I want to MANUALLY install this mod, so I can uninstall it when it corrupts my forum. I have an active forum, always members online, so I cannot experiment too much without bothering them.

sorry but new in these kind of stuff. i read the manual installation but i can't see a mod or xml in my package. i just saw modification english. i tried the other link but its a page cannot be displayed.

thanks for you help.... but still not working.

@ Celine

Your package of this mod is the mod. The "xml" as you put it, is the file with the extension .xml in the package...in this case there are two such files in the package...install-rc2.xml and the package_info file. The edits are detailed in install-rc2.xml.

The package Parser is also hosted on the following links:

@ chilling

Either wait for an update or change the package_info.xml to add compatibility with SMF 1.1.3 for yourself.

Please note that all the fails shown in your report mean is that other mods have affected the files this mod seeks to modify...there is nothing wrong with the mod you just have to do a manual installation.

Well i downloaded that and tried to install arcade .. it was installed fine but ... i was unable to install other mods  .. there few errors popping up when i removed arcade every thing went fine i am disappointed

[TrueSatan]

@ chilling

Unless you tell us what the errors were (full details please) it's impossible to make any meaningful comment on them.

[chilling]

Well TrueSatan if u can spare a few mins for me i will llet u know the full details

5. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed

same error even after trying the latest version.

and i was ablle to install the mod after reinstalling a fresh copy of SMF 1.1.3. but the problem arises when i try to install other mods .. each and every mod gives a manage.permissions.php error(only after installing arcade before installing all mods)

OK...the index.template.php fail is almost certainly due only to the placement of the arcade button in the main navigation bar...if other buttons have already been put into it by other mods then getting a fail on that is not at all unusual and it affects almost all mods that put a button into the nav bar...the solution is to do a manual installation (though you can safely ignore that particular error and let the package manager do the rest of the installation then only manually install into the index.template.php (in general don't ignore errors and proceed with a package manager installation...unless you know what you are doing and what the consequences will be.)

Your manage.permissions.php problem is due to the arcade mod affecting that file (changing/editing it)...when other mods that need to edit that file try to do so the file is not the same as the unaltered file they were designed to edit and thus you get a fail...not the fault of any mod and again you need to do manual installations when you get such errors.

These problems are very common...not in exactly the form you quote or in exactly those files but generally speaking when a mod tries to edit a file that another mod has already edited you may get a fail...the more editing a mod does the more likely this is to happen.

Can ya please help me in setting up my forums ? i am really pissed off doing it from scratch for 5 times now i would be so thank full to u if u can help me in this regard since i am a bit noobe in this case guess u can understand what am upto

[TrueSatan]

To be honest with you...and I'm not just trying to fob you off...setting up a forum is fairly easy and doing it teaches you the skills you need to keep the forum running. Doing it for you wouldn't help you in the long run as you'd still be stuck when it came to upgrading components, and the core software too, to say nothing of when/if you wanted to add extras to it (as most people find that they do after a while.)

I wonder if you've considered Charter Membership...have a read about it on this link:

http://www.simplemachines.org/charter/

...long term the extra help and support that will give you from a lot of knowlegable people is probably better than any one person could provide.

One of the things you really ought to do from the outset in any event is to run at least one test forum on which to experiment and learn without causing problems to your main/live/production forum. You can blow away the mistakes on the test forum with a re-install any time you like with no harm done.

We have now got extremely off topic with your last post and this reply so might I request that as this seems much more appropriate to "General English Support" you post a help request there?

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=9.0

I'm sure that if you do so others will be able to offer advice that might also prove most valuable to you and that way your needs might be best met with your own skill set improving to a point where you'd be more able and feel more confident in setting up your forum.
