When poeple install my Site Integration MOD for the first time they seem to have a problem whereby the new Application variables added in config.asp don't get assigned the appropriate values from the databse straight away. How do I go about forcing the forums to go back and repopulate the application varibles?
Closing and restarting the browser doesn't seem to help and neither does rebooting the local system. Does it have something to do with being logged in (cookies)?

How about running setup?

I have a similar problem when I, for example turn on the Bad Word Filter in the hidden administration section on Rakkoon.com. The words aren't filtered in comments made through the site. To get that working I use a seperate ASP file with only this in it:

<% 
Application.Contents.RemoveAll

Response.Write	"<p align=""center""><h2>Application Contents Removed</h2><br>" & vbNewline & _
				"Please wait...</p>" & vbNewline & _
				"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""5; URL=default.asp"">" & vbNewline
%>

Of course you don't need the message nor the redirect, but I added it so I don't have to click the "back" button to return to the homepage

Maybe this helps you too?

I guess that might work, but it seems a little excessive just to reset the application.

Sound like it could be the answer. Presumably the next time a forum page loads, config.asp is run and the application variable are reloaded then. Does this appear anyhwere in the original Snitz code?

If you use removeall, make sure there are not other parts of your web application that use app variables. I know I wouldn't like this run on my website.

I tend to avoid application and session variables like the plague so I guess it will be ok for me, but maybe not for the other users of my mod.

I use admin_run_config.asp which was not included in the 3.4 download for some reason.
