This mod has nothing to do with this problem. Check your forum permission in forum configuration.

This mod is not supposed to work with nukes. It is only for normal phpBB.

Hey, I installed the XS mod, and I think it went OK, except for one thing. When I go the admin section of my forum, and click on configuration, I get this message.


Template->make_filename(): Error - file /Library/WebServer/Documents/forum/templates/subSilver/_xs_test.tpl does not exist

You didn't upload template.php

I am assuming you're talking about the template.php that was in the 'uninstall' folder or your XS mod. Cause it's the only one I saw.

I took that and over wrote the template.php in the 'includes' folder of my forum.

I still the get the error message though. Also, assuming it will even work with that error message, I'm trying to get the Morpheus style activated because it RULES. But when I go to the Styles Admin link in the EX section of the admin panel I see this at the top of the box.

0) ? 'row3' : 'row1'; } ?> 0) ? 'row3' : 'row1'; } ?>


Then under that I have a listing of Morpheus and subSilver.

Morpheus

[set default]
[do not override user settings]
[override user settings]
[switch all users to this style]

When I click on set default, I get this message.

The requested URL /forum/admin/admin_xs_styles.setdefault=2 was not found on this server.


I am SO lost.

YES !!

I reinstalled the XS mod. And then dropped Morpheus into the folder. BAM ! It works. Just like that. And I don't see any bugs on my board yet. I love it. Thank you very much. Very very much.


P.S. Do I really even need to worry about the XS Config stuff. Or is it set up so I can just leave it as is.

Check debug info on bottom of page. If cache is writable then everything works fine.

If cache is not writable then better change access mode to directory "cache" so mod could write cache there. But if you can't change access - don't worry because template system will work faster even without cache.

There's already a folder called cache in my forum folder. Should I use this one, or create another one?

:?

You don't need to create another one. In latest versions of phpBB it is already created. Make sure you chmod it so script could write in that directory and that's all.

Blank page

Postby Kenneths on Tue Jun 29, 2004 6:01 pm

hello,

Ive just installed this very nice mod. The only thing Ive currently done is got phpbb reading the same userbase and carry over sessions from osCommerce. The subSilver theme worked from from the start, so I duplicated the files from it and started up the modified WinterICE style. It worked perfectly. Before I switched over to it I chucked in a small piece of PHP to see if it would read the external files from osCommerce, and it worked. After switching over to the WinterICE style and adding PHP (Even the same that worked on subSilver) it just seems to give a blank white screen (Or the information all the way up to <?php) If you would like a code example or anything I would be happy to pop one on here, just wondering if this is a problem thats seen often and if there is something very simple im overlooking.

Thanks,
KennethS
