Reason For Editing Mod

[Kindred]

You are completely correct....   the mod does list that it runs on 2.0.3 but it apparently has not been correctly updated to run automatically on 2.0.3.

Use the emulate command, as Arantor has indicated and emulate SMF 2.0, it will install then. No need to edi any XML files.

[Arantor]

Um, Kindred... he said he'd modified the XML file to include 2.0.3... if that's true, the only reason it won't work is if the package manager is already set to emulate something else.

[Kindred]

Well, I checked on the mod download page using the "show manual install for..."
and it fails for 2.0.3, 2.0.2, and 2.0.1 but works for 2.0

So, maybe he incorrectly edited the XML...   either way, it wasn't necesarry to edit the XML in the first place (which is what I was trying to say).

I know I can do that but when you emulate to fix one mod it might cause issues for another you need / want to install in regards to not showing uninstall/install links. So I'd prefer them all to work the same in that regard.

As for editing the XML file, I tried a few different ways but adding to what was already there.

ex. 2.0 - 2.0.99

or

ex. 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.3 etc etc etc

Both ways, as already evidenced in the XML for 1.0 etc should have worked but did not. I rmember doing edits like this some time in the ago in other mods that worked just fine.

Edit; Until today I never touched the emulator so it reference the sites current 2.0.3 version.

[Kindred]

MoreBloodWine,

you emulate the version to install a mod and then reset it back to your actual version...   when you need to uninstall, you emulate again to get the uninstall link.

I installed over 200 mods using this method, with no difficulties at all.

Hello Nibogo,

I have added german language support to your mod. If you like you can add this to your smf-2.x.xml

Any updates for this planned. Looking for 2.0.4. It did install and test OK, however there are errors reported when edits are done.

[Kindred]

What errors? If you are reporting issues, you need to include specific details

[Torx]

Here is the info from the error log. After a few coffees this morning and playing through ftp, looks like I may have been wrong last night in thinking that this was related to this mod. It appears whenever I access the admin section. I will post in a new thread on help on this one. Thank you for the prompt reply Kindred

that would be related to one of your menus and the SimplePortal mod, and, as you suspected on review, has nothing at all to do with this mod.

(it may have to do with something called within a portal block)

[Antros22]

the mod is not work   on  smf 2.0.6 (new install) not update

Code Select Expand

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

[Arantor]

How can I install a mod that doesn't work in my SMF version?

(The version you will want to use is 2.0.3)

[TeoTwawki]

I had no trouble installing this mod (ver 2.3.2) by emulating smf 2.0.3 (I'm actually on smf 2.0., but recently I had to move my forum to a new host. I fixed the broken paths and imported my backed up database and everything looked fine. until I went to post and got an database error saying "Field 'edit_reason' doesn't have a default value" that is. This is on a new post, not an edit.

I set my emulated version to 2.0.3 again, uninstalled the mod, and I am stillgetting that error!

My entire forum is broken, no new posts can be made. And this is an error that was fixed quite some time ago in an older version - I don't understand why it even started happening to my forum, let alone how it can still be there after removing the mod completely.

For the last hour and a half I've been searching my way through the files installation changes, and not seeing anything related to this mod that got left behind by the uninstall. 

[TeoTwawki]

Solved it: uninstall didn't remove the database changes the mod made.

[Nibogo]

I'm glad you were able to resolve it

Strange... Installed the mod with no errors, the box shows up when editing but after filling it and re-posting it doesn't show up in the topic view as if it wasn't installed O.o error log clear, no custom edits except for the xml file edited to install properly.

[BonoVox]

Hi. I got a kinda problem here, I can't see the reason of editing after posting the reason in the box, I mean, I wrote the reason in the box and when I send the post, it doesn't appear the reason that I wrote, just my nickname and that X post has been edited by me, but it doesn't show the reason that I wrote.

I didn't get any error during the installation.

My forum is http://foro.outbreakzrp.es/ [nofollow], I am using the Reseller theme and it's using the 2.0.9. Please, help.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

As you can see the last post before yours was mine, and I had the same problem, however the mod author is unfortunately well known for not supporting his mods anymore. I couldn't figure out a fix so I just dropped this mod. Doesn't really matter which theme you are using, it gives me the same problem on the freaking default theme.
Sorry for being blunt, I am seriously depressed for SimplePortal not working properly either.

[BonoVox]

Huh, that's bad. Is there another mod like this? Thanks for reply.
Maybe there was a situation like this before in previous comments, I haven't checked yet because there are like 26 pages.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Not that I know. I chose this one: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2104 but does something way different. And has a stupid bug that allows people to bypass it in PMs... I'm investigating on that.
