I have set up the latest version of Snitz and only installed the 5in1 pak. Everything is working great except for the Proeder's file attachment. When I go to the Attachments Administration configuration screen (from admin options), the Allowed Extensions box has the following message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error 8'0040e37'
invalid object name 'FORUM_CONFIG_EXTENSION'
../ADMIN_ATTACH.ASP, line 394
Any help would be gratefully accepted. |

Is the forum using a mySQL or an MSSQL database?

| Sorry for the late post. The forum is using MSSQL database. |

As for the 5-in-1 pack, the Proeder's mod has only been tested on a mysql database.
I cannot help you beyond that. So: it could be a database issue or it could still be something else.
Can you set up another forum using a mysql database and test it out?

| I've been using the Proeder's File Attachment Mod now for some time with no trouble. I am using a MSSQL Database. (GREAT Mod by the way) |

Thanks mdelcour2000 - then that means the problem is in the installation. . .and that an MSSQL database is compatible with Proeders.
With the 5-in-1 mod all the work is done - only the config file needs coding.
In which case I would recommend re-installing the mod and checking the config file for accuracy at each step.
Beware that each mods becomes the stepping stone for the next. . .you can't just pick out the Proeder's mod and attempt to install it alone.

| Thanks for the suggestions on this. I would prefer not to re-install the forum as I have users on the system. Would it be possible to see a config file from someone who has only installed the 5 in 1 pac on a fresh version of Snitz? |

I also installed this mod with MSSQL. The only two changes in config.asp are the following. Notice the line(s) before the attachments additions for reference.
'#################################################################################
'## Do Not Edit Below This Line - It could destroy your forums and lose data
'#################################################################################
'############## Attachments ###############################
Dim strUploadUrl, strAllowAttachment
'###########################################################
and the second one is:
' ## Read the config-info from the application variables...
'########### Attachments ############################################
strUploadUrl = Application(strCookieURL & "STRUPLOADURL")
strAllowAttachment = Application(strCookieURL & "STRALLOWATTACHMENT")
'##################################################################### |

texanman: Those mods to the config file are already in place (if he's using the 5-in-1 pack).
SoundByte says that he "has users on the system" - so we can assume that the forum was working before the proders mod, which means that SoundByte has the correct connection string.
The Proder's mod is number 3 in the sequence of the 5 mods in the 5-in-1 pack.
The previous two mods have to be installed and working correctly.
SoundByte should make sure that this is the case.
When the two previous mods are verified working, then, if SoundByte uploads the already modified pre-packaged files for the Proeders mod and runs the dbs file, the only remaining possible error would have to be in the connection string.
texanman: just one question.
You installed the Proder's mod - did you do the installation from scratch, or did you do it from the 5-in-1 pack?

I see what you mean.
I did Proeder's file attachment from scratch. I had 3 out 5 in the 5 in 1 package already installed. |
