Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Thesis template does not seem to be working for me?

[templateuser]

Hi,

I downloaded the Doctoral/Master thesis templet.

When I tried to render a pdf using TexShop I get the error message below. I have not edited the thesis.cls file in anyway (nor any other file in the templet). Is any one able to explain this? Would be much appreciated!

Code: Select all

./Thesis.cls:42: Use of \@ doesn't match its definition.
\@checkoptions#1#2 -> \edef  \@curroptions{\@p
									tionlist{\@currname.
\@currext}} ....
l.42 \@checkoptions{11pt}{{10pt}{11pt}{12pt}}
 
?

I also get this warning

Code: Select all

You have requested package ' ',
but the  package provides 'Thesis'

Hi,

You're trying to compile thesis.cls rather than main.tex.

Hi Vel,
Sorry, I m very new to LaTex and trying to use this thesis template for my PhD as well. I have the same error as Gustav, I don't follow the correction that needed to be done and still get the same error when I try to put in my details to the thesis.cls file.
Thanks for your help!

I m using LaTex on Mac Os X, I m just not sure how to save the thesis.cls to thesis.tex since that's not an option in the file menu

Hi,

The main document you should be compiling is main.tex rather than thesis.cls. You need to change your details in thesis.cls but after that you save it and close it and compile main.tex only. Hope that makes sense!

Hello Vel , thanks for the wonderful support. am also using a Mac OS X
The main.tex run's fine after editing however when i edit the Chapter and the
but i have a problem when running the Chapters.tex i get an errors. below is part of the error i receive from the console.

Code: Select all

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

You're in trouble here. Try typing <return> to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.

please assist me i have been looking thorough the forum for some solution but i cant find it. i believe it has to do with fonts or some missing packages?

Hi,

You don't compile the individual chapters separately. You only compile main.tex and nothing else, main.tex includes all of the chapters automatically so it's all you have to work with. When you're working on the different chapters, make your changes and save the chapter files then compile main.tex to see the changes.
