Hi Ryan,

I use HTML5 BP with every EE site I build since learning about HTML5 BP just over a year ago but I code my own custom templates, snippets, etc. So no I don’t actually use the html5BoilerPlatEE theme. I just wanted to help you guys out.

Yes you can just apply a patch to the DB’s ‘exp_upload_prefs’ table in MySQL rather than doing a fresh install.

I honestly have no idea if these are going to continue to pop up. I know it would sure irritate the heck outta me if I was using the theme and they kept popping up 😊.

Do you need any assistance with what to do to patch the table or are you gonna sort it out on your own? Let me know if you need any further assistance I would be happy to help.

Thanks again Owan.  I’m good making the necessary patch to MySQL.  I know you haven’t used this theme.  Do you have a general opinion on whether I should just code my own BP theme with EE?  I’ve used BP a lot, but I am new to EE.  Might be easier that way…

Cheers,
Ryan

Well for me personally I prefer to code my own BP theme/templates/snippets etc. I’ve used BP alot so far now as well and I have a particular structure and workflow that I have become comfortable with and works well for me. I guess it’s up to you to choose the best method that works for you and unfortunately as we are discovering with the html5BoilerPlatEE theme has some annoying bugs.

All the best tho with what you decide to do.

Sorry for the lack of replies guys, I’m away on holiday at the moment.

Thanks to everyone that has helped here and I think Owan is right, things have changed in the DB on the newest versions of EE and that hasn’t been reflected in the theme files. Looking at the database file I think Owans fix should work but I won’t be able to test it fully until I return next week.

I’ve added Owans fix to the download ZIP so hopefully that will help others until I can try a fresh install on the latest EE and check for any issues.

Again, sorry for the wait but as soon as I’m back in front of my main machine I’ll test and post an update here and on the theme website.

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Hey pledbrook,

Cool man! We will be on the lookout for your update.

Have a great weekend!!

Cheers,

I’ve tested the theme, with the changes outlined by Owan, in EE 2.5.2 and all seems good. I didn’t get any errors and the basic theme worked fine. I’ve also updated the theme to the latest version of H5BP so it has the latest changes to the core boilerplate files. Grab yourself a new version from the website if you need one…http://www.kc-webdesign.co.uk/html5boilerplatEE.html

Any more issues just let me know and if you use it and like it and want to help then please donate a few beer tokens via Paypal!

Cheers

Hey Paul,

Thanks for the update. I’ll be sure to grab it and help test it for you, as well as report any issues I find. Take care and all the best!

Hi Ryan, Pledbrook, Owan &co;.
thanks for all your help so far with this and sorry its taken me a while to get back to you guys.
I’ve installed the 2.5.2 updated version of the boilerplate, and it all seems to working fine so far - with only one thing that I haven’t worked out yet - can’t seem to get rid of index.php from my URL. I’ve tried both .htaccess files that come with the package, but no dice.
Any tips on where I might be going wrong?

OK, so I think I’ve solved this by changing the .htaccess rewrite to:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # Removes index.php
    RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond $1 !^(css|images|img|system|themes|js|favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|humans\.txt|admin\.php|cgi-bin|index\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] 
</IfModule>

- seems to work now.
