Editable Home Page Centerboxes [Support]

[shags38]

I'm not home so I can't look at anything right now but you're going to have to compare the 1.3 .9 code to 1.5 .1 code I'm not sure what the differences are but they're probably minor But you need to start with making sure that all the files that these two mods have in common are properly merged..

Diva, thanks very much for all your time and efforts to date trying to help me with this. I am not very proficient with merging of files or folders (one can be a struggle let alone a number of them) however I will give it a shot when time permits (the reference to 'properly merged' is a scary thought). At present I will put up with the tabs missing, a pity though, Anne's template is so appealing. Maybe one day someone may revise the module such that it can integrate automatically with any template (if that is at all possible :) ).

I'm not giving up .... just a tactical withdrawal to re-group.

Cheers, Mike

This module WILL integrate with ANY template.. There is NOTHING that needs to be done or revised to this module to make it "integrate automatically with any template". I have said this many times, and I'm not sure how I can make any CLEARER what THE issue is.. The template you are using is integrated with a module called "Tabbed Home Page Modules". "Tabbed Home Page Modules" is not a unique module made JUST for the Abbington Mega template.. It is a add-on like any other add-on that ANYONE using ANY TEMPLATE can download and install.

"Tabbed Home Page Modules" does NOT (but should) include the tab code on the "tpl_index_categories.php" file. With this code missing, IF you have categories set to display on the home page, the tabs will NOT display. This is why I referenced the post by GAM on the "Tabbed Home Page Modules" support thread..

In order to get this module to work WITH "Tabbed Home Page Modules", you must make the changes from the post by GAM in the "Tabbed Home Page Modules" support thread to add the "Tabbed Home Page Modules" code to the "tpl_index_categories.php" file, then you must merge the code from this module with the following files from the "Tabbed Home Page Modules" module.

• tpl_index_default.php
• tpl_index_categories.php

Now despite the fact that you do not seem to want to believe me when I say this THIS is the issue summarized.. It's NOT the template.. You simply do not have the files merged correctly.

I would strongly suggest that if this a bit over your head to do, you REALLY should to give some thought to simply hiring someone to help you merge these two modules so that they work together..

Starship Enterprise to Houston - message received loud and clear. Editable Home Page Centerboxes can be used with any template except if that template is using Tabbed Home Page Modules integrally in which case certain files from Tabbed Home Page Modules and Editable Home Page Centerboxes need to be merged and then loaded into the template being used - simple really, left hand introduces itself to right hand so they can handle things together.

As I said previously, I will look to try to do the merging of the files - wish me luck. I am asking Anne to have a look at it for me given that of the 3 components involved (template and 2 plugins) she is the author of 2 and given that one plugin is actually integral in her template design and not actually a plugin any more, as such she may be able to actually merge the required files successfully from the 3, which is really now only 2, and then post the merged files and everyone using her template will get the benefit of such a merger.

Again Diva, many thanks for all your help to date.

cheers,
Mike

The "pre-installation" of a module doesn't mean it's no longer a module.. but you are insistent on seeing things in this manner.. **shrugs**

You really should take my advice and seek some paid assistance. Wish you luck..
