ILLEGAL COPY OF SMF

[Amay_Zing]

Hi

I just upgraded from 1.1 RC3 to 1.1.1 and its says this at the bottom:

Sorry, the copyright must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is using an ILLEGAL copy of SMF!

What has gone wrong?

[Oldiesmann]

Re-upload the Themes directory as something didn't get uploaded properly.

[Alt-Ctrl]

Sorry for bringing this up again.

I get the same message, but the only thing I've done is to try a new theme. Should I try to reinstall it?

[NEMINI]

is the theme written for the version of smf you are using?

[Alt-Ctrl]

I got SMF 1.1.2 and the theme is this one. http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=116

So I guess thats whats causing it?



edit:
One other thing, as you can see. The theme is working fine in the forum, but when you are viewing the portal itself, the theme colors dosen't show up. Does that allso have anything to do with the versions?
Or should I ask for help at the portal team?

[NEMINI]

I don't know anything about mk portal but if its like TP, then you need the portal version of the theme.

[redone]

TP is not like mkportal in the respect of there being portal themes. Whist there is some MK portal skins most users tend to run the forum wrapped within MK portal and this does not require a special theme.

It could be a potential issue with the CSS of the theme your using. What happens when you switch to another theme?

p.s Besides the notice about illegal copy of SMF indicates some missing files from your template.

[Alt-Ctrl]

I'l try to reinstall the theme to try to fix the indication of illegal copy.

Other themes works perfectly with the portal, byt they don't have that kind of backround with color that gets lighter/darker regarding if you look down or up on the page.

[redone]

If I get time I will take a look on my board. I have not used MK portal in sometime though so I am a little rusty.

See also: What does the notice saying that im running an illegal SMF install mean?

[Alt-Ctrl]

Ok, I'l try to contact the guy that made the theme.

Thanks

[Alt-Ctrl]

Ok, I didn't get any response from him.

But I have noticed that I get the error even with the default theme, have there happened something under the upgrade from the old version maybe?

How can I fix this?

[NEMINI]

are your language files all up to date?

[Alt-Ctrl]

hmm, how can I check that?

[redone]

Go into the admin panel of your SMF forum.

Version Information>(more detailed)

if you haven't installed any mods yet, you could try and re-upload the entire default theme folder.  This folder is in /Themes/

It seems to be missing files.  I'd download the 1.1.2 install file, unzip it on your pc, go into /Themes/ and take 'default' and upload it.

I get this upgrading from 1.0.10 to 1.1.2:

Sorry, the copyright must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is missing the copyright message for SMF so they can rectify the situation. Display of copyright is a legal requirement. For more information on this please visit the Simple Machines website.

The old forum had a custom theme (with the SMF link and all), I've renamed the old theme and uploaded again the Default one and Language files but I can't see any improvement.

Upgrade Complete


Maybe I should had changed the Theme back to the Default one before the upgrade but now...

How can I log in? What do I do?

I've tried twice 4 times upgrade.php

It keeps saying "Sorry, the copyright must be in the template." I mean that this is the only text that shows up, I can't log in or see the Index, browse, etc.

I've even deleted the old custom Theme.

[metallica48423]

as i said, if theres no mods installed, try uploading the ENTIRETY of the /Themes folder from the install package.

if there are mods, then make sure theme_copyright();  ( i think thats the function) is echoed in index.template.php

[M70]

as i said, if theres no mods installed, try uploading the ENTIRETY of the /Themes folder from the install package.

Already done, but I'm doing it again now.

Ouch! There was one mod (Mambo Integration 1.0), how can I remove that?

[metallica48423]

what i'd do is uninstall that mod, and then replace all your themes with fresh copies (esecially the default theme)

download the 1.1.2 install package, unzip it, grab the Themes Directory, and write over whats there

and then reinstall the mod.
