BoardIndex.template.php

Code Select Expand


// Show the "Board name      Topics  Posts    Last Post" header.
echo '
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5" class="bordercolor">
<tr class="titlebg">
<td colspan="2">', $txt[20], '</td>
<td width="6%" align="center">', $txt[330], '</td>

it'd have to be the BoardIndex.template.php for the theme you are using.  hmm...if you edited that one and it still didn't work, i'm not sure.

[austinderrick2]

I dont think its using the right BoardIndex.template.php on my forums... Its using another one from somewhere... I can do whatever I want to the file and it doesnt do anything.

[austinderrick2]

Its the one for the theme I'm using BTW.

You need to remove more than just that.  Make sure you are editing not classic but converted.

[austinderrick2]

Yah, I'm editing converted for sure...


I'm looking for the other stuff to edit right now...

[austinderrick2]

ok, I purposly made a parser error to see if it was even using that file and it still worked which means that it is not using the file...

My board index that I'm editing is in the converted themes folder...

If your website is where you are doing this, it seems like you've modified the default theme and aren't even using the converted one.

Can you provide a link?

Oh wow! I found a bug! :O The forum ALWAYS uses the board index template in the "Themes/default" folder.

Umm, no it does not.  I am very sure of this, or else this forum HERE would look very different.

[austinderrick2]

oh...

Well my forum is using the default boardindex.template.php file instead of the one in the folder.... :S

Check that theme's settings and make sure it's theme directory path is set properly.

Sorry, also remember that case matters: if it finds no BoardIndex.template.php, it WILL use the default one.  So if you named it "boardindex.template.php" it will NOT FIND BoardIndex.template.php.

[austinderrick2]

Case is correct, directory is correct. http://www.lakesidecabin.net/forums/ is the url.

Can you pm me with a temporary admin account?

is it case sensitive on Win machines too? (not that I care... just interested...)

check your PM's

[austinderrick2]

While your at it it would be cool if you could figure out how come
I can't edit index.php and style.css in the admin panel (Submit button is frozen)

[pulpitfire]

i don't think it allows on-page edit for the default theme, in admin.  you have to make a copy of it, then you can go in and edit.  is that what you mean?

[[Unknown]]

Actually, it's because the files are not writable.  They need to be 777.

[pulpitfire]

duh

[austinderrick2]

oh... also we're having some weird javascript errors with.... just about everything...

[austinderrick2]

ok, I think I found the poblem... Even though the thing says its in the converted folder all the stuff is in the default folder... even though I edited the stuff in the converted folder with ftp to change the index.template.php, I changed the permissions on the index.template.php files and it unlocked the save button...

[austinderrick2]

Still having those javascript errors though... Clicking on the smilies doesnt enter the smilie code

[[Unknown]]

You seem to have removed all the special javascript and stuff from the head section.  It needs to be in there.  Check the classic and default themes to see what I'm talking about.
