Title: Changing Topic Titles
Post by: ccheryld on September 03, 2016, 08:40:06 AM
I f a poster has a thread going  and wants to change the title of the entire thread and have it show up modified in each post in that thread, can he do that , and if so, how?

I know the Topic can be changed by doing it through the first post, but then it doesn't change the 'subject' of each post ,only that first one.

thanks. I am not using the core theme and that feature is not available unless I go in and fool with code.
I think I will leave well enough alone.
Thanks again.

What?  It's a mod - the package manager will make the code changes.

Hello!

You should go and have a look at this: Package Manager (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Packages). As Shambles told you, it's a Modification and you only have to install it with the help of the Package Manager.

Regards :)

QuoteIt should work on any theme that uses the same base Profile template as the SMF core theme...

What theme do you use?

Hey, that's a good shout (I haven't seen that method before). Going to try it out for myself...

It doesn't retain the "Re:" prefix on replies, but that could be a good thing and should definitely satisfy ccheryld's requirement.

I use the Gainda theme.
So I went to the links , and when I go to download the renamer mod for 2.0 (parse2.0) it comes up in russian.
I have no idea what to do after that.

Going to my Package manager as d3vch suggested and hitting browse only shows

New Packages:
(package)   

    Open Graph topic Facebook 0.1
    Image Processing Memory Limit 0.0.1
    Smart Cache 0.0.2

Package of the Moment:
Enhanced Calendar 1.0   



and shows 'no Packages yet', under 'Browse Packages"

My question is:
How can I get the Theme Renamer link to show up in this Package Manager so I can install it?

you actually need to upload the package before you can install it. http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Package_manager#Upload_a_Package

Well, perhaps I am not asking my question correctly.
My question is : HOW do I find the link to download this mod package to my package Manager.
Where is the link?
When I click on  http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3167 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3167), I get a page in Russian and have no idea where the link is to download to my Package Manager or desktop.

When you enter that page, on the right side of the screen you've got a box named: "Download Package". Click on the version you want to download and then Upload that .zip with your Package Manager.

Follow the link that Illori left you: http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Package_manager#Upload_a_Package

that page is not in russian, if it is for you then use the drop down at the top right of the page to change the language to english.
