Geeklog Forums

Hi folks,

A user changed the theme in his 'Preferences' to SmoothBlue from Gameserver. But the site isn't set up for any other themes. I should have disabled this preference for users. I made the same change to the preferences for my own non-admin account. Obviously no problems until I log in and then I get the following error,

Template Error: set_root: /hsphere/local/home/fjryanio/trojanswimclub.ie/layout/Smooth_Blue/forum/layout is not a directory.
Halted.

So this now means I can't change the theme back to 'gameserver'.

I think it's strange that '.../forum/...' is in the path name of the error.

Any ideas?

Those who say it can't be done, are usually interrupted by others doing it.

Just remove the Smooth_Blue directory altogether. When Geeklog can't find a theme, it will revert to the default theme (the one in config.php).

bye, Dirk

Just temporarily rename your Smooth_Blue directory to something like Smooth_Blue~ and then GL will default to whatever you have in config.php, in your case gameserver. Then you can add the missing forum files and rename the directory back to Smooth_Blue.

Just remember, as long as that directory is there, somebody can change it again until you either remove like Dirk suggested, or disable user themes.

I actually just now did disable user themes.

By the way,
rfot where did you get the winking tux?
Is it for anyone to use?
I wouldn't use it here of course, just on my own site.

Don't remember where it originally came from, but you can get it fullsize by doing a save image at our library catalog site. There was no copyright problem, which is why I didn't keep track. Of course there is always Larry Ewing's original Tux.
