Hi there.

I have the same dilemma I just installed this mod on 1.1.10 and got this error..

"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."

:(

hope you could help us out. thank you. :)

Bug with SMF 1.1.10.

Download the package, open it, perform the edit descriped in this post, recompress it, install.

PS: it may not be exactly '1.1.4' for the search text, but it will be similar.

ok should I re-install? will it overwrite my database files as well?

pardon my ignorance I'm quite new to this.. :-[

Nathaniel

No, this is a normal mod for SMF, you install it via the Package Manager. It will not overwrite your database.

v1.02
Cleaned the structure of the mod package.
Updated the 'version checking' to work around the SMF package manager version bug for SMF 1.1.10.
Confirmed compatibility with SMF 2 RC2 and curve.

Sorry about not answering some of the support requests here, I will respond to some of the latest ones now.

"The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted. "

What should be the problem?

Try uploading the package via FTP into your 'Packages' directory.

I installed it and modified the boardindex, however it doesn't show up on my custom theme, only the default one...

Any ideas of the cause of this?

You will need to edit your custom theme, refer to the instructions on the mod page.

Hi,

I think there's a little mistake in the package-info, because it should be "2.0 RC2" and not "2 RC2", that's why no installation is found when we try to install on a 2.0 RC2

By the way, after the fix,  this mod is working well

flamechica

I am using RC2 & when I tried to install it said that the package was corrupt or not for my version....I see others had this problem and you told them to use the current package, but I did use the current package and it still wont work.

Nathaniel

Yeah, it should be 2.0 RC2, the package manager isn't altogether flexible unfortunately. I will update the package tommorrow.

That issue was actually just for Charter Preview I believe, but it would have stopped it from being parse on the mod site. Anyway, I have updated the package to fix that small type, although I didn't bother updating the version number.

After having this working fine on the last 3 versions, today I updated to RC2 2.0 and I just get an icon and no list now.
Any idea what I've done wrong?
No custom themes used just the Curve theme.

@kith,
Were there any errors with the install process?

Not that I remember, no.
Although I tried it manually first as I usually do it that way as I've never had the installer work.
Then I restored all the files I altered to the originals and tried the installer, same result.
I'm doing a custom theme at the moment and then will try a manual install with that unless you have any ideas?

kith

Okay I think it must be something I am doing wrong in the Board index template?
firstly I think I forgot to change 1 to 10.
I have done that now but just get a link now
http://www.clanvmk.com/clanvmk/forum/index.php
Instead of the 10 posts.

So how can I change it from a link to the 10 posts to display as it did before the 10 on the main page instead of a link?

Also how do I change it back to the 10 recently updated topics rather than posts, I've forgotten how to?

Great mod! This is what I've been looking for. I manually installed it into 2.0 RC1.2. Thanks !!

Hello,

I do not want the recent posts to display the board name.

I have removed
b.id_board, b.name AS board_name,

from the subs_recent; however am now getting errors in the error log. What can I do or delete also so that I do not get any errors in the log?

The package uploaded to my server, yet I still get the " The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF." message.

I was wondering what code actually determines the list of topics. I'm trying to get some kind of function that lists the topics of a specific board descending from most recent. I need it to output to a file so that I can access that file for other functions.

I know this is asking a bit much, but is there any way you could help me out with this? Thanks.

I am using 1.1.11.
Your mod says it works up to 1.1.10, so I am not sure if it will work for me.

However, I get the "The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF" message.

For some reason my upload doesn't like tar.gz, but I converted that to a zip file anyway, but still no go.

I am not sure what is wrong.  I suppose my first question is.. 
Does it work with 1.1.11 ?
