Having problems installing EM? Let's fix that
Forum rules
DO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

Re: installin simple subforum how to???? help

Post by ashras99 »

I try to installing on my live forum..and doesnt give any critical warning with the default mod file but shows lots of warnings like no row in templates tpl files.

But still i completed the installation and when i checked my forum...then lots of erros are coming on the main page...so i revert back the backup through EM because some users are online on my forum.

So, i think Simple subforum can work fine with subsilver if installing through EM but not with other templates... and have to do mannualy ?

Actually if you cut down the FIND statements so that they only look for key words or phrases, you can install the MOD most times into any template file. The overall_header.tpl is the file that causes the most problems though, so occasionally you are forced to manually add the code to it on alternative templates. But most times you can fix the MOD script so that it will cleanly install into all of your template files using EM...

FIND

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.L_MODERATOR} {catrow.forumrow.MODERATORS}</span></td>

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/amby_x/amby_x.css


#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
@import url


#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------

/* Begin Simple Subforums MOD */
a.topic-new, a.topic-new:visited { color: {T_BODY_HLINK}; }
a.topic-new:hover, a.topic-new:active { color: {T_BODY_LINK}; }
/* End Simple Subforums MOD */
You will still see a Warning error for the amby_x/overall_header.tpl file, but you can ignore it. The code will be placed in the new section that you added above that modifies the amby_x.css file...

Save, upload, and try again using EM...

EM only needs a key word or phrase on each line of the FIND to know where to look. With EM, less is best. So if you go back to the FIND that I suggested, you will be able to find each part of each line in most of your template files. Remember less is best. The more detail you include in the FIND statement, the more likely that it will fail...

Try my suggestions and see if they work. I imagine that you will be pleasantly surprised...

Is that the only warning error left? That's progress...

Could you provide a text link to your amby_x/index_body.tpl file? If it is significantly different from the others, you may be forced to apply the MOD code to it after installing the MOD...

Ok, someone has commented out some of this code and changed the formatting a bit. You can make a slight modification to the file so that EM will be able to apply the code to it...

Try this:

OPEN
amby_x/index_body.tpl

FIND

Code: Select all

</span><!-- 
     <span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.L_MODERATOR} {catrow.forumrow.MODERATORS}</span> 
     --></td>
<td class="row1" align="center" valign="middle"><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.TOPICS}</span></td>
<td class="row2" align="center" valign="middle"><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.POSTS}</span></td>
REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

     </span><!--<span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.L_MODERATOR} {catrow.forumrow.MODERATORS}</span>--></td>
<td class="row1" align="center" valign="middle"><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.TOPICS}</span></td>
<td class="row2" align="center" valign="middle"><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.POSTS}</span></td>
Save and Upload to your amby_x folder, then run the SS MOD again using EM. You can ignore the Warning Error for your amby_x/overall_header.tpl file...
