Problem with Theme

kevinkap · Involved Joined: Apr 22, 2006 Posts: 352

I have tried to get my theme to show the right side blocks, I edited the file as instructed.

function themefooter() {
global $index, $foot1, $foot2, $foot3, $foot4, $copyright, $totaltime, $footer_message;
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {
$tmpl_file = "themes/Chronicles/center_right.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
blocks(right);

However the right hand blocks will not show up. Also this bit of instruction confuses me:

Important notes relating to Nuke Patched 3.1:

1- If you want right side blocks to appear in third party add-ons change:
In Modules:
index = 1;
to:
define('INDEX_FILE', true);

Where at in the Modules folder is this supposed to be made, there are no individual files there?

Same for these instructions:
2- Additional changes for third party add-ons:
if ($mainfile == 1) {
should be changed to:
if (defined('NUKE_FILE')) {

if ($module == 1) {
should be changed to:
if (defined('MODULE_FILE')) {

if ($footer == 1) {
should be changed to:
if (defined('NUKE_FOOTER')) {

if ($header == 1) {
should be changed to:
if (defined('NUKE_HEADER')) {

Which file should these be made to?

Oh, i forgot, nuke 7.6 patched 3.1 by chatserv.

That will be in /modules/MODULE_NAME/index.php
Where 'MODULE_NAME' is the name of the module, for eample, News, Feedback etc - though this file code change would only be needed to third party modules, that is to say modules that did not come with the phpnuke distribution.

The first thing to check is if right blocks appear when you use any of the modules - do none of the modules have right blocks?
If that is the case, the problem is with the theme itself.
If you can post a link to the download for the them I may be able to take a look over the next day or so.

The theme is the Chronicles theme pack from nukemods.com. Yes the them used to work fine until I updated the site to patched 3.1. I still have right hand blocks with the "shout_box" module and that is it for some reason.

Hmm, I just noticed your code above was for only one function.
In the themes/Chronicles/theme.php can you search for 'index = 1' to see if there are any more instances of that?
I am not at my normal PC so am not able to download the files and check them myself.

there are no more instances of it

I tried to post the files code but was not allowed to.

I have just downloaded that theme and made the code change you have

Code:

function themefooter() {
global $index, $foot1, $foot2, $foot3, $foot4, $copyright, $totaltime, $footer_message;
// if ($index == 1) {
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {
$tmpl_file = "themes/Chronicles/center_right.html";

This works fine for me so I am unable to reproduce your problem.

please simply do this.

use the code tags to post your theme.php file that you think that you edited correctly.

There shouldnt really be anything in there that would not post... or post a link to download the file, meaning, zip it up and put it somewhere on your servr and give us the link to download it. I prefer if you can post the code you have here though. Make sure it is exactly the one you have up now. There must be an issue with it. This is the best way to solve it. It would also help to have a link to your site with the broken theme as your default so that we can see it. Thanks

I have tried using the "code" keys as well as splitting up the various tags as mentioned in the blocked page but to no avail. You can download it

Your zipped file works fine for me.
According to the changes you have made to the theme.php you are using Nuke Platinum?
If that is the case, you need some one to test this on a nuke platinum site as something is obviously not compatible.

no, it is not platinum, it is 7.6 pathced 3.1 by chatserv. That change came directly out of theinstructions by him.

OK I just wondered because you have this in the file

Code:

echo "<br><font class=\"small\">Chronicles theme converted to PHPNuke Platinum by <a href=\"http://www.seanpirie.co.uk\">Sean Pirie</a><br>:: Chronicles phpbb2 style by <a href=\"http://www.jakob-persson.com/\">Jakob Persson</a> :: PHP-Nuke theme by <a href=\"http://www.nukemods.com\">www.nukemods.com</a> ::</font></td></table></center>";

And this was not in the file i downloaded.

That is odd, that must have been an old them I was using. However, I downloaded the most recent chronicles theme pack and when Iupload it all I get is a white screen. I have tried the other themes and they seem to work fine, showing right blocks even with my gallery mod.

Unfortunately, I do not see anything in that theme which would give you a white screen unless some file got corrupted during the ftp transfer or the center forum block is in conflict with something.

Please PM me an working ftp log in

Well, after uploading the theme several more times, it finally works, I guess it was getting corrupted as you said during
