Some Name Alteration Items

[David]

OK I'll attach it below.

N.B install it via the package manager as you would with any other mod.

I installed the display name css file, but when I try to install the actual NameAlterations.zip file in the package manager, it tells me this.

The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

What am I doing wrong?

IWhat am I doing wrong?

 Most everything really...

 The NameAlterations zip file isn't an installation package at all so the package manager won't handle it. You unpack it on your local machine then put the items into the shop items directory just like any other items.

Installing this package will perform the following actions:                  Type Action Description
1. Extract File ./Sources/shop/items/ChangeDisplayNameCSS.php 
2. Extract File ./Sources/shop/items/ResetDisplayNameCSS.php 
3. Execute Modification ./Sources/Load.php                             Test failed
4. Execute Modification ./Sources/MessageIndex.php              Test failed
5. Execute Modification ./Sources/BoardIndex.php                         Test successful
6. Execute Code installScript.php   


please help

Another mod you have installed has already edited the files that show fails you thus need to do a manual installation of this mod. Please read:

Just use the Reset display name CSS item...I'll add it to this posting to save you work finding it...add it to the shop as you would any item and allow it to be bought as required.

Hey guys,

I'm getting confused here. So, I've installed "Change Display Name CSS 1.0", but how do I upload the new name alteration styles you've posted? When I try adding the file as a .zip, I get this error:

The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

When I try to zip the files individually and upload it, that doesn't work either (displays the same error as above).

I also noticed another problem. After installing the Change Display Name CSS, it overrides the current colour styles for existing membergroups. Can this be prevented?

What should I do? Thanks~

[David]

Unzip any name alteration packs...take the individual name alteration files and,  via ftp, put them in forum root/sources/shop/items and any images for them in forum root/sources/shop/item_images then install them via ACP in the shop add/edit/delete items.

[shelikesrain]

ok, I've tried that, but it doesn't appear in the shop to be edited or anything.

Would you know how to stop this mod from overriding membergroup colors by any chance as well?

[David]

Firstly new items won't appear in  the shop unless you install them via the ACP...just adding them to the right directories is only the start of the process.

 You can't restrict the items by membergroup unless you use the permissions system to block specific membergroups from access to the shop entirely.

I downloaded the large zip file of them, and tried downloading it in the package manager, did I do something wrong? It said invalid file.

[David]

Yes...they aren't a mod package. The files are individual items for the shop. Please read the earlier questions and replies in this topic where the details of how to use them have been given already.

It would be much easier for you to just tell me how though, and come on, there are 6 pages of this thread, and I already have a headache.
