Panhandler, the problem is with the "SHOW" field in the db setup script.
You will need to change "SHOW" to something else. Then you can run the db setup script and it will work.
After than you need to go through all the code for this mod and change "SHOW" to whatever you named it.
Found the same problem in the Recipe mod which looks like it was based on this one.

I got back to it a little sooner than expected.
Same result. This time I took a screen shot of the table creation error:

Anyway. . .I think this is the root of the problem.
Any ideas?

Have you checked if the tables are already there?

Yes.
No.
Yes: 3.4.05
Everything has been restored to pre-link install.
I'm sure it's one of those other mods that are in conflict but there's no way to tell now.
I would have to re-install Links Manager to attempt to duplicate it.
Time probably isn't available to do it this month but I will try again.

It is a fresh install of the MOD or an update from v2?
Snitz version, database used? Link?< |

That forum already has several other mods installed including Poll Mod and Proeder's (Mikes) file attachment.
I restored the backup files, no harm done.

Has anyone created an RSS feed add-on for the Links Manager that shows new links, top rated or popular links it does not have to be all three just one would be great.
Thanks< |

Yes, upgrade instructions are included in the readme file.< |

This is a problem with another MOD which changes the getStar_Level function.
Replace line 436 of links.asp
Response.Write " " & getStar_Level(intMemberLevel, intMemberPosts) & "<br />" & vbNewLine
with
Response.Write " " & getStar_Level(intMemberID, intMemberLevel, intMemberPosts) & "<br />" & vbNewLine
This should help.< |

Well it's only when viewing a comment, which I admit not to have tested.
I only wrote that the implementation were done without problems < |
