I tried uploading BoH and Vertex manually, but Vertex doesn't do anything, BoH doesn't work without Vertex, and there is no guide on this site on how to make Vertex work. What do I do?

I do not. I have no mods installed.

I do not want to install AutoMod because there is no reliable guide on how to do it correctly. If you have a better guide for the most recent version, I would love to read it.

Well i can say that the autoMODs made by me they kind of are the same as in with autoMOD you have to upload files then navigate to install.  Its the same for Vertex but it also installs and or updates autoMOD at the same time so theres a little bonus.

If you dont mind you could allways make a temp account for me i can have the forum up and running in five minuites.  But if you do please use PMs and not this post.

Im off the bed now as its 3AM i will check post again tomorrow and look into the problem.

I re-created another beta site for experimentation, and AutoMOD complains about UMIL being out of date. but it looks like I can just upload and replace UMIL and it seems to be working ok. I hate it when there is no documentation for these steps.

Now that AutoMod is installed, i'm not sure what to do. There's no guide for this on Shape5 and there should be.

Yes im working on getting a manual up and running but now youve got autoMOD installed here is what to do as the autoMOD packages are not in the download section i will put them here.

Download both these packages.
I hope this works  Smiley

vertex_framwork_2_0_0_base.zip
AutoMOD_BridgeofHope.zip

First you will need to upload the vertex_framwork_2_0_0_base.zip file and extract it to your forum root

Navigate to your-site.com/install/ and click install ignore any errors and go to admin panel afterwards

Then go to autoMOD tab and install the first Vertex package followed by installing the AutoMOD_BridgeofHope.zip file using the browse button

Then just active the style in the styles tab then one last thing is to

DELETE the install directory in the root of you forum and that should be it.

Please let me know if this works i have tested it but more tests the better Smiley

Thanks
Dave

I had no problems doing what you said, and the forum looks great in preview, but the actual forum is broken:

Yes to fix this just go to the styles/S5_BridgeofHope/ directory and transfer the vertex folder to your pc then reupload that directory to the prosilver directory.


Let me know if everything runs after that please.

Thanks

This fixed the problem, at least, getting the theme to display. 50% of the time, when I click on Login or Register, the page duplicates itself, or is mirrored, one right under the other on the same page. There's clearly a code problem there.

EDIT:

My password stopped working and I had to reset it. But the page-mirroring problem wasn't an issue when I was logged out. Only when logged in.

On the main menu of you forum you should have a link named Style Admin just click on that and then scrool to the bottom and click the blue submit button that will fix it Smiley

I can't find a blue submit button anywhere in the style admin. Also, I don't have a Vertex tab in my ACP, so i'm not sure how to change anything.
