Warning: Do not use SnowFlat theme with q2a version below 1.7

Question

Just wanted to test the new SnowFlat theme that comes with v1.7.

Uploaded only the theme folder to one of my q2a v1.6.3 installations.

Then I switched the theme under admin>general to "SnowFlat"

Afterwards: White screen. Nothing possible anymore.

Error log says:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method qa_layer_17_from_userslist_locations_layer_php::qa_layer_17_from_userslist_locations_layer_php() inqa-include/qa-base.php(510) : eval()'d code on line 37

Obviously the theme uses core functions of qa-base.php that are only available in q2a v1.7.

Fix to the problem:

Open phpmyadmin, navigate to your database, click on qa_options, find field "site_theme", enter your former Theme (this should be the name of the theme folder, e.g. "Snow" or "q2apro-diligent" in my case).

Hope that helps.

Comments

Users can also delete SnowFlat Theme folder... that way the theme selection will be rolled back to old Snow Theme.
