@Kimmie,
Do you have an theme with ID 1? If you go to your list of themes in the admin panel, the theme ID can be seen in the urls (like ";th=id", where id is the relevant theme id).

k I must be missing something because none of mine have that. Only place it shows urls is on the Theme Settings page and there are no id's at the end of them. I also went to Current Theme and there isnt an ID at the end of those urls either.

Wouldnt the Default theme be theme 1?

I didn't mean the url setting, I meant the url being displayed by your browser when you view the admin pages. When you view the settings for a specific theme, it should have "th=id" in the url.

The default theme should be at ID 1.

ok so i uploaded the sp mod... I am using 1.1.10, when i tried to install it said the Index.php failed to install correctly on the test, after reading through this thread a while i found a few occurences that were similar and when i tried what advice was given there, (install the index.php file manually) It now gives me this error message.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/a8835704/public_html/Sources/PortalAdminMain.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/a8835704/public_html/index.php on line 357

Please any help would be appreciated.

@tommybishop,
What steps did you take? Did you try to modify that file before installing SimplePortal?

Also, could you please attach your index.php file to your next post.

[tommybishop]

Ok, i backed out of where it was and tried to modify the file before i applied the mod, now i get this error message


Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/a8835704/public_html/Sources/PortalAdminMain.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/a8835704/public_html/index.php on line 356

Couldn't find an attachment option so below is the info on my Index.php file. thank you for the help sir.  any other info you need from me let me know

/* This, as you have probably guessed, is the crux on which SMF functions.
Everything should start here, so all the setup and security is done
properly.  The most interesting part of this file is the action array in
the smf_main() function.  It is formatted as so:

'action-in-url' => array('Source-File.php', 'FunctionToCall'),

Then, you can access the FunctionToCall() function from Source-File.php
with the URL index.php?action=action-in-url.  Relatively simple, no?

He meant attach is, as an attachment, not include the contents in a post. Just saving you some time and him having to tell you.

[tommybishop]

understood, couldn't find an attachment button anywhere so i did it that way, as i explained in my previous post

Click on "additional options" when you are making a post.

[tommybishop]

awesome, thank you very much, i edited my above post to include the index.php file in an attachment.  Sorry about that, been spending so much time on trying to set the forum up i haven't had a great chance to check out how to work with it.  Thanks again,  Any ideas on why it won't install correctly?

[LC]

@LadyChaos,
Some people are having issues with the shoutobox. Do you have any BBC mods installed? Like the AEVA mod. Does the shoutbox work if you uninstall them?

I have two BBC mods, the Aeva mod and the "tips and tricks" spoiler code BBC . I had both the shoutbox and Aeva running at the same time for quite a while without issues, until yesterday when I had to reinstall SP. I reinstalled SP before reinstalling Aeva this time. I still experienced that issue with the shoutbox without Aeva running or even in the smf files.

I had a thought about it possibly being the shoutbox and disabled it and now all is well. I just don't use the shoutbox. I had a similar issue happen with the AJAX chat mod a while back, I stopped using that as well. It just seems to cause a huge server load which I can't really find the cause for since my forum is small and only members can use the shoutbox (or back then the Ajax Chat).

It could just be that my server (since it's private) can't run a chat or shoutbox simply because of the heavy reliance between server/user calls for each message sent.  Performance gets shot to crap.

How many chats do your users post? The shoutbox isn't that server intensive, so I don't think its an issue with performance.

Well my members are chatty. On average, there is about 20-30 shoutbox messages a day. I tried toggling off/on the cache and minimizing the amount stored by the shoutbox, even put a 30 second delay. Nothing seemed to help.

[Nathaniel]

@tommybishop,
Install the mod (ignoring any errors for the index.php file) then upload the attached file.

@LadyChaos,
20-30 per day isn't really that many shouts, I was thinking that you might have performance issues with say 10+ per minute. Although if your users constantly refresh, or you have the autorefresh turned on, then that would put performance down quite a bit.

Is your issue happening frequently or constantly? If constantly, then performance is an unlikely cause.

[LC]

@LadyChaos,
20-30 per day isn't really that many shouts, I was thinking that you might have performance issues with say 10+ per minute. Although if your users constantly refresh, or you have the autorefresh turned on, then that would put performance down quite a bit.

Is your issue happening frequently or constantly? If constantly, then performance is an unlikely cause.

Well basically all was well ( for a least a month or so after install) then the shoutbox decided to go haywire out of the blue. So I would say it was a one time occurrence. It could be possible that someone was auto refreshing too much and froze it up, but then when I uninstalled/reinstalled, the shoutbox was doing the same thing. Hence why I decided to delete it.

The only thing I can think of that may or may not have affected it, would be a new theme I installed, but I had the theme on there for a little while before that happened and had no issues.

I updated my board and ever since then each time I try to edit SimplePortal through the administrator, I get this error:
"Fatal error: adminmain() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/blizz/public_html/forum/Sources/SPortalAdmin2.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/blizz/public_html/forum/Sources/Admin.php on line 624"

any clue whats wrong?
awesome mod btw!

[Nathaniel]

@LadyChaos,
Was there any specific content that had been posted in the shoutbox recently that had caused the issue? Can you check the shouts in your database (table: 'smf_sp_shouts') to see if the 'body' of the latest shouts (with the highest 'id_shout' values) contain any bbc or text that might be causing the issue?

I updated my board and ever since then each time I try to edit SimplePortal through the administrator, I get this error:
"Fatal error: adminmain() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/blizz/public_html/forum/Sources/SPortalAdmin2.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/blizz/public_html/forum/Sources/Admin.php on line 624"

any clue whats wrong?
awesome mod btw!

What version of SimplePortal are you running? The SPortalAdmin2.php file was removed from SimplePortal as of version 2.3.

[FFSFFS]

ok, so i did a mistake buit managed to fix it somehow , so I reinstalled the newest version of Simple portal, and when turning it on, I got this error:
"Type Action Description
1. Execute Modification ./index.php Test successful
  1. Replace ./index.php Test successful
  2. Replace ./index.php Test successful

2. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs.php Test failed

  2. Replace ./Sources/Subs.php Test failed
  3. Replace ./Sources/Subs.php Test failed
  4. Replace ./Sources/Subs.php Test failed
"

but I continued on with the installation, it dosen't give me a SimplePortal tab now.

thanks for the help earlier, I tend to be slower with these things .

[Nathaniel]

@FFSFFS,
Can you please attach your sources/Subs.php file?

[FFSFFS]

thank you.

[Nathaniel]

@FFSFFS,
Install SimplePortal and then upload the attached file.

Not sure why the install process wasn't working. I didn't have an issues at all, when I manually performed the edits to that file.

[FFSFFS]

after installing it again, I recieved more errors with the new Subs.php you gave me; my entire forum can't be accessed, I'm recieving the error:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*' in /home/blizz/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 906"

[FFSFFS]

sorry, I reuploaded the Subs.php I had uploaded earlier for you, and now I can access my forum but I still recieve this error when trying to edit SimplePortal:
"Fatal error: adminmain() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/blizz/public_html/forum/Sources/SPortalAdmin2.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/blizz/public_html/forum/Sources/Admin.php on line 670"

on the modifications page, it claims to be version 2.3.1 .

[Nathaniel]

@FFSFFS,
Can you please attach your 'sources/Admin.php' file?
