[Erisa]

Well I did what u said.. Didnt work for me.

I came out as this when i tried to delete

http://www.habbo-underworld.com/forum/â€Ã...“â€ËÅ"

Anyway for me, 2 categories could not even be edited. It didnt even appear in the edit list.

Arghhhh.... when i deleted the parent Catagory its left the sib catagories in there .. but they don't show up on the catagory admin thingy.. only on the manage articles screen.. they are empty catagories ..
so now how do i get rid of them cleanly and safley

They are no lonker in the lists of catagories to be edited or deleted .. but I can still add articles to them by clicking on their name in the article manager screen .. its like that are there but they arn't .. talk about the twilight zone .. LOL

I tried to do the same as BlueSteel in my sandbox installation. Have the same Problems here.

@BlueSteel and Erisa: As long, as this is not fixed, you can delete these categories direct from database. You find them in table smf_tp_variables.

lol..that can't continue. i will fix this.

I changed the files can someone look at it for me attached files and it didn't work

[pomeid]

"TPortalAdmin.php"?

This file isn't in my tp_095beta default directory. I see:

TPdladmin.template.php
TPortal.template.php
TPortalAdmin.template.php

Edit: Uh ok, sorry, now I see it.

Neither solve my "old" problem.

Thats beacuse it's not a "template" file.
Look in yor forum/Sources and you have the file there

It would help a great deal to know which folder you can locate files.  Afterall the fixer knows where he is making those changes.  Finding files, within folders isn't always a quicky.

Here is where they're located ----->

--------------- Ooops didn't work----------------

I tried the above code chances - got a big error message on TPortaladmin.php when I tried to access the Articles Manager.  I think I'll just wait-a-bit and watch.

I just unzipped and FTP the original files back up from the 0.9.5 TP beta to my site. Everything is back to normal.  No articles category delete, but I deleted the nuisance categories in the MyPHPAdmin directly from MySql DB.

This give me an idea -  why don't you just correct the two files and put them up as attachments on the first posting of this thread. Then we can download them and FTP them to our sites.  This will probably work for about 99.99% of us, unless there is some block/snippet/package that alters those two files you know of.

Thanks

Because there are more fixes than just the ones you see here. Thats why Bloc doesn't release updated files. He releases a whole updated pacakge to keep things organized.

I appreciate your response, but I don't see anything different from what I said.  Maybe a package is "the" answer, but after reading the above postings I'd say applying little tweaks to the code is difficult.  I know it's time consuming answering all the posts about the issue and then responding to people that don't know how to code the issue.

So... I think in a case like this all that is needed is a couple of corrected files and a clear explanation of where they're located.  Then it's a matter of unzipping the file into the proper place.  Voila! it's fixed...then everybody's happy.

I'd be pleased to see a couple of little zip files up on the first thread that we could download right now, and fix the issue of this thread without making code changes ourselves.

Remember the more steps and people involved in a process, the more screwed up it's gonna get.
