Template changes from SMF 1.1 RC2 to 1.1 RC3

[Gargoyle]

So no changes to any of the profile templates ??

Very cool. Thanks for posting this!!

[forsakenlad]

There are changes but I haven't posted them as templates don't modify them a lot.

[Gargoyle]

I see...

I added some user fields from one of [unknown]'s tutorials and that's why I ask about it.

[forsakenlad]

Well then the easiest way to update them would be to copy over the new Profile.template.php from the default theme and redo the changes.

[Gargoyle]

Yeah I figured that...

I have a test site so no big deal I can take my time... Once I have my test site up and running if I just moved all of the files from the test site into my production site and applied the needed database upgrade I should be good to go right ??

I am hoping that is the case... The MODS are the same on both sites so the db tables for those should not need updating just the RC-3 updates right ??

I think I am right.... Just need the reassurance is all..

[forsakenlad]

Yep you will have no problems just do the template changes and then upload the upgrade package and run upgrade.php Though I advise you to check if the mods you will be using are compatible with SMF 1.1 RC3 before using them on a production enviroment.

[Gargoyle]

Yes all of the mods will be installed and tested on my test forum running RC-3 before it goes live.

Thanks for the re-assurance!!

Well I would be glad if you had comitted and published some other template files. Thanks.

I will m8, I'm limited on my internet connection until the 14th, so Ive been pretty idle lately other than a few theme conversions from Nuke to SMF/TP. I havnt been as active here on SMF as on TP simply because I didnt want to confuse anyone with TP info on themes. But when I convert my themes up to RC3 and TPv9.5+ it will give me a good chance to evalute some of the other pages as some use admin.template, recent.template, whotemplate, not sure what else I'll have to review them.

My Themes: StormLrd

The reason they arent in the list here is that I go straight to the SMF with the Tiny Portal mod already incorporated into it. Some of my themes could be reversed to straight SMF but they wont look as good.

But Im very greatful for your work and others here at SMF m8 so keep it up

I would like to request you to post all the changes in other files.
My themes become useless du to the changes.

[forsakenlad]

You don't need to update all of the files, which theme are you using and what templates does it contain?

[rongup]

Well i made many changes to themes to give them the desired effects.
I also included the admin files for CSS changes.
If there are great changes please let me know of them.

The themes i made are:

http://themes.simplemachines.org/index.php?lemma=75
http://themes.simplemachines.org/index.php?lemma=77

Hmm... I wish I'd looked for this info before updating my theme. I've made changes in a lot more files than the ones listed here, but it would have been helpful regardless!

This is the only thing about SMF that really gets my back up, I have customised loads on my site all through the template files, and you only seem to post the changes to the major files, I have chenged the profile files, how do I know if I am missing features ??

I love the templating system and think it is the most powerful ever, that said you need to pull your finger out with regards to keeping designers updated with every single change. so themes don't end up missing out on major features.

Forsakenland Thanks for all the effort you put into this updating my theme was a breeze and am inspired to make another one

great work

Agreed. In the end, ultimatelly we will need a list of all modifications made, not just the ones made to the files only the majority of the themes use. One of the great reasons why being Open-Source is good. It promotes betterment for everybody by improving everyone's coding development.

Whats really needed is this overview from way back to 1.0.5-1.0.8...since 1.0.x, 1.1RC1 and 1.1RC2 each have been out so long, lots of themes are based on them. to update you should really just look up the right conversion doc and go from there. I will attempt to set this up.

Btw..the changes in style.css from 1.1RC2 to 1.1RC3 is really just to add the AJAX notifier. I don't why changes in the tabs styles were listed, maybe a very early version of 1.1Rc2 was used.

Can someone please explain what this thread is about to me? I'm new at this and I really don't get it, but it looks useful.

[3guk]

Bloc if you could do that that would be superb.

The last mod (AJAX) to 'index template' is not working for me.  I get the following error:

Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/smFox/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.
parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'
