I have a forum up and running on Brinkster...the freebie account.
I've added some mods with no problem because they don't require the asp files that were coded especially for use on brinkster, but what do I do when I want to add the mods that do alter those files? Is there anything special in the code that I have to do to make them usuable on Brinkster?
Also, is there a certain order I have to go through to add the mods cause a lot of them use the same files or do they build on each other?
thanks for your time |

I used to run my forum on the free Brinkster account, and had no problem with installing MODs.
I didn't use the modified files to run my forum, just added the 'on error goto 0' at the end of the problematic files (in a specific place though).
The only trouble I had was MODs which needed email components, as Brinkster doesn't have them (free account anyway).
There isn't really a certain order to go through, as long as you clearly comment MODs, so you know what you've changed where...makes it easier to explain problems to people, if you know what MODs have changed that code aswell.
Hope that helps!

If there are completely new files, you should do what Oli said: add on error go to 0 (that's a zero, not a letter O) to the bottom of the files right before the %> tag.
If the MODs require alteration of the standard files you shouldn't have to worry about them. Just install a MOD, test it and if it works you can go on installing a second MOD. Don't install more than one MOD at the same time. If something goes wrong it's too difficult to find out which MOD is causing the problems.
Also, always keep a backup of your files before you edit them. If something goes wrong you can always go one step back with the backup files

Thats all I did. When I was uploading a file, Brinkster kicked back a problem saying about 'on error resume', so I just added 'on error goto 0' where Frutzle said.
Trouble that I found with installing MODs, and I have a lot of MODs, is that you test them where they are meant to have changed things, and weeks later, when you go to do something else, an error pops up...after installing other MODs and testing them! Oh well...MODs are fun, even though they can be annoying!
