Topic: THREE critical installation bugs: Priority 1, Priority 2, Priority 2?

[christopher94523]

I originally noticed this as the problem: "Register button acts disabled in BlackBox20bp theme"

Go to <http://www.point-of-departure.org/forum/> and attempt to register.
http://www.point-of-departure.org/forum/index.php?action=register

I contacted a support associate at HostMySite.com (my CentOS/Webmin/VPS web service) who knows SMF well. His associate contacted me back with the following observations:

======== beginning of note from HostMySite ========

   "I took a look at this issue, and it appears that the page disables the register button until the  'I agree' is checked. However, some scripts that will actually activate the register button are not being loaded correctly. I was able to find the following URLs to included files that are returning 404 errors:

   http://www.point-of-departure.org/forum/Themes/default/scripts/script.js
   http://www.point-of-departure.org/forum/Themes/default/scripts/theme.js
   http://www.point-of-departure.org/forum/Themes/default/css/print.css

   I logged into the VPS, and it appears that the entire scripts directory is missing. Once these files are uploaded you should be able to register users as normal."

======== end of note from HostMySite ========

I assume that these should have been unpacked when I installed.

I just re-downloaded the 1.1.8 package, "smf_1-1-8_install.zip", to my iMac/G5/Leopard home system, and opened it up with Stuffit Expander.

I checked its flattened contents for the three files. Here's the results of my search:
   script.js:    smf_1-1-8_install/Themes/default/script.js
   theme.js:  --does not exist anywhere--
   print.css:   smf_1-1-8_install/Themes/default/print.css

In the on-the-server installed folders, there are files called "default/script.js" and "default/print.css".
They exist no where else.
They also are NOT in the correct places for some calls.
I do not know if other calls expect them in their current locations, in which case calls may be required, or symbolic links.

The third file, "theme.js", does not exist anywhere.

So, if I understand correctly, we have three bugs: two do not install to where they are sought, and the third does not exist! The former two files may have a simple workaround of creating a folder and putting them in it. The missing file presents us with a fatal error since there is NO workaround.

Yikes! Who tested the installer and verified the BOM (Bill of Materials)!!! Let me know how to proceed. I was QA for 18 years at Intel, Mentor Graphics, Network General, and Analogy (now a part of Synopsis). I will gladly verify the fix(es) and anxiously await being able to register forum users....

ADDITION OF APRIL 7:

The theme.js file is nowhere to be found in the install or a new unpacked zip of the installable package.

I created the scripts and css directories, which did not exist, and made them 744.

I copied http://www.point-of-departure.org/forum/Themes/default/script.js into the scripts directory.

I copied http://www.point-of-departure.org/forum/Themes/default/print.css into the css directory.

I need to find a theme.js file. Uncertain if it gets created from a template "on the fly"?

Thanks,
Chris

  i am way lost.. there is no theme.js 

second, you need to add a site link as the extremly long intro page you have up, i wasnt going to scroll the whole page.. the site isnt set to guest viewing and there doesnt look like there is anything wrong with the registration on your site.

the other 2 files/folders you have listed are not found in the 1.1.8 but is in the rc, so which version are you using?

and btw, welcome to smfhelper.. get comfy, there are a lot of posts you might find interesting to help you learn what and how to use smf here, if not, then ask and it will be posted. 

also, make sure you have the right theme version on the theme you are using.. it does have 2 versions..

From what I can see, your issue is solved. I typed in all the info on the page, selected I agree, the button works.

I just installed the theme on a 1.1.8 test site and it installed no problem no errors 
 
I did check your site and like brian says the button is working
