Any idea why I would be getting this error after installing the mod from what I can tell correctly. Maybe I did something stupid like add a weird period somewhere however:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home2/clanpla/public_html/forum/includes/sessions.php on line 388

I'm sweatin a bit.

How long to install this one guys?

It's not huge, it'll take about 20 minutes to a half hour.

There are two edits to sessions.php and neither of them around around line 388. Could be that you had a slight hickup on upload of the file and it may be corrupted. Use a backup or one from the download package, try modding it again and reupload.

[DDay629]

OK, I got the forum to work with a new upload of the files. But now I'm having some problems with other things. Moderators are not able to edit the first topic in posts or to edit posts made before the upgrade. I am also having problems with making news posts into Announcements for the Portal will not stay hold when I hit submit. When I go back in to edit it again, it still won't hold.

DDay

I'll add on more as I find them.

[Skywalker]

i have the same problem when i post a topic as news it gets posted as normal message and not as news, please provide a fix for this its a nasty bug

[DDay629]

Oh, I found another problem. I can't change the length of announcement time.

i read the install instructions on this one, and if i read it right, anyone with an admin or mod status can read the pw protected forums/topic without the pw. is this right?

[DDay629]

Umm, no, junior admins can get in without the password if you set up your code that way. I chose to.

DDay

Also, any info on ways I can get it so people can edit posts made before the update, and a way for mod's to edit topic starters?

[ayasha]

is there a way to set it so only the people knowing the pw for that forum is the only way to see that forum?

[Skywalker]

the only way to do that is to make a group for users who know the password and set that forum to private(hidden) nad set that only that group can see/acces that forum

[ayasha]

thanks, i am not having luck with usergroups, cannot get the auto ones to auto join people.

so i have this forum that is private hidden, but all the admins can see it, and if i want myself to be the only one to see it, i have to create a usergroup, be the only member of that group, and then set permissions where to be able to be the only one to view that group.

and once i do all that, you are sure that on one but me will be able to see that forum?

a admin will always see al the forums and have acces to it

[ayasha]

thanks for all the answers guys <img>

Ok, I found another problem. People can't vote in polls. This is getting ridiculous.

i geuss it has to be rewritten, i have send teelk a pm to solve the news bug but no respons yet,

[DDay629]

Do you think this could have to do with me uploading completely new files with the changed code? I mean, could there be permissions problems with them?

DDay

[Skywalker]

no, this mod changed some functions i geuss... it think the topic_type hass to be added somewhere and some vote data also, i dunno i have checked this mod more then one time and i don't find anything that could be responsable for that loss of data. permissions could not have enything to da with that, then those problems had already been there before adding the mod

[DDay629]

OK, that kinda sucks, cause I could easily fix that. But yeah, the forum worked perfectly before the update. Well, except for the occasional CT problem or email server error.

DDay

[Teelk]

I have an idea of what the problems might be. Restore your files to their originals(hopefully you have backups) and I'll have a look at these issues.

[DDay629]

Won't the database not like the un-modified files?

DDay

Also, can I just upload fresh files from the install package for these files as I deleted my backup after the 'successful' install.

I know. I'm an idiot.

[Teelk]

If this is the only modification you've made to those files then you can use fresh ones. The db additions made by this MOD should be ignored, as no php will call to them. Backup your "broken" files as well, so that, if for some reason you do get an error, you can reupload the "broken" ones. Having some features not work is probably better then error messages everywhere.

i will keep my files how they are now, ive added other mods after, i will add the fix when ready, the fix will be some code change from the orignal so overwrite the exesting code with the new one should do te trick, when do you think you gonna have the fix ready?

[nGAGE]

Are the problems on this mod fixed?

[DDay629]

I don't honestly know. I never attempted to reinstall, and the forum I was working on was deleted for a new install of vBulletin, thereby destroying over 20 hours of work. I was rather peeved.

DDay

[nGAGE]

Damn... hate it when that happens <img>
Know the feeling! Happened to me a couple of times :S
