Awesome!!! Congratulations Dha!!! 
Restore the EM Backups, then make the following adjustments to the MOD script. How many alternative templates do you have installed on your forum? The following should work with both the subSilver and guildwars templates...
Ok, try this:
OPEN
album_v2056/install.txt
FIND
| Code:
|
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<td align="center" width="100%" valign="middle"><span class="maintitle">{SITENAME}</span><br /><span class="gen">{SITE_DESCRIPTION}<br /> </span>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="mainmenu">
|
REPLACE WITH
| Code:
|
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
class="mainmenu"
|
The following modification will work with ALL languages that you support on your forum...
FIND
| Code:
|
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
//
// Errors (not related to a
// specific failure on a page)
//
$lang['Information'] = 'Information';
$lang['Critical_Information'] = 'Critical Information';
|
REPLACE WITH
| Code:
|
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
?>
|
Save, upload, and try again using EM...
If you don't understand why my suggestion above will work, please ask. Once you understand the basics of how to get these MODs to install cleanly, you should be able to install even the most difficult MODs using EM...
Restoring EM Backups
If a MOD that you installed with EM hosed your board or you decide that you just don't want it, simply go into EM History in your ACP MOD Center and click on the Details button next to the MOD entry..
On the bottom of the next page, select Restore Backups and press the Go button. Make sure you DON'T select the Remove Record option or you will be forced to manually rolll back the EM backups that were created for you. I will have to walk you through that if need be...
Next you will see a page to confirm eht operation. You would choose Yes:
MODs can only be uninstalled in reverse order that they were installed: FILO (First In, Last Out). So if you installed a MOD, then several others, then decided to remove the first one, you would have to Restore the backups of the other MODs before you could Restore the backups on the first MOD...
Restoring EM Backups (Manual Instructions)
If you are unable to get into the ACP, you will need to use these manual instructions to Restore the EM Backups...
Download the backups folder that EM created for you in the MOD sub-folder found in admin/mods. Strip the .txt extension from each file in every folder in the backups folder. So the resulting file extensions will be php, tpl, css, and cfg. Upload the files back to their proper locations on your board; i.e.
- copy backups/admin/*.* to phpBB/admin/*.*
- copy backups/includes/*.* to phpBB/includes/*.*
- copy backups/language/lang_english/*.* to phpBB/language/lang_english/*.*
- copy backups/templates/subSilver/*.* to phpBB/templates/subSilver/*.*
- copy backups/*.* to phpBB/*.*
Of course if you have alternate templates and language folders, you will need to copy the files for them as well. I'm referring to phpBB as your forum's root folder in the above copy commands. If your root folder has any other name, just substitute phpBB with the name of your forum's root folder name...

I'm really not quite sure I understand what you're asking here. If you are asking whether you can modify the MOD scripts like we did with this MOD when other conflicts arise, the answer is yes. I've installed over 800 MODs into RCF using EM and we have 12 templates. Whenever a conflict arises between a MOD and our forum code, I can modify the MOD script to work with our code and install it using EM. It's really pretty easy once you know the easy to learn tricks at your disposal...

That was my question.
I've installed some more mods and without problems installing them. Some mods do have some problems of their own but the installation works perfect now.
thx again and best regards,
Didier |

If you ever encounter a conflict between a MOD script and your forum code and aren't sure how to handle it, just post the Critical and/or Warning errors here and we will be happy to walk you through it until the MOD will install cleanly using EM...
