trying to install i get an install test failed error in /sources/modsettings.php
any suggestions where to do i go from here??

Hi there,

I am getting the same problem as ellion!

I have just updated 1.1.5 to 1.1.6 and have a small list of other mods, including the improved who.template.php as suggested in this mod's description.

Execute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php Test failed

I guess I could back everything up and try anyway, but I'd guess modsettings.php is important to the installation?

Kind regards

G

Download it (if haven't already).

Admin > Packages > click Download Packages tab > go down to where is says "Upload a Package", click browse, find the downloaded file, then upload, then apply.

There is a tab to configure it in Admin > Features and Options

if you are getting any messages, check out the package parser and edit those files manually

Granular · September 13, 2008, 06:09:31 AM

Bec,

Thanks for that info.

I haven't had to do this before, so...

I have run the parser and it shows the edits, so do I install the package as is - with the error - and then make the edits to modsettings.php post install? Or do I edit modsettings.php before install, or do the whole thing manually?

Thanks

Granular,

No worries, wasn't that long ago I was the same. Install the package with the errors and then make the changes to the file that you received the error on, just double check that the code wasn't inserted before adding anything

Granular · September 13, 2008, 01:13:02 PM

Sweeeeet!

Thanks for that!

Mod is now installed and appears to be functioning as advertised.

I don't see the "Google last visited this page on...." at the bottom of the page but I'm thinking that is because it hasn't visited since the mod was installed (10 minutes ago!)?

So, credit to creator(s) of the package parser (I'll be using that again in the future!) and thanks Bec for the moral support....anything is possible....with SMF!

Cheers

Your welcome, glad you got it sorted

Mystiquo · September 15, 2008, 02:08:54 PM

Sorry for me but it is normal that some spider me as a user signs with the name of the spider?
You can retain user online today in the names of the spider who visited the page today?

Bugpac ™ · September 15, 2008, 09:30:38 PM

so this is working in 1.1.6?

JimM · September 15, 2008, 09:38:40 PM

Works fine on my 1.1.6 forum. It was installed when I was at 1.1.4 and did fine with all the upgrades.

Bugpac ™ · September 15, 2008, 10:08:59 PM

do you know which file you are using from the mod list?

Yep, Googlebot_v2_0_3_only_smf1.1.x.zip is the correct one for SMF 1.1.X

Thank ya much

Bugpac ™ · September 17, 2008, 11:27:02 PM

I got the modsettings error as well, and i dont have a clue how to edit it, can someone help?

JimM · September 18, 2008, 12:02:22 PM

Is this the error you are getting?

QuoteExecute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php Test failed

If so it means the installer could not find the statement it was looking for. In that case you use the parser that is on the modifications page to see what you will need to manually edit.

Select your forum version from the dropdown menu and click Submit.

This normally happens when you have installed another mod that may have changed the file and the package manager can't find the specified insert point.

Probably here:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=143;attach=31743;smf_version=1.1.6

and follow the instructions for ./Sources/ModSettings.php

Bugpac ™ · September 19, 2008, 01:35:10 PM
