I just have some question before I attempt to install this mod, so I'm not surprised by anything.

1.does this mod v2.3 install entirely through the package manager?

2. will I have any issues with the mods I have installed already? which are.
1.     Signature Settings Mod     1.1     
2.    SMF 1.0.12 / 1.1.4 / 2.0 b1.1 Update    1.0    
3.    Display Signatures Only Once Per Page    1.2    
4.    MessagePreviewOnHover    1.5    
5.    Users Online Today Mod    1.4.0


3. Do I have to go into FTP to install anything.

reason I ask is because  it says this --> *You must be logged in to be able to download the files* in the description.

1. Yes - though if you use a custom theme you'll need to edit that theme manually.
2. Not that I'm aware of.
3. Nope though you may need FTP permissions entered as you install the modification - it will ask.

As for the reason you ask, just be sure to download the modification from here at this site.

I was trying to install manually on the CORP-LT114v1 theme, but I came to an impass when trying to edit index.template.php

Can anyone show me how to do it, or edit it for me?
Here is my file:

<?php
// Version: 1.1; index

/* 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.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:
http://www.simplemachines.org/

Search for Daniel15''s mod parser here, it is very handy just for this kind of thing. It will tell you precisely what files to edit and where to apply them

1. Yes - though if you use a custom theme you'll need to edit that theme manually.
2. Not that I'm aware of.
3. Nope though you may need FTP permissions entered as you install the modification - it will ask.

As for the reason you ask, just be sure to download the modification from here at this site.

OK, it's the default theme (I liekd it so I stuck with it) and those mods..
by FTP permissions what do you mean?

I've already looked at this, but for some reason the index.template.php file is not set up the way a default file is. The first thing that the SMF Parser tells me to look for is  this: <body>';
but searching through my index.template.php does not find this phrase.

well, then try widening your search a bit. it should only have one body tag, so search for just body

C'mon, I'm not that stupid!  ;)

I know how to deal with the first example. I was giving it as just an example. To ellaborate, the second replace instance is supposed to look for:
</td>

My problem is that my index.template.php is quite a bit different from the default. I am not a PHP coder, so I wouldn't have a clue where to find the instance the mod needs replaced.

The third search is for this:
template_menu();
but my file has two of these phrases, neither one appearing EXACTLY as the mod (or parser) specify. (e.g. without the semi-colon)

I was hoping that someone who IS a php coder might have done this before, or help me out on this.  :)

metallica48423

Hey its not for me to judge one's intelligence.  Just that the body thing was easy to track down :P

i'd imagine theres a lot of instances of </td>, is there anything else it searches for along with... what is it trying to add? (might be able to figure it out *maybe*.. but to be certain the guys over at http://www.smfads.com could probably help better than I can, as i have never actually used the mod :P

With the template_menu(); one, there should be the function definition and the call to it (the call to it is actually before the definition)

The function call would usually have the semicolon on it as it signals the end of a statement, in this case a call to a function, but this one does not do that, it drops from an echo to call the function.


<div class="wrapper">
<div id="nav">
',template_menu(),'
</div>
</div>


This can cause problems/errors on some PHP setups however, so i'm not sure why the mod author opted to take that method.  But that is the function call

Personally i'd change that to:


<div class="wrapper">
<div id="nav">';

template_menu();
                echo '
</div>
</div>


so that you can add the ad management code after it as is from what you're given (elsewise you'd get a php error most likely)

The function declaration will say something like 'function template_menu() {'

Does this look right??

Does it normally not test extract files?

Also, the install.php files doesn't show test.  I'm trying to understand all this stuff so that's why I ask.


Installing this package will perform the following actions:
   Type    Action    Description
1.    Execute Code    install.php    
2.    Execute Modification    ./index.php    Test successful
3.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/Subs.php    Test successful
4.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/index.template.php    Test successful
5.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php    Test successful
6.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/Display.template.php    Test successful
7.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php    Test successful
8.    Execute Modification    ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php    Test successful
9.    Extract File    ./Sources/Ads.php    
10.    Extract File    ./Sources/LoadAds.php    
11.    Extract File    ./Themes/default/Ads.template.php    
12.    Extract File    ./Themes/default/languages/Ads.english.php

If you don''t see any red warning about failed install, then go ahead and install the mod


speedfreak87

OK it's installed.. now I have to make an add and check to makes sure people can see it.

Have I mentioned the SMF community is awesome? well you guys and girls are. you're very informative and helpful. The old phpbb boards I was on they were full of themselves. You rock!
