fresh install

[eclectica]

I am running vBulletin 3.01 and I decided to do a fresh install of vBadvanced CMPS 1.0.0 rather than do an upgrade of vBadvanced 1.1. I couldn't even get the installation script working or login to the admincp after uploading the altered php files. It gave me an error stating that it could not find the table adv_pages. The way I worked around the problem was to restore the original unaltered version of global.php back and then I ran the installation script vbacmps_install.php. After running the installation script I was then able to upload the altered global.php file.

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying the problem is here... There's no reason the install script would give an error like that...

Actually it wasn't the installation script that gave me that error but the entire forum became disabled until I put the old global.php file back. Maybe when I edited the php files I did something wrong. Like when you said to insert something above a field in the instructions I would paste it right before the field without even using a space. I don't know if that's what you had in mind when you say "above that add" in the instructions.

That shouldn't be a problem... Are you by chance editing the files with Dreamweaver or another similar program? If so, be sure to edit them with Notepad or something similar as Dreamweaver has been known to cause problems by changing code that it shouldn't.

I use Notepad from Windows.

Anyways thanks for making a great portal hack. I've also used in the past mYvBindex 3.22, vBadvanced 1.1, and am using the "deleted threads" hack as well. Thanks for your time in creating these things and for your help here as well.

Not to be nosey or whatever but I've been told that Notepad can do something to the php code it breaks lines or something. Dunno just a thought. ;)

What Notepad does is it adds line breaks if you have word wrap enabled in the viewing preferences. Sometimes I compose posts for forums in notepad first and then when I copy to the forum it creates problems unless I first disable the word wrap.
