| This may be a dumb question, but does this mod'ed installation include a mod for allowing anonymous posters? I didn't see a mention of it, but I did see that someone had pointed out that the forum does show the number of anonymous members in the interface. |

Sorry Lussypoo... still stuck as well. I can point the config file at the old database and the forum works ok, but, the sitnews.asp and the Guest Book do not work. There may be a few other parts that fail as well, but, I didn't try everything. I figure it's something to do with the earlier mods that I put into the old database with a previous version. Some other problems may have been added to it when I tried to set it up. Proly wouldn't have any trouble using the SH forum with a clean database. ??
I would really like to use the SH forum, it's nice. But, I can't see doing it half way.
I just don't know. Sorry, keep watching here for any clues as to what we can do. |

I have the SH Forum up and running with a few modifications.
1. I dumped the LiquidChat and replaced it with ConquerChat. I made a few modifications there also. If you've ever used LiquidChat, you'll understand why it had to go. If not, try changing the font after you've posted and watch all of the text you've written then change, font type and size, depending. Now consider you're using Web Dings. 
2. I moved the database to a secure location rather than being under /<forum directory>/db
My site is new and for web/application development. If you'd like to see it working, it's here: http://kiddanger.com/
You can use guest/guest to review so you do not have to register.

FE TopEagle, you need to use the "virtual path" "strConnString" the one your using is for like a file on the server "d:\mywebsite\snitz_forums_2000.mdb"
And just so everyone knows my code is setup for "Access 2000" only, its not working on MySQL or MS SQL yet. Also it for new installs only. I removed this from the first post and forgot to add it back, sorry.
People have been able to upgrade an old database, but i have not tryed to so i cant realy help with doing so. I do this in my spare time to try to help people, because i love the snitz forum code. I can only do so much, as i am but one man. |

| I upgraded a forum from 3.1SR4 to Serverhachers with no problems at all. Just run the dbs files (still using the old code), then delete all the files (expect the database) and upload all the new files and click the setup.asp and update forum counts - thatīs it ! |

Thanks to all... I gave up on this and simply upgraded to the latest version of Snitz. I'm re-installing my mods a little at a time and it's working well... no portal, but, I'm happy.
Thanks again. |

I got flamed like crazy when I went to Serverhackers (not by SH himself tho') forum and said the code was flaky. I'm glad I am not the only one who has given up on this. I've kept v3.3.5 running on MySQL. Maybe MySQL was part of the problem? |

Hmm...well, I like his code.. it's just that my database will not function with it,(at least enough to allow all the neat stuff to function properly).. and, I don't know how to update it so it will. Lots of folks here and over on SH site have worked with me and advised me in how to do it, and, I've applied their guidelines, but, it still refuses to cooperate. hehe... I'm thinking it's something about my database, probably from all the mods I had in a previous version. I just decided that I'd rather not lose all my messages and the user base.. Sorry you were unable to get it working... it's a nice setup!

I am currently using 3.1sr4 with a couple of mods, Wii, please can you give me a brief step by step of how you did it (i.e what do you mean by 'run' the dbs files, I have only set up Snitz once and it was a long time ago so a little bit rusty on terminology.
I have a large(ish) 15mb database that I would like to hang onto as it contains a lot of info and it has already been corrupt once this week and lost a lot of information.
Thanks for your help Anybody? |
