You missed one of my suggestions above:
Ok, do this:
OPEN
mod_install.txt
FIND
Code: Select all
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------

<td width="150" align="left" valign="top" class="{postrow.ROW_CLASS}"><span class="name"><a name="{postrow.U_POST_ID}"></a><b>{postrow.POSTER_NAME}</b></span><br /><span class="postdetails">{postrow.POSTER_RANK}<br />{postrow.RANK_IMAGE}{postrow.POSTER_AVATAR}<br /><br />{postrow.POSTER_JOINED}<br />{postrow.POSTER_POSTS}<br />{postrow.POSTER_FROM}<br />{postrow.CASH}</span><br /></td>

{postrow.POSTER_FROM}
Save, upload, and try again using EM...

And another question, once I install the mods using EasyMod, do I need to delete the files I uploaded or should I leave them there?
You can delete the MOD folder from admin/mods after successfully installing it. But before you do so, I highly recommend that you download it back to your PC for backup purposes. EM creates two new folders when you install the MOD: backups and processed. If for any reason, you need to restore Backups in the future, the only way you can use EM's Restore Backups utility is if the MOD folders containing the new backups and processed folders exist in your admin/mods folder. I once had to restore 20 MODs to track down a strange problem caused by a MOD and I didn't know which was causing it. If I hadn't kept backups of my MOD folders after installing the MODs, I might never have been able to find and correct the problem...
Once you have good backups of the installed MOD folders to your PC, you can delete them from admin/mods to keep things cleaned up...

EDIT2:
I added another style, can I get easymod to install the current mods on thar style aswell, or do I need to do that manually?
First to get EM to work in the new template, you can either reinstall it or you can copy the following to the new template folder. Just replace the name subSilver with the new template name:
Code: Select all
copy easymod/includes/*.tpl to templates/subSilver/admin/*.tpl
copy easymod/includes/emc.gif to templates/subSilver/images/emc.gif
copy easymod/easymod.gif to templates/subSilver/images/easymod.gif
You probably want to Update the template to the current phpBB version before installing MODs into them too. I have created Template Only versions of the phpBB Updates that you can use to update your new templates. You can usually learn the phpBB version that your template was designed for in the Subject name where you downloaded the template. Since some phpBB updates did not modify template files, there are no Template Only versions for them...
downloads/phpBB/MODs/Updates
Then if you want to install MODs into the new template that are already installed on your board, you can create Template Only versions of the MODs and install them too...
Creating Template Only MODs
All you need to do is create Template Only versions of the MODs that you have installed.
- First create a duplicate of the MOD script in a new text file. To make it easier to remember, just use the same MOD filename that the MOD author used, but add _template_only to the name. So if you are using the TopicCalender.txt file, the new Template only version would be named TopicCalender_template_only.txt.
- Then save the new Template Only MOD and store it in it's own separate templates only folder...
- If there are any files included with the MOD that are supposed to be uploaded to template folders, store them in the new Template only MOD folder maintaining the same folder structure that the original MOD used...
- Next add the name of the new Template to the end of the MOD Title using your favorite Text editor. So the MOD Title could look something like this if Aeolus is your new template name:
Code: Select all
## MOD Title: Topic calendar - Part 1 (common to all setup) Aoelus
- Next strip out all NON-Template related modifications. All you want in this new Template Only version of the MOD are alterations for template files only. If there are any copy commands, only keep those that copy included files into template folders too..
- Then rename all instances of subSilver with your new Template name using the Replace All function that you can find in most text editors.
- Now you can upload the new Template Only MOD folder to the admin/mods and run it like you would any other MOD using EM.
If you have added more than one new template, you would want to repeat Steps 6 & 7 for each Template except instead of using subSilver, you would use the name of the last template that you installed using this Template Only version of the MOD. So if the last template you modified with this was Aeolus and you want to apply the changes to Helius next, do a Replace All on Aoelus to Helius...
It really isn't that difficult to update each new template after the fact...
