Hi, I am having a big problem with my site;
1. Firstly, I have the Shuriken skin installed, I can't get the news block to show up correctly - it works when I change skins but i want to use shuriken, it will show on the homepage but just text no images (header or border) showing cant figure out why.
2 Also when i go into blocks and change shoutbox to active and hit options i get this error message...
A fatal MySQL error was encountered.
Query: SELECT shouts.*, author.penname as penname FROM fanfiction_shoutbox as shouts LEFT JOIN fanfiction_authors as author ON author.uid = shouts.shout_name ORDER BY shout_datestamp DESC
Error: (1054) Unknown column 'shout_datestamp' in 'order clause'
I've tried searching the forums for hours found one similar but it had no solution at the end.
Please can someone help.
3. I am also trying to bridge efiction with SMF have tried 4 times but cant get it, i had them bridged at one stage and wanted to change the log in to redirect to the efiction site but then it wouldnt let me log in as admin on efiction, the 'admin' link disappeared after i was logged in. I then started all over again and used efiction 2 in the hope to follow calash's instructions for it but couldnt download the zip file either said 'permission denied'. - Going insane here - is anyone interested in bridging them for me?? Please please please. Or sending me step by step instructions on how to do it (newbie here).

1. Shuriken is a 2.0 skin and will not work in a 3.0 site. You'll have to edit it to get it to work on your site.
3. How were you redirecting the login? I tried it and couldn't get it to work properly. Fixing it is on my very long to-do list. I'm not going to bridge your site for, but if you have questions about the 3.0 bridge, I'll answer your questions here.
Hi, thanks for replying.
Yep i thought it was a 2.0 skin, but I'm not sure what i need to edit in order to get the news and shoutbox blocks working with this skin, or cant it be done? Do you know of any other skins that are similar to this one that is compatible with efiction 3.0? I have been searching for days and just keep coming across the same ones. I read that someone was going to do a shuriken for efiction 3 back in December but I haven't been able to find the download as yet.
As for the bridge, in the end i have no idea how i got it working hehehe, i followed the instructions that came with the download then read up on all the forums. I logged in on the efiction site and it then took me to the forum home page which drove me insane because i dont want this.
I read this on a previous post and apparently it fixed the problem for them....
"Try only having the log-in on the eFiction site that redirects to the forum. Make the forum one use the same one. I think that you might only be able to use one log-in correctly.
OK, i'll give this a go. Do I just change the link in the php file of SMF?
The log-out- check the url that is listed and compare it to the one you can use fine. Do they match?
I'll check the link sometime this weekend and see how i get on"
but i dont have a 'log-out'.php file in SMF so it stumped me once again.

For skins, there is a skins doc that comes with the 3.0 download. That's how I learned how to update my skins.
Try looking at
/docs/Skin Changes 2.0 to 3.0
/docs/convertingskins
/docs/creating_skins
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

No probs, thanks for the tip. I'll take a look over the next couple of days and see if i can figure it out.
Thanks
