 How do I change the default template from the cpanel ? I was getting a PARSE ERROR after changing a few lines of code, so I tried to figure it out, and thought I had it, but no such luck.
 My site is www.indianainfo.net/newforum/index.php   and I'm using 1.1.7
When-ever I go to my site now I get the below, and that's all it shows.
______________________________________________________________________

The main sub template above the content. function template_main_above() { global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings; // Show right to left and the character set for ease of translating. echo '

Kindred:
1- please use code tags
2- it looks like you messed up your index.template.php

If you don't have any mods installed, then get a copy of the SMF distribution archive (I suggest "large upgrade" package) and over-write your site files with the files from that archive.

sammy1028:
 I've got several mods installed. I would also worry about losing my members, or member list if I did it that way.
 How about if you can tell me how to re-do this from my back-up files. I have things backed up, just don't know how to use them.
  Coding is not one of my stronger points, and that's why I got in this mess anyway.
Thank you Kindred

Kindred:
well, you won't lose any messages or users. All of that data is in the database - not in files.

If you have a backed up copy of your site, then either a) restore everything or b) restore the file index.template.php to your theme directory.

if all else fails, you can do the file overwrite and reinstall the mods.

sammy1028:
How do I do the restore. I've tried it a couple different ways, but nothing seems to work.
Could be I'm not in the right place. I found my back-ups in the package manager and tried to move them to the index.template.php  But when I looked I couldn't find them.
 How do I overwrite the files ? I've never done this before so please be as specific as you can. I'm trying, but not exactly sure what I'm doing.
  Also, is it alright to delete old back-up files ? I found lots of them that go back to 2008. I've never been in these files before today.

Ok, I just downloaded 2.0.2 and have it in my files. So how do I get it to work ? I didn't see anyway to activate it and don't know what to do next.
Thanks
