Tiny change to template, now site won't load

I am using xoops 2.5 and Businex theme. I had made no changes to the theme or template, I installed a few modules like newbb and news, and everything works fine.

Then I went to Templates in the admin panel and edited the theme.html to simply change the header title and slogan that was displayed on the site.

I saved it and the site did not show the changes.

Then I went to my settings and turned on "check templates for changes".

Now when I go to my homepage the page won't load and it says:

A problem has occurred on our server!
Page is currently unavailable

We are treating the incident
Please, coming soon ...

Error : Smarty error: [in db:news_block_top.html line 915]: syntax error: unidentified token '#039;counter'' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1410)


How should I go about fixing this?

Ok, I put "Recent News" in the right column and now it shows links to recent news. But, I also want to show the actual news articles on the front page (like, let's say the latest 3 news items) not just the links to them but the actual news story with the content, in the center column. But I don't see any block that does that?

Oh... I sort of see what you mean. I was confused because I wanted to add blocks which were not currently being displayed so I clicked "Add Block", which.. is not how you add blocks that way...

I see how it works now I guess.

I am using xoops 2.5.0, and I'm trying to add a News block to the front page of my site.

I installed the News module.

Now I go to the admins panel, Blocks, and click Add Block. All that lets me do is add a custom html block, I can't see at all how to add a News block.

I solved my problem. The thing is, I read the long installation instructions, and also looked for any other documentation or forum help about how to change your theme in xoops but there's nothing about it anywhere I can see...

So I go to my administration panel, look for where to change Themes, and the closest I can find is Templates. So I click on that and see a list of themes and a choice to "Select theme". And pick the theme I want.

But this is not where you pick themes. Coming from Wordpress or Joomla this is confusing imo.

The place to change themes in Preferences, General Settings. It is like this in phpbb as well, so it does make some sense.

The main problem is that when you go tohttps://xoops.org/modules/extgallery/ it doesn't say word one about how to actually use or set the themes. Also, doing a search on xoops.org doesn't come up with that information either.

Templates not changing?

(I searched these forums for "change template" and found nothing about how to change templates.)

I have a new install of Xoops, and I want to change my theme/template. So I downloaded zips of themes, unzipped them and uploaded them.

Then I go to the admin panel and Templates Manager to pick another theme. I tried picking another theme from the list, No to forced file generation, and All modules. I submit, but this does not change the theme of my website.

I tried again with another theme, this time I chose Yes to forced file generation. Still no change to my theme.

How do I change themes?
