Custom AutoTheme not compatible with PN .75  Bottom

  • Hi:

    I have been running this site for about a year, the theme is an AT Lite .7:
    http://www.xxxxxxxx.com

    This is .726

    This one is a test installation of .75
    http://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com/gold/

    This one is the .75 test with ExtraLite:
    http://www.xxxxxxxxx…php?theme=ExtraLite

    This one is the .75 test with AutoTheme:
    http://www.xxxxxxxxx…php?theme=AutoTheme

    .75PN upgrade was easy. My problem is:

    NO CENTER AND RIGHT BLOCK SHOWING

    I have verified theme.cfg, have copy the same theme files that works on .726 over to .75 and nothing happens... I also copy /modules/Blocks/ to .75 install...

    Have try disabling some blocks and modules... I have noticed this message:
    'La carga del módulo ha fallado' with ExtraLite and AutoTheme... 'module loading has failed' could be the traslation.

    Have spent yesterday trying to figure it out. The theme is a custom by Lobos. Dunno if some of its code is the cause. However, I can't afford right now to pay for an update. and probably the best option could be to migrate the theme to XTE...

    Need some advise from an AutoTheme expert.

    p.d.
    Romeved links as the error was NOT related with .75 PN RC3.
  • Have another .75 test install. This one is a new install (no third modules or blocks). Problem IS related with the theme... since STILL no center or right blocks...

    :(

  • I was able to figure out how to get the center and right blocks back up, but there's a draw back. It will show on all the pages. I have a theme.cfg and I set the "Display blocks on all pages" to true. Doing this will show the blocks but like it states, it shows on all pages.

    I don't know if you have a theme.cfg but this is where you might want to look. I do not know enough about themes to know what I'm doing.

    If you can figure this out, please let me know.
  • Thanks will re-check that. I have downloaded a conversion kit from Marks page. It is pre-beta so...:

    Dunno, theme.cfg allows customization for modules, etc. If modifying it works for you, maybe the solution is there. Keep a copy of the original file tou.

    Thanks
  • Actually, in AutoTheme admin there is a General section where you select what blocks to display by default. Then if you define a Custom Module, for *HomePage or any module, then that will override the General settings, so maybe in General set right and center blocks to 0 (so they don't ever display) and then create a *Homepage Custom Module and set right and center to 1 (so they display on the homepgae).

    You can also define other Custom Modules for any other modules and customize what blocks are displayed there :)

  • I would try that but I can't even get to the admin section. Shawn, please read this:

  • Well, I think I fixed my problem. In the theme.cfg file I removed an If statement. It seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not really sure what this "If" statement does but I'll post it for you to see:

    This was in my theme.cfg

    Code

    //Custom themed modules - configure custom templates, colors, image and block display (*optional)
    //These override the standard settings above only for the specific module
    //Comment out or delete what you don't need
    //
    //Use the following if statement if you don't want these settings used on your home page
    if($index== 1) {
    //



    I removed

    Code

    if($index== 1)


    I put it back in with the // commented out statement right above it and its working to. I'm thinking the person that I bought the theme from accidentally hit the return key and brought that If statement out of the //

    I really don't know though. I'm just happy I have my theme working :)

    Now the only thing I need to do is remove the Admin Messages the pages except from News (homepage) then I'll be set. //starts to search PN for answers
  • Ok, this is a theme based on a very old version of AutoTheme that is not a module.

    Install AT-Lite .7 and read the section on converting an old AT-Lite .6 or earlier theme.

  • Yeah!, Thanks a lot.

    I am observing a nasty error message:
    ' An error occurred while loading the module' at some blocks, did u get this one too?

    :)
  • Never heard of this one. Please paste the exact error and where you see it.

  • Hi Shawn:

    The error is the one I pasted above, see it here (just before each block):
    http://www.xxxxxxxxx….php?theme=xxxxxxxx

    It is happening with almost all themes, could be a module conflicting with .75 I guess. I have a buch of modules so It seems better to:
    disable blocks:
    disable modules one by one...:

    Thanks

    p.d.
    Since this is another type of error, I have started a new thread for this one at:

    The error is the one I pasted above, see it here (just before each block):
    http://sitesomewhere/gold/index.php?theme=Politica2004

    I see no errors on that page.

  • Yes, I fixed it. Solution was to remove third party blocks and disabling blocks. Also, I downloaded new Nuclei for .75PN since my theme use Nuclei..

    I started creating new blocks and it works fine no error.

    Thanks.
