Ok, i'm at my wit's end, i can not upload a theme & my husband it getting tired of making  changes to my site.
specifics;
I'm running 2.0.2,
when i attempt to add a theme i get; "Unable to connect to the server. Please try using this URL ...",

I then DL a theme, zipped to my DT & use the "upload a pkg" & get "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, <snip>"

Both of these errors happen on both of my windows 7 machines, but *not* oh my husbands MAC.....<sigh> when he's logged on as me to my forum.

My permissions are all set to writable, I've dumped my temp i-net files etc, tried firefox intead of chrome.

Theme's aren't packages, Adapa...

Does that give you enough of a clue? ;)

Welcome to the forum, by the way!

Actually it would be good if the one area of admin handled themes as well as mods. We have talked about this, and it is possible, but it hasn't been done due to the amount of recoding that would be required, and the fact that there are higher priorities.


Antechinus

Y'know what? As an easy interim measure, it would be a rather good plan to have a simple warning in the package manager section: "Please note that themes should be installed via the Manage and Install page."


Antechinus

Maybe we should move this to Bug Reports just to annoy the devs. ;)

You could always blame your other-half, for not showing you, properly.

I'm sure that's what mine would do, in the circumstances... ;)

Moved to Bug Reports. Not really a bug as such, but we do get this sort of confusion every so often. I'd call it a minor usability issue.

How you can help SMF

Now we just have to wait for someone to try and install a mod via the Themes page. :D

This kinda echoes why I never switched to SMV v2.

To me, the way the admin section is laid out seems totally... dare I say...
