Although support is requested to go to the author's mod support site, locking this thread is not acceptable since there are people who will not register on 18 dozen sites for the 18 dozen mods.

If you post a question in this thread, be aware that the mod author is NOT providing support here...   but other users may be able to help you.

フリーレンジ, as long as the mod is still offered for download here on this site, this support topic will not be locked.

When I try to parse 1.2.1 on the mod site, I get an error stating that the package can not be parsed for 2.0.2

When I download the same package, I get the following error after trying to install:

Quote
Package upload failed due to the following error:
"Although the package was downloaded to the server it appears to be empty. Please check the Packages directory, and the "temp" sub-directory are both writable. If you continue to experience this problem you should try extracting the package on your PC and uploading the extracted files into a subdirectory in your Packages directory and try again. For example, if the package was called shout.tar.gz you should:
1) Download the package to your local PC and extract it into files.
2) Using an FTP client create a new directory in your "Packages" folder, in this example you may call it "shout".
3) Upload all the files from the extracted package to this directory.
4) Go back to the package manager browse page and the package will be automatically found by SMF."

Hmm, I'll try preparing the new version as soon as possible and package it in different formats. Hope that helps :P

Packaging with TAR helps on unix systems :)

Nice mod! It's a great way of making the section clearer :)

Thank you :) 1.3 is a rewrite of the help system, it doesn't link to the wiki anymore but contains documentation itself. :D

In the meantime, I went ahead and opened the package and manually did the two edits and it is working fine.
Thanks for the reply.  Nice mod.  I just had to tweak the hover background for my forum in the index.css edit and that was it.

this is all i get when i upload the package

Code: [Select]
Package upload failed due to the following error:
"Although the package was downloaded to the server it appears to be empty. Please check the Packages directory, and the "temp" sub-directory are both writable. If you continue to experience this problem you should try extracting the package on your PC and uploading the extracted files into a subdirectory in your Packages directory and try again. For example, if the package was called shout.tar.gz you should:
1) Download the package to your local PC and extract it into files.
2) Using an FTP client create a new directory in your "Packages" folder, in this example you may call it "shout".
3) Upload all the files from the extracted package to this directory.
4) Go back to the package manager browse page and the package will be automatically found by SMF."

not sure which edits need doing so ill just have to wait for it to be fixed :D

Try extracting the contents of the archive to your computer and repackage it as .tar.gz. Then upload that file to your forum ;)

This mod has been updated to work with SMF 2.0.3. I packaged it on Windows, so it should work fine now, I hope. :P

Sorry JonezJeA, I've had to remove your attachment.  You can't just take someone's mod and update it without the mod author's permission unless the licence expressly allows it.

For anyone having difficulty installing this mod on 2.0.4 please see this page of the wiki  http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_can_I_install_a_mod_that_doesn%27t_work_in_my_SMF_version
