The relevant files are as follows:
| Theme | File |
|---|---|
| Bean | ./Themes/Bean/css/index.css |
| Grassland Curve Variation | ./Themes/greengrass1/css/index.css |
It would show one test for each file being successful, but the other one failing. It would find the following code:
/* The "Quote:" and "Code:" header parts... */ .codeheader, .quoteheader { color: #666; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; padding: 0 0.3em; }
It wanted to make an "Add After" modification of adding the following:
/* The "Off-topic:" header part... */ .off-topicheader { color: #696969; text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 1.1em; }
For the other "Add After" modification it wanted to make, it was looking for the following:
/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */ blockquote.bbc_standard_quote, blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote { font-size: x-small; color: #000; line-height: 1.4em; background: url(../images/theme/quote.png) 0.1em 0.1em no-repeat; border-top: 2px solid #99A; border-bottom: 2px solid #99A; padding: 1.1em 1.4em; margin: 0.1em 0 0.3em 0; overflow: auto; }
It wanted to then add the following:
/* Silly users may go off-topic */ .off-topic { color: #444444; background-color: #dadde2; border: 1px dotted #696969; margin: 2px; padding: 2px; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.2em; }
When I compared the code in the index.css files with
what was being sought, I found that the only difference was in the
border-top and border-bottom solid color
values. The installation process was expecting to find #99A,
but other values were actually present for the two themes. I edited the
index.css file for each theme to replace the solid color
values with the ones that were expected. I then went to the Browse
Packages page again and clicked on the Install link for
the package. This time, I didn't see any error messages for the themes
and installed the package checking the option to install for the two
themes as well. After I had installed the package, I put the color values
back to what they had been for the themes.
E.g., for the Grassland Curve Variation theme, the relevant section of code was as follows:
/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
blockquote.bbc_standard_quote, blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote
{
font-size: x-small;
color: #000;
line-height: 1.4em;
background: url(../images/theme/quote.png) 0.1em 0.1em no-repeat;
border-top: 2px solid #267F00;
border-bottom: 2px solid #267F00;
padding: 1.1em 1.4em;
margin: 0.1em 0 0.3em 0;
overflow: auto;
}| Theme | File | Actual Color | Expected Color |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bean | ./Themes/Bean/css/index.css | #000 | #99A |
| Grassland Curve Variation | ./Themes/greengrass1/css/index.css | #267F00 | #99A |
Note: When you start the installation process and get to the point
where you see the error messages for particular files, you can find the
changes that will be made by checking package-info.xml. Look
in the install for= sections for the relevant entry related
to the version of SMF you are using. In this case the file referenced
was off-topic_2_0_curve.xml. Then look for search
position= sections to see what code the installation process is
searching for in various files.
package-info.xml file within it. That file may specify that
the installation is valid for specific versions of SMF. For instance a
package-info.xml file might have the following lines within it:
<install for="2.0 Beta 4, 2.0 RC1, 2.0 RC1-1, 2.0 RC1.2">
<modification>off-topic_2.0.xml</modification>
....
<install for="1.1 - 1.1.99">
<modification>off-topic_1.1.x.xml</modification>
So, if the version of SMF on the system is 1.1 to 1.1.99, then the
installation process will use the off-topic_1.1.x.xml file
contained within the zip file. If the version of SMF is one of the 2.x versions
listed, then the installation process will use off-topic_2.0.xml.
But if you have SMF 2.0 RC5, it doesn't know how to install the mod. In this
case, you could emulate 2.0 RC1.2 and, hopefully, still install the mod.
To emulate a prior version of SMF, click on the Advanced link
you will see at the bottom of the page displayed when you go to
Browse Packages. You will see an emulate version field. Put in
a version number that the package is expecting, e.g., if the version of
SMF on the systems is SMF 2.0 RC5, I may still be able to install a package
that was written to work with versions up to 2.0 RC1.2 by putting
SMF 2.0 RC1.2 in that field and clicking on Apply. After the
installation completes, go back and click on the Revert link
under Advanced on the Browse Packages page or put in the
actual version and then click on Apply. When you do so, you may
no longer see an Uninstall option next to the package name;
to uninstall the package, you would have to emulate the prior version again.
If a mod, aka package, is looking for an earlier version of SMF than
what you have on the system, then you also don't see an Install
option listed next to the package, if you haven't yet installed the package.
All you see are the List Files and Delete options
next to the package name.
./Themes/default/Display.template.php.
The installation process was looking for two pieces of code, one it found
and the other it could not find.
It found the following:
// Can they reply? Have they turned on quick reply?
It would perform an "Add Before" for the following code:
// Simple Reply Button if ($context['can_reply'] && !empty($options['display_quick_reply'])) echo ' <li><a href="#quickreply">', $respond_button, '</a></li>'; else echo ' <li><a href="', $scripturl . '?action=post;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';num_replies=' . $context['num_replies'], '">', $respond_button, '</a></li>';
But that was just a comment that would be added, so would have no bearing on the reply button actually appearing on every post on the forum. To actually get the reply button to appear on every forum posting, so that someone wouldn't have to do a lot of scrolling to reply to a long thread, the installation process needed to find the following code:
$reply_button = create_button('quote.gif', 'reply_quote', 'quote', 'align="middle"');That wasn't actually in the file. I looked in the file and couldn't find anything even close to the searched for code.
There is a Support Topic page for the mod and at Topic: Reply Button In Every Post, I fond a posting by gbsothere on September 27, 2010 02:41:33 PM stating that one only need look for "// Can they reply? Have they turned on quick reply?" and then add the following before it:
// How about replying at any point?
if ($context['can_reply'] && !empty($options['display_quick_reply']))
echo '
<li class="reply_button"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=post;reply=', $message['id'], ';topic=', $context['current_topic'], '.', $context['start'], ';num_replies=', $context['num_replies'], '" onclick="doReply(', $message['id'], ');">', $txt['reply'], '</a></li>';
I did so and then a reply button appeared on all posts. I proceeded with the install process on the forum, despite the error message then, just so the mod would show up in the list of installed mods.
