YAP

[命ebelRose]

The default theme should have all the templates, if a different theme calls for a template it does not have itself then the default templates are use. When updating and/or designing a theme you fewer templates than the default  thank goodness.

[Skhilled]

The problem with YAP, current version, is even the default theme needs to be modified to work with it. At least, on rider's site.

Switching to the default or any non-YAP theme causes an error. There is a modified default that does work. If YAP can be made to work with the default theme it might be easier to create themes for it.

Correct me if I'm wrong.The YAP2 is the default theme in order to run YAP.So if I mod the templates for it then it should be up to date right?Or is there more?I've updated them and installed it on another test site.I made a couple of errors but fixed them.Everything seems to work.LOL.My next ? is,what do I need todo to update the themes themselves?Do I change the code for the index.template.php as I would for the YAP2 index template.php?Or do I just need to change 1.1rc2 to include 1.1.2?

Oh man, your asking me    well I won't lie, I would not give an answer to that without seeing a running version of Yap and seeing the default theme and a theme you wanted to update.

I'm sure there's away to do but one thing at a time.LOL.You can still switch to default for installing mods and stuff.YAP is abit like TP.In a sense the YAP themes are like a TP theme.You can't run a regular smf theme in TP just like you can't using YAP.I would assume converting themes to use with YAP would be simalier to converting themes for TP.Just a matter of learning how to do it right.So basicly how it works is the default theme works with all smf themes and YAP2 is the default for all themes made for YAP.I hope to have it all together some day too.Until that happens I'm actully have a blast playing around.

What do you to see?I've updated all the files in the YAP2 theme and it seems to work ok.I think the big rewrite is with the YAP mod itself.I haven't looked at it .......yet.lol.

[命ebelRose]

It if is like TP, then the themes only need minor modifications to work, but they should be at least the same version as the default theme. I will try to give it a good look later this week.

[rider]

Thats just my comparison.I'm sure they're written completely different.What PHP's do I need to look at to compare them?

[命ebelRose]

I would compare the default themes for both. I would compare all the templates, but that is just me. I like to be sure. You can use a file comparison program to do it easily, something like beyond compare. That is what I use.

Thanks.Where would I get a copy of that program?

[命ebelRose]

Let me look I may have a copy here on my desktop somewhere 


Found it:

Beyond Compare

Guess I will make a board for Yap, at this rate this thread will get long 

[命ebelRose]

Now that will teach you to come talking about YAP,  , check out the moderator of the board.

I haven't tried that one. I usually use conText. I guess I'll have to COMPARE the 2. LOL

@Skhilled

[rider]

Great program.I can see the differences btw the 2 index.template.php.Whats the best way togo about it?Should I add the YAP2 code to the default index or vice-versa.Any ideas on how I can make the YAP mod writeable to the default index.template.php?

[命ebelRose]

I would take, for example the mod.xml or whatever of another mod that is close to YAP, and convert it to use with YAP. Once it installs like a normal mod then I would take the converted default theme and copy the needed code from it to any other themes I wanted and/or needed to convert.

[rider]

UGH!!!!! More homework.LOL.I'll have to give it ago.Thanks for all the help so far Rebelrose.
I have an idea what I need todo.

I don't know how much help I have been, but your welcome 

[rider]

damage report.   .By following the instructions in your thread about changes from 1.1RC3 to 1.1,I think I've successfully managed to update YAP2 and a few of the themes. .After modding the right files everything seems to work.
In admin >themes every theme says 1.1. and no errors that are theme related.LOL.
As for the changing the YAP mod well that could be beyond me. .
RebelRose I saw you signed at ALPHA1 site,I made you admin so you can check things out.
This is ALPHA2 with the updates.
http://ridersplace.net/Alpha2/index.php?action=forum
I'll admin you there to if you'd like.
Don't kid yourself you've helped lots.

I think that is not suppose to be there.

[命ebelRose]

So Yap is a mod, like Tiny Portal correct? The install of it needs to be modified so that the Yap admin is inside the forum admin panel like TP is.

[命ebelRose]

ok I fixed that.

[rider]

I noticed I did the the same thing to the ruby theme.I fixed it. Thanks for the fix.Yap&TP are pretty much the same.
Yap is like what TP was about 2yrs ago.I'm sure redone will rewrite it to do that.I just don't know when.Meanwhile I'll play around.LOL.
How'd I do with the themes?Not bad for not having a clue until a couple of days ago.
I noticed one of the themes is missing a forum tab.I'll have to fix that.

[命ebelRose]

You did very well, you also have a few images missing. Good Job
