Spookywood Theme

[Nieth]

I'm running MSA v1.3.2, and trying to install the Spookywood Theme, with no luck. Actually, when I go to change the Theme under settings in the AdminCP none of the themes work!

I created a folder in templates and named it 'spookywood' and then uploaded all of the spookywood files for the theme as instructed. When trying to install the theme under 'Theme management' it tells me that I have chosen and action that cannot be completed. The location I typed in for the install was:

templates/spookywood/spookywood.html

It kept giving me the same error.

I searched the forum and found how to manually install the themes using phpmyadmin and tried that as well. It did not work, and as I said, even selecting one of the pre-installed themes does not change the website theme.

I have now erased the row that I made in phpmyadmin for spookywood and deleted the spookywood folder and it's contents from my templates folder to start fresh and hopefully get some guidance. Thank you in advance!

Well it seems that the theme settings aint functioning as it was supposed to, I apologize for that. You will have to install a theme manually in PHPmyadmin for now, go to table prefix.themes and insert a row with the appropriate theme name/folder pair.

Edit: If you dont mind, post this in the Bug Tracker. I will see if I can come out with a simple fix later tonight or tomorrow.

^ He already tried to manually install it.

Well by manually I mean going to phpmyadmin and install it from cpanel, not through ACP.

I'll try to just add the rows again into PHPmyadmin, it didn't work last time, but I'll give it a shot again and reply back.

I manually added the row in PHPmyAdmin and updated and saved it.

I went back to the ACP and clicked the scroll bar to change the theme, the Theme name appeared in the scroll bar, but when I selected it, it did NOT change the theme of the website.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Edit: Sorry for the double post in here.

Well maybe you entered the wrong information to the database table?

[Clessidra]

Is that the only possible reason, HoF?

Or he may not have made the style correctly, umm... Wait a sec, you probably have to define the style's template file as template.html rather than spookywood.html.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not but I took screenshots of my current directory and my PHPmyAdmin row creation. Maybe they will help:

Filezilla with file location and contents:

PHPMyAdmin with new row:

Please let me know if you see something wrong! I apologize for needing so much assistance.

Edit: I tried renaming the spookywood.html file as template.html and it still did not work.

I think I'll be redoing the old Spookywood theme (as I know how to make it work with fewer images now). I can't think of why it wouldn't work now though...
