Hi, ChriZathens, This usually reflects that the original database encoding is not the same that the destination database, sometimes due to phpmyadmin version difference. So ensure your both database has the exact same definition (encoding, server/client encoding, table encoding, text field encoding)...

> mojavemark: you are just supposed to copy the install_cal/ directory (directory included ) into your board root. The install should start itself, redirecting you to http://your_board.url/install_cal/install.php

*_im_prefs is not a table linked to this mod, so it has to come from something else, maybe a local script version that wasn't matching your online script version (im probably stands for instant messanger, if this can help).

> mojavemark: this means the install has not run on your setup. How do you installed the mod ?

Categories Hierarchy 2.1.6h is designed onto phpBB 2.0.23 (download packs available at the demo site).

Honestly, I really can figure how a post would be deleted: the merge process is very straight away for the posts: update of the topic_id on the posts table. Have you attempted to find it in the database (posts_text & posts tables) to check its topic_id ?

As the posts are re-oredered within the destination topic by post id, maybe they are "lost" in the previous pages ?

> baerenwurm: this is due to the way your scripts includes common.php or page_header.php, eg within functions or methods without the global vars added by the mod (common.php and page_header.php are not designed to be included within functions without a caution review of the global line in the functi...

> pendeja: not sure to figure what you are meaning: when you pack a parent forum, all its direct childs - forums, links or categories - are using a forum layout (eg one line). When not packed but split, childs will be grouped by categories, each categories being split from the other : in this case, ...

> Peter77sx: if you have Run stat mod, activate the sql debug to get the list of requests performed: it will allow you to track where they are made.

1- Yes, the whole content of the root/ directory from the mod package (eg you don't copy the root/ directory itself, but its content), 2- AFTER, ADD means add on a new line after the full line containing the searched quote, eg the searched quote is suffisant to find the full line, 3- You can go with...

er... I don't know what you did with the mod, but this is not due to the basic version at least: the mod generates one query to get the forums authorised, one query to catch the topics, and one query to catch the depending informations (first post text + author of the first post text). Sorry to ask,...

Actually the code I posted replace entirely the original mod, so you may want to drop the original to install this one. What I have put in page_/overall_header only reflects the test I've done: you can skip this part . I didn't look at the styles.* (.php + .html) as you said you didn't use them.

I meant "Redo your forum hierarchy".
