animedj,
nice to see you back posting Mods. You will probably need a further revision when the next release comes out, to take into consideration moderated posts.

I set-up the new version and have 2 slight bugs to report (would of posted in your own forums but your system still hasn't sent me a password)
Bug? 1: When setting up the system with slash_admin the language box doesn't contain anything so when you update you get a blank page by manually entering the language in the database field (en) the system works obviously this would be a difficult thing to do in a production version
Bug? 2: The Mods table of my database already had information listed before the slash mod data (New member PM) when first run I got a blank page, again manually re-arranging the data cured the problem. I havn't tested the New Member PM to see how that has been affected as it seems to cause other problems and I will be removing it anyway.
Now a question How can the mod be configured to display different outputs on the same page? an example would be nice 
Just checked re-arranging the data in the MOD table did not affect the New Member Private message being delivered
Checked again New Private Message sound no longer works

okay... first you need to go run mod_db_setup by Huwr.. as you see there is 3 dbs files:
one for new installations.
one for upgrades from 2.10
one for the languages table.
If you are upgrading from 2.10 before you go to the slash_admin, you need to run the upgrade and also the languages locale dbs file.. once you do that.. multiple languages would be supported by the mod. But for the moment I just included and english and spanish version.. so if anyone wants to contribute with more different templates of different languages, just go ahead.
And ok, although I might change the way it works, this is how you would do it:
let's say you want show an output in two different parts the topics of FORUM_ID 1 and FORUM_ID 2.. for that we use the strCustomSQL variable before calling the slash parser.. so it would be someting like this:
<!-- includes here -->
<%
' show topics from forum 1
strCustomSQL = " and FORUM_FORUM.FORUM_ID = 1 "
Slash()
%>
.
.
.
some text here
.
.
.
<%
' show topics from forum 2
strCustomSQL = " and FORUM_FORUM.FORUM_ID = 2 "
Slash()
%>
And I'll check the registration of the forum.. but you can always click the forgot password link so the password would be re-email to you. Hope that helps.

got it posting different parts of the forums on a page which is great and now I see how it's done, a lot easier than some of the other varients around (no disrespect to anyone  )
As for the installation, if I remember correctly I manually created the table to accommodate the PM New members Mod so technically this was a new install of the slash mod. I tried following the instructions to set-up the db on 3 different versions of the forum
1. fresh install
2. version with slash mod 2.1
3. The version I had working with V3 (without the language db upgrade)
I had problems with the db setup of all 3 on 1 it wouldn't create the Forum_MODs Table
On 2 it Wouldn't upgrade the db
on 3 it wouldn't add the language support entries
I used 3 different copies of Mod_dbsetup.asp in the end I manually upgraded the database and it works fine.
Since the first install worked OK (I just forgot to install the language support) I can only assume it has something to do with mod_dbsetup.asp if this is the case it might be worth including a version that works with the script
PS I got my password cheers

Ok!! update the zip file with the db_setup that I'm using and is part from the new alpha version of snitz.
And I might need to be more specifically about installation.. to install the mod you either have to do any of this 2 scenarios:
1. Run the fresh install and then the Languages support.
2. Run the upgrade and then the Languages support.
You can't run the 3 at the same time, or duplicate values would be added to your MODS table.
Also for this week.. I'll be woprking in different view.. based on a idea that I got in the content managment mod.. so keep an eye here as I'll announce it here. Andthnaks for the feedback.. I know that I need to write a technical document for installation and such.. but I'm not good writing those.. so any takers??

I have updated the database etc, but when I run slash_admin.asp I get this error
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea'
Syntax error
/casioserver/uk_home/emi/sandv/forum/lib/lib_slash.asp, line 97
set oTpl = New TextTemplate
------------^
any ideas?

that's when you try to run it at you local computer?? it seems that it doesn't want to create the vb class necessary for the parser. I would say also to check the slash_admin.asp to see if it contains the lib_template.asp and that this file is found under the LIB directory that's in your znits root directory.

Great,
It is not on my local machine, it is on the company Server, although it did work when I uploaded it!
Many thanks
