in fact, code.php have the CREATE TABLE statement. The table is not created when you install the mod? or you want to install it manually?

I installed it via the package manager, but the table wasn't installed... I really don't know what went wrong..

After I installed this mod I get the admin panel options to show up, but I never see anything on the board index.

Anyone have this happen before?

After I installed this mod, it showed the text for the mod at the top of the forum instead of working. I'd only installed SMF Acade before I installed this one. Please help!

The mod is working fabulously for me! I do have one question, though. There is one bot that is not showing up as a spider on the main page. I added it to who.template.php so it shows up as a spider once I look at the who's online page, but on the main page it just shows up as a guest, not a spider. It's definitely not a huge deal, I'm just being picky.

Any idea how to fix this?

Can't anyone help me out?

Look in the langauge folder of the defult theme and find the "Modifications.english.php" file. In that file somewhere NEAR the bottom you will find a symbol like this:

?>

That has to be moved to the VERY END of the file and all that text should go away.

Bigguy answered this earlier in the thread!

Jessondair · May 07, 2007, 06:24:22 PM

Twice, in fact!

Maury · May 07, 2007, 10:51:53 PM

No one has helped me though

Maybe you haven't had any bots on your site. It won't show up if there aren't any there.

Maury · May 08, 2007, 08:46:12 PM

I've had like 300 guests on my forum for over 3 weeks!

Jessondair · May 08, 2007, 08:51:22 PM

Have you checked the IPs to see if they're bots? Maybe it's just me, but 300 seems excessive. I rarely have more than 10 bots at any one time! But if you have a lot of users on AOL, each one can show up as a ton of guests because the IP changes with each new page.

I don't claim to have all the answers, but 300? Wow.

The IP tracks to Yahoo, but they are ALWAYS on my website doing things like looking at 4 year old posts, and "Reporting User To Moderator"

You can actually open up the modifications.xml and see what changes are supposed to happen on which pages... check that against your files and make sure everything matches up.

Maury · May 15, 2007, 11:22:47 AM

I finally figured out what my problem was....Apparently you have to ALLOW your members to be able to see the Google Spiders and Bots through Permissions.

So Admin > Permissions > "Regular Members" > Allow Visable Google Spider and Bots

To let everyone see the Spiders and Bots, otherwise they contiune to show up as guests.

Hi - I installed this mod and I really like it, but I have a problem - I can't change the settings in Features and Options - I can tick/untick boxes but as soon as I click "save" it bounces me back to basic features and doesn't save the changes.

I'm using the v1.1.2 engine and a theme - did I miss something somewhere when manually installing to the theme or is this a known issue etc?
