Topic: Unable to load the 'Portal' template.

[Dortez]

Hello SP!

Currently, my forum (SMF 2.0 RC3) is not working after a manual install of SimplePortal 2.3.2.

Under the ?debug, I can access the entire site without errors, minus the "SIMPLEPORTAL" header under Admin.  I recieve the error "Unable to load the 'PortalAdmin' template" and obviously, can not edit it.

During the manual install, I followed the 2.0 RC3 parse on the SMF install page.  There were approximately 6 code errors, all of which I found except for two.  The line "\?(?:' . SID . ';)((?:board|topic" does not exist in the QueryString.php and Subs.php files, so I can not replace it with "\?(?:' . SID . ';)((?:board|topic|page".  However, I did find the line "\?((?:board|topic|page" but after toying with that a little bit I just can't make it work (I know nothing about coding)
EDIT:  Turns out my paste skills aren't that great, and I missed a character while pasting the new code.  However, the Portal and PortalAdmin templates still give errors.

If this is a simple fix I missed somewhere along the way in the instructions, I deeply apologize for my idiocy.  I also appreciate your time in this manner, and hope to hear from you soon!

Please check your default template directory for template.PortalAdmin.php

Thanks for nudging me in the right direction, AngelinaBelle!

I had to upload the template files in the /Themes directory from the install files to the current theme I'm using (now that I think back, I probably should have tried that sooner)

I apologize for the newbie question that started this, and look forward to future developments of SimplePortal.

It should be enough to have that file in the Themes/default.
It shouldn't need to be copied into every theme directory.
