Wierd Template Error that only occurs when not logged in

[just_some_guy]

Hey,

I was customizing the ipodlounge theme today; which involved making the navigation vertical and aligned to the left, i used the code from DaMysterious final fantasy theme to achieve this. All was going well until i logged out of my gallery and received this error - i have a hunch it is to do with the Modpack by Stramm. The error is -

Thanks for your help!

Presumably you removed the 'my_friends' block from $template_sys_menu, so you should put it back in.

[just_some_guy]

Thanks, problem was i had never added it in the first place. You can mark this as solved.

[Joachim Müller]

i have a hunch it is to do with the Modpack by Stramm.

That's correct - refer to the sticky thread "How/What to change to a theme to be 100% operational?" on the board "cpg1.4 modpack by Stramm". From that thread:

to make custom themes work together with the modpack following modifications have to be done:

[...]

4. If your theme's using a modified menu then read on further
There's a new link added to coppermines menu ( 'My friends' - for the buddy list). Cause there are several ways how one can modify the menu I just can give the direction on what to do.

Open the theme.php of the theme you want to modify and find the var $template_sys_menu_button. If the theme is using the new layout of the sys menu (you can see that if there are already lines existing like the codeline below) then just add the code below where you want it to appeare (maybe after the home link)

Code Select Expand

addbutton($s000000000ys_menu_buttons,'{MY_BUDDY_LNK}','','{MY_BUDDY_TGT}','my_friends',$template_sys_menu_spacer);


If the theme's using the old style then add something similar to the following and adapt the html to fit your layout

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN my_friends -->
                                                <li class="sidebar_menu"><a href="{MY_BUDDY_TGT}" title="{MY_BUDDY_LNK}" class="navmenu">{MY_BUDDY_LNK}</a></li>
<!-- END my_friends -->


Searching for the error message you got would have told you so as well. In the future, please search before posting.
