maybe your ModSettings.php isn't writeable? Chmod it 777? Or maybe you have some other mod installed which also used ModSettings.php and clashes with this one?

I have it installed on 1.1 Final and it works to so maybe it is working but conflicting with packages people have installed.

is it definitely working for 1.1.1 AND tiny portal latest version 0.9.7.1?

Just checking before installing

*bump* sorry but I need to know so I can upgrade - thanks

Just..someone tell me how to do it manually..Package Parser doesn't show it as a valid xhtml

http://server.daniel15.com/smf/package.php

So I cannot find a a way to install it correctly MAUALLY

perplexed · February 08, 2007, 03:52:17 PM

I cant help you manually but I can tell you that I had 14 other mods installed and then installed this one and it installed ok. that was version 2.0.2 on RC3. I realise that might not be helpful to you, sorry.

btw I never knew http://server.daniel15.com/smf/package.php that existed.

goitalone · February 08, 2007, 04:23:44 PM

Yeah I have 1.1.1 with 38 mods installed

perplexed · February 08, 2007, 06:26:11 PM

lol I have 28 total but this one was #15 in order to get them all to install with no problems. Maybe it has something to do with the order *shrug*

goitalone · February 08, 2007, 06:49:26 PM

Well, I tried it on a freash install..I think it had more to do with the theme I am using

perplexed · February 08, 2007, 06:53:58 PM

hmmm I only use variations of the default theme. Is it working on the default theme? Edits have to be done manually on custom themes, sorry stating the obvious but it's late

goitalone · February 08, 2007, 06:55:17 PM

I dunno..I always just installed it after moonraker..was a fresh install other than that

perplexed · February 08, 2007, 06:55:51 PM

have you switched to the default theme to see if it is working there?

goitalone · February 08, 2007, 06:56:16 PM

which version of googlebot did you use?

goitalone · February 08, 2007, 06:57:28 PM

No, because even if it was I still wouldn't know how to fix it in my theme.

So there is no point as I am not going to be using the default

perplexed · February 08, 2007, 06:59:49 PM

but then you would at least know that it installed correctly. Then you could look at the instructions in the zip file and follow them manually to add the edits to your theme.

goitalone · February 08, 2007, 07:07:41 PM

there are no instructions

Installed the " Googlebot_v2_0_2_only_smf1.1rcx.zip " zip file from the dl page on my test forum default theme using TP 0.9.7.1 and SMF 1.1.1... and it appears to work...

http://www.choice-online-gaming.com/index.php?action=forum

BUT I cant seem to save any settings in the admin for the mod... every setting is checked except for Count in "Most Online" & Display agent instead of name... and everytime I try to change a setting and save it , it doesnt save... it goes back to the last known settings for lack of a better description... I just hope someone who knows what theyre doing if not the original mod author can come by and fix / update this mod for SMF 1.1.1 and TP 0.9.7.1 so it works as intended...

goitalone · February 09, 2007, 05:34:50 PM

Indeed...I sure hope it happens soon too.

I am not messing with it any further until then. I am tired of crashing my forum and having to replace backup files.

*Done with it fer now*

damn that's annoying. I might have to upgrade and go without this for now as I can't wait much longer. This is the only thing that is holding me up

QuoteJust..someone tell me how to do it manually..Package Parser doesn't show it as a valid xhtml

XML, not XHTML.

Basically, the & needs to be & in order for it to be valid. SMF's XML parser doesn't really care about this, but the one I use (SimpleXML) needs perfectly valid XML (as does most parsers) .
If you edit the package-info.xml file and either remove the & in "Googlebot & spiders", or replace it with &, it should be parsed correctly
