Template install error

Post by otherslost »

I downloaded a template from http://www.phpbb3styles.net/ and when I try to install it I get the following:

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Data too long for column 'theme_copyright' at row 1 [1406]

SQL

INSERT INTO capfbb_styles_theme (theme_name, theme_copyright, theme_path, theme_storedb, theme_data, theme_mtime) VALUES ('subGeoff', '� 2007 Geoffreak', 'subGeoff', 0, '', 1234173266)

BACKTRACE

FILE: includes/db/mysqli.php
LINE: 163
CALL: dbal->sql_error()

FILE: includes/acp/acp_styles.php

LINE: 507
CALL: acp_styles->main()

FILE: adm/index.php
LINE: 74
CALL: p_master->load_active()
Anyone have any ideas what would be causing this and what I may be able to do to correct it?

I have no problems installing any other styles I have tried.

Thanks.

The style author has incorrectly inserted a copyright symbol in each of the .cfg files (style.cfg/imageset.cfg/template.cfg/theme.cfg) If you edit these files and replace the existing copyright symbol with

Code: Select all

&copy
or just leave his name there, it will import.

Thank you. It solved the problem.

There is still a formatting issue with it but I should be able to fix that.
