Location Mod

[Ravey76]

Hello Everybody,

I am gald this fine mod has been finally released. I used "MemberMap" in my "YaBB Gold"-forum.
Now I want to install it to my SMF 1.0 RC2 - but I don't know how ...?

Sorry - never installed a mod to SMF before (*ooops*)   
so what is the best way to install this mod? Manually or automatically (I guess this is the meaning of "PacMan").
If I upload the (zipped?? un-zipped??) mod-file to this pac-folder - how do I install the mod?
I already unzipped the mod-file but unfortunately there's no help-file ...

Questions ... questions ...   

Can someone give me a short "quick-install-guide"?

Every help appreciated

Thanks a lot,
Ravey76

Check out install.txt in that zip file. That will tell you everything you need to know.

Hey Ravey76,
Here is a step-by-step guide.

1. Goto your admin panel.
2. Click the Package Manager link.
3. Click the Download New Packages link.
4. Goto the Upload a Package section, click browse and find the mod file (zipped) on your hard drive.
5. Click Apply Mod.
6. Check what the mod will be changing and update any permissions that may be required.
7. Click Proceed.
8. Mod installed.



Egg,
To change the default map you would edit the MemberMap.php file in the Sources directory. Right now it is set to 12. Goto line 41 and change that value to 11. In the next release that will be a setting you can change from the admin panel.

@ Oldiesman:

Thanks for the hint. Yes there IS such a file, but no install-instructions inside (just information about features & future plans) ...

@ Gobalopper:

Thanks a lot for the install.instructions   

Unfortunately I have some problems with the installation.
I followed all steps you mentioned above; upload succeeds, but then I got a blank page with an error message ("Internal server Error") and installation aborts ...

If I upload that zipped file manually, I even cannot open the packet manager site; as soon as I click on that link in admin panel, I will receive that same error message ...

Access-permissions (package-folder) are all set  to 777 ...

What can I do?

Thanks a lot,
Ravey76

Can you find out what the *upload_max_filesize* setting is in PHP for me?

[Ravey76]

Sure - here it is:

upload_max_filesize   2M   2M

Your mod is 2,36 mb big. Could this cause the problem?

But if I upload the zip-file manually to the package folder, it doesn't work, too ...

Greetings,
Ravey76

[oschikhof]

I am really glad that it's finally available 
BUT I have a small problem with the installation, in the package manager, I see the package but when I click on apply mod, then I get a modification parse error in step 5.
I have chmod all files and dirs to 777 but it doesn't help.

What I am doing wrong? Sorry for this stupid question....but who can help me out!

[Gobalopper]

Hmm do you have other mods installed? What file is it giving a parse error on? Or do you mean the error comes up before you even get a listing of the files included in the mod?

[oschikhof]

No other mods installed...
I am just using the package manager in RC2...
When I click on mods, there's only the new location mod that I can install.
So I click apply mod, then there are some steps shown.
1 to 6.....and 5 gives an error...modification parse error..
the package manager doesn't tell me which file has a parse error... 

When I use the file listing all seems to be ok..(gives a long list with files and their sizes)
it just goes wrong when I click apply mod

That's all I know...I already 10 times read this topic to see if somebody else had this problem but for now it seems it is only me 

I have added a printscreen

thank you!

When I run the install it gives me "Success" for everything apart from install.php but nothing has changed on the server?

[Gobalopper]

What version of SMF do you have oschikhof?

Redeye, does the ?action=mm not do anything? Did it say failure for install.php then?

Ravey76, when you upload it by hand it shows up in the package listing?

[TheDel]

Hey Jesse
(now I really dont wanna go backwards and ask this) but do you have a manual mod for this with an install (for the dbase changes)?

LIke I said Ive been dying for this since you made your SE version.
In fact- we were going back and forth on IM the night you were tweaking it.

If not- no biggie

[oschikhof]

I am just using the package manager in RC2...

So I am using RC2 

[Redeye]

What version of SMF do you have oschikhof?

Redeye, does the ?action=mm not do anything? Did it say failure for install.php then?

Ravey76, when you upload it by hand it shows up in the package listing?

No it was blank across from install.php

I presume the ?action=mm is placed after the normal URL to the forum? Just a screen refresh.

[Ravey76]

@ Gobalopper:

>"when you upload it by hand it shows up in the package listing?"

No, unfortunately not. As soon as I upload the file by hand, the "package listing" doesn't work anymore > "Internal Server Error",
nothing works. If I delete the file from server, everything works well again ... I guess my server has a problem with the zipped file...

Kind regards,
Ravey76

[oschikhof]

I have installed a new forum (next to my existing forum) in another map and another prefix for the database. Here also the same modification parse error when I want to install the mod with the package manager..

Why doesn't it work? Has it to do with the php configuration of my provider?
For example:  register_globals  is Off in my providers config. 


I do not understand why it doesn't work...   

[[Unknown]]

Nothing should be affected by register_globals.  We strongly recommend you keep that off.

Ravey76, souns like your server has no zlib.

That should be correct.  Your's doesn't bring anything up.  And you didn't get any errors during the install? 

You mention something about "install.php" -- did you get an error there?
