Ok, i was looking at the donate themes(i dont know how to donate) but upon reading the forums, you are talking about postnuke. Whats that?
I am using a phpbb2 forum and I am wondering can i still use that and link from the phpnuke site being my main, then have a forum link to my phpbb while they still use the same logon and such. Sorry if this is a stupid question but i dont want to get a theme if i cant do what i want. |

PostNuke is a content management system (CMS). This site here is a postnuke site. Postnuke is similar to phpnuke but in my opinion a better system. Postnuke is run with the use of internal residing "modules". These modules make the site what it is. For instance, your forum would be a module within postnuke.
Your new postnuke site could use your existing forum. I believe that you can even import your existing database that currently runs your forum.
Postnuke is relatively easy to install and setup. The theme that you buy is also easily modified to make it say what you want it to say.
Im not sure if your current logins would still work, that is a question that Mars can aswer for you. |

To keep the logins the same you would need to import the existing PHPBB2 into your CMS version of PHPBB.
Both PostNukes PNphpBB2 and PHPNukes PHPBB have import scripts for that. |

Ok great! I finally got my linux box up and downloaded the autolite thingy. so im gonna see if i can get one of the free themes runnin before i buy one.
The forums was new and a test, one user who was helping me test them so no biggie at all. Thanks a ton for all the help and I look forward to purchasing some of these awesome themes, i host a guild in wow and a clan for bf1942 so i will most likely be buying two.  |

Ok, i have run into a problem, i get up to installing the at-lite_8_pn.zip. The install says to put it directly into the folder of your cms, so like /var/www/html/mywebpage/ right? that works, i activate it under the moduels in the cms, install the etched theme and then i get a header.php error. I know im doing somthign wrong i just dont know what it is.
Thanks for the help in advanced!

Im sorry, but what in moduels? Autolite or etched?
I unziped the autolite to the directory where postnuke is at, thats what it said to do. Doing that added two folders under moduels, then under the cms control, i initialized, then activated them. after that, i unziped the etched to the themes folder and it created a folder called etched, so it was /var/www/html/mywebpage/themes/etched/ |

dang it, for some reason i cant post under linux anymore. I log in and it takes me to a: Log in, register, forgot password screen.
anyway yes, the themes that came with it worked.
Edit: Ok, i misunderstood what you asked, the xanthia themes worked, the autotheme did not, it gave me the error in header.php as well. |

Try to copy theme.cfg from one of the working themes.
That file gets corrupt sometimes. |

I dont see any theme.cfg in the postnuke packaged themes.
I edited my above post. I misunderstood what you asked, but no the AutoThemes do not work. only the ones packaged with postNuke installation.
The Xanthia ones. |

Sounds like the AutoTheme module didn't upload properly.
I would remove AutoTheme in Admin-Modules
Reupload it, initialize and activate it again.
Then make sure that autotheme.cfg is CHMOD'ed to 777 |

Ok, I am hosting the server myself. Should autotheme overwrite anything?
it replaced pnadmin.php, but everything else installed in the right spot. i didnt chmod the theme.cfg so i will try that. maybe that will fix it for me. |

What version of PostNuke are you using?
AT is currently only compatible with .750 and earlier. |
