Hi, When I installed the cobalt theme into my PHPNUKE Platinum, everything seems to work as expected except that when I click forums, it says that there is a template missing. 8O Is this normal or have i messed up the install of my Cobalt theme? I am sorry, I am at school and cannot tell you the name of the template :cry: , but it is the main forums template used by PLATINUM. I verified that the file was in fact missing, but beyond that, I dont know. :? SHould I take the tmeplate form the default PLATINUM Theme and try and hack it to be a cobalt template?

Thanks for any and all help.

BTW you guys ROCK, great themes!

Hosted on Debian LAMP system
PHP-Nuke is 7.6 Platinum
Cobalt is version available for DL here in themses section.

When you downloaded your Platinum package you would have receied with that a Folder called "themeconversion" just upload that folder content to your forums or did you already.

ie: was the file glance.body or something like that ?

Yes, it was glance_body.tpl
Ahhh. Cool (Im an idiot, sorry) So I just follow the 21 step theme conversion process and cobalt will be fine?
Thanks for your time and patience (you have probably asnwered this 100 times already, sorry)

Yes and good luck with that editting its something I hate doing.

Emm personal I would just upload the files and see what what first, the conversion editing is for adding BBcodes to your forums, & your Forum header links, that is something you might not need to do, well yet, as your Forums will function as they are, without editting those files.

Maybe you want these extra features, maybe you dont. That my friend is your choice.

Holy S^&%#. 8O What a job I just tore into the theme conversion before I got your message DOH! , I have already found instructions that dont apply to the Cobalt theme such as:

Find foo and there is no foo.

So, taking your advice, I will try just the upload, then see whats broken, then I will wait, with baited breath for the THEMERS to make some themes for platinum, its the only real shortcoming I see with the platinum package, it has a single theme.

Do you suppose I can take the entire forums section of my platinum theme and copy it over to the cobalt theme? Would this perhaps result in a Cobat PHP-Nuke theme with a platinum forums theme? If so it should be fully functional short of a thematic mismatch... :?: What do you think?

Well try the upload first, emm just one question

Your themes Folder now shows T-Platinum & Cobalt right & does the Cobalt Folder contain a Folder called Forums or are your forums somewhere eles ?

EDIT : Actually scrap that question it does, I just checked, so yeah just upload :

BTW what was the find foo & .... blah blah not all themes are writting the same way

Thanks again for your guidance here Marty! :wink:

Yes, t-platinum and cobalt are both in the themes folder, and
I very sure (not positive) there is a forums folder within the cobalt folder.
Im at the university lab, and my LAMP is at home hiding behind a locked firewall so i am going from memory, and just DLed cobalt and 76 platinum and unarchived to recreate the situation here for file location reference.

I have a stock platinum 76 install, with cobalt being the ONLY thing i have added to the install. everything except mysql params are set to default.

Um in section 5: editing groupcp_info_body.tpl
:arrow:
*
/******[ FIND ]************************************************** ******/
/*
<td class="catBottom" colspan="8" align="right"><span class="cattitle">
:arrow:
this code snippet does not actually exist in the in the file.

But no worries, too bad though, I LOVE that theme.

Marty: Following up, Uploading the contents of the themeconversion folder, did in fact enable the forums for the theme cobalt on PHP-Nke 7.6 platinum without having to edit anything. Thanks for all your help.
Cheers!
