Big problem for me i really need help

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I replaced just the files that were changed by the mods.  Everything else looks ok.  Babylon theme was not damaged, so I left it as is.  Also deleted two upgrade...sql files in your root - security risks, and you don't need them.  Kick it around and make sure everything works.

Enjoy your forum!

okay, Thank you very much. is it okay for me to install the mods now, i want it to look a little bit like nairaland.com but with my own imaginative spirit, would it be possible

[Gunpoint]

Am still having problems in the mod area, the mods are still there and if i try to uninstall them it says test failed you can check it out, i didnt do any other thing again so i would not damage the forum

[Sir Osis of Liver]

You should have no problems installing the mods with the package manager.  Nairaland.com is running an old version (1.0.12) that looks very much like the 1.1.13 Babylon theme. 


I'll take a look.

[Gunpoint]

okay, thanks, yeah nairaland is like that, there are still some mods which are still in the forum and looks like they are going to have a little problem when uninstalling

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Ok, I cleared the anti-spam mod.  Try installing your mods.

[Gunpoint]

Okay, thanks let me try

Also deleted two upgrade...sql files in your root - security risks, and you don't need them.

the sql files are not a security risk as they can not be run without upgrade.php. as long as upgrade.php is not on the server the sql files are not a risk at all to be left behind.

[Gunpoint]

Yes, thank you it works, now all i need to do is to remove the smf logo, and sign in with facebook and twitter, youtube mod, facebook like and twitter tweet mod, a mod for adsense,  and something to make the home page look like naira land instead of the dates, board, and member names showing along with it, please can i get this mods here

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Thx, Illori.

Before you do a lot of work on the forum, you should consider upgrading to 2.0.

[Gunpoint]

will 2.0 be better and would the babylon theme also work there, i am unable to do that myself, but if you recommened it, since you have more experience than me in this stuff, i would follow your advice, if its what you recommend you can go on with it

[Illori]

babylon theme does not work for 2.0, but it has more default features and more mods being made for it.

[Gunpoint]

okay, then if you guys approve it, i would be happy to use it on my forum, Thank you illori for coming to my help also, Krash what do you think

[Gunpoint]

do you think its ok for the 2.0 to be installed on the site

[Illori]

2.0 is as stable as 1.1.14, if you want to use it or not is your choice. also please do not bump within 24 hours we are all volunteers.

[Gunpoint]

okay, please can someone help me with upgrading to 2.0, please i would be very grateful, just saw that most mods accepts 2.0

[Illori]

take a look at Upgrading SMF if you want someone to do it for you post in the help wanted board.

[Gunpoint]

Help after a little while this was what i got "You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!" i dont think its normal

[Illori]

you need a temp folder in your packages folder and you can not run the large upgrade package in the package manager.
