Illori told me someone here must clean up my mess on the TinyPortal Mod.

did you uninstall it using the package manager? if not then you need to post in the support thread so they can help you clean up your mess.

I don't have an Admin.php file and yes, I did try and failed to create one from scratch because my version of MyAdminphp doesn't like m and n characters coming from Macs (I'm on one).

A request for help would probably get somebodies attention quicker than stating somebody MUST clean up YOUR mess.

I am sorry. I should have said "can". I am only frustrated. Long story. I dislike being bullied, clothahump.

Based on your last post Celia, I have no idea what the problem is that you are having. Could you describe what you have done, and what is the problem that you are seeing?

How was I bullying You?

Can I suggest deleting the whole forum, install fresh copy and connect to the old DB, then re-install any Packages required, easy fix if Celia is unable to edit files.

I am disabled. I have Cerebral Palsy. I am dyslexic. I am battling ovarian cysts because in my family they are genetic. My mother has ovarian cancer. I am medically depressed. I am sorry I wrongly perceived your words as bullying and I forgive you. We are both human and we each make mistakes. I am truly sorry I upset you.

clothahump · January 27, 2012, 02:28:26 PM

Didn't upset me.

Celia N. Foster · January 27, 2012, 02:29:55 PM

Okay. No harm done then.

May I then ask how to reconnect databases with detailed instructions and troubleshooting solutions?

clothahump · January 27, 2012, 03:12:42 PM

Do a fresh install and use the DB info from the old settings.php file, upgrade DB, re-install Packages and Themes.

BEWARE: It is not something you should undertake unless you are competent and above all confident with doing this sort of thing.

Celia N. Foster · January 27, 2012, 03:15:47 PM

I am currently not one of those you are describing following "BEWARE:". I hope to learn someday the very best I know how to.

Who installed SMF for you originally, can you get them to do the job?

Celia N. Foster · January 27, 2012, 03:21:31 PM

Ricky. He told me he is busy.

clothahump · January 27, 2012, 03:25:06 PM

Busy or unsure of what he is doing? that will be the best way to go.

Hello,

I guess I was too busy lately, as I told you earlier, you are having a complex setup to do simple thing. As I promised , I will show you a simple setup using all SMF where you can do everything you are doing with WP+SMF+some gallery.

I will make test installation and show you.!

P.S.- My gallery is on Flickr, WP and SMF are separately installed.

IchBin™ · January 27, 2012, 04:44:39 PM

If you download the large upgrade package for the version of SMF you are using, you can then unzip that and upload the files to your host replacing all the existing ones. This should bring your forum to a default install without messing with the Settings.php file. Note that this will only happen if you use the large upgrade package. If you use the install package your Settings.php file will get overwritten. You should be able to do this without having to be one of the "those people".

I would advise you to make a backup before you make any changes though.

Celia N. Foster · January 27, 2012, 04:52:27 PM

Understood.

clothahump · January 27, 2012, 05:02:57 PM

Didn't think of that way round, sorry.

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out where a block comes from, whether it's a built in block to Tiny Portal or if it's from somewhere else entirely.

When I visit a topic on our website above the topic, is something named 'tag this topic'

It allows me to assign a tag to the topic as a new one, or assign one of the tags that I've already assigned to some other topic on our site.

Is this a TP block?

I ask because it seems broken in the sense that I can't keep that block minimized, there is a + sign next to it but it only minimizes that block for that page view, once I move on to another topic, it's fully expanded again.

Thanks if somebody can tell me more about it, or how to fix it, if it's a TP block itself.
