Uncooperative database or SMF...not sure which.

I had already reuploaded the file by the time the email notify for this came into my inbox, it's still there.  I checked the file anyway and it's still there.

Either that or I'm moving faster than my FTP program can handle.  It's still scrolling stuff.

If those // Pogo Awards lines are still there after your FTP program stops "scrolling stuff", download Themes/default/index.template.php via FTP, open it in a text editor and look at the start of the file. Can you show us the first 10 lines?

Sure can.  I can grab it right out of my file manager without having to download anything (yay cPanel!).

<?php

/*   This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
   contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
   the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
   menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
   template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
   the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

   The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

That the right stuff?  And would reinstalling the mods make the message go away?  I did have more scribble than that, but after uploading a bunch of files again most of it went away.

Yep, that's the right stuff (the one that should be there, not the one that shouldn't). So those offending lines are elsewhere.

No, I think that reinstalling the mods would probably not resolve this particular issue.

Download all of the forum directory into your desktop. Do you have a text editor that can search in all files inside directories? If your PC is running Windows, you can also open the directory with Windows Explorer and press the F3 key to find where Pogo Awards is. Use these options:



If your PC is running Linux, use grep or a visual search tool.

I've read good reviews about Notepad++. Among other things, it can find text in files inside directories.

For quick results, download the zipped distribution of Notepad++, run notepad++.exe from within the ZIP archive and press Ctrl+Shift+F or select "Find in files..." in the Search menu. Use options similar to below:



When you find where the offending lines are, delete them and reupload the edited file(s). Make sure that you only delete lines from the start of file(s), before the opening <?php tag, and of course keep a backup copy.

If the problem persists, feel free to ask for help again.

I'd put 10 bux on it that they're in /Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

At the bottom.

Check to make sure that everything is ABOVE the ?>

Code Select Expand

// Pogo Awards adminIndex text strings. $txt['awards'] = 'Awards'; $txt['pa_view_album'] = 'View member\'s badge album.'; $txt['pa_mods'] = 'Mods'; $txt['whoallow_pogoawards'] = 'Managing Awards.';

Those are language strings, as defined by $txt

[Mish]

The last ten lines of Modifications.english.php

$txt['permissionname_payPal_view'] = 'View Donation Page';
$txt['permissionhelp_payPal_view'] = 'Allow the people to view the Donation Page.  If not set, the people will not see the page.';
?>
// Pogo Awards adminIndex text strings.
$txt['awards'] = 'Awards';
$txt['pa_view_album'] = 'View member\'s badge album.';
$txt['pa_mods'] = 'Mods';
$txt['whoallow_pogoawards'] = 'Managing <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=awards">Awards</a>.';

So I delete everything after ?> right?

[metallica48423]

Thats your culprit.


No, just move it above it.  copy & paste

[Mish]

That did it!!  Thank you so much!!!

[metallica48423]

No problem.  Enjoy
