Theme Site glitch?

lurkalot · September 20, 2018, 03:04:18 PM

Is this a issue on the theme site, or something else.

Examples: This theme, Lazarus, https://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2916 There's two identical download links on the right hand side, so you don't know which one you're supposed to download.

Likewise with this theme, geek SMF 2.0 Responsive theme, https://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2918 Two identical download links.

Oh no, that's my mistake, I uploaded an updated package and forgot to remove the old one because I have to edit again in order to remove it

It happens mainly if theme uploader forgets to remove the old package.
It keeps tricky since you have to upload the new one first then remove the old one.

Thats the problem, I dont know which one is the old theme. It's not specific about it.

The new package is always set as the new default, so just uncheck the one you're able to uncheck

I wish it had a date or id next to it then you could tell right away. I was very confused recently on this as well

Exactly...It sure needs a time stamp.

Been a bug for years and always been put aside as a new and better themesite was on it's way but never appears.

Advice I gave people is make the new ones name slightly different. Also generally the top one is the newest version.

Easiest option is to delete the old file and save, then upload the new one. That way even if the names are the same there's no problem.

You can't remove the old package, because there has to be a package, but honestly it's like I mentioned the new package you upload is auto set to default, so when you edit it again you just have to remove the package you're allowed to remove.

I removed the old package when I updated a mod today. Site saved just fine, then I uploaded the new one. Seems to work.

Only with mods, not with themes though
