what did I do? hehe I tried to modify the modules.php file and get this when you try to access any modules.

Corrupted it I assume

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/extremeh/public_html/modules.php on line 41

anything I can do?

First of all, change you first posts subject so people know what you have a problem with.
People tend to ignore posts that say 'help' which is why, in the forum rules, we recommend you put something meaningful in the subject field.

Right, now thats out of the way, why where you editing modules.php? Whar were you trying to install?
This might give us a clue as to why you are getting that message.

I am a newbie at this sorry, I tried to add a php script next to the default banner
I downloaded a back up the file to my PC added a php script cause I thought I could and it caused it to get the error in my first post.

So I uploaded the backup I made and now I get that

It seems as though your back is either corrupted or did not get uploaded correctly.
Do you still have the original file from the Raven Nuke package you could try?

extremehp · Hangin' Around Joined: Aug 02, 2006 Posts: 25

eh I uploaded the one from the pack and now I get a blank page on the home page

and with the admin.php geesh this dont look good

Guardian2003 · Site Admin Joined: Aug 28, 2003 Posts: 4658

Was everything working fine before this?
It still sounds to me like either the file is not ftping correctly or is corrpted in some manner.
I would download the package again and upload that file to ensure it is 'clean'.

Have you edited any other files?

extremehp · Hangin' Around Joined: Aug 02, 2006 Posts: 25

yes everything was working fine, just wanted to add that php script. I uploaded a clean copy from the install pack and nothing.

extremehp · Hangin' Around Joined: Aug 02, 2006 Posts: 25

you think replacing all the files in the root public_html folder would help?

Guardian2003 · Site Admin Joined: Aug 28, 2003 Posts: 4658

Then something else has to be wrong as if that is the only file you touched, uploading a 'clean' one should have fixed it.
What is the link to your site?

Yes I would re upload everything, something isnt right there.
Make sure you inlcude the Senset theme files too as that is what you have the site default set to.

extremehp · Hangin' Around Joined: Aug 02, 2006 Posts: 25

by everything you mean everything in the HTML directory or just the root files?

Guardian2003 · Site Admin Joined: Aug 28, 2003 Posts: 4658

If this is a new site, which it sounds as though it is, upload the whole lot again.

extremehp · Hangin' Around Joined: Aug 02, 2006 Posts: 25

it is but its been up for a few days, what about the forums data base will I loose all of that?

Guardian2003 · Site Admin Joined: Aug 28, 2003 Posts: 4658

No, you are only uploading the files themselves, not doing a database install.
Just to be on the safe side, do not upload the INSTALLATION folder.

extremehp · Hangin' Around Joined: Aug 02, 2006 Posts: 25

ok looks like its working, screwed up one of my accounts but everything is back

geesh, wont do that again, take a look at my site if I wanted to add like a little php banner rotator next to the default banner how would I do that?

Guardian2003 · Site Admin Joined: Aug 28, 2003 Posts: 4658

Nuke has its own banner system. You can create banners that rotate through all the banners you have and either have them appear in the header or as a block like the one you have for 'Supporting Vendors'. BTW you might want to look at the soze of that image as it is pushing the block out of alignment.

ok only question I have left is, what I was trying to do was add a rotating image banner next to the top most banner in the 3-D Fantasy theme.

How do I go about doing that?

ANd by the way thank you so much for all your help last night

Depending on the actual theme you might need to make an extra set of TD tags within the confines of the table. This would give you the extra 'cell' in which to put your banner code.
I do not have the theme code handy to look at but I'm guessing it could be done in either the theme.php file or the header.html file.
Depending on your exact needs and the size of banners you were thinking of using, you could always modify the main root banners.php file.

Care should be taken on the size of banners you are going to use. Get it wrong and you could end up with either a very wide page or the images being resized out of proportion to fit within the confines of the themes main outer table.

If Jaded is around or someone with the theme files handy they might be able to give you exact edits to make.
