Title: Buttons not showing up
Post by: greenstar on December 19, 2007, 06:40:37 PM
Sorry I'm new to this. I've used phpBB before, but not SMF. I found a theme I absolutely love, but a the buttons aren't showing up in it. I was going to upload a custom set, but I can't figure out how. Could you please help?

Welcome to SMF.

It's best to contact the theme creator for specific theme questions, in the download section you'll see the 'comment on this mod' link.

You have to supply more detail, the actual theme might help ;)  Most likely the theme relys on the board/user langauge settings.  Set your forum to English and not English-utf8, that should fix it.  Let us know.

Well I went to go change it to just english and it said the Settings.php was read only =(.

My theme is cs-dk114v1, if that helps.

Is it set to English-utf8?

You can CHMOD your settings.php file and then edit it via the AdminCP.  Or via your FTP client download the file, make the changes to the file, and re-upload to the server.  Always backup before making changes.

CHMOD? Soryy for being noobish. I looked on my FTP for the website but I can't find the files for the forum. If you show me exactly what to change in the script i make the change and just reload the whole theme i guess

No it's in your forums root folder.  It's called Settings.php

Change the language too:
$language = 'english'; # The default language file set for the forum.
