No new ideas about what can i being making wrong?
Perhaps i could tell you the administrator username and password to try you to see the problem?
It's a test site, so no problems with making the password public.
Thanks in advance.< |

David, appreciate your mod and want to give some ideas if they will be possible in next releases.
In portal.asp, instead of having this code:
if strCMSEnableActiveTopics = "1" then call DisplayActiveTopics(strCMSRightNavWidth, strCMSActiveTopicsItems)
if strCMSLMInstalled = "1" then call DisplayLinks(strCMSRightNavWidth)
if strCMSEnableSearch = "1" then call DisplaySearch(strCMSRightNavWidth)
if strCMSEnableForumSearch = "1" then call DisplayForumSearch(strCMSRightNavWidth)
if strCMSEnableGoogleSearch = "1" then call DisplayGoogleSearch(strCMSRightNavWidth)
call DisplayCategories(0, strCMSRightNavWidth)
I prefer to use a string like 'rightcolumn' with a value like '1-2-3-4-5-6' and do this
s=split(rightcolumn,"-")
for i=0 to ubound(s)
select case(s[i])
case 1: call DisplayActiveTopics(strCMSRightNavWidth, strCMSActiveTopicsItems)
case 2: call DisplayLinks(strCMSRightNavWidth)
case 3: call DisplaySearch(strCMSRightNavWidth)
case 4: call DisplayForumSearch(strCMSRightNavWidth)
case 5: call DisplayGoogleSearch(strCMSRightNavWidth)
case 6: call DisplayCategories(0, strCMSRightNavWidth)
end select
next
With this system we can alter their order (f.e. rightcolumn='2-5-3-6-4-1') from an Admin panel without any code change. Even we can add a panel where users can personalize the portal changing this order.
Also we reduce the variables needed and stored in database.
I expect your comments

acercatealaluz,
it seems like you have done something wrong when installing this mod, at least the database has not been correctly updated.
I think you should start again, as it will be difficult to know where to start searching for the error.
Follow these step in EXACTLY this order.
- Install a fresh Snitz 3.4.04 (the tools.zip is not neccesary) to your /FORUM catalog.
- Check that it runs OK
- Upload the file dbs_portal.asp to your /FORUM catalog
- Go to Admin Options and log on as an Admin
- Select Mod Setup
- From the drop down menu, select "David's Portal Mod" or "Portal" (or whatever this MOD lists)
- if, for some reasons, the system is unable to run the commands in the dbs file, you have to do the following instead.
Select Alternative Mod Setup
In the window that appears, paste the content of the dbs_portal.asp
Carefully note if there is any errors
Now the database should be set up correctly.
- Make changes to the files that the MOD instructions intructs you to. (You have propably already done this, so if you have a copy of them, you may use these.
- Upload these changed files to /Forum
- Upload the rest of the files (asp, gif, jpg's) from the MOD to the /Forum
- Test that your forum still works
- Configure the MOD
- Test the MODs functions

kind regards

You don't run dbs files in the browser 
Go to Mod Setup in admin options and run from there< |
