hmm ... seems you already had run the installer, and tried again? (perhaps had some error while trying the first time?)

if so, you can check what rows that has been added with a tool like phpMyAdmin or similar, and remove those (for a complete listing of rows that's added to the config table, check the documentation chapter 2.2), and delete the files in the cache folder on the forum (so that new ones will be generated)

for the next version I might do so that old values are overwritten, but I'm not 100% sure I will (as sometimes people leave install_mod.php in the folder)



but remember to make backups! wink

looks like you have messed up alittle in defining where the attachments are stored

In the plugin, Click "Alter settings"

Then at "Attachments basefolder" you need to enter the path to where the basefolder is, not the http adress  (as an example, on unix you could have something like "/web/www/loginname/forum/attachments/" , and that's for an unix system, for a windows system you will have some letter on the drive aswell)

To figure out what the path is to your forum folder, go to the Admin interface (PunBB's) and click "Show info" next to the PHP version, then search the page that pops up for the following variable: "_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]"   ... that one will tell you what the complete path is to the forum, just remove the "admin_index.php" part and add your path to the attachments.

Hopefully it'll solve the problems

thnx, but I probably need a dump of the database to be able to do a proper one ... I looked in the mod, but I've got too much to do before christmas to be able to fix it without a database dump ...

if someone wants to do the converter, just msg me and I'll help if you're getting stuck with my code (think the documentation covers most of my mod)

patience is a virtue ... you know wink

I downloaded the mod, but considering I'm not using phpbb, that mod looked quite ... timewasting to figure out without installing phpbb first, so could you perhaps send some info on what is stored in the database, and how the files are stored (on the disk, or in the database)?
(My email adress is in the image in my signature)

Hopefully all I need to do is a couple of simple modification to my attachment mod 1.0 to 2.0 updater.

I haven't got one at the moment, but I'll look into it during the weekend. A database dump would be useful though ...

For people keeping FAQ things etc. And if you look at the first post in the Attachment mod thread, you'll notice I edited it not so long ago, even though it was posted ages ago ...

shouldn't it be

np, I sometimes need to re-read the options a few times to find what I'm looking for big_smile

The option is found under

Admin-Options-Features

And it's called "User has posted earlier" make sure it's set to Yes

sounds like you've missed uploading hte plugin ... you need to set upload permissions in the plugin

follow the installation guide linked in the first post of this thread, and you'll see how to test and setup the mod.

For 1.3 I'll probably put more effort into the admin plugin before release (for easier rulesetting), I was planning to update it after a while, but ... it kind of never happened due to lack of time tongue

+ there's some more small things I'm going to change, but feels quite useless to make those changes now before 1.3 is out ... as the plugin needs to be rewritten a bit to suit the hooks in the code (but that's probably much better for everyone wanting to use it ... the 50-step readme will hopefully be really short ... smile

looks like your mysql server isn't feeling healthy ... (MYI is mysql files, IIRC)

I guess repairing tables could solve it ... or make sure /tmp hasn't run out of free space (and enough free to make temprorary files)

You need to write php code into the existing phpscripts and probably you want some new files aswell ... so the first step would be to learn php and database structure and communication, and not to hurt your selfesteem, but it really takes a while to do good php & database code ... myself I still do some stupid things, and sometimes struggle to figure out what's not working right etc., and then I consider myself to have a fairly good knowledge about programming in general ...

But, as php is free, you just need a texteditor and setup a testpage and learn php ... there's lots of tutorials online, and the php manual is a really good manual, well worth learning to use aswell.

never ... unless a security issue is discovered (the 1.2.6 installation guide should work fine for 1.2.10 ...)

thanks.

Not without adding a bunch of code ... I thought about it a bit, and never figured out a good way to fix it ...

depends on how you are planning on doing the upgrade ... if you're using the hdiffs, you don't have to do anything (as 1.2.7 -> 1.2.10 are just small updates) ... just that some of the linenumbers might differ

but ... backups are always nice to do wink

hmm ... are the hooks in place in the beta, or are they still to arrive?
