Theme compatibility (or lack thereof)  Bottom

  • I am running into 2 problems with themes right now
    1- I downloaded the themes from this site that are suppose to work with 0.7.2.3 sadly less then 5 actually worked. did I miss something ?

    2- and more importantly I have found a theme I really like but it doesn't work properly. Specifically the link from the news icons try to look for a file called search.php in the PostNuke root dir and since that file doesn't exist it dies. Is that a leftover from previous versions ? if so how can I fix it ?

    Any help really appreciated.
  • I haven't had that problem usually the problem is people try installing PHP-Nuke themes with PN or way old PostNuke themes with .723

    Try others there are many of them.
  • Same experience here, PostNuke themes, just don't seem to work with 722 either
  • The Search thing is common, as there used to be a specific search file, but now it's made into a module. If you right-click the "search" link in the main menu and choose to copy link location, you'll get a link like this:
    modules.php?op=modload&name=Search&file=index
    If you replace the old link with that, it should work, although you'd get the search page, not a list of news stories.

    Looking in the default postnuke theme, the search box use this HTML:

    Code

    <form action="modules.php" method="post">
                  <input type="hidden" name="name" value="Search" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="file" value="index" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="op" value="modload" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="action" value="search" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="overview" value="1" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="active_stories" value="1" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="bool" value="AND" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="stories_cat" value="" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="stories_topics" value="" />
                  <?php echo _SEARCH ?>&nbsp;
                  <input class="pn-text" name="q" type="text" value="" />
                </form>

    As you can see, if you read HTML, it also sets op= "modload", name="search" and file="index". You could try adding one of the values above to the link to refine it, like"&stories_topics=computers" or whatever.

    I'd need to research it more myself, I gues...

    Also, what's the theme, and where did you get it?
