When I activate the theme and enter the site, it gives an http 500 error. What is the reason?

Hi Screwy,

Go into Admin CP > Templates & Style > Templates > (select theme) > Navigation Templates > nav

Find this code:

PHP Code:

<if $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] != '/' then>
<div class="navigation">
{$nav}{$activesep}{$activebit}
</div>
</if> 


And replace with this:

Code:

<div class="navigation">
{$nav}{$activesep}{$activebit}
</div>

It's an error I made in the previous version but I haven't been able to release a patch for it yet.

Do you need a plugin or a higher PHP version to use PHP syntax and variables in MyBB themes?

You can do it without a plugin but it was an erroneous copy and paste from another project I was working on.

You can also use Template Conditionals as well.

Hmm interesting. I couldn't use themes that used these features on my forum, I had to delete these tags or else the forum would break.

It’s definitely not ideal to use conditionals but if it’s for your own site it can be great for customization.
