making visual warning mod work (?)

[Moocat]

Umm yeah i'm kinda a noob at this php stuff. The problem I'm having is that Visual Warning Mod 1.2.6 (the one compatible with SMF 1.1 beta3 public) is installed on my forum. I can see its section in the admin panel, but the "Warn" button doesn't show up when I use the Helios Theme. I also have TP 0.6.5 Beta installed, so, I'm using the TinyPortal version of Helios. Can anyone tell me where to add code and what code to add to get the "warn" button to appear? Thanks!

You need to open up the mod or xml file in the visual warning mod package to see the instructions. It tells you what code to add to what files. Instead of doing it to the default theme you need to do it to the helios theme.

i did that and still couldnt figure it out
the .mod file had nothing about a button, that i saw. i even searched for ".gif" in it, and the name of the button image. nothing showed up. btw, works fine on default theme.

That's because you have to make your own button and put it in the proper place in the theme folder.
You can go here to make a button for helios.

well first problem i see with that is that i don't even get a "no image" icon, you know the box with the X in it. so i have to assume that there isn't even code to call the image. i know it used to work on helios before i installed tinyportal.... :x

thanks for the suggestion tho : \ i'll keep looking into it .

I'll see if I can't look at the mod to see what you're talking about.

Here are the changes you need to make to both of these files in the helious theme. The images should show up after you do this. Just remember that the code your searching for will not look exactly the same because this is the helios theme and not the default theme.
