hello. im getting test failed at :

./Themes/classic/BoardIndex.template.php

when i try to do the manual instructions to classic theme, the "find" string isnt found in there. any idea why?

im using the absado theme as well, but tweaked it with my preference.  here's our site:
hxxp:she-geeks.com/forum [nonactive]

If you're not using the classic theme-- then I'd skip it.

@justy_

ccbtimewiz is right. You can skip that theme if you are not using it. You can go ahead with the installation ignoring the failed test.

Hi JohnyB! I love your mod!! BUT I'm having trouble.. I just installed SMF 1.5 so I only have 2 members including myself. I installed your mod and it skipped files.. I decided to use Package Parser and this is what I get

PHP script to execute: AvatarOnBoardDB114.php
Files installed

    * noavatar.gif will be copied to $boarddir/avatars

Modifications to SMF files

Now I've been reading this whole post from beginning to ending trying to see if I can figure it out!
I'm using the Fire Theme so dunno if that's it.
Also I've been noticing that you ask people to attach files. Just in case you ask me to do the same
I have no idea where to get these files. I have no idea how to go and manually change codes in these files if needed!

So you are dealing with a complete newbie! LOL! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I would love to use your mod  & install it w/o a hitch before I open my site..

Thanks!

If you want to manually install it yourself, try the in-built SMF Parser. What are the files that failed the installation test?

Thanks for the quick response!

Well it didn't have a "fail error"... Just "Skipping File" this is what it said..

Now I navigated to that link you gave me and I'm like WOW!! Ummmm I figured out how to modify the themes in Admin Cpanel... but the rest like for example from what you sent me

Where do I find these?
./Sources/

also at very end it says CODE
no idea where those are either..
Again thanks!

Oh btw.. I really rather not install myself ONLY if I have to! LOL .. looks crazy! But if I do I will try my best!

[Bulakbol]

You can go ahead with the installation if you want.  Try using the default Theme to see if it is working. Then edit your Themes/Fire/BoardIndex.template.php and MessageIndex.template.php. Use a good text editor like Crimson editor or Notepad++ then find the codes. Do not use word precessor.

Ok I installed it and changed my theme to default, It works with that. so now all I have to do is modify the files you mentioned above right? I will let you know!

Oops, should I not use the admin Cpanel to modify it?

[Bulakbol]

You can use the admin panel yes and if you make mistake, just use the default theme.

[linette97]

Ugh Johny! I have no idea what I'm doing!! Ok this is what I did

I went in to modify ./Themes/fire/BoardIndex.template.php
I used notepad because I had trouble finding the codes... I choose to use "find" in notepad..
Ok so I'm trying to look for all these codes and I was only able to find and modify 1

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($board['children']))
Replace with

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($board['children']) && !$modSettings['display_childboards'])

Now for ./Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php
I found only 2
The same one as above &

Code Select Expand

I look and nada has changed! grrrr
I installed using the admin Cpanel, was that not ok? I did not install manually.
Please help me out if you have the time. I'm pretty lost.
Thanks again!

I've attached both files in case you need to look at it! I went ahead and returned it back to how it was...

[Bulakbol]

The files that you attached are not complete files. You should use FTP program to download and upload files to your server.

Oops! I'm such a Noob! LOL! Sorry bout that.. I hope I did it right, I went to my FTP and downloaded the files from there into zip then saved it onto my PC....  here you go!

[Bulakbol]

@linette97
   Try these files. If they won't work, let me know and I'll check them once more. Use them after installing this mod.

ive had a read thru this topic and i cant see a post(s) about changing the size of the avatar displayed on the board.

the displayed size of the avatar on the board is scaled to 35px × 35px but id like it to be scaled at 45px x 45px
as the forum avatar pictures (there not smf avatars, there 1s ive uploaded) become to compressed at the size they are being displayed at now and distort and i would also like the 45px x 45px to match the size of my new/old post icons that are 45px x 45px

can this be done?

[Bulakbol]

Admin -> Features and options -> Layout and Options.
