manually mod installation help needed

[asduskun]

hi

I want to install mod hide post mod manually but i didn t understand the step below. How can i do that?

Code
add_settings_2.php
This file should not be able to execute standalone. You may have to run the following queries manually.

Query: [Select]


INSERT INTO {db_prefix}settings
VALUES ("modhideShowModName", "0")

it says "You may have to run the following queries manually." what does it mean? and how can i do?

to run queries manually you need to run them in phpmyadmin. if you have further questions about this mod you should post in their support thread.

replace {db_prefix} by the prefix used for your forum and run this query in PHPMyAdmin. Mostly provided at the OP of your host.

most of the time it is smf_ you should be able to view the prefix when you are in phpmyadmin

ok then where at phpmyadmin exactly we are running queries? and what about the statement "add_settins_2.php", what will i do with that?

i would suggest for your second question to ask in the support thread for the mod you are trying to install. i believe in phpmyadmin there is a tab labeled query or similar you put the query there.

[asduskun]

ok thanks then but if there s someone having knowledge about my question please answer here

Thats right. The tab is labeled SQL.
Open that tab and just copy and paste the query in the editfield, edit the prefix and click on run.
