Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> I broke my forums

ok first off I am a newb

phpnuke 7.0

I tried adding a new style to my forums and I broke them
I added the file into forums folder next to the existing subsilver theme

I then when into the admin on the site and changed to the new theme.

I reloaded the page and went to forums through the admin and got a debug message

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not open forums template config file

DEBUG MODE

Line : 391
File : c:\program files\apache group\apache\root\includes\functions.php

so i went back into the folder where I added the new theme and deleted that folder hoping it would default back to subsilver. It didn't.

now I cannot access the forums admin in order to choose subsilver as the theme again (which was the original style)

any ideas?

thanks

Log into phpmyamin select the database then across the top click SQL paste this into it and hit GO:

UPDATE TABLE nuke_bbconfig SET default_style='1';

like I said I am a newb

where do i log into php my admin?

I am on the site as a superadmin

I go to the admin menu which are all icons

if i click on the icon for FORUMS then it goes to a page with the error i posted above

Save this as fixstyle.php upload it next to your config.php and your mainfile.php and then call it in your browser.

<?php
require_once("mainfile.php");
$style= "1";
$sql = "UPDATE ".$prefix."_bbconfig SET default_style = '".$style."'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
echo "Success!";
?>

ok i used editplus and created the fixstyle.php file and placed it in between the the config and main file.

now you said call it in my browser. so I double clicked it and a IE opened with page could not be found....it went looking for [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] (asterix are the ftp server)

so I am not sure what you mean by call it in your browser...I am pretty sure i did exactly what you said to do correctly but am not understanding how to complete this last part

NoteTab Light

Download that its free and doesnt have anything bad in it. Its compatible with windows any version. It will let you work with php. If not then use your notepad to save it as .php and upload through your [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] Then call it in a browser.

Type it in your browser "visit it" just like you came here.

What is it? Is it ftp//:***.**.**.**/fixstyle.php? If that's what you mean then I go to a cannot display page screen in internet explorer.

I think that what Telli is trying to tell you is to type in the web address where your fixstyle.php file is located. So instead of ftp//your-web-address/fixstyle.php it should probably be http://your-web-address/fixstyle.php.

ok,

It went to a page that said success!. when i typed in [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

I am still getting a error page when i try to access the forums icon from the admin page though.
