De.scription and Message

I'm trying out some new templates but my left hand blocks don't show. I've added the blocks and files to the new template.
Would it be because the new templates are narrower? Or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks <img>

I just followd your link and I did infact se left side (header) blocks. Are you referring to special blocks not included with Integramod package?

If you have added any other blocks make sure they are activated in the IM Portal Blocks management section of the ACP. Most likely are activated but I had to get the basics out of the way. <img>

Oh that's my old template, I changed from the new one as my site is live and it loked awful.

Its on my test baord you can see it there, sorry should've put that link instead. Ignore the colours they aren't right <img>

are you using IM Portal by any chance? If so, I would guess that the file edits to overall_header need to be done as well as overall_footer.

I had a theme show up like that once when I forgot to do those 2 edits. Any time you add a theme to your board and are using IM Portal, you must do those 2 edits to get the site to work properly.

Now that is just a guess. I looked at your de.scription and it just says standard phpBB. Well, my gues came into play when blocks were mentioned. Blocks are not standard on a vanilla phpBB. <img>

Here are the 2 file edits in question

Code: Select all

# #-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------ #  templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/overall_header.tpl  # #-----[ AT THE END OF THE FILE, ADD ]------------------------------------------ #  <table><tr> {PORTAL_HEADER}<td><img></td><td>  # #-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------ #  templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/overall_footer.tpl  # #-----[ AT THE START OF THE FILE, ADD ]------------------------------------------ #  {PORTAL_TAIL}<td><img></td></tr></table>  # #-----[ OPTIONAL ]------------------------------------------ #  Create a link in your header to point to portal.php by editing page_header.php and overall_header.tpl

Please verify your install for us. Is it infact a standard phpBB or is it phpBB and IM Portal or is it Integramod 1.4.1

That was it! *slaps head*

Yep its phpbb 22 with IM Portal.

Thanks for your help <img>

Oh and for the record, if you are using phpBB 2.0.22, you are out of date. phpBB 2.0.23 Legacy was released last week I think it was. Simple edits and it wont mess up your board at all.
