I just updated to 3.4.04 along with some of the mods I'm running. Everything seemed to be working fine EXCEPT when I post, I get this:

Think there is a problem with my post_info.asp? Or is it a permissions problem on my db? Appreciate any quick help.

turn off friendly error messages in IE and you'll see the exact error.

Thanks Nikkol (and for reponding so quickly).

/forum/post_info.asp, line 2103
I may have messed up the file when applying the poll mod. Was not sure about a couple of things when I compared the 3.4.04 file.

I'm not sure what the error is telling me?

Well, given the problems I'm having, I reverted back to my 3.4.03 with older mods.

Not sure if the admins/moderators want to keep this post here or move it to the mod implementation forum.

I'm trying to troubleshoot but not having much luck. If anyone could take a look at my post_info.asp file, I'd really appreciate some expert help. Thanks.

well your problem was telling you that the problem is in post_info.asp line 2103 - id have a look but you seem to have removed the .txt file... it could be that you had to remove
& _
when installing a mod and didnt or that you had to add
Response.Write
to the line after a mod - theyre not the only possibilities obviously but a few of the mods require that

Oops, sorry. When I reverted back - I forgot to move the .txt file. It's back up now.

When working on the poll 2.0.7 mod, I was not sure at around line 1005.

not sure why you got the error - but try removing
'## Subscribe checkbox end ##

from the end of your post_info.asp - im not entirely sure why it should be a problem but that seems to be where the problem is falling...
O and 1005 is where the poll mod should be - you have put it in the right place so that shouldnt be a problem

I deleted '## Subscribe checkbox end ## and the got this:
quote:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03f6'

Expected 'End'

/forum34/post_info.asp, line 2101
I've looked at the post_info.asp and cannot figure out what is going wrong. On another note, my active topics is resulting in:
quote:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'

Expected statement

/forum34/active.asp, line 595

end if
^

So it would seem I have more than one problem going on? I'll take a closer look at home tonight. Double check the premod files vs the mod files.

I do appreciate any help though because I do not know much ASP. Thanks Jezmeister.

hmm i feel i should do something to earn that thanks lol well the problem isnt that you've removed the '##Subscribe checkbox end##
hmm i get expected statements all the time when i play about with the scripts... its usually a missing & _ on the line above or that the part in question simply isnt needed - check that you actually have an if statement that needs ending above it (am not actually checking the file here so i could be completely wrong)...
considering you have two problems simultaneosly i would check that you have followed the installation instructions for all your mods correctly.

It's plain hard to find out the cause for an error, if you test the forum after adding several mods.
I would suggest one of two alternatives:

1. Review the changes suggested by each mod in each of the files where you're having errors, because you forgot some changes for sure.

2. This is a last resort one: get a fresh base version and add the mods one by one. Test the full functionality after adding each mod. Like that you will know what mod causes any given problem, if problems do arise.

Okay, I was able to isolate it to the polls 2.0.7 mod. I kept a backup of files pre-poll mod, and with them, the forum works fine.

I was also able to find an extra "end if" in active.asp. So that's fixed.

So it comes down to post_info.asp from version 3.4.04 with the poll mod code. I'm still not sure where I've gone wrong. There must be an "end if" or "end sub" missing? I'm assuming that's what is meant by Expected 'End'. I keep going through the file using WinMerge.

So I'm closer, almost, but not quite...

I think I'm having trouble merging the following...

Poll mod post_info.asp around lines 957-993

		strSql = strSql & ", 1 "
		strSQL = strSQL & ", 0 "
		strSQL = strSQL & ", 0 "
        	strSql = strSql & ")"

		my_Conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
		
	'############################ Poll Mod ##############################
		if Request.Form("poll") = "1" then
			strSql = "SELECT " & strTablePrefix & "TOPICS.TOPIC_ID "
			strSql = strSql & "FROM " & strTablePrefix & "TOPICS "
			strSql = strSql & "WHERE " & strTablePrefix & "TOPICS.T_ISPOLL = " & 1 & " "
			strSql = strSql & "ORDER BY " & strTablePrefix & "TOPICS.T_DATE DESC"
			set rsPollID = my_Conn.Execute (strSql)
			
			PollID = rsPollID("TOPIC_ID")
			
			rsPollID.close
			set rsPollID = nothing		
			
			'## Forum_SQL - Add new poll to Polls Table
			strSql = "INSERT INTO " & strTablePrefix & "POLLS (CAT_ID"
			strSql = strSql & ", FORUM_ID"
			strSql = strSql & ", TOPIC_ID"
			strSql = strSql & ", P_WHOVOTES"
			for i = 1 to ubound(txtAns)
				strSql = strSql & ", ANSWER" & CStr(i)
				strSql = strSql & ", COUNT" & CStr(i)
			next
			strSql = strSql & ") VALUES ("
			strSql = strSql & Cat_ID
			strSql = strSql & ", " & Forum_ID
			strSql = strSql & ", " & PollID
			strSql = strSql & ", '" & chkString(Request.Form("WhoVotes"),"SQLString") & "'"
			for i = 1 to ubound(txtAns)
				strSql = strSql & ", '" & chkString(txtAns(i),"") & "'"
				strSql = strSql & ", " & 0
			next




3.4.04 post_info.asp around lines 881-887

			end if
		else
			strSql = strSql & ", 1 "
		end if
		strSql = strSql & ", 0 "
		strSql = strSql & ", 0 "

Can someone please tell me what this code should look like after copying the poll code into the base 3.4.04 post_info.asp?

looks fine to me...
you can use the one at: <<link removed>> to check if you like - its the one i use on my forums - has polls installed, no other mods (that use post_info.asp anyway)

Thanks Jezmeister!!!

That's exactly what I needed. When I used WinMerge, I was losing a few lines of important code. Just for the record (for me next time or maybe others), here are the changes I needed to make.

Your correct code... post_info.asp lines 999-1004

			else
				strSql = strSql & ", 1 "
		        end if
		else
			strSql = strSql & ", 1 "
		end if
		strSql = strSql & ", 0 "
		strSql = strSql & ", 0 "
        	strSql = strSql & ")"

[bad code]My incorrect code... post_info.asp lines 999-1000
		strSQL = strSQL & ", 0 "
		strSQL = strSQL & ", 0 "
[/bad code]
