installation instructions but the "find" stuff is not there

[G1]

ok so this is what frustrates me a lot and i always end up just installing it anyway and denying the fact that there were errors as long as it works, only to bite me in the ass eventually (had to reinstall the whole forum again now). when i see errors, i try to fix them with the "find" then replace or add after or before stuff but the thing is there are times what i need to fix cannot be found, also when i try to copy the texts to fix it, i end up pasting a ton of gibberish html looking that has the needed text written but comes with a ton of html gibberish alongside with it. this is an example


      Execute Modification    ./Themes/core/BoardIndex.template.php    Test failed
      1.    Replace    ./Themes/core/BoardIndex.template.php    Test failed

ok so im like, cool i'm told to find this

echo ' </table> </div>'; if ($context['user']['is_logged'])

this is the only thing i find (some text is similar but not identical at all)
  echo '
      <table cellspacing="1" class="bordercolor boardsframe">';

(i copy the text im supposed to find in the control-f command and search cant find the exact line) ?!?!?


the other problem is this: i finally find what im looking for and try to copy the highlighted text with the select command, try to  paste the "fix" then end up pasting this

i dunno but it looks really bad to paste over a bunch of sensitve routines and subroutines.  please help anyone. im sure this is an easy thing to explain if you know how smf mods and edits are properly done. thank you.


some final notes about the conditions:

i am using rc4 curve default
i am confused whether i use legacy file manager in cpanel for fixes or just within the smf "modify themes" section
am i supposed to do fixes like these before or should i just install first, then do fixes

Are you using the core theme or the default theme?
If you are using just the default theme you can ignore core

For manual install instructions on custom themes I recommend using this
http://resourcez.biz/PackageParser/
over the built in package manager of SMF for formatting code anyway.

im confused with what the difference is between a core, curve theme and default theme

[SMFHacks]

On SMF 2.0 the curve theme is the default theme

On SMF 1.1.x the core theme is the default theme.

[G1]

i c. so now since im using curve theme, i have to address this now?



i think i understand it a bit

core is not related to anything 2.0 so i ignore errors related to it when im using rc4.
curve theme to 2.0x  is what core theme is to 1.x = they are totally unrelated, and curve is just a prettier default theme from the older smf

[SMFHacks]

No since it is a core error safe to ignore.
