[Guide] Installing mods SMF 2.0

[Alexkiss]

Okie , as you know some mods may give errors.

 

Its depends on your theme , lets choose any theme to show you how to fix it.

 

I choosed Citiez theme with MCLegendII RC3 package.

 

 

Lets start .

 

1. Install the "Citiez". http://www.4shared.com/file/7DXQ1Czc/citiez_20rc5.html

2. Download the "MCLegendII RC3" mod. http://www.4shared.com/file/rHcWT8va/MCLegendII2_RC3.html

3. Install the package Admin/Main/Package Manager/Download Package

 

 

When the package is downloaded click on "Install mod".

 

Scroll down and find your theme name "Citiez".

 

 

Ok , as you see its gives error on boardindex.template.php

 

So now you should find the mod on official SMF site. Customize/Modifications

 

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1077

Manual Install Instructions for SMF :  2.0

 

Open FTP , download from smf/themes/citiez/boardindex.template.php

 

Open boardindex.template.php

 

Find :

echo '
			', sprintf($txt['users_active'], $modSettings['lastActive']), ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online']);

 

Replace with :

echo '<br />
			', sprintf($txt['users_active'], $modSettings['lastActive']), ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online']);

// Showing membergroups?
	if (!empty($context['membergroups']))
		echo '
						<br />[' . implode(']  [', $context['membergroups']) . ']';

 

Upload it back from FTP to the server.

 

 

Ok now it will show the legends on the boardindex.

 

There are many files like

 

./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php

./Themes/core/BoardIndex.template.php

./Themes/classic/BoardIndex.template.php

 

etc , everytime choose the boardindex.template.php from the default file.

 

 

 

If you upgraded SMF 1.1.14 to SMF 2.0 RC5 , and somepackages doesnt work , then just install the theme which you want to use , and edit the theme files.

 

Depends on package , firstly find the manual Install for the same package but 2.0 on smf official site.

 

 

 

If you are getting pwned by any other package feel free to pm me.
