Thanks allot mate

[shadow82x]

Your Welcome. Thanks for using smf..

What do I do with the package_info.xml and stuff? how do I edit that?

[shadow82x]

You can download something called Crimson Editor and you put the package_info.xml on the desktop or save it somewhere. You open up Crimson Editor and you will fine something like

Code Select Expand

<install for="1.1.0, 1.1, 1.1.2">

and

Code Select Expand

<uninstall for="1.0, 1.1, 1.1.2">

You can delete all the past versions so it just says

Code Select Expand

<install for="1.1.3"> and you do the same thing for uninstall

[MeRcChRiS]

well I did do that because im using 1.1.3 and it installed etc. THen it says to edit the index.template.php for custom themes, so I did. After i edited it, I got an Error on my forum.

Code Select Expand

<title>', $context['page_title'], '</title>';

what do I add after that then?

[shadow82x]

Where does it show that error?

[MeRcChRiS]

Well the the code in my last post isnt the error, im just saying what do i add after that code like it asks for my custom theme.

The error is showing because the code im adding after the code in my last post is wrong.

Works perfectly.  Excellent mod.  Wouldn't have a clue how to do this otherwise.  Thank you!

took me long enough to find where to set it up
but its SO AWESOME now that i figured it out lol

thanks!!

EDIT: it doesnt work in IE...can i fix that?

[karlbenson]

it would depend on what version of IE you are using?
And what type of icon you are are using.

IE6 and below can't show icons properly and won't show some at all.

[Jade Elizabeth]

me and my friend are using IE7
its a .gif image
and it doesnt work for either of us lol

[karlbenson]

whats the forum url?

[karlbenson]

I can't see why its not working.

Please can you try with another image?

[Jade Elizabeth]

sure
heres what the new one should look like:

  <its so lame....i like it lmao

[karlbenson]

Although it works in firefox/opera, it appears that the file MUST be named favicon.{filetype} to work in ie

eg

favicon.jpg
favicon.gif
favicon.ico

I think you called the first one flavicon.gif
