From the very first post of this topic

Anyway, take the attached zip and upload the files into your forum, then browse to the php file, eg


You copy all the files found in the root folder of the download into the root of your forum. SF_Glacier probably uses template inherits so you would not need to do anything with that. Then you just visit your forum and browse to the php file found within the root of the download (list.php I think it is called).

Maybe one of these days I will write up the ModX to get it installed using Automod.

Tried that. Just get warning messages:

Warning: include(./common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/eforum/root/list.php on line 17

Warning: include(./common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/eforum/root/list.php on line 17

Means all the files/folders within the root folder to the root of your board installation, not the root folder itself. Just delete the root folder from the server and start again.

That is exactly what I have done and get the above messages. One day computer wizz kids will realise we are not all up to their standards and explain things clearly.

I think there are some files missing from the download. My error messages ask for 'includes' and 'index' which are NOT in the download.

There are some more files missing but I cannot spend any more time on trying to get this mod sorted. It obviously will NOT work with the theme Glacier which was my initial question.

I can guarantee you it works fine on any style and on any forum...you are doing something wrong.

I know I am doing something wrong!

That's why I am asking for some help.

I have downloaded the zip file and extracted it. Uploaded all the contents to the root file of my Forum but when I try and open the list.php via the net I get the error messages shown. Surely it is not rocket science to post some simple, idiot proof, instructions? Telling me I have done 'something wrong' does not help.

No it's not. The path shown in your your error message /home/mysite/public_html/eforum/root/list.php shows that you have the list.php file inside a folder called root. It, and the other files, should not be in there.

Don't know how we can make it any simpler.

You could make it simpler by telling me where the files should be then.

This is what was said earlier:

'RMcGirr83 wrote:

Now call me stupid but it says root to root does it not?

It states "Copy all files found in the root folder of the mod into the root of your forum"

"root" in this case is where config.php is found...that is what is meant by the "root" of your forum. I never said to make a new directory called root within your forum.

Download from first post has been updated and will now install with automod because I clearly can not make myself understood.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

It has now installed OK on my Forum but, still appearing a bit thick (me), how do I access and use the mod?

Cheers.

Within Automod, click on the details link of the mod, scroll to the bottom of the page and choose to install prosilver on SF_Glacier. There should be a new link in your header next to the memberlist.

If that doesn't work try just browsing to list.php within your forum. You will have to modify SF_Glacier overall_header.html file to get the link to show.

Hi.

When I do that I get the message:

One or more install actions failed. Please review the actions below, make any adjustments and retry. You may continue with the installation even though some of the actions failed. This is not recommended and may cause your board to not function correctly.

Then it asks me if I want to Force Install. My worry is that if I do this it might upset the whole of my forum which has happened in the past.

Like I said, you will have to manually edit SF_Glacier overall_header.html file to get the link to display (open the install xml file from the mod in your browser and you will see the edits for prosilver...do like searches and make the edits similar to the code you find in SF_Glacier).

That is part of the problem of using a style that does not conform to either subsilver2 or prosilver html files.
