Articles troubles

[Guest]

Hi all, and happy new year! (Memo to self: store admin while drunk is never a good idea!)

 

However, i kind of achieved what I wanted but lost my articles capability. Let me start at the beginning...

 

I had a clean install and everything was cool. I had articles entered and life was good.

 

I then wanted to change the graphic look of the site and so used the oscommercegraphics black casino theme seen here.That's all fine and everything was cool - and I kept and re-named all the original files - but now the articles manager is nowhere to be seen...

 

If I try and add it to the left column, the page only loads as far as the new code and then reports the error:

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_has_topic_subtopics() in /home/fatmcgav/public_html/ID/includes/boxes/articles.php on line 41

 

If I add to the right column - well, the right column doesn't exist at all...

 

The entire code of the right column looks like...

But nothing appears - there's no error message from the right column but then there's no right column at all. The articles manager in english.php looks like;

 

// Article Manager

define('BOX_HEADING_ARTICLES', 'Articles');

define('BOX_ALL_ARTICLES', 'All Articles');

define('BOX_NEW_ARTICLES', 'New Articles');

define('TEXT_DISPLAY_NUMBER_OF_ARTICLES', 'Displaying <b>%d</b> to <b>%d</b> (of <b>%d</b> articles)');

define('TEXT_DISPLAY_NUMBER_OF_ARTICLES_NEW', 'Displaying <b>%d</b> to <b>%d</b> (of <b>%d</b> new articles)');

define('TABLE_HEADING_AUTHOR', 'Author');

define('TABLE_HEADING_ABSTRACT', 'Abstract');

define('BOX_HEADING_AUTHORS', 'Articles by Author');

define('NAVBAR_TITLE_DEFAULT', 'Articles');

 

and I'm plumb out of ideas. Can anyone help?

You did not add a function. Check your steps. Look for somewhere wher eyou had to edit functions/general.php or something like that.

 

Forget the other errors until you fix that.
