In the installation instructions for Flatforum, it says to post the CSS code into the style sheet for my current theme. And when it says my current theme folder, does it mean my "Drupal Them Folder" or the theme folder which I am currently using, such as "Internet Center?"

Where do I paste the code in the CSS style sheet?
Does Flatforum work with the theme Internet Center?

I'm not really happy with this theme's forums and would like to know if anyone has modified them? How can I make it look better?

Thanks

It means the current theme's folder, if your theme is "Internet Center" and it has a stylesheet called style.css (or whatever), open this file and paste the CSS code.

I'm not familiar with the theme "Internet Center", most of the time Flatforum will work, sometimes the CSS code may need minor tweaking.

Sorry, I don't know CSS very well and I'm not sure on actually WHERE to paste the code WITHIN the CSS style file. I should have been clearer. Thanks for the quick response!

At the end of the file, start a new line and paste the code.

Hey again,

Did everything in that the instructions says to do and nothing happened. Not a single thing.

Copied the Template.php to my "Internet Services" theme folder.
Copied the node-forum.tpl.php to my "Internet Services" theme folder.
Uploaded the Flatforum directory to my "Modules" directory.
Enabled the module in my adminstration panel.

Nothing.

Any ideas?

THANKS!

What I do get is this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _is_forum() in /home/lostand/public_html/themes/internet_center/node-forum.tpl.php on line 2

Hmmm...

Are you sure template.php was successfully uploaded to themes/internet_center/ ?

Did you activate "flatforum" -module as instructed?

As I said before, I did everything the instruntions indicated. Maybe the Flatforum just isn't compatible with my theme.

I checked the theme and found it based on phptemplate so it should work, however, the theme already has a template.php, in this case you need to merge the two files as instructed here:

Maybe this is the reason?

Ok, no-one has answered to this and i guess the problem is solved, but not shared the answer.

1. Open template.php from Flatforum folder.
2. Copy all the code from it.
3. Open template.php from your theme folder.
4. Paste the code to it after the original code in it.

Worked for me.
