Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exist

[NeoMort]

I just recently installed a new template on my clan forum. Everything works except the RSS feed, which gives out the error: Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exist. I should also point out that the RSS feed works perfectly on subsilver. Any ideas???

Hi!
That sounds like a bug with the RSS Feed MOD.
You'll need to post over in its thread.

# This is a quick hack to fix an error in the phpBB error message
# "Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exist."  This error message is
# supposed to include the filename of the non-existent file, but this was broken in
# phpBB 2.0.4 and later versions.

# Please note that this fix is neither compatible with nor required in the eXtreme
# Styles hack or phpBB 2.0.0 - 2.0.3.
