Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Themes won't change in Admin panel

I host with Yahoo! Through them I installed PHP-Nuke 6.5. Next I

downloaded version 8.0 from php-nuke.org and installed updates.

I did not get any error messages, so I assume the upgrade went

fine.

Next I created a God account.

When I try to change the default theme, nothing happens.

1. STARTING HERE: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

2. Under "Web Site Configuration" I choose THEMES

(http://xxx.yyyyy.org/admin.php?op=themes).

3. I selected a theme from the dropdown menu and click "save changes."

**In case it matters, my AutoTheme module is activated and I do NOT allow users to change themes.

Oddly, though DeepBlue is the default, the one showing in the dropdown menu is 3D-Fantasy.

The same issue is affecting the "General Site Info." Nothing I enter is saved after I click "save changes."

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the config table didnt get updated. Can you attach a copy of your admin/modules/settings.php and a copy of your nuke_config database table?

Thanks for the prompt reply. The files are attached. FYI: For enhanced security I changed the nuke_ prefix to pingb_

Oops! I forgot to attach the setting file.

So nothing saves in the admin config? Does it redirect back to the same admin config page when you press save? Try changing one of the save functions to check for a database error then try saving that section.

function savethemes

function savethemes($xDefault_Theme, $xoverwrite_theme) {
   global $prefix, $db, $admin_file;
   $xDefault_Theme = filter($xDefault_Theme, "nohtml", 1);
   $xoverwrite_theme = intval($xoverwrite_theme);
   $result = $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_config SET Default_Theme='$xDefault_Theme', overwrite_theme='$xoverwrite_theme'");
   if (!$result) {
      die(mysql_error());
   }
   Header("Location: ".$admin_file.".php?op=themes");
   die();
}

Now I get the following message:

"Unknown column 'overwrite_theme' in 'field list'"

And, yes, nothing saves in the admin config? It redirects back to the same admin config page when I press save.

Run this query in phpmyadmin:

ALTER TABLE nuke_config ADD overwrite_theme varchar (255) NOT NULL default '';

I had not added any data so I just deleted and started over. That took care of the problem. Thank you VERY much for your help.
