Theme Requests - WoW10 Postnuke Theme upgrade to Zikula taliesen - Feb 03, 2009 - 09:28 PM Post subject: WoW10 Postnuke Theme upgrade to Zikula
I think I posted this question earlier, but in the incorrect forum. I apologize in advance for the duplication.
Close to 2 years ago I purchased the WoW10 Theme for Postnuke.
Now that Postnuke has shut down, and has been converted to Zikula, I was wondering if I could get a free upgrade for the WoW10 Theme for Zikula since I have purchased it in the past.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Sincerely,
Taliesenmars - Feb 03, 2009 - 11:47 PM Post subject: RE: WoW10 Postnuke Theme upgrade to Zikula
The theme will work with Zikula, just install the AutoTheme module for it from http://www.spidean.comtaliesen - Feb 04, 2009 - 12:09 AM Post subject:
Mars,
Thank you so much for the reply.
I have installed it on my website, however I am unable to do certain functions under the WoW10 skin under the admin menu. Specifically I'm not able to edit the Main Menu block while that skin is activated. I have to turn the skin off, and then make changes, then reactivate the skin for the website to reflect any changes.
I have also installed the PNPHBB skin that came with it to test it out, and it is not working very well either. There are colors & icons missing.
Any suggestions? I was just assuming that I had a very old version of WoW10 and it needed to be updated.
Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks!mars - Feb 04, 2009 - 01:46 AM Post subject:
What version of PNphpBB2 is that?
It isn't linking the images or stylesheet properly it seems.taliesen - Feb 04, 2009 - 04:18 AM Post subject:
Mars,
Here is the following version of PNphpBB that I am running:
PNphpBB Version: 1.2i-p3
It says that I have the most recent version.
This is a very old version of the WoW10 Theme I'm assuming since it is 10 years old. Has it changed over that period of time since Postnuke went to Zikula??
Also, even under the WoW10 Theme, some of the administration functions are not working properly unless I disable the theme and use one that came with the installation. I have to make admin changes there, then reactivate the theme.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. If you'd like I can create and admin longin for you and also give you ftp access.
I have my old site up under the following if you want to see what it used to look like:
I am totally redoing this with updated Zikula, forums...everything since I haven't updated my old site in forever. I rather just start from scratch like I am now.
again, thanks in advance!

I asked because I downloaded Zikula, PNphpBB2 and AutoTheme, installed all 3, copied over the wow10 folder from my Postnuke setup and it worked?
I can also do all the admin functions as well, what errors are you seeing with that?taliesen - Feb 04, 2009 - 02:56 PM Post subject:
Here is an example of what I cannot do while the WoW10 theme is active:
Administration - Layout - Blocks - Edit Main Menu
I cannot add a new menu item, nor does the drag and drop functionality work while wow10 theme is activated. I have tried both in IE and FireFox.
However it will work once I disable wow10 for some reason.
One can just look at the forums and see they aren't working correctly.
I am not sure why it is doing this. I created my DB first, then copied all the installation files for zikula to my root directory. Ran the install.php. From there I followed the prompts and it connected to the DB just fine.
Then I installed AT-Lite. Then WoW10, Then PNphpBB, then WoW10 skin for the forums.
I'm beating my head against the wall here. LoL. Again, thanks in advance for any advice Mars. I appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Talie
EDIT: I just tried to arrange my center blocks in a different order. I cannot do it since the drag and drop function will not work under the WoW10 theme. Just another example of what I am unable to do. mars - Feb 04, 2009 - 06:00 PM Post subject:
I'll look into the blocks issue, it is usually just a css problem.taliesen - Feb 04, 2009 - 08:23 PM Post subject:
Mars,
Thank you so much. Would it help if I gave you an admin login to my website as well as FTP access? If that is what it takes I am more than willing to pay you for your time.
Again thank you so much in advance.mars - Feb 05, 2009 - 12:10 AM Post subject:
To fix the block admin edit themes/wow10/theme2.html and make the head section like the following
I will look into the forums some more too.taliesen - Feb 05, 2009 - 04:08 PM Post subject:
Awesome. That fixed the majority of the java issues under the admin consol. Thank you so much.
The only thing that I have run across that is odd is when I go to rearrange the blocks within the Center Block, there is a random "e" spread out across the cells.
I will PM you and admin user ID and PW since it's hard to describe ><.
Also - under "view Blocks" it says the following:
This is a list of all blocks that are present in your system (depending on the 'Show all blocks' or 'Show active blocks' option on top of this screen. This list does not reflect the block order in the block positions. If you want to adjust this, scroll down (or click here), then edit a block position.
The hyperlink under "click here" does not work. It doesn't matter since I can scroll down and just click on "edit" by the block that I wish to rearrange the order of and that works. Just wanted to point out that the link doesn't work in case the current WoW10 theme has the same issue.
Thank you so much for helping me with the Java issue on the admin panel!
Let me know what you find out on the Forums. taliesen - Feb 06, 2009 - 06:31 PM Post subject:
I sent the PM. Let me know if you received it. Thanks again!taliesen - Feb 06, 2009 - 10:50 PM Post subject:
I fully uninstalled PNphpBB and removed all entries from the SQL database. Reinstalled it - worked like a champ.
Then I went to the /modules/PNphpBB2/templates/PNTheme/styles directory and renamed wow10.css to default.css and I've got it working to some degree. The icons and borders are not showing. Looks like just the colors changed.
I kept the original default.css file - renamed it default.css-orig.
I'm stumpedmars - Feb 07, 2009 - 12:52 AM Post subject:
For some reason it isn't looking in the proper place for the template files.
I really have no idea why either, you might be best to post at the PNphpBB2 site and see if they have seen that before as it is not happening on my Zikula test site.
taliesen - Feb 07, 2009 - 05:00 PM Post subject: Do you think that since i'm using an old postnuke pnphpbb skin that it isn't as compatable with Zikula since the pnphpbb guys might have made some changes?
Darn. Mars thanks so much for the help you gave. I know you spent a lot of time on it. Thanks again!
Taliesentaliesen - Feb 07, 2009 - 05:29 PM Post subject:
Mars,
I'm probably going to sound like an idiot asking this, but here goes anyways.
I went over to www.zafenio.com and tried to register so I could post up the questions on their forums. During the registration process they ask this question to prevent spam:
How is PNphpBB called now?*
I naturally put in "Zafenio" --however it doesn't take my answer. So then I tried "PNphpBB2" -- and that didn't work either.
It's been a long time since I've messed with my website (hence the full revamp), so am I missing something or is their site messed up? I tried to jump in their IRC channel but no one was there. Do you happen to know these guys at all or can offer any advice? Sorry to be such a pest. Thanks in advance.
Taliemars - Feb 07, 2009 - 05:46 PM Post subject:
That is retarded..
It might be zafenio with the lowercase z
I don't know any of the new crew over there, I used to know the original coder Carl but that was many years ago.taliesen - Feb 10, 2009 - 11:03 PM Post subject:
Mars,
I have another crazy question for you. I do not have a "profile" directory under modules. So now when anyone tries to acces "your account" they get the following error:
We're sorry. The page you requested, /index.php?module=Profile, doesn't exist on "Forbidden Lore - A World of Warcraft Role Play Guild
Do I need to redirect it to a different module that handles the profile of my users, or is my zikula installation bad??? I hate to keep asking so many questions - thanks in advance.
Taliesen
PS:
With all the problems I'm having - do you think it would just be best to purchase another theme rather than using this old one??
Does each zikula theme come with a corresponding theme for Zafenio?mars - Feb 10, 2009 - 11:53 PM Post subject:
That link should point at user.php
It works on my Zikula install?
Every theme would be the same way with Zikula, there is no difference for the themes from PostNuke to Zikula. sorry taliesen - Feb 11, 2009 - 12:15 AM Post subject:
Odd, when I click on "your account" even on your website it just takes me to your homepage - there is nothing listed to where i can edit my profile.
I wonder if it has to do with my IE 8.0 or a setting I need to remove?
If I decide to purchase another theme - do they all come with a corresponding zafenio theme?
I'm at the point that I am having so many issues with this CMS that I might just purchase PHPNUKE and try it out and download one of your skins for that plateform. Yarg.
Taliemars - Feb 11, 2009 - 01:06 AM Post subject:
No need to purchase PHPNuke, if you are going to go that route then I highly recommend RavenNuke http://ravenphpscripts.com
It is a really stable and secure CMS.
But yes, any theme I have listed for Postnuke/Zikula has a matching PNphpBB2 template with it.taliesen - Feb 11, 2009 - 01:12 AM Post subject:
Mars,
You have got to be sick of my posts. :p I have spoken to a few friends of mine and they just like the WoW10 theme. I have to admit I've grown accustomed to it as well.
Would you be willing to look over the site if I gave you FTP and Admin access? Name your price and I"ll pay you for your time. I'm at the point that I"m just tired of dealing with it. If I could get you to make the necessary corrections, then I'm sure I could take it from there. It's just getting this fresh install off the ground that is taking so long - and I'm not sure why.
Sorry to be such a bother. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!
PS. I redirected "my account" to user.php. It just takes it back to the homepage.mars - Feb 11, 2009 - 03:07 AM Post subject:
WoW10 will work just fine with RavenNuke, before you end up having to pay me for a few hours of work, install RN in a subdirectory and give it a test, if you like it then I will send you the WoW10 version for it.taliesen - Feb 11, 2009 - 09:48 PM Post subject:
I just installed RavenNuke and thus far I like it a lot more than POSTNUKE.
Thank you so much for pointing that out. I'm having some issues with configuring the CGIauth Setup - however I"m sure I'll get help on Raven's support forums for that.
I think I will stick with RavenNuke. I love the interface and the design. My email is taliesen.anarie@gmail.com.
Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to using wow10 in ravennuke. mars - Feb 12, 2009 - 01:38 AM Post subject:
Ok one small question, what version of RN did you install?
There is a slight difference in the forums between 2.3 and older versions.taliesen - Feb 12, 2009 - 03:35 AM Post subject:
I have 2.30.00 installed I owe you one! Thanks!
