All forum admins should look: SMF 2.0 iPhone and iPod Touch Theme (NOW FREE!)

[DEEPSNUYB]

Maybe the file on "Fabius85" server went bad?  If so only he can fix it.

That is a possibility.  No one can really provide feedback and test it if that is so.

[Fabius85]

I have installed the theme and am trying to install the mod but get the following error?  Please see attached.

1) Check if your SMF version is 2.0 RC2, if not, update it.
2) Go to Admin Panel -> Packages -> File Permissions then check "Use predefined permission profile:" selecting "Free - all files writable", then click Make Changes (you need to set your FTP login and password before you can apply changes).
3) Try to install the mod.

Should the iphone theme directory be empty?  I installed it via the panel but went via FTp to check it out and it is empty

[DEEPSNUYB]

Well I uploaded the files for the theme into the empty iphone theme directory and I still get that error.  Which files do you know that I have to manually change the file permissions and I'll do it that way.  TIA!

[simplefan90]

I used this before when it first came out, give a lot of errors in the error log. I had to manually edit it and patch some of the problems.

I am sure there are other ways.  But, this is how I installed the theme:
You will have to remove the theme in the admin panel.  Manually upload all the theme files.  Then install the theme in the admin panel by choosing the path of the theme not the zip file.

Assuming the zip file is ok then your file permissions can be at fault.   With the mod parse errors check out this link:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=363453.msg2483788#msg2483788

I did manually upload the iphone theme and set the correct paths.

The link you sent to me about the parse errors does not relate to the errors I'm having.

Also maybe I'm on crack but I have not installed the mod yet, JUST the theme.  On a whim I changed the theme to the iPhone theme on the PC, loaded up the website on the iPhone and got the iPhone version.  WTF am I missing here?

[Fabius85]

install the theme, upload the mod zip file into your /Packages/ directory. then via FTP give all your forum directories and files a CHMOD 0777
after that, install the mod, that should work.

What does the mod do exactly.  Like I said, I uploaded the files for the iphone theme, changed the theme to the iphone and now it shows the iphone theme on the iphone without the mod files.

Does the mod files allow the iphone to change to the iphone theme while the PC stays in the regular theme, is that it?

ALSO IS IT SAFE TO CHMOD ALL THE FILES AND DIRECTORIES TO 777?

[Fabius85]

the mod checks your user agent/browser and assigns the theme you selected for that user agents. so you and your users dont need to select it by hand.
it allows you to set smf4iphone for iphone/ipod touch and some other mobile devices, curve mobile theme for other mobile devices, another theme for pc browsers, etc...

chmod 777 is safe cause there are .htaccess files hidden in every folder of your forum, so no one except users with access to your ftp can view directory lists or write on your files.
after installing the mod you can even reset the permission you want. chmod 777 is finalized to let you install the mod without having errors (giving high level permissions is required to install most of the mods for smf, not only smf4iphone mod)

Thanks this is good education.  Thanks so much.  So how can I 777 everything in ONE SWOOP?  I'm using an FTP program and I can right click on the main directory but I do not think that will CHMOD every sub directory and files in it.

[Fabius85]

use FileZilla, it's free, and it allows you to CHMOD all files and folders with 1 click

I WaNa Install it in My 2.0 RC2 What to Do? ? ?

I WaNa Install it in My 2.0 RC2 What to Do? ? ?

1) Install the theme (i would suggest to copy smf4iphone theme folder the /Themes/ dir of your forum and thene select the local path in theme managment section).
2) Copy the mod package to your /Packages/ dir, then go o to Admin Panel -> Packages -> File Permissions then check "Use predefined permission profile:" selecting "Free - all files writable", then click Make Changes (you need to set your FTP login and password before you can apply changes).
3) Install the mod.
4) Set up your mod preferences.

that's all
