!Fixes for undefined errors and better recaptcha checking that it is installed.

How do I completely uninstall this from the database so I can reinstall it fresh? I'm having issues with this mod using the verification questions. Users can send emails even if they get the answers wrong but I know it's not the mod itself because I've tested it many times on fresh 2.1.1 and no problems but something in my forum is broken and I'm trying to figure out why. So if there's anything left over from this mod after uninstall, what do I need to look for in the database to remove it entirely?

Thanks

Edit: I have a topic going on here about related issues.

When you uninstall a mod, there is a checkbox that says: Remove all data associated with this modification. if you click the Details link, it will list all the data that the mod has added to the database. Tick it and then uninstall the mod. Hope it helps.

This one don't have that option or I would have!

I have not seen the code of this mod, but most likely it does not add to the database then.

I've installed several versions of this mod on the same database in the past so I'm not sure if one of them left a trace before the hook version or not or if it always used hooks, I dunno/remember!?

VB's on vacation right now so I'll just have to wait and not use the mod for now until he can verify.

So after more researching and testing today I'm thinking my issues from the other topic (link in quote) is the contact page mod. Because the verification questions work on registration. Then I found with the contact page I can bypass the default image verification (for example I typed the letters backwards) and skip the recaptcha and it will send email with no errors. (see images)

That is incorrect.

To the best of my knowledge, in 2.0, at leasr, Mods need to specifically set up the database uninstall option

I think that maybe you misunderstood my post above. What I meant was that the mod itself maybe has not added any data to the database, as I had not checked the code and I was not sure if that was the case or not.

Anyways, can you please show me a concrete example of where Mods need to specifically set up the database uninstall option?

1. They have to use <database> to load their script.
2. They have to use $smcFunc['db_create_table'], $smcFunc['db_add_column'], $smcFunc['db_add_index'] when adding their changes to the database.
3. If they want, they can also specify a <database> for uninstall too to do housecleaning that might otherwise be missed by the above (e.g. removing package servers, removing admin_info_files entries)

Plenty of mods - especially mods upgraded from 1.1 fail on either step 1 or 2.

Yes, I am well aware of point 1 and 2.

3. If they want, they can also specify a <database> for uninstall too to do housecleaning that might otherwise be missed by the above (e.g. removing package servers, removing admin_info_files entries)

I am aware of this too, but this is not mandatory a.f.a.i.k.

Anways, that is not what I asked though. What I wanted to know is a concrete example of this part: Mods need to specifically set up the database uninstall option.

I am asking because as mentioned above, the step number 3 of your post, is not mandatory a.f.a.i.k. I am working on a few mods and I need to know if this has changed recently and it has become a must, so I can adapt my mods accordingly. 

[Arantor]

Man you are pedantic. And coming from me that's quite a thing. It's not an endearing trait.

OK, so if you declare your mods correctly, database uninstall will usually be set up automatically. You may need to manually do this if you are doing houseclean that isn't just adding tables, columns or indexes - like I said.

For example, if you are removing a package server (as several of my mods did back in the day), removing settings you added to smf_settings (SimpleDesk does this), you *explicitly* have to add a <database> setup for the uninstall.

If your mod behaves when creating tables, uninstall is usually set up for you. But creating tables/columns/indexes isn't the only optional housecleaning that people might want to do. If you don't create tables correctly, you should still be able to use <database> to produce a houseclean.

This hasn't changed significantly in over a decade. I was doing this stuff in SimpleDesk in 2011, with the install/uninstall-required/uninstall-optional files.

But, to the point  ... if the mod uses a php SCRIPT to set up the database, as many older mods do, there will be no "remove mod from database" option

That is all I need to hear. Thank you for the clarification.

For all SMF releases:

Just discovered this mod does not remove any of the mod-specific files it copies to ./Sources, ./Themes/default, or ./Themes/default/images when it is uninstalled ...

This...(may need to split to another topic) but I agree with this whether it is a true statement/rule or not...I mentioned it somewhere b4 but can't recall where but I think all mods should remove everything entirely upon uninstall! I have a whole slew of mods still in my database from 2.0 after upgrading to 2.1.1 that I don't/can't use now, that I would like to clean up! Although shawnb61's script is awesome it's still a pain in the arse to clean up all the old mods that might be ghosting around and possibly causing new/unexplained/undetectable errors/problems (for the non coders/developers) like myself.  

Just my two pennys!  

(Edit: My comments are meant for future mods because I understand...what's done is done!)
