Title: Where is the GENERAL SETTINGS tab?
Post by: Nakroma on April 19, 2014, 08:55:44 AM: Yes this is not a smart question.

According to this I should go into the general settings tab, but I can't even find the configuration.
Soo where is it ;-;?

Thats my problem to begin with, where is this "SimplePortal" Button?

Post by: oNLy1 on April 20, 2014, 03:39:08 PM: should be listed as this (without any other mods)
Main
Configuration
Forum
SimplePortal
Members
Maintenance

If it is not, then its possible that you don't have SP installed
or it did not do those edits (for whatever reason)
if you have a custom theme, you may need to manually install

link to site, SMF version, etc etc
the more info you give us, the more support we can provide

You can see Simple Portal there. If you dont, probably not installed correctly.

Yep thats missing.
How do I install it correctly tough? I installed it trough the package menu and it even says that it's installed.

Post by: AngelinaBelle on April 21, 2014, 02:47:35 PM: It seems that the installation failed. This happens sometimes, invisibly. Package Manager THINKS that it succeeded, when it actually failed to install the package.

Quite often, when this happens, it is a CHMOD problem.

Please read through http://simpleportal.net/index.php?action=docs;area=solving_install_problems
I hope this information will help you solve your install problem.

You may need to uninstall the mod, fix the CHMOD problems, and then re-install.

Post by: USFA on April 21, 2014, 04:37:46 PM: Also you can try removing the program either uninstall or delete.
( I say uninstall because it can say it was when it was not).
Try downloading another copy and then try it again, couple question I have
are is this being done on a modded theme ?
Also at install look to see if anything shows up in red before you push the install link.

Post by: AngelinaBelle on April 22, 2014, 11:04:39 AM: USFA has a good point -- if you are using a custom theme that does not use the menu from subs.php, Simple could be simply not visible on the menu.

You can test this by trying the url
index.php?action=admin;area=portalconfig

If you wind up at the administration center rather than on the simpleportal admin page, then you know simpleportal is not all there!
