Lost new posts icons

Well... see... that can not be your boardindex.template.php file.

Your board index calls:
<img title="No New Posts" alt="No New Posts" src="http://home.comcast.net/~tgfmo/off.gif">
However...  in the board index that you provided, the code calls:
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['theme_variant_url'], 'off.png" alt="', $txt['old_posts'], '" title="', $txt['old_posts'], '" />';


So, you obviously are not providing us with the boardindex.template.php that your site is actually using...

Can't seem to find it! Is that file going to be in one of the theme folders?

[bigmo66]

I don't get it. I looked at all 5 themes and every boardindex and there is no call to comcast.net

I have my forum set to use a custom theme and this is where the boardindex is that I attached.  I don't where else to find this reference to comcast.net

[Kindred]

Your site is using the default, curve, theme...  Not a custom theme.

[Illori]

can you provide a screenshot of the paths here? admin -> themes and layout -> theme settings for the theme you are currently using?

[bigmo66]

I must be dumb as a bag of hammers as I have the forum set to a custom theme, but am being told I don't.



I also used a backup from before I upgraded to .11 and have again attached the boardindex

Thanks for hanging in there with me.  Where the heck is this reference to my prior pic hosting at comcast?

[Illori]

it does look like you are using a custom theme, but since it is so similar to the default theme it is easy to confuse the two.

[bigmo66]

another screen shot. Because I wanted to modify a few things, I made a new theme so I didn't wreck the default. Pretty much a rookie at this stuff.  If I change it to the default ( or another for that matter) nothing seems to change.



What happens if I attempt to "reset all themes"?

[Kindred]

Do note, using spaces in a path is BAD process.....

Spaces? Not sure where you are referring to. I haven't done anything to the forum in quite some time except upgrade to .11

[Kindred]

Look at the directory for your custom theme...  It has spaces in the name.


That is not your issue here... But it is a bad habit and should be avoided.

Thanks for the tip, I will correct.  I fixed my on/off icon problem by simply editing each board and point the img url to it's new location.
My problem is I go months or longer without much tinkering.

Thanks all.

Editing each board?

Since that is not a standard feature of smf, your problems apparently resulted from a mod...

In the modify board area. Wasn't bad at all. I still had a couple icon graphics pointing to an old host.

[Kindred]

yup... that is definitely a mod.

[bigmo66]

Now, just have to figure out how to get the "new" next to recent posts on the portal to work again.

[Kindred]

use firefox+firebug
right click on the text that replaces the missing image
look at the code which tells you where it is looking for that image
put the image file there.

[bigmo66]

Thanks Kindred

Strike that - brain fart!
