SOLVED - Articles Issue after TP Upgrade

[IchBin]

stipchaser, could you do as Zarprime suggested please?

If you have this problem while only viewing with the Custom theme, please attach the index.template.php file from that theme to your next post. Thanks.

Thank you IchBin!

Looks like a theme issue. Can you post a zip of that theme? It looks like Bloc had got rid of the SMF1.x version of that theme, so I'll need to install the theme and test things out to get it to work.


--edit--
Actually, go ahead and backup your file and try the one I've attached. Worth a shot. I removed all the old TP code that wasn't needed anymore, but I haven't been able to test it. If it doesn't work, I'm gonna need the theme zip so I can install and test.

Thanks IchBin, here is the zip no luck with the modified template file so far I tried various different settings and changed the themes back and forth with out any positive results.

Thanks again. . . .

Again, can select these two settings in your Admin (and save) so that we can look at your FrontPage with the default SMF theme?  You don't have to change anything else, just those 2 settings I have the red arrow pointing to in the attached image.

Well, you didn't give me full access so I can't really check anything as far as what is showing in the Helios theme and where it should be showing.  However, I can tell you for sure that this is definitely a theme issue.

Here's the problem.  The version of Helios that you are using was designed to work specifically with TinyPortal version 0.9.8.  It has special edits in it that enable that version of TP to work properly.  Versions of TP after that one do not require these special edits.  I looked at the index.template.php that you attached previously and also the one that Ichbin attached and there are still calls to TinyPortal in the theme.  Unfortunately, that theme is no longer available for any SMF 1.1.x version (with or without the TP 0.9.8 calls).

If you insist on using this theme, you have 2 options ...

1.  You could upgrade your Forum to SMF 2.0 RC4.  Bloc has a version of Helios that is available for this version of SMF and it works fine with the latest version of TinyPortal.  If you wanted to do that, I would suggest that you first clone your live site to a test site, upgrade it from SMF 1.1.2 to SMF 2.0 RC4, install the latest TP to it, and then install the latest version of Helios.  The theme is available on Bloc's site (http://www.blocweb.net/index.php?action=forum).  This will give you a test site to play with to determine whether you want to go ahead and upgrade the live site.

2.  The second option may be a little more difficult since this theme was from Bloc but Crip has a Theme Conversion Guide for converting old SMF 1.1.x themes for use with TinyPortal 0.9.8.  Theoretically, you could look through the 2 files in the Helios theme directory that Crip specifies in his Guide and reverse the changes.  The problem is that Bloc may have something in the theme that is not covered in Crip's Guide.  Before doing this, you would, of course, want to backup the 2 files.  If you want to attempt this, the link to Crip's guide is here --> http://web.archive.org/web/20070704194247/http://www.cripcan.com/cripconvert.htm

That is odd I specifically logged in and made sure I could change the themes under that account? Sorry about that. . .

Well either way on the other side of the coin I will have to make all my mods work with the new version of SMF so I am now stuck in the middle. I will just move forward and get it done BTW could you please let me know what application you use for parsing? I have been manually doing it with Dreamweaver,  thanks for your assistance as always it is greatly appreciated.

Happy New Year! Looks like its going to be a fun weekend!

The problem is that you have an old TP file in the theme. Remove the TPortal.template.php file from your theme and everything should work fine.
