K-Detection: Detect OS & Browser Version

[TrueSatan]

By the sound of it you uploaded via ftp...not the best way to do it.

You need to go to ACP>Server Settings and set your forum language to English and not English utf8 and to ACP>Features and Options>Basic Settings and uncheck Enable user-selectable language support.

You need to go to ACP>Packages>Options>Installation Options and set the fields according to your hosting details then on the same page go to Cleanup Permissions and select All files Writeable and run the cleanup...check via ftp that CHMOD of all your files is now 777 or 775 according to the peculiarities of your hosting and if not recheck the settings you made in Installation Options and run the cleanup again...continue as needed until you get the right settings.

Next backup both your files and your database as you should prior to installing or uninstalling any mod or theme. Now go to ACP>Packages>Download Packages and use that to upload the mod to your site. Now you should be able to install it in the normal way providing your SMF version is on the list of those supported by this mod.

What, it is English and I have over 25 Mods installed and they work fine so why would one or two mods not show something as simple as the Install text...

[TrueSatan]

Some mods don't contain support for English utf8...it isn't a requirement. If you set your forum language to English utf8 they won't work properly.

I took the trouble to go through the whole process for you as your original reply suggested that you hadn't used the Package Manager to install the mod but had probably ftp'd it instead.

I made the further effort to detail how the mod might not show up as installable if the version of SMF you are using isn't supported by the mod...had you used the Package  Manager that would have prevented an unsupported mod being added.

she not work 113

[TrueSatan]

You can use it on newer SMF versions at your own risk (I've tested it and had no problems) by using version emulate:

Put ;emulate_version=1.1.2 at the end of the Package Manager URL

Version emulate is SMF's preferred way to handle mods for older SMF versions than the one you have.

This mod dont have the Iceweasel browser which users use insted of FireFox.

[brianjw]

I am not guaranteeing the following will work but I have attached k detection mod and I added the iceweasel browser to it. (not tested)

Any version works with 1.1.4?

[ksawery]

Yes! It works with a little modification...

[shumar]

What modification ?

[juanpons14]

yes what modification please put it here

[TrueSatan]

Edit the package info file to include SMF 1.1.4....that's the modification. You can avoid having to do this by using version emulate.

[juanpons14]

yes I know but in my theme i see in all people the image unknown what happended??

[TrueSatan]

You will need to manually edit the mod into a custom theme; this mod, like almost all mods, only installs automatically into the SMF Default theme.

[Black Knight Cro]

can you post mod for 1.1.4?
and btw i delete the mod and he is still there,just it says hxxp:unknown.how [nonactive] do i delete also that?

[TrueSatan]

Had you searched this forum you would have found answers to your problem have been posted a great many times.

Rather than asking for a new version you can simply use the version emulate system on the current version to get it to work on SMF 1.1.4

The way emulate version works is that you go to the SMF mods site and find the page for the mod you wish to use...or go to the first post in the support topic for it here where a link will be found. From that page you will find the last SMF version that the mod supports. This mod supports SMF 1.1.3 thus that is the last version in this instance. You would then add  &emulate_version=1.1.3 to the end of the package manager url in your forum. By this I mean use the ACP>Packages>Download browse to the package and then add the &emulate_version=1.1.3 to the URL prior to downloading the package into your forum.

[brianjw]

Ok, I've updated this mod to install and uninstall 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and 1.1.4.
You can download it in the bottom of my post.

Please use the emulate trick - see post below.

@ Brianjw

Have you asked the mod developer's permission? As you know SMF staff have requested that we don't update mods for active developers (the developer of this mod is an active developer) but instead suggest use of version emulate.

[brianjw]

I haven't asked his permission, so it's removed until further notice.

Ok, so is there anyway to make the mod show up the images... I just re-installed it and really don't want some posts having the images and some not - I will just remove the mod otherwise but thats my opinion... There's got to be some way - theres someway to everything
