Hi cs7.
I think this is one reason where Snitz "falls down" so to speak - with it's open-ness.
Given the openness of the code, and the popularity of mods etc, it's understandable that people want to install new mods. However, these Mods I'm seeing time and time again, that they cannot be installed on existing databases. I've had exactly the same thoughts as yourself - upgrade the database, then apply the new code - surely all should be well. I however keep seeing the same response "no it wont work".
Its a shame - I lost a load of posts on my forum when I moved over to Snitz - I cannot loose a load again to move over to an excellent mod (like this one).
If anyone has a solution - you *will* be God in my books........ |

I see where you're coming from andyjenkins. I use to use ultraboad. Which after awhile got bogged down and slow and then the company disappeared.
I like snitz better and have never had a problem.
But what I dont get, is if you have to update the db and then manually edit the code to install a mod anyway, And then do it again for a newer version... If someone comes out with a total package, why can't it be done? (edit the config.asp to point to your db; install the new asp files that point to the modifications that are included in the db and then make your site look the way you want in the admin console)
Also, Serverhacker, I really like what you've done.
is there anyway to keep the standard default.asp along with your conversion? (I see yours points to a frame and i'm not fond of frames)
I'm going to give this a try and if it blows up, do something else.
But if it doesn't, I'd like to keep my forum appearing the way it does now. the header I mean.
its version 3.4.02 with the poll, active users, and header cell 3.4 mods installed |

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e10'
No value given for one or more required parameters.

hello, all and thanks for your input (happy you like this  )
I have to go to work so I can't say much, just wanted to let wii know, redownload the zip to get the new active.asp file I fixed it in another post. sorry about that. 
Yes "Stick Topics" installed? It's part of snitz's main code now.
Is "Announcments" MOD installed? No, I will look in to it and see if there is an update of the mod for 3.4.03 code.

Very nice work. Since I'll be migrating an existing database to this one, is it possible to also provide the .dbs file needed to update the tables? That would truly make this a no-brainer!

I did find a problem here:
With this line in active.asp
rs.open strSql, my_Conn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
when I try to open the active topics list I get this:
Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E10)
No value given for one or more required parameters.
/Forum/active.asp, line 310
And that is line 310:
rs.open strSql, my_Conn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText |
I'm here to donate blood...
Someone elses... |

Just to confirm, the active topics works on my forum...
just for reference:
line 309 rs.open strSql, my_Conn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
310
311 if rs.EOF then
312 recActiveTopicsCount = ""
This is what my code shows... |
