1- mods applied to your system often modify the SOURCE FILES.   - yes.
2- yes, this means that your system files may differ from the released/default files.
3- this is why we release PATCH updates instead of forcing everyone  to just load a clean set of files every time.

So, yes...  if you replaced your files with copies from the distribution archive, you MAY have removed code which was inserted by previously applied mods. (depending on what mods you have previously installed)

By "mods" do you mean changes I have made to the code, or SMF has made?

I have diff'd old.Subs-Post.php and Subs-Post.php and the only difference apart from the version number is
the old version has an extra blank line at line 3247.
So am I good to go now?

[Kindred]

By mods, I mean, typically, mod packages...   But that could also include manually modifications that you made.

Subs-post should be ok, as you checked...  And you lucked out...  But doing what you did is not the way to go about it in the future.

[Palloy]

Thank you, getting clearer now.

This might be put in a new thread:
The site has 3 SMF packages that will be split into 3 sites soon, two are now updated to 2.0.10, and I'm about to start on the third which is at 2.0.3 - backups in progress.

Unlike the other 2, when I hover over "Admin" I don't get a dropdown list, so I can't go to Package Manager.
Is this an indication of an error somewhere, or did Package Manager come in later?
Can I add Package Manager now?

Else should I do the manual edits at
http://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/index.php?action=upgrade;file=smf_patch_2.0.4.tar.gz;smf_version=2.0.3

Else what.

package manager has been a default feature since before 2.0 was released. it sounds like your theme does not support the drop down menus.

[Kindred]

just click on the admin link, and then, under main, in the admin secondary menu go to the package manager....

[Palloy]

There's no secondary drop-down menu.
Clicking Administration Center brings up the same page.
Screenshot attached.

[Illori]

are you a full admin?

[Palloy]

As far as I know, yes.  How can I check?
I'm not a moderator.

[Illori]

did you create the forum or someone else? do you know if you are in the administrators group or some other group?

[Palloy]

No, I didn't create the forum.
I am in the admin group, otherwise I wouldn't see Admin on the menu bar.
I'm not sure what meant by "full admin" earlier - are there different grades of admin? How do I tell?

[Illori]

there are permissions that can mimi administrator permissions but not have them all. it seems like you have some but not all.

[Palloy]

There is a subtle difference between the 3 forums - I was already a user of the one giving trouble and Admin privileges were added.
For the other two, a new user with Admin privileges was created for me.

Unless this mod is installed
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3919
(For which you should see a warning in the admin panel)

You are not an administrator. Can you access the membergroup configuration? If so you should be able to see yourself in the group with ID 1

[Illori]

can you view the groups and their permissions in the admin panel?

[Palloy]

No, I can't see membergroup permissions or anything like that.
I'm going to have to ask the owner to give me permissions properly.
Can you give me idiotproof directions on how to do that?
(he is more of an idiot than I am)

[Palloy]

OK, that's all fixed up now, thanks.
