Is it possible to be bug in the new version ?

[SleePy]

It says its installed?

If you go into the database.
Then go to smf_log_packages.
Find the one that has a package id of "SleePy:alias_boards".
Remove that row.

Then run this query:

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO `smf_log_packages` (`filename`, `package_id`, `name`, `version`, `id_member_installed`, `member_installed`, `time_installed`, `id_member_removed`, `member_removed`, `time_removed`, `install_state`, `failed_steps`, `themes_installed`, `db_changes`) VALUES
('alias_boardsv1.1.2.tgz', 'SleePy:alias_boards', 'Alias Boards', '1.0', 1, 'msvdm', 1210652624, 0, '0', 0, 1, 'a:0:{}', '1', ''),

That should add it back in and treat it like it was installed.
Then hopefully you should be able to

Is it possible with this mod, to have boards link to any website/location in the world?
Just like SMF2.0 has it incorporated?

What error?

Chriss Cohn,
This mod was intended to alias a board, there are redirection board mods out there that can do that though

Apply Mod
This package is already installed, and no upgrade was found!

You should uninstall the old version first to avoid problems, or ask the author to create an upgrade from your old version.

Please remember to always make regular backups of your sources and database before installing mods, especially beta versions. 


Install Actions
Installations actions for "Alias Boards":
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF. 

[SleePy]

in the url change it to uninstall from install. See if that lets you uninstall

Was this the latest mod you installed?

[msvdm]

thats really strange i found one backup before to install the mod and after the backup no changes in the Browse Packages i have version 1 BUT in List files in package is the new version 1.1.2 

[SleePy]

Do you mind if you send me in a pm your admin (and if possible ftp details)?
I want to see what is going on and see if I can't get it to be removed even if I do it manually

Hi SleePY

This is a great mod. Exactly what I was looking for. 

I got some errors while I was testing though.

1. The mod seems to interfere with "Custom Board Sort" mod in /Sources/ManageBoards.php

2. I uninstalled "CustomBoardSort" on my test forum, applied this mod again, then I got
--
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '{db_prefix}boards' at line 1
file: /home/domains//public_html/testsite/Packages/temp/database_install.php
line: 39

3. And I also got a weird warning saying that my SMF is 1.1.5 but the database is 1.1.4. Run a "upgrade.php" might solve this.. 

MySQL 5.0.41
SMF 1.1.5 (upgraded from 1.1.4)

any ideas?
Thanks!

[SleePy]

1. I will look into this when I have time hopefully

2. Try the attached database_install.php file. Just upload to the Same location as SSI.php and run the script from your browser. It will make the changes needed by alias boards for it to operate
You can do this before or after the mod install (before it would prevent errors on boardindex and messageindex from the columns not existing).

3. Thats not an issue, it is what SMF does when it detects versions are not equal incase the user is at fault for the problem by not running upgrade.php. You are fine though as no database changes have been made to 1.1.x since it was released as Final two years ago.
