Well, in that case, I really don't know what to say...

Hello again

I tried the whole proceedure again from a different location and for some reason it worked.

Thanks so much for your great help on this

My guess would be that you're using MySQL 3.23 - a version of MySQL that this MOD doesn't support.

Its running 4.1.21-standard. Any ideas how to fix it?

Hello

I am now trying to install the "Hide Zero Posters - Categories Hierarchy Addition"

It was recommended that I install "Categories hierarchy" first.

When trying to install Categories hierarchy - 2.1.0 this is the resulting error:

FIND FAILED: In file [memberlist.php] could not find:

$sql = "SELECT username, user_id,
FROM " . USERS_TABLE . "
WHERE user_id <> " . ANONYMOUS . "
ORDER BY $order_by";

MOD script line #1214 :: FAQ :: Report

Does anyone have insight into why this problem is occurring?

Thanks

Flaco

Nope

I'm not sure which version fo the Categories hierarchy mod I intended that to be for (when I wrote it, I don't think I thought subsequent versions would change that), but if it doesn't work in 2.1.0, then I guess it doesn't work...

Is there another version of the Categories hierarchy mod that can be installed that would allow the installation of Hide Zero Posters - Categories Hierarchy Addition?

Thanks

There's probably an older version that you could do it with, but I wouldn't recommend installing older versions of that MOD. If you had to chose between this one and that one, I'd easily chose that one over this one. Someone at http://www.phpbbinstallers.com might be able to help you get it working with the latest version of the MOD, too.

Great, thanks for the tip.

Terrafrost would it be advisable to try reinstalling the mod again using easymod or would this screw up the database by adding some lines a second time.

I have no idea what went wrong, but am still eager to install this mod as I have searched all the others but havent found one that will help with my spam problem.

Relooking at the query, I think I see the problem:

Code: Select all

UPDATE phpbb_users AS u,phpbb_posts AS p1 LEFT OUTER JOIN phpbb_posts AS p2 ON p1.poster_id = p2.poster_id AND p2.post_time < p1.post_time INNER JOIN phpbb_posts AS p3 ON p3.post_time = p1.post_time SET u.user_firstpost=p3.post_time WHERE p2.post_time IS NULL AND p1.poster_id = u.user_id;;

That < should be <. I know EasyMOD can, in some cases, do things like that - I guess this is one of those cases. As such, I'd recommend just trying the SQL from phpMyAdmin.

FIND FAILED: In file [includes/functions.php] could not find:

MOD script line #157 :: FAQ :: Report

I just tried applying this mod to a freshly installed phpBB installation using 2.0.22 (although its based on an already existing database [that i cleaned before reinstallation with the Clean phpBB SQL Tables 1.0.8 mod]).

I did apply some other mods before hand:
EasyMOD 0.3.0
SQL Backup 1.0.11
Block Open Proxy Registrants 2.2.1
Disable Board Message 1.4.1
Anti-spam ACP 2.0.0a
Log IP Address on Registration 1.0.0
Rebuild Search 2.4.0

sorry terrafrost im a total noob at this. Could you explain to me step by step what I have to do? Do you use msn messenger (if we could talk thru msn I can do it straight away, cheers)

I've run into the same problem. It seems the Anti-Spam ACP mod has already altered the usercount and newestuser SQL queries to hide inactive users...

Code: Select all

			$sql = "SELECT COUNT(user_id) AS total
				FROM " . USERS_TABLE . "
				WHERE user_id <> " . ANONYMOUS. $as_sql;

Note the addition of the $as_sql, where

Code: Select all

	$as_sql = ($board_config['as_acp_hide_inactive']) ? ' AND user_active = 1' : '';

I think that replacing the $as_sql with the code provided in the mod would still give the correct results. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks...

olafganoga - the problem with your registration page is due to stuff like this functions_post.php:

Code: Select all

	{
		$meta = '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=../../includes/%20.%20append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . '=' . $forum_id) . '">';
		$message = $lang['Deleted'];
	}
	else
	{
		$meta = '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=../../includes/%20.%20append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . '=' . $topic_id) . '">';
		$message = (($mode == 'poll_delete') ? $lang['Poll_delete'] : $lang['Deleted']) . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_topic'], '<a href="../../includes/'%20.%20append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . "=$topic_id") . '">', '</a>');
	}

	$message .=  '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_forum'], '<a href="../../includes/'%20.%20append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id") . '">', '</a>');

Code: Select all

	$meta = '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=../../includes/%20.%20append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . "=" . $post_id) . '#' . $post_id . '">';
	$message = $lang['Stored'] . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_view_message'], '<a href="../../includes/'%20.%20append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . "=" . $post_id) . '#' . $post_id . '">', '</a>') . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_forum'], '<a href="../../includes/'%20.%20append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id") . '">', '</a>');

You're also missing a ' in all of the $meta things. All of these problems have been fixed.

Also, I would like to point out that none of these problems have anything to do with this MOD. Next time you have such problems, please post elsewhere (www.phpbbinstallers.com, for instance) - I often don't have enough time to help people with my own MODs, and I don't need unrelated support requests taking away even more time.

i'm getting a weird error and for it doesn't seem to be because of a database error, that is working fine.
I know I'm just over looking something simple, but these statements are not my strong suit.
When I make the edits to includes/functions.php in the case 'newestuser' statement I am getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/*****/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 40

here is the code:

Code: Select all

case 'newestuser':
			$sql = "SELECT user_id, username
				FROM " . USERS_TABLE . "
				WHERE user_id <> " . ANONYMOUS . ($board_config['zero_newest'] ? " AND user_firstpost <> 0" : "")
				ORDER BY " . ($board_config['zero_newest'] ? 'user_firstpost' : 'user_id') . " DESC
			LIMIT 1";
			break;

If I comment out the "Order By" :

Code: Select all

case 'newestuser':
			$sql = "SELECT user_id, username
				FROM " . USERS_TABLE . "
				WHERE user_id <> " . ANONYMOUS . ($board_config['zero_newest'] ? " AND user_firstpost <> 0" : "");
//				ORDER BY " . ($board_config['zero_newest'] ? 'user_firstpost' : 'user_id') . " DESC
//				LIMIT 1";
			break;

I get no errors, but it shows the last poster as the newest registered. Not a biggie since I could just change the text to read "Last poster" instead of "Newest",
I know I am just overlooking something painfully simple.
