MyBB Community Forums

I upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8 on the weekend. Things were going along fairly well until some point yesterday when all of a sudden, the "toolbar" disappeared on the post editor.

The only thing I may have done before that happened was rebuild the forum display cache... but that's all I can think of.

I have tried setting the editor to a different one, like the Default, but that doesn't seem to help. Also, when I look at the jscripts directory, all I see in there is a directory for "default" and one for "Office_2007". Could that be a problem? (I was using the one called "office-toolbar" previously.)

Any ideas?

MyBB 1.8 uses SCeditor and you have to use MyBB 1.8 compatible theme

Thank you, .m. Will all my template changes disappear? I was desperately looking for theming help on the weekend, thinking I'd pre-tested everything on a dev site and assuming I'd have to use the new default theme... but instead, it upgraded my old theme. So I duplicated the Default theme and then did my changes to the templates and CSS from there. Does this mean that it is now not a compatible theme, then?

upgrading earlier theme requires many changes. you might have seen below guidance

upgrading guidance Wrote:Visit your Admin Control Panel, then go to Templates & Style > Templates > Find Updated Templates.
This will show you a list of all the templates that have changed during the upgrade.

You can either revert these templates to their default - meaning all the changes you've made to it will be removed - or you can see a Diff Report which will show you exactly what's changed. If you have a custom theme installed, it is probably best that you look at the Diff Report and apply the changes you need.

you have to ensure that posting related templates & headerinclude template have correct code
and there are no conflicting plugins.

Oh, but you see, I didn't want to upgrade my earlier theme.    I wanted the new default MyBB theme. I wrongly thought that the board theme would automatically change to the new default, but I understand now it doesn't. So that's fine, I changed to the default to get things working.

My concern was that if I messed with the styles of the default theme in the way I need to to adapt it to the look I want, those styles would be over-ridden with a MyBB update. So I suppose I was attempting a "child theme" by duplicating the default templates, calling it another name, and duplicating the default styles with the new name, and setting those up in the admin panel as the theme. Then I did my tweaks and everything seemed to be working fine for a couple of days, and now... well, insert my avatar here. LOL

So the big question is: If I change back to one of the colour choices of the default theme and I do the tweaks to the global.css and a couple of the templates, will I be safe with future MyBB updates?

Recreating the default theme is simplier: http://community.mybb.com/thread-158870-...pid1100165

  But that is what I did! I created a theme and called it a new name:



And I added a new template set and called it that name. My current set-up for this template/theme set is this:



So I'm totally missing what it is that I am missing. *sigh*

Noone is using the Default theme on the screenshot. What's your board URL?

My URL is http://www.thesimsdaily.net

I found this thread this morning - http://community.mybb.com/thread-169622.html - and I have tried everything on the page linked to (except for reverting to the old template, I've ditched it) and still no luck.

Fixed it by removing multiple replacements for smilies and confirmed this: http://community.mybb.com/thread-169583.html
