I have your Portal 2.1.7 installed on a 2.0.3 isntallation of IPB. I was having problems with this error
CODE
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class skin_topic in /home/thehanga/public_html/forums/sources/functions.php(601) : eval()'d code on line 1
I tried everything, and finally had figured out that as long as I didn't enter a number larger than 4 for the news system to grab from the forum I had selected for news it worked fine. But then if I picked a different forum for it to grab news from then I could have it grab more posts. This struck me as odd. I finally got it figured out that it is only posts with attachments that cause the above error to appear. I can have it grab 20 posts from a forum. and as long as there are no attachments in any of them it displays fine. As soon as I introduce an attachment into any of those 20 then the above error appears.
For now I am just disabling attachments for that forum, but I am really confused as to why this is happening. The attachments work fine on the rest of the board, they display properly and everything.
I'd really appreciate any insight you might be able to provide! Thanks a lot in advance!!
