Click try again, and it worked. But... did it?

His isn't exactly the same as that one.

You need to remove the ', ' from all of those group names admin the admin center. Then you can re-add them after the upgrade.

Oh right, sorry, only looked at first glance

[madfiddler]

How do I do that? via myphpadmin?

[Chris Cromer]

In the admin center. Edit your member groups and remove the apastrophe's from them.

[madfiddler]

mmm. trouble is, I'm going about the upgrade a strange way.

I've uploaded a clean smf install to a test directory, then uploaded the update files on top of that. So I have no access to yabbse admin to make these changes.

Strange, as the first install I did earlier today worked perfectly, apart from a calender error. Installs no good now as I managed to delete myself (the admin) from the memberlist via the membergroups page.

[Chris Cromer]

Go into the membergroups table and remove the apastrophe's from those rows manually then if you can't access the admin center.

[madfiddler]

Thanks for you help. This looks ok doesn't it? This is an export of the unconverted table. No quotemarks here or apast...

Well - is it working yet? If not then on your *converted* forum using phpmyadmin empty the membergroups table and run this:

Code Select Expand


INSERT IGNORE INTO fiddleforum_membergroups
(ID_GROUP, groupName, onlineColor, minPosts, stars)
VALUES (1, 'Forum Owner', '#FF0000', -1, '5#staradmin.gif'),
(2, 'Global Moderator', '#0000FF', -1, '5#stargmod.gif'),
(3, 'Moderator', '', -1, '5#starmod.gif'),
(4, 'Newbie', '', 0, '1#star.gif'),
(5, 'Jr. Member', '', 50, '2#star.gif'),
(6, 'Full Member', '', 100, '3#star.gif'),
(7, 'Sr. Member', '', 250, '4#star.gif'),
(8, 'Fiddle God', '', 500, '5#star.gif'),
(42, 'Fiddle Hell Organiser', '', -1, ''),
(41, 'Forum Committee', '', -1, ''),
(40, 'HonouraryModerator', '', -1, ''),
(43, 'Forum Sponsor', '', -1, '');

You may need to mess around with it afterwards but that would make it work...

[Chris Cromer]

The problem seems to be that it isn't inserting the minPosts for some reason.

[madfiddler]

Aha, yes, you're right. I'll do it by hand... This is a supermod board btw.

[Chris Cromer]

Supermod isn't supported by SMF or YSE... wouldn't surprise me if it being a supermod board is behind this.

[madfiddler]

Yeah, I know. It's just really strange that it worked first time around. Mind you, that was with an older Smod version of my database

[Chris Cromer]

Well supermod gets farther and farther away from the YaBBSE codebase as versions increase because they add more mods and changes and stuff.

This should no longer be a problem in the cvs...
