Description and Message
Hi, at the risk of sounding daft can anybody tell me where is the Mod tab in the ACP. I have installed the board3portal 1.0.2 (milky way style) but cant seem to find any access to it on the Acp. Have I missed something????. Thanks essexstardust

Sorry just to add it says this in diy instructions "Go into your ACP and then click on Mods. After that choose News in the Portal settings. Set "Reply and view counts display" to no, or the portal blocks will be pushed aside." This is what I cant seem to find, thanks

Did you install the portal itself and did you run the installer as instructed in the portal installation?

No I didnt run the installer I didnt realise you had to, I made all the file changes etc but didnt notice the installer. Since you mentioned it I have gone in and tried to browse to the install.php file as per the instructions but it doesnt't find it, its says cant find webpage, not sure exactly what to put in the address, I have tried this http://www.schooltalkuk.com/phpBB3/milk ... stall_php/. Sorry this is quite new to me, I am on a very steep learing curve.

You got to copy the install_portal-folder to your root folder!

Obviously you have installed your style (milky way) to a separate folder, styles have to be copied to /root/styles

root/phpBB3/milky_way/board3portal_1_0_2/install_portal/install_php/ will not work and root/phpBB3/milky_way/board3portal_1_0_2/ won't either!

means clearly to copy root/portal.php (from the downloaded archive) to root/ on your server.

"root" is the folder, where your phpBB3 is installed, in your case "phpBB3".

Thanks very much Thomas, i will work through this now, should set me on the staright and narrow, thanks again

Hi, I have installed the install_portal to my root (phpBB3) now. but when I try to browse to it I get this -----General error -Language file portal_install.php couldn't be opened. any idea why this would happen ?

--> KB: Solution: Language file xyz.php couldn't be opened!

but WHY!!!

Cause the language file is not where it is supposed to be. What should i say?
Please read the install instructions (in special the copy instructions) and the KB carefully again and follow them step by step.
