Search options (Page 1 of 2)

What I mean by code - is that it is for affliate programs to link products (or tracks in this case).

I had it working before on my old 1.2 version - but someone helped me ad the code recognition option.

here is another link http://www.evolved.fm/forum/viewtopic.php?id=118

Basically this code is for a list of music tracks that would link to a purchase site.

I just wanted to use this as an example because I will be using affiliate links like this.

I got it working - I  created a new data base name and used the back up - it worked.

http://www.evolved.fm/forum - turned out my File zilla FTP program wasn't correctly uploading files in directories when I was re uploading my forum file in effort to fix the original one.

Thanks for your help. Now I have to change the colors back some how.

Yeah im not asking for database help  - it is just that the fix I tried to implement regarding the changing of URL in the database has resulted in this issue.

Please tell me if I reinstall the forum 1.2 over the old forum using the same database name - would that delete the existing database?

Now If i try to click on ANYTHING or log in - i get UNABLE TO FETCH USER INFO/POST INFO that is what is happening.

The original issue has now escalated to this after trying to fix it with the instructions given. I need help.

If i Re install the forum using the same database name will it erase the database?

I checked the data base - everything is in there - but my forum is jacked right now. If I try to click on ANYTHING I get Unable to fetch (whatever it is I clicked on) - I did check again to make sure all the data is there. I also did another db backup - using "export" in phpadmin.. I need more help with how I should go about using that backed up data base with 1.3 upgrade.

Now I seemed to have broken something else.

I am really needing help with this. I went through a second attempt to get these instructions gone through so I can fix the o_based_url but now after doing that look what my forum looks like.

http://www.evolved.fm/forums/

I need help getting this fixed right now! Can anyone help me?

(EDIT) - I uploaded a back up and fixed this but - still I cannot edit the base url without that error I originally posted.

I deleted it and I am trying to install it. I don't think I had the install files in the correct folder I want the forum to load in. I have everything in http://www.evolved.fm/forums - but when I run http://www.evolved.fm/forums/install.php it says there is already a config.php - i dont see a config.php file in that dir or the admin dir either.

Upon pulling up php admin I clicked on  my dbase name on the left side (is this also the prefix by the way?).

Then I see a list on the left and one on the right. The one of the right has check boxes for each item. I Clicked on config (browse) icon. That gave me a list if all the items one of them was o_based_url and I click the edit pencil icon next to it.

Then I see config_name and config value in the Field Column. o_based_url is in the name field. http://www.evolved.fm/forums is in the config_value value field so I http://www.xtcradiofm.com/forums, delete the cache files - then open the administration section of the forums and see the Base URL field blank. I ad in http://www.xtcradiofm.com/forums and click save changes and get the same error still.

But here is the deal.

Right now the forums are coming up with the URL http://www.xtcradiofm.com/forums (xtcradiofm.com is a parked domain.

I need the forum to come up under http://www.evolved.fm/forums. So should I change the config_value to http://www.evolved.fm/forums instead? This is what it was before but still wasn't working.

I am pretty sure every function in the forums was working fine until I had made a change to something in the Dbase after installing wordpress for my main site.

Or would it be better just to reinstall punbb and import a backed up database (of course I freak out on doing this even though I know how to back up the forums dbase file.

So I guess am I making these change in the right places and doing everything in the right order? I am very thankful for the instructional replies - would be happy to exchange a chat IM name of yahoo,msn or something to get help on figuring this out.

I did the catch edit and it didnt hold.

I dont know "how" to edit the base url in the config table -wherever that is.. none of the instructions tell you where that is. Is it in my sql data base? I have access to it.. I need to know how to navigate to this and ill change it.

Could someone give me some step by step instructions?

The Answer is: A. and putting a side the.ru or .anything - the bottom line is spammers are registering by 5 an hour if I allow registration on my forum. It has been set to not allow registration for weeks now.  I can't let anyone  join it. I am NOT php inclined. I want a captcha. I need something to prevent them. I will provide any information you want here in this thread if you can help.

Thanks

Thanks now in exchange for my report - you can tell me how to ban them right?

Thank you right now I am getting shielded by akismet very well - But i am getting all these bogus registrants driving me crazy like Palins voice.
