Hmm. The swedish file is Modifications.Swedish-utf8.php, and the installed language Swedish-utf8, both with utf8 and all?
This is going to sound silly, also, but still: are you sure these errors are new? That is, you still get them now.

The gallery seems to be working properly. Swedish language is utf-8

What will happen if I un-install my whole crappy forum and install a fresh one without the twitter mod and link the database to it. Will it xxxx up as well ::)

I'm very close to pull the plug of everything and leave the country!  :'(

Twitter mod is not in the language files, so for that one is expected to give errors and not display its text, for the moment. It should be reinstalled, fixed, or removed. Fixing it means mainly looking at the instructions for manual installation and checking the files for the proper code or text, to add when missing. Removing it means mainly looking at the same instructions, but in order to revert the files.
But the others should work (with no errors like those displayed). I'm not sure why the errors appear otherwise.

As for reinstalling, you could consider downloading the large upgrade package, and uploading the files over yours. (except upgrade.php itself)
They will overwrite the mods, yes, and be like a fresh install, except that the link to the database is preserved.

I'll try out that one first and see what happens.  :)
If that won't work I can just go either way. This is so how I've planned to celebrate the national holiday of Midsummer, NOT. >:(

I'll get back to you soon and tell you what the large upgrade will do for me ;D

As always, please do remember to make yet one more database backup.

First step is done. I removed all the crappy files and ftp:d over some new fresh ones.

The forum looked ok  :D BUT.. >:( >:(

Installing first mod (ad management) went smooth, second mod went smooth according to messages on screen and than

Now it does, am looking for the SP-files here and there. Seems it didn't install the mod as it should have even though it seem to go so smooth...

Is the /Sources directory writable? Perhaps you could try chmodding it to 777.
And, I get the package manager didn't write any file in /Sources? (surely you can do so yourself, but it should have done it)

Now I'm back to having a forum installed that seems to work.  :) No mods installed!

I really need the simple portal to be installed  so if I'm giving at another go. Which files/folders should I make writeable. Should I go ahead and upload a temp-file to the packages?

1. Please try assigning the /Sources directory permissions to 777 (though you might keep in mind to reduce it at least at 755 later). You could also make a folder "Temp" in /Packages, yes, chmodded 777.

2. You could make the manual installation, to avoid surprises. You can find the modifications that need to be done to the files on the mod page, and "parse" them. Though for Simple Portal there may be many of them.

But before anything, a question please, did you replace files again, or did you hit "uninstall" for Simple portal?

Okay. You can take whichever way you wish now.
I suppose you made sure that it's a compatible version.
If you go for option 1, package manager, I would upload the package in /Packages and install it from the package manager.

I've tried everything. Mods are laying behind and seem to be removable and new ones uninstallable.

Now - I worked on this the last hour or so. :)
It seemed to work fine now, if you can after some testing, just confirm that everything is OK,
we'll mark this solved ;)
