[stog]

cheers

my custum theme unfortunately isn't working - have played with its css but to no avail

seems ok in core

menus are screwed and i'm toying with using backups and trying again another day

but thx again for your support

this is a common error log

Code Select Expand

Undefined index: by
File: /home/*******f/fibsboard.com/user/htdocs/Themes/default/TPortal.template.php (main sub template - eval?)
Line: 92

ok decided to go live!! now after  a couple of hours sleep!

nothing lost and now more secure is the good news, but the bad is that i need to tidy up what we have left -- a lot of debris and re-arranging needed! and the custom green theme isn't compatible at the moment so we may be blue for a few weeks (core ok)
shout errors for different lines in

File: /home/********/fibsboard.com/user/htdocs/Themes/default/languages/TPShout.english.php (main sub template - eval?)
Line: 166

and still errors as per previous post with tportal

this thread could be useful for others who have delayed upgrading from 0.98 - but i think that 0.98 is compromised -- i got a horrible shell disguised as a php in images/tp-images folder - so i would recommend upgrading

for this reason i shall continue asking/searching here rather than starting new threads ..
for example to get my custom theme working do i copy the tp files from the default theme folder along with the index template to the custom folder?
just about to try! ok just the template it seems 

thx zar prime for all your help thro the night 

ok we r green again --great

OK, well, I just woke up.  Took a break at midnight and watched Star Trek - TNG and then fell asleep.

I just checked your site and it looks fine.  One thing to keep in mind which may be of use.  When you were using TP 0.98, your custom theme required special edits to custom themes to make them work.  From TP1.0 and onward, any theme that is designed for SMF will work with TinyPortal except you would have to add a Forum button when using SMF 1.1.x.  This may have had something to do with your problems with the custom green theme.  Special Note:  One other thing for future reference.  One day, when you decide to switch to SMF 2.0 RC3, or beyond, you won't even have to put the forum button in as TP 1.0 beta 5 for SMF 2.0 adds the Forum button on any custom theme that works with SMF 2.0.

Some of the other errors you are having could very have to do with custom block codes but, for the most part, it looks like you have it working.  I'm on here for a little while if you need me.

OK, well, let's do one or two things at a time.

but if you look on my front page (u may need to refresh constant edits still!) you see the top 2 posts i use for announcing have their original dates in big script -- can i get rid of the dates i wonder?

In TPAdmin, under FrontPage Settings, look for "Layout Types".  It defaults to "Normal Article".  Try one of the other layout types.  Most of them have smaller dates.  Layout Type #7 (Use custom template) may just give you the look you want.

and i am trying toggling shout block options re language etc

Not sure what you mean by "language etc" but besides editing the features of the block itself, you also have settings specifically for the Shoutbox Module.  Those are under "TPShout" and then click settings.

thx  :crazy2:

layout types are as attached below -- the custom -- refers to the editable text below ? i will continue playing with it - i did try editing before, but didn't click the custom button - which explains y it made no difference thx 

thx for all this - hope my members appreciate it? but suspect most won't -- but this running commentary of an upgrade in one thread, will be very useful to many folks i suspect -- cheers

OK, well, if you mess something up in the custom code, LMK and I'll give you the code to get back to the default.  In the next TP update, Bloc will be putting a "reset" button of sorts in there so that you can get back to the default easier if you mess it up.  Also, try the other standard layouts as well.  There is at least one that doesn't show the date.

Here, try this code in the textbox for the custom layout.  I removed the date from the title bar ...

<div class="tborder article render1">
<div class="windowbg2" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;">
<h2 class="catbg article_title">{article_title} {article_category}</h2>
{article_avatar}
<div class="article_info">
{article_author}
{article_date}
{article_views}
{article_rating}
{article_options}
</div>
<div class="article_padding">{article_text}</div>
<div class="article_padding">{article_moreauthor}</div>
<div class="article_padding">{article_bookmark}</div>
<div class="article_padding">{article_morelinks}</div>
<div class="article_padding">{article_globaltags}</div>
<div class="article_padding">{article_comments}</div>
</div>
</div>


See if that gives you the look you want.

EDIT:  If you want to remove the Board it was posted to (in Front Page) change the 3rd line to this ...
