Let me start by saying 1) thank you for creating an awesome-looking portal for use with SMF, 2) I know absolutely nothing about PHP and I inherited the forum I'm running from someone who lost interest. So I may need some really basic assistance with this stuff.
When I try to install SimplePortal 2.3.1 on my board running SMF 1.1.11, it says:
4. Execute Modification ./Sources/BoardIndex.php Test failed
(all of the other lines are successful)
These are the packages I have installed:
Mod Name Version

10. SMF 1.0.19 / 1.1.11 Update 1.0 [ Uninstall ]
I installed the 1.1.9 -> 1.1.10 and 1.1.10 -> 1.1.11 patches, but everything else was already installed when I inherited the forum. I can't figure out what #2, "Single Category" is even for, and it won't let me uninstall it (it says there isn't an uninstaller -- I tried just to see if the files it listed would make it any clearer as to what that mod is actually for.)
I saw in another topic that it was recommended to just go ahead with the install and then find/replace code in the file as detailed
here. I have not done that yet, but I tried opening up the boardindex.php file in notepad as it is now and searching for the "'href' => $scripturl . '#' . $row_board['ID_CAT']," line, and it was not there. Is that line only there after SP has been installed? Could another mod have changed it so that that line isn't there, in which case I won't be able to find/replace properly?
I'm just really afraid I'm going to mess the whole site up and not be able to fix it because I don't know anything about PHP, or anything more complicated than Geocities-level HTML. Thank you so much for your assistance. If it matters, the site is located at
