When I uploaded the style for my test site everything works great.

But now after having the Class Site phpbb updated and then installing the same style there. I'm having a problem.

I set the default in the phpconfiguration to the new style as on the test site.

I set the new style in the mkportal to forum as on the test site.

I set the new style in my personalcp to the new style as on the test site.

The problem on the "Live Site" is that when a classmate login it doesn't change to the style I loaded, but to a a ugly blue that I think is another phpbb style that can be used.

Everyone seems to have to go into the personalcp to change it to the RedSilver from the subSilver. Didn't have to do that on the test site.

Got any idea's what happening and how I can fix it?

What version of phpBB are you now running?

There is "user_style" database table row for the "phpbb_users" table which stores user theme preference.

First you could try to set the phpBB Configuration "Override user style" option to "Yes". This should replaces all users' style preferences with the default

if that doesn't work I am guessing that you could run a simple query to change all users' theme selection to your new default theme.

I tried the first option..

How do you do the other option of running a query? [I have no clue how to do that]

Sorry, but if you do not answer my specific question posted above I cannot help with this issue.

I set the phpbb configuration to the override user style option to yes. When a classmate came on the site it was with the new style. But when the classmate logon it went back to the old blue style. I do have on the site where they can go into the personal cp and make the change in preferences.

But I would like for it to already be in the new style when they come on the site and login to the site.

So what I was asking was how do you:

OK, I will try to look at this tomorrow. The query is very simple but I need to look at the phpBB 2.021 database structure to see if it has changed since I last looked.

I went ahead this past evening and just changed over all the members, so everyone is coming up with the right theme now.

Then I put on a test registration to see if it would load the RedSilver theme and it did. So it's probably ok now.

I sent you the user and pass to enter the site.

On this site on the memberlist page the column next to "Location" is actually the "Joined" column, however the class above has made a modification to have "Class Year" and have the information appear in the year and not the registration date.

On the profile page where it use to have MSN Messenger they have changed it to Class Year. This is where the information is pull from for the memberslist page.

Also on the profile page in the top right side is also listed Class Year with the registration date.

What I would like to accomplished on the test site is to have on the memberlist page to have the "Class Year" as this class does with the class year.

On the profile page to have the Class Year replace the MSN Messenger and pull the info from there for the memberlist page and also have Joined with the registration date also on the profile page.

Would you have any idea how to do that?

Oh also I have on the test site 2.0.21 version of phpbb 2

Hi Visiblesoul,

Could you tell me if the phpbb-mkportal-and mkportal oscommerce will all work together? And if I used a different template from phpbb would it also work with the mkportal oscommerce?

Yes, phpBB, MKPortal and the MKPortal OsCommerce module are all compatible. Honestly I can't remember how the template works with the OsCommerce module though. I played with Meo's install when he first coded it but I have never installed it myself. I personally like to keep e-commerce applications separate from community applications because there is a higher level of security needed for ecommerce and I do not like the idea of OsCommerce sharing the database with a forum. If someone is able to compromise the forum database they would have access to all of your customer information. I am not comfortable with that. I run OsCommerce on my dot com site and I simply skinned it to look like the rest of my site without integrating it.

I will try to look at the phpBB "Class Year" mod later this week. I am almost caught up on my work load.

OK I think this is what you need for the "Class Year" mod...

Try clicking "Delete Image" in your phpBB Profile and click "Submit".

Be sure you have correctly CHMODded the necessary phpBB directories or uploads might not work correctly.

that worked.

Thanks

Could you help me out with my phpbb version 2.0.21 I am getting this error

Unable to open connection to phpBB Server, reported error is:
Connection timed out

I went to phpbb and they had listed to see the following article http://www.phpbb.com...?article_id=324

I though it might have been in the Cookie Domain for #1 they had listed and tried making the change in the config in the forum acp but it didn't change anything as far the error.

Was just wondering if you might be able to help?

That error probably means that the phpBB server was having problems. Maybe it was overloaded because of the recent update. I would wait a day or so and see if the error goes away. If I am not mistaken, the error only affects the phpBB version check. It should not affect anything else in your installation. I saw that a lot of people on the phpBB forum were having the exact same issue. I also saw some posts on other forums that said the issue corrected itself. Let me know.

It corrected itself.

But it's cool to be able to ask someone who knows what there talking about and will respond. Thanks DKC

Hi Visiblesoul,

I know you don't work with cubecart but I was wondering if you looked at it if you could tell me how to remove the feature Tell a Friend? I would like to just remove it completely from the site.

I can't seem to get any response from cubecart on the question.
