I installed avatars, I had changed everything in pop_profile.asp, resgister.asp, but now, I can not enter in member profile, and nobody cant register, I upload old pop_profile.asp and register.asp (not changed, original from snitz) but now, I can't open also this original files, where is mastake?


And now when I try to add avantar, i get this:



Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e37'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find output table 'FORUM_AVATAR'.

/pf/admin_add_avatar.asp, line 90

yah! I got that too...the MOD doesn't add a table! so, it can't find it!

and when you uploaded your original files something was still there...

translation of error:

Hay dude! You're asking for a table that don't exist! IT WON'T WORK! WHAT DO I DO!?

don't u wish errors spoke english?

it looks like the problem is with needing this file (avatar.dbs) so you can use the mod setup uner admin options to add the table. THis file was not included with the mod.

where can we obtain this file ?

the intructions are as so:

"Database setup related (SHOULD be DELETED after use)
(extract these files to your /forum directory)
(Use with the MOD Setup link in your Admin Options)
-------------------------------------------------
avatar.dbs (for new install of v2.0)"

There is nothing wrong with the Avatar MOD. Everything that is needed is included in the .zip file.

Most likely you are using an Access97 Connection string, which doesn't work well with any MOD.

You can download an updated version of the MOD Setup that will alleviate the problems associated with using an Access97 connection string here:

But, what you should really do is change your connection string to the one for Access 2000.

Wow I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out why it wouldnt add the FORUM_AVATAR table.

It was suggested I use Crashs' dbs_avatar file which didnt work, also used Richards' updated admin_mod_dbs file, which also did not work.

Previously the only way I could get my forums to work was to use a simple connection string:

DSN=forum

Now I changed it to:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:\full\path\to\my\database\snitz_forums_2000.mdb"

And everything works like a charm!

I dont know why I had to use the simple connection string in the past, but Ive changed hosts since then and maybe thats why a real connection string works now. -shrug-


Um, I am pretty sure if you try a new con string youll get it working
