make_filename error

Posted: Mon May 09, 2005 8:51 pm

Hello,

I don't know what happened, but I am now getting the following error when loading my Forums, Members List, and Private Messages:

Quote:

Template->make_filename(): Error - file /overall_header.tpl does not exist

The ending is sometimes different when I load different pages, but it all references this make_filename().

One day it was working, the next I get these messages. I just downloaded chat's 3.0 fixes from the front page, and it still did not work. I do not know what is going on.

Can anyone help me?

Double check your template or the theme's forums folder to make sure overall_header.tpl is there, even if it is upload it from a freshly downloaded copy of the Nuke version you are running to make sure it's not corrupted.

I will try that, chat. Thanks.

This morning, I am getting a new error on all these pages:

phpBB : Critical Error

Error creating new session

I am so lost. Sad

Ok, fixed the second one. For some reason the upgradedb file didn't work. I manually changed the database and now I'm just getting the first error again.

Nope, still the same. Any other ideas?

Even going into the Admin area of the Forums, I get this:

Quote:

Template->make_filename(): Error - file /admin/index_frameset.tpl does not exist

What is this "make_filename" and why is it messing up my site??

Sounds like you have possibly deleted that crucial file. Verify that there is indeed a index_frameset.tpl in your modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/admin folder

If not, open a plain text editor like Windows notepad and copy the following code into it and save the file as index_frameset.tpl and then upload it to your modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/admin folder and that should resolve your issue.

Code:

<html>


<head>


<title>phpBB Administration</title>


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;">


</head>





<frameset cols="170,*" rows="*" border="2" framespacing="0" frameborder="yes"> 


  <frame src="{S_FRAME_NAV}" name="nav" marginwidth="3" marginheight="3" scrolling="auto">


  <frame src="{S_FRAME_MAIN}" name="main" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="auto">


</frameset>





<noframes>


   <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">


      <p>Sorry, your browser doesn't seem to support frames</p>


   </body>


</noframes>


</html>

The file can exist or it cannot exist. It doesn't matter, I still get that error.

And yes, I did add the code of yours and created a file to upload and test. Get the same error.

I actually have the file in the first error that I posted above. I get the error everytime.

I downloaded a fresh version of the 3.0 patch. I downloaded the version for 7.6 (with the 2.9 patch) and uploaded all the includes and Forum files. Same errors.

I have no idea what is going on. I cannot find the reference for make_filename() anywhere in my files.

That function is part of includes/template.php

Any idea why it doesn't find existing files?

Change the default theme to one of Nuke's core ones like DeepBlue to see if you can view the forums, the problem can be caused by one of several reasons, the ones i can think of right now are a messed up theme, usage of a non ported phpBB template, messing with the admin_styles section in the forum's admin area or missing files in the folder where the forums expect to find the template files which could be themes/fisubsilver/forums or modules/Forums/templates/subSilver.

I uploaded the ExtraLite theme to test it. Same errors.

What can I do to fix this? It was fine a week or two ago. I have no idea what changed. Can I go back to an older version or something?

Create a test superuser and pm me the login data and site url, i will check into it for you, i might also need ftp login info to verify the files.
