QUOTE (jlhaslip @ Jan 3 2009, 08:58 PM) The Themes are quite easy to install. Simply copy the default Theme files into a new folder and then adjust the CSS, etc as you require for the new Theme.Then, select the Theme you want from inside the ACP. Simple. You can have multiple Themes loaded at all times, hut only one is the Default. Most Themes have been able to move along with the versions as they are released quite easily. The core of the package has had very few structural changes, so...

In your FTP client, right click on universal.php. There will be a menu that drops down (obviously). Within that menu there may be an option to CHMOD, but if there isn't it usually can be done through the properties menu. CHMODding is changing read, write, and execute permissions for different user levels. 0777 allows anybody to read, write and execute. So you would either type in 0777 in a box if you are given it or just select all the boxes that the CHMOD interface provides.
It really depends on the FTP client as every client does it slightly different...But that should be able to assisst you a little bit. If you are still lost just say what FTP client you use (WinSCP, Filezilla, CutFTP, etc...) and I can give you more detailed instructions.

I uplated with my Cpanel Looked for anything that would change all that and found it but will only gives me 3 numbers not 4 for typing in 0777
Then don't put in the 0. Sometimes it is referred to with the 0 sometimes not. I am not sure why they put it in there, but you just live with it I guess. All you will need to do in CPanel, then, is put a 7 in each spot. That will give you a the correct permissions.
And good choice on AEF. I used to design for them. They are provide great forum software. Very fast and beautiful.
didnt need too just clicked world. Thanks. so simple Now I feel really dumb lol Thanks
Be careful. There is a high risk vulnerability that could have possibly not been solved yet.
When you chmod the universal.php, it can be manipulated by an outside source, basically injected with the manipulaters wanting. Be sure when you finish installing, remove the 777 chmod, to be safe. I fell into this security mod, and being in the AEF staff back then, it was quickly dispatched to the others, and they fixed their problem.
Yea beat you to the punch. changed everything back right after I did it. Now trying to figure out of the Database and all that good stuff. Not like with the other board I have when I installed it it did all this for me. Echo Proof lmao
Haha, do you need help with the rest of the install?
I might but just playing around with this, will not be be using it on my site. more or less just learning.
Indeed, as tramp points out in his reply above, the universal.php needs to be able to write to the file so the permissions require chmod 777 on install or when you are altering certain settings inside the Forum software (Core Settings in the Admin Control Panel), but the normal usage of the software could be set at 655 for the most part.
It is a good idea to revert the settings to 655 just in case there is a security issue on the Forum. Keeping the settings at 777 is not an issue by itself, but the file could be affected if the Software installation is violated. The Forum is MORE secure with the 655 settings. The 777 permissions alone is not an un-secure setting. There has been only one major security instance involving the AEF software and it was patched with AEF 1.07 by uploading and replacing a single file. No sites were hacked or damaged under that security issue. It was discovered by a Security Audit and immediately patched without a public awareness of its presence. Members are urged to upgrade to the newest version, AEF 1.08, which includes the security patch and several new features and enhancements. More new stuff coming in AEF 1.09, expected soon. Calendar event implementation, new bbcodes, new Themes and other mods to the core will be included. Watch for them.

Hopefully it will be ready for the next release (1.09) at least as a beta version. And fully released in AEF 1.10. At least that is the current plan, subject to Developer availability. If you know any Developers looking for a project tot tackle, the AEF project could sure use them. And Language Translators, too... always need Translators as the new releases are made public... Do they have detailed instructions on how to edit the CSS? Like what to open, what code goes where, etc.? That was an issue with PhpBB. Not only is it hard to install the mods to every theme, but along with that you also had to *know* what to do with everything. There were many mods where the forum threads were full of people asking how to install them, without even one reply. That's the kind of thing I am trying to get away from.
I'll pass on your request for a Doc on the converter. thanks for the suggestion.

I sure will be watching out for that along with any updates JL. and as I told you today too. I think maybe a simple doc file telling in simple tearms of how to install the converter along with the board it's self would be a great idea. I know I can not be the only n00b out there that can't figure out something like that. Other than that I really like this better than the SMF I was using before. Just have to Echo Proof it lmao QUOTE (jlhaslip @ Jan 3 2009, 10:58 PM) The Themes are quite easy to install.

LMAO Things are never easy JL, Ask tramp. All is working now and I would like to say a very big thank you to you all for the help QUOTE (rpgsearcherz @ Jan 3 2009, 03:27 PM) In terms of the "very easy to use" part...What about mod installing? Like, if you have, say 4 different themes, do you have to manually go through each one to install the various mods? That is one of the things that is pushing me away from modding anything at all in terms of forums: it's just too much work. I'm tired of having 50 people want various themes and then have to go through them one by one and re-mod each one with every addition and all. The Themes are quite easy to install.
