I think I'm sort of screwed with that one!  Any idea why I can't track IPs either?

[kat]

No idea with the IP thing, I'm afraid. Never used it.


Those failed tests... You could try to make the edits manually.


Just check the parser on the SP download page. It'll need quite a bit of manual editing with the custom themes you have, too.


You have a backup, after all. If you screw an edit, you can always replace it with a copy of the one from the Fantastico backup that you have.


Bloody lucky that I found that backup, innit?


I dunno why I even thought to look, there, for that.


Must've been either pure luck or some kind of divine intervention, that.

[Beefstick]

You are awesome!  I owe you a dinner. 

I will likely try to make the edits since the homepage was a big part of my site.  Now that I have a local copy of that backup, and I free up the space on my server right?

I'm not exactly what's involved in an upgrade to RC2, but I'm not to sure I want to know now...

[Beefstick]

Ok...I seriously need to get some sleep....supposed to be up soon. LOL

I will pick up tomorrow.  I can't thank you enough for your help.  Even without a test site or even homepage, it's great to actually have the main content available.  I seriously felt like I was going to have a heart attack.  You are awesome! 

[kat]

No sweat, mate. Glad I could help, Honest!


Upgrading will DEFINITELY screw most, if not all of your mods.


As I said, my site's v1.1.11 and it'll stay that way, until v2 goes Gold and other people have worked out all the bugs.


I'm playing with RC3 on my test site and, I have to say, I MUCH prefer v1.1.11, anyway.


Yeah, you can free-up the space by deleting that backup, now that you have it on your computer.


I'm guessing, though, that the backup will be done, again, automatically, when Fantastico feels like doing it. So, you'll lose that space, again.


Mind you, you could probably gain quite a bit of space by deleting all that Tiny Portal stuff, if you don't need it.

Topic marked as...

[Beefstick]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I was just able to go in and manually change the failed test files for SimplePortal and it's now working.  I was getting errors in the blocks, but I was able to use some of the backup files to fix it.

I really can't thank you enough for your help! 

[kat]

For people like you, Beefy, it's a genuine pleasure.

[Beefstick]

Well, I guess it's not over yet.  All links (like show stats, ban user, etc) in members' profiles are not showing.  Also, most members' avatars are not working either.

[kat]

Just to check something, try going to Admin>Packages>options. At the bottom, "Standard" will already be checked. Hit "Change file permissions" and wait for a while, for it to propagate through.


Does that help?


If not, perhaps you could set up a temporary admin account, for me, and I can have a butcher's, for you.

No change.

I noticed I could get the profile links back by changing the forum to "English" but they go away once I log out and log back in.    I can get them back again, by changing to English UTF8, then BACK to English.  This is bizarre.

I will attach a couple of pictures to show what I'm talking about.  If you think you could help, I will certainly make you an admin account.

I just tried to access your site via ftp and you've changed the details. I was gonna try something...

[Beefstick]

Sorry about that.  I changed it back. 

[kat]

No sweat, mate.


Security's important.


If your forum suddenly dies, let me know...


It won't be for a few minutes......

[kat]

Try it now...

[Beefstick]

No change.

Do you know that you have language files for every language on Earth?

[Beefstick]

Do you know that you have language files for every language on Earth?

LOL Yep, I know the files are a bit of a mess now. 

[kat]

A lot of those files are empty, as it happens...


This is what I'm gonna do....


I'm gonna download all the english utf-8 files.


Then, I'm gonna delete them from your site. (It's gonna take a while to go through the list).


If it works, great!


If it doesn't, I can put them back.

[kat]

Quite a few of the english utf-8 files are zero byte files. Probably why it doesn't work.


In fact, quite a lot of the other language files are, too.
