Okay, I have replaced the one I used to install into forum 1 (remember, it is already installed, so when you cick 'install' it will naturally take you to the error page....
Forum1:  http://www.sacredreflections.com/test_n … ll_mod.php

Here is...
Forum2: http://nbhealers.sacredreflections.com/install_mod.php

BTW... I have installed several mods with no problems onto forum2.  It is only when I first do it at forum1 that I then cannot do it at forum2.
Cheers, (and thanks for your time and effort)

PS: Sorry for the delays on my end, we have a meeting coming up tonite, so the 'girls' got me "busy-working" 8^P
Obviously you are being present here now, and so I will try to stay on top of watching this adn communicating back with you in a timely manner, and then let you know when I have to bug out.

No worries.
Heh... why didn't I think of that?!
Anyway, did what you asked...  same results. \^|

Yes, I realize this.  All I was meaning to point out was this...

Original code in the original install_mod.php is:

if (isset($_POST['form_sent']))
{
    // Run the install function (defined above)
    install();

Not the origianl code to be replaced, as you posted it:

if (isset($_POST['form_sent']))
{
    if (isset($_POST['install']))
    {
        // Run the install function (defined above)
        install();

If you read my post carefully you will see I am only meaning to be pointing this out "within the greater context" of where the closing bracket occurs in that particular construction of install_mod.php (for calendar mod) because this line "if (isset($_POST['install']))" is not used there.

Trying to be as clear as possible, sorry if my statements appear ambiguous.  I am certain I am following you, though.  Does this make sense?
Cheers,

Okay Smartys,
Did what you requested.
    Got an error when initially running it for forum2 stating: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /pathwayto/install_mod.php on line 113 code" ...which, of course, is the line number following the very last line of install_mod.php.  I think you meant to include a bracket at the end of your code, no?  Well after 'fixing' that...,
     I ran the mod in forum 2 with the same results as previously described.  It simply re-displays the install mod page, with the following as the last portion of the url in the addressbar: "/install_mod.php?foo=bar"  I look in the database and the tables are created/updated for forum1 (did the first install there), but nothing done to forum2.
   I am using the calendar install_mod.php file. Simple enough.
Look forward to your response(s) {and thanks}.
Cheers,

You should've been able to turn it up.  Check this thread: http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?pid=7769#p7769

Hmmm.... okay, just in case that was one of the ones that actually happened to work, here's another (would you mind looking?)...
...for sure, this one had the same problem as several others (since its the last one I am working on it is fresh in my feeble little peanut-haid...)

Thanks for replying, Steve.
Yes, I put the install_mod.php in the root directory of each forum install.
No, not trying to run from same location, and no, base urls are unique.

Each forum is installed into a separate, i.e. its own, directory, and each forum is running just fine.
One is the 'real' forum, while the other is where I test installations.  If they work and the forum 'proprietor' likes it, I install it for them.

I am thinking, maybe certain install_mod.php coders forget to take into account the possibility of a shared database when they write these, so unique prefixes, or something, are not always allowing for correct functionality in some mods???  I would have to better understand how the install mod code works in order to study and identify that issue. 

Where would I look for instructions on creating a mod and taking into account shared databases using individuated prefixes?  I am thinking maybe I can correct these mods manually in short order when I run into this (?).  (I don't freaking have a clue really.)
Cheers,

If what Michael is suggesting actually works, i.e. adding some custom fields... I mean if its that easy to thwart spam-bots then why isn't that standard?
  Standard meaning, building into the forum registration the ability for the forum host to create, say, 3 custom fields that can be configured with anything they want, or whatever.
   Or do spam-bots have some sort of built in learning that renders this inviable?
Cheers,

I found this topic while searching something else.
Now, because I really do not understand what a userbar is, what it is capablel of, how to use or install one...
I searched both forums (bb+res) but this is about it, so if you see this could you please enlighten me some?
Thanks,

Okay, I just installed this so I could see just what the heck it is and does, because I could not find a decent explanation (when you guys make these things could you describe them just a little more please?!)
So I am writing this so maybe this will help someone else who doesn't want to have to guess as I have.

   What this does is it adds a section to Options:Administration where the admin can type a message into a form having fields for 1) Topic and 2) Message.
   After submission, a topic-post with an entitlement "Announcement: your subject" will appear at the very top of each and every forum (thus 'global') on your board... except you will not see this announcement on the front page!  It only appears in forums you enter.
   If you submit more than one Announcement, they list by date-order, but always at the top of the list of topics in all the forums.
   Global Announcements otherwise behave just like any other topic that users may post in (thus discussing the announcement.
   There is no administrative management for the announcements in the Options:Admin section... you can only post them from there.  The admin may delete or edit the global announcement from any point of entry through a forum (i.e., go into the announcement topic and edit/delete from there).

   I find this to be a very intersting plugin.  I installed it with no problem into 1.2.12 after editing the install_mod.php for the version number, and then running through the readme's carefully before beginning.  Installation was straightforward, and the resutls are solid... I observe no interference with other mods I have or anything like that.
   Although I think this mod could use some improvement, its an interesting idea, and I am sure anyone with a little php knowledge could make it do some other things.
   I hope I have described this little mod appropriately enough to give a better basic understanding about it.  See, when you got a boob, I mean a noob ...like me around, you might apreciate what might not be readily apparent to others who aren't so familiar with all this forum-tech! '8^O

Thank you Caleb.  I hope you are not insulted by the intention of this post (stated in the beginning).  I felt this was needed, and I hope others may benefit.

Cheers,
