Hello people,

My name is Niels and i have currently a SMF forum running but everytime while i install a mod it destroys the template. Like with the NChat mod it will put this code:

Code Select Expand

/* NChat by ThisMod.com */ $txt['nchat_name'] = 'NChat Shoutbox'; $txt['nchat_chatbox'] = 'Chat Box'; $txt['nchat_save'] = 'Save'; $txt['nchat_clean'] = 'Clean All'; $txt['nchat_blod'] = 'B'; $txt['nchat_italic'] = 'I'; $txt['nchat_underline'] = 'U'; $txt['nchat_default_color'] = 'Default color'; $txt['nchat_red'] = 'Red'; $txt['nchat_teal'] = 'Teal'; $txt['nchat_blue'] = 'Blue'; $txt['nchat_green'] = 'Green'; $txt['nchat_brown'] = 'Brown'; $txt['nchat_orange'] = 'Orange'; $txt['nchat_admin_mess'] = 'Admin Message'; $txt['nchat_order'] = 'Order'; $txt['nchat_order_first'] = 'First line on top'; $txt['nchat_order_last'] = 'Last line on top'; $txt['nchat_sound'] = 'Enable Sound

All above the template so above everything. I try'd to reinstall the files and overwrite the database with or currently one and still we are having the same problem. Is it something in our database? I used also the default theme on it and it still occured.

Thanks for reading and for the help.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi nielsbon1, your best bet would be to post in the support topic for NChat; http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=412967

With that said it could be something to do with missing PHP opening and closing tags '<?php' and '?>' in the language file for NChat, make sure these tags exist in the relevant language file and that the NChat code is being added within the opening and closing PHP tags and not outside of them.

I'm going to mark this topic as solved, if you don't get any help from the NChat support topic please post back here.
