Even if you install with EasyMOD, you still need to upload and access title_install.php to modify the database. That should pretty much solve every problem you have by the sound of it.SheWuff wrote:I am getting a problem with this mod as it will not let you enter anything without getting the "title is too long' message. Also in the ACP when you set the number allowed, it will not save. I thought that there was also supposed to be an option where admin can turn off or on this feature so users can't acess this if admin wants to handle the titles. I don't see anything like that there at all. I also noticed that you can't access any posts as you end up with a critical error on every post you try to acess that has all kinds of crap involved with custom_title...yadayada stuff. I installed this with EasyMod, and the version I am running is 2.0.22.
My board is fairly heavily modded. Line 579 of the lang_admin.php file has something unrelated to the mod:RMcGirr83 wrote:If you have no mods installed you can try this one which is a txt file. So download, save as lang_admin.php and upload into the language/lang_english/ folder.
In lieu of that, what does it state on line 579 of your lang_admin file?
Code: Select all
$lang['Add_disallow'] = 'Add';
Code: Select all
$lang['Delete_disallow_explain'] = 'You can remove a disallowed username by selecting the username from this list and clicking delete';submit';
Did you just install it? The cause at least for the second problem is usually that you didn't run title_install.php to change the fields in the database.Linda Carter wrote:Finally I found this thread!
Aexoden, I don't know if this was discussed before, but your MOD is not working on phpBB 2.0.23. All fields from the Admin CP are blank and we can't modify anything there, that all fields are blank again.
And on my admin profile, I was unable to set any custom title rank. It says the text is too long, I believe the max lenght is set to 0 instead of 45.
Any idea how to fix this problem?
I really need to use this MOD, unfortunatelly I needed to remove since it was not working.
Well, I don't have any EasyMOD here, so I didn't follow any of those 3 steps. You should have explained better that we need to run this title_install.php file in order to make the necessary changes in the database, but instead of doing that you have placed this instruction like it was a optional step IF YOU HAVE EAZYMOD installed.a.

Ermmm, if you don't use Ez-Mod to install why are you reading the EzMod install instructions? Per the README First File, and I quoteLinda Carter wrote: You have said this was a included file on the manual-install (see README for more details).
I was looking the readme file, and here's what I found:
a. EasyMOD Installation

If you get what I mean.
Obviously, you wanted to read the green part and not the red part if not using EzMod. a and b happen to be subsections of IV with 1, 2, 3, etc. being sub-sections of a and b. The instructions for mods are to be read and comprehended for the mod to work.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Installation Guide
This MOD can be installed in one of two ways. If you have EasyMOD Alpha 2, use
that section. Otherwise, scroll down for the manual install. Regardless of
installation method, be sure to scroll down to the Configuration Guide for post-
installation instructions.

You are missing my point here, as usual.RMcGirr83 wrote:Ermmm, if you don't use Ez-Mod to install why are you reading the EzMod install instructions? Per the README First File, and I quote
So, you could say this was my fault, because I wasn't trying to find out why that included file was there. I was tired and it was 02:00 AM when I find this MOD, after a few hours figuring out why the other custom titles were not working.b. Manual Installation
