Modification Parse error (installing the recurring Events Mod)

[SchaOn]

Oh well... I guess it's just not that simple...

[Chris Curran]

The test_modification.php from the sdk works with SMF 1.1.2 - I use it very frequently. That 'Test Results' page above is wrong. It would seem there is something interfering with the proper operation of the package manager on these systems. Perhaps the PM has a debug mode that will display progress? Have you folks checked your error logs just in case there's something in there?

Andreas - it appears that the PM did a partial install on your trouble system. I wouldn't trust anything about that system now. I'd start over with a clean install (after nuking all remains of the previous install).

cheers,
me

Nope... no errors in there about the RepeatingEvents Mod

[SchaOn]

I think this might be one of the issues... at least with my server:

in repeatevents_1_2_6.xml

Code Select Expand

<operation>
<search position="before"><![CDATA[
$txt['calendar_linked_events'] = 'Linked Events';
]]></search>


My index.english.php has:

That's just the first thing I saw so far....

[Chris Curran]

I think this might be one of the issues... at least with my server:

I don't understand what you're trying to show me....

[SchaOn]

MOD searches for:

Code Select Expand

$txt['calendar_linked_events'] = 'Linked Events';


Though it doesn't find it, b/c it's labled as:

Code Select Expand

$txt['calendar43'] = 'Link Event';

I think???

[SchaOn]

nm... figured that out...

[Kindred]

Scha0n,
This has nothing to do with the instructions in the mod XML...


Schaon and anroth,

I suggest we start a new thread for you on this issue, since it is not actually realted to the specific mod. (Do a search, people are reporting this for a bunch of different mods)


Chris,
SDK is not actually distributed in the release package of 1.1.2. You must have gotten a snapshot of the Daily CVS?

[anroth]

Have you folks checked your error logs just in case there's something in there?

Andreas - it appears that the PM did a partial install on your trouble system. I wouldn't trust anything about that system now. I'd start over with a clean install (after nuking all remains of the previous install).

I checked the error log, and there's nothing suspicious. The only "error" I got during the installation was a request for my MySQL database login data, because the mod needs to install the moon phase data (which appeared to work fine on both my systems). I just tried to run the mod through the package manager again on my test system, and didn't got the MySQL error, and no entries in the error log, which should confirm that the previous error log entry was only related to the database access. I'll look into it further and report back...

EDIT: @Kindred: Ok, I think you could split the relevant postings from Chris' thread.

Chris,

No, this was a clean install of 1.1.1, with the 1.1.2 upgrade applied via PM. Besides my calender mod, I have no other mods installed.

[Chris Curran]

Kindred,

I checked the tarballs I used to install 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and none have a 'sdk' path in them. I must have put that sdk subdir there. I don't recall doing it, but it's the only answer than makes sense....

cheers,
me
