Split Forum Mod

[DenDen60]

By the way, All I have to do is upload and install the mod through the packet manager.

[dougiefresh]

I'm at a complete loss as to why your fresh install of SMF isn't installing the mod correctly....

[DenDen60]

I don't know either. :-(

I tried on another domain and it did the same thing. Could it be because it's installed by Softaculous and in French?

Well, if the version by Softaculous isn't the same as the one provided by SMF, then it certainly is possible.  I would recommend downloading the SMF version off of this SITE, unzip it, strip out the install* and Settings files, then upload those files to your server.  If it still does it, then....  I dunno.... 

EDIT: Changed a word to make the sentence make sense....

Just for the fun of it, I changed the default language to English and it did the same thing. :-(

That's something really weird.
Not directly related to this issue, but could you please get all your forum files, pack them in a zip file and send it to me?
I would like to see what differences has a "clean" SMF package to the one Softaculous is distributing, especially if it claims to be 2.0.8.

Don't forget to remove Settings.php from the zip file

[DenDen60]

All right,I will do this.

I have been toying with SMF for a long time, and I have never had any problem. I tried to install Ezportal to see if it worked, and it did.   

[margarett]

The package is exactly the same as with a clean SMF install so I see no reason for this to happen...

I replaced all my files with the package you sent and I was able to install this MOD...

[DenDen60]

Weird.

What version of MySQL database do you use?

[margarett]

It's not really relevant here since you get test errors in PHP code but I run PHP 5.5.something with MySQL 5.6.20
So whatever happens there has to do with file handling or reading of PHP...

[DenDen60]

PHP version	5.4.33
MySQL version	5.5.37-cll

Just in case.

@denden60: Really weird....  I wish I could help....

I want use your mod but i have a problem. I using phpmyadmin/mysql on localhost.
When i install your mod i got this error:

Attach your Sources/Admin.php file and I'll look at it.

[DenDen60]

I will check with my hosting company, but meanwhile, could you upload a fresh copy of your file, just in case the one I downloaded is corrupt?

[Falcomfr]

Thank you dougiefresh

I'm putting a screen shot here. You can see I have top and side blocks in place.

What I want, in case I'm not explaining this right, is to have more then one of whatever SP calls the 'forum' page'; when you -just- set a block to show on the 'forum', it ONLY shows on the board index. As there is now a second 'board' created by this mod, how can I have a second 'board index'? It doesn't seem, in theory, like this should be impossible...

You can get a new copy of Simple Machines at the Download page at the top of the screen.  (here)

Thank you dougiefresh

Attached is the altered copy of Admin.php.  You've installed a mod that using the area "MediaPro", and it's that mod which screwed up your Admin.php.  Unfortunately, I don't have the faintest idea what "MediaPro" is, but since you have the strings, I would suggest that you contact the author of that mod and file a complaint about his/her/their mod screwing up Admin.php for you with too many extra lines.....

Huh?

[Kindred]

he wants a series of links in his main menu which point to each of the split forum locations...

[dougiefresh]

Hmmm..... I guess I could add that as an option.  Where to put it, I wonder......  After "Home"?

[Falcomfr]

That working with the new admin.php but now i have a another problem.

When i click on "Create New SubForum" i get a blank page with the number "2" and nothing else.

Can you help me again ? Thanks a lot
