Edited first post, uploaded new zip for RC2 plus made a few other changes and added BoardIndex.template.php to include posting icons to the bottom of the boards  @LandyVlad

aarrrggghhhh I just updated by uninstalling all the mods and the theme, then installing mods etc.
(Just before you did the latest theme file update it would seem)
Some of the mods (of course) make changes to the theme files)

Also the old background is back (the one that has the drone rather than just the normal cloudy sky image)
In directory Themes/Drone/images/theme there is a file drone-back3.jpg which is the background image file.
Where is it called from ?? Not in theme settings. Must be in one of the theme files itself?

Is there an easy list of changes so I could manually edit the theme files or should I start all over again?

[lesmond]

this is the background without the drone, just overwrite  this one in the folder \Drone\images\theme\drone-back3.jpg

There is a lot of changes in index.css from rc1 to rc2

What theme did you install, the one you already had? Or the new one Les did for RC2?

I only ask because the one Les attached yesterday which is updated for RC2 only has one download, and that was me just now.  So are you installing the old RC1 version on RC2?

Your RC2 theme already contains the image without the drone Les.  It looks like the old RC1 version is being installed for some reason.

[LandyVlad]

Oh fark, so that means I basically redownloaded the RC1 theme... so I have to start again...

Correct me if I'm wrong but if I guess correctly then you
1, Did an edit just to tell it it was compatible with RC2 and attached that to the first post.
  (this would be the one I downloaded)
and then
2. You made some more changes and updated the fist post again with more changes included in the theme file.

Sound right?


(Meanwhile I've manually updated the background for now)

[lurkalot]

Well, that could be what happened.  Take a look at the edit time stamp top of the first post,

When I view it, it says "Last Edit: Yesterday at 12:02 pm by lesmond  - Reason: Updated theme zip for rc2 "

Obviously the time might be a tad different for you, as I'm in the UK.  But if you downloaded it before the stated time, yes.

That said, if this was the case I've no idea what the prior zip contained because that's gone. So post above is based purely on what I downloaded today.

[LandyVlad]

Sigh. Seems like I'll have to uninstall my mods and theme, do the theme again and reinstall mods.

I looked at the files and the one available now is 4KB larger than the one I downloaded and installed so I guess there was a change in that time...
(568KB vs 564KB)

I might wait until tomorrow after @lesmond  has had a chance to comment.

Well I guess so.  How many mods do you run on 2.1 RC2?  I didn't think there was that many.  TinyPortal can stay, it's hooks only, there's absolutely no file edits made by that.    Edit: That said, we're probably about to make a release of TP 1.6.3 very shortly anyway.

[lesmond]

Sorry I missed this, I could just give you the index.css file I changed, then all you would have to do is replace that. unless your mods make changes to that?

[lurkalot]

Edit: That said, I'm probably about to make a release of TP 1.6.3 very shortly anyway.

I said it would be released shortly.  Well now it is.    You can grab your copy of TinyPortal 1.6.3 from the SMF Mods Site, or from the TinyPortal support site.

Hi mate if it was just the index.css that was changed then yep, for sure I'd love a copy of that.
I can check by manually parsing whether the mods made any changes to that file specifically.


The mods I use are:

TinyPortal (just updated to 1.6.3 release version)
Downloads System
SMF Gallery Pro
Post as Another Member
Hall of Fame.

That's it for now.

[lesmond]

From what I can see none of those make any changes to themes, so you can download the new zip and replace the one you have.

[LandyVlad]

When I deleted the drone theme and then installed it again, it made some theme changes IIRC ?
Or maybe that was RC2?
Or maybe it was one of those mods after all.

Damn I'm confusing myself now.


So - delete existing drone theme and then install it again from the new zip?

[lesmond]

Unzip the theme and upload index.css too the css folder within the drone theme, and BoardIndex.template.php to the drone theme folder.
