My b2evolution Version: 1.9.x

Hi,

I am new to this forum and i'm excited to use the software. I have been trying to use my own design with the b2e software based on the instructions (http://manual.b2evolution.net/Create_a_new_skin) but i keep getting errors on the pasted code. I am new to php but managed to debug it to the point where the page almost gets displayed but now i am stuck.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I get these errors -
Notice: Use of undefined constant Ý - assumed 'Ý' in /home/yoskippy/public_html/skins/yoskippy/_main.php on line 24

Notice: Use of undefined constant Ý - assumed 'Ý' in /home/yoskippy/public_html/skins/yoskippy/_main.php on line 30

Notice: Use of undefined constant Ý - assumed 'Ý' in /home/yoskippy/public_html/skins/yoskippy/_main.php on line 38

and this is the code -
<?php $Plugins->trigger_event( 'SkinBeginHtmlHead' ); ?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo $io_charset; ?>" />
<title><?php
$Blog->disp('name', 'htmlhead');
request_title( ' - ', '', ' - ', 'htmlhead' );
 ?></title>
<?php skin_base_tag(); /* Base URL for this skin. You need this to fix relative links! */ ?>
<meta name="description" content="<?php $Blog->disp( 'shortdesc', 'htmlattr' ); ?>" />

i tried to talk to the support people from my host and they recommended I have a backwards migration from PHP 5 to PHP 4 so the customization works.

I'm seeing an undefined ! on line 5. Perhaps the host is right re going to php4? I personally know nothing about the different versions of php and mysql. To me it's like the weather: it can affect you but you can't affect it. I'm probably wrong regarding server software though.

well my host made the transition to php 4, as recommended and now I get a whole new bunch of errors. i love the b2e and i want to use my design but i have no idea what else to do. i've been cramming on this for a week now.

do you have any idea how I can fix it? should i change servers? I copied the code directly from the "create a skin" page (http://manual.b2evolution.net/Create_a_new_skin).

take a look.

1) Does the custum skin (or any other skin for that matter) work properly on your setup?
2) Get rid of every <br/> int the <head> section of _main.php

Please check this first and report back to this forum.

Good luck

apparently after switching back to php 4, things cleared up a bit.

the problem became extra characters which caused the "undefined constant"

apparently dreamweaver MX is (pardon my french) caca. there are all these extra characters put in even when saved as ascii or as php.

now i am looking for a new web editor. i don't want to go through this again.

thanks again. i can't wait to get started!
whoo hooo!

There is one more error (<br/>)
With Dreamweaver you are getting nowhere in B2e. Try a decent php editor. You've got to go through some basic HTML and CSS, but when you get the hang of it, it appears easy.

Have fun

thanks for that.

i'm good with html and I can go through php code. dreamweaver is crap. time to move on. I'm on a mac and I'm using pagespinner right now. i looks pretty good. no freaky characters, code editing with live viewing. i'm ready to rock n roll.

cheers
