Definitely naughty *and* stupid...forgetting to backup a working modified file...
I wanted to get rid of the memberlist link as I have several hidden categories and forums and don't want the Memberlist to be so public. I found a post that said to remove the link and code at the top of overall_header.tpl
Code: Select all
<img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_members.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_MEMBERLIST}" hspace="3" />{L_MEMBERLIST}</a>
When I re-put this file back to the site the page displayed in raw form without the style and without anything above the "Your last post..." area.
I tried a few things including a simple undo which I thought would restore it easily. Eventually I just put a copy of the original downloaded overall_header.tpl and everything came back fine except the calendar mod header (of course) The calendar files are still there and I can see calendar.php.
I went back to the topic-calendar mod instructions and made the code changes by hand (first time used easy mod installer). After making these changes the header was back to the raw page without styles, no calendar links, and again nothing above the "your last post" area.
I'm used to making html and php types of changes on files but it seems like I can't touch the header tpl file without it blowing up on me. Am I going about this wrong? Is there some special way to edit the .tpl file?
Any help getting the calendar header mods back at the top of a working header would be appreciated.
