hi. sent an email to you as well but figured i'd post here in case others encounter this...i've got my site running on mediatemple, gd support is there, running drupal6, php5 etc...

uploaded fonts (ttf) into the folder, followed the instructions but still do not see an option to enable pictotitle - it is grayed out.

do i need to do something else? disable logo and other things in the theme? please advise.

this theme is awesome! showed it to some facebook users and they loved it...you oughta consider a port to wordpress too ;)

you need to check a box, then click submit, then you go again on the settings page and click some more options, then click submit, etc.

the settings are not done in one go but with several submits. Seems stupid to me, but once I figured it out I simply do it and don't think much more about it.

check what box and click submit? i don't get it...there are a bunch of checkboxes (show logo, tagline etc) for the forum....but the actual picto option is grayed out...could you elaborate?

Hi,

There is a known problem with the fonts detection. The fonts files must have .ttf extension (not .TTF or .Ttf).

Renaming fonts file solve your problem ?

nope - renamed ADLER___.ttf (it was TTF) and still no luck - should i be selecting and deselecting boxes as mentioned above? and if so, which ones?

i would really love to use the pictotitles font support - though please note that the rest of theme works and looks extremely well....having some odd problems with polls (displaying results for already voted polls that are still open, not sure what it is, theme doesn't 'consistently' like them)

OK, I thought you were confused by the multiple validation process, but it seems you can't get past the first step because it's greyed out. Perhaps it has to do with the file system you're using? private/public. I use public on all my sites where fblike is installed.

Also, did you install the fblike theme in /sites/all/themes/fblike/ ? because the path is hard coded in the theme.

not sure how to check public/private - what do you mean? the files are public (for upload etc)..as for the path, yes, i saw earlier threads about line15 issues - actually tried it both ways (themes/ and sites/all) - my install is at root, so 'sites/all' path should be working...could it be something to do with the / slash in front of that line? i'm also on mediatemple, so not sure if there is some other path that needs to be created...

hooray - i figured it out...after looking over the line 15 discussion and the path /sites/all etc...i realized that this particular theme **requires** that one adhere to best practices.

specifically, this theme - to work best and to fix this issue that i was having - must reside in sites/all/themes on it's own, not get dropped into drupal's default core themes folder..

all of the devs say that any user uploaded module or theme should go in it's own sites/all/themes or /modules folder and that FIXED the problem for me and it is now working beautifully!

again, if you navigate to sites/all/ in your drupal install you'll see a little readme telling you to create two folders there called 'modules' and 'themes' and put uploaded stuff there...unfortunately most people tend to ignore readme files ;)

thanks to the devs on this awesome theme!!!

have you considered releasing PictoTitle support as it's own module!? people would love it.
