Hello
My installation is RavenNuke 2.30.
Using MidTown, when viewing Private Messages. The left modules are visible and on top of any Private Message you may have.
Any idea on how to fix this is appreciated!
Regards,
jc

Can you post a screenshot so I can see what you mean?

With the css themes, problems like this usually come from blocks or modules that have errors in the html output. If you use firefox, you can download a plugin called "HTML Validator" and it will show you the html errors when you view the source. If you do see any errors from that plugin, let me know what they are and I can try to help you fix it.

Hello,
I just had several warnings when using the firefox add on but no critical errors.

Thanks for your help!

Ok, after further investigation, I have found the problem. To fix, open up your theme.php and find..

php:

 global $forums_showblocks;

  if ($module_name == 'Forums' && $forums_showblocks === false)

  {

Change to:

php:

 global $forums_showblocks, $name;

  if ($name == 'Forums' && $forums_showblocks === false)

  {

Thank you Gotcha! that did work and fix the alignment problem Very Happy

I did run in to another problem which was getting the following error whem sending PM:

Quote:

Template->make_filename(): Error - file posting_attach_body.tpl does not exist

Also my "Add an Attachment" feature was not working.
To fix I uploaded .tpl copied files from a Raven theme (fisubice) to:
Midtown/forums/

This did fix the problem, but I hope I don't run in to issues from using the files from another theme Confused

Again,
Thanks Gotcha Smile

No it shouldn't cause any problems at all. The only thing to look for in the copied .tpl files are any hard coded theme names. They would just need to be changed to NC_MidTown, but I don't think there are any in those attachment files.

I found a good post on raven's site that outlines all changes needed for the attachment mod:

If you need any help, just let me know.
