory as index.php.
Whereas all the other require_once calls are relying on $sourcedir, which is set in Settings.php.

ah well.. it is .. smf seems quite happy with an index.php in both root & forum directory with appropriate settings.php in each (although normally i have a redirect in the forum directory).

it is only when i install the TP package that the root version stops working with that error.

hi all

quick tp version query.. a long while ago i was using TP 0.98 & upgraded to a 1.0beta.

the package i dl is called: TPv1.05beta1.zip and dated 23/08/08
& shows up in package manager as: 1.052
& the install page header says: Install/Upgrade v1.0.5 beta 1Ã,©2004-2008

which seems to be labelled as a later release to those currently available on site... so what is the latest version in relation to what i already have ?
and is it the right thing to do to uninstall this current TP & install the latest TP package ?

muchos gracias

Latest public version is 1.0 Beta 4.

The v1.05 beta 1, was the original public beta version of v1.0.
Bloc changed how he was naming the betas at some point, which has caused a bit confusion.

ah thanks, must be why i'm confused now then....

from 0.x to 1.x was some db change which meant it wasn't backward compatible.. has the db changed since ?

any issue with installing latest beta over the top of the db created by this first 1.0 beta ?

[mc]

That, I personally don't know.

I went straight from 0.98 to beta 4, as that was what was available when I updated my sites.

[ed_m2]

cheers.
i shall sit tight and await a guru

Shouldn't be any problems going from each beta version. Just uninstall, and install the latest beta. After you make a backup of course.

[ed_m2]

naturlich.... tah

current version install hanging at redirect at the mo... we shall see !

hmmm gave up.. seems to have installed.. where should the redirect have gone / done ?

[ed_m2]

hmmm ok, now my theme won't work 

should have read the release topic i guess, how has theme handling changed?
my customised theme used with the first beta now returns for all TP pages:

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tppagelayout1() in /home/XXXX/public_html/Sources/Load.php(1742) : eval()'d code on line 208

which i'm sure you'd tell me would be expected if i had read the threads for the last few months!

sorry to be a numpty.

the custom theme was a heavily modified default , and i guess default has changed enough to upset things.

off for a run now ! will play more later.. thx in advance for anymore pointers.

e.

[ed_m2]

ok took my modified:
TPBlockLayout.template.php
TPBlocks.template.php

out of my theme dir so it reverts to default version and all works ok.

i'm sure i'll remember why i modded those files soon enough.
(oh actually one was to lose the upshrink arrows hmmm)

thanks for listening
