                        I would just like to say that I am appalled at the state of most mods currently available for Snitz, I have just setup a new Snitz forum and added half a dozen MOds (my first in some time), 70-80% of them do not work due to poor installation instructions and bad or db specific code.

                                        Did that guy upload an arabic version of your mod PanHandler? He has no description of it. I am prone to remove for lack of description. I have no clue what "copy startimes editing (copy 8) . .Team Work startimes" means.<

                            Originally posted by DavioI don't know what it is. I looked at the graphic files and there's nothing wrong with them. The writer obviously put some effort into it. It seems very undocumented and I did not try to implement it.

Its misguided and probably should not be there as illustrated by the complaint posted earlier in this thread.

                                        Star was the name of one of those Arabic forums that was distributing a translated version of the forums with the copyright removed. Have a look in the inc_footer.asp of the download to see if the copyright is intact.

                                        I realize that I'm digging up the past, but I've spent over an hour reading this rant so I wanted to contribute.
I would first like to say that I am totally new to ASP and programming in general. I did not download the Snitz forum because it was free. I wanted an open source solution so I could learn.
I don't think that an "approved" mod list is a bad idea, but I don't think the "open source" aspect should be ignored. I get frustrated adding mods, but I think that has taught me more than a school ever could. I search these forums and usually find help. Maybe one day I will be able to help too. Who knows?
Anyway, I'll just share my procedures for the rest of us n00bs;
 
PS: This has been noted in several other topics, so this is just a reminder. Turn off friendly HTTP errors. This has helped me almost as much as these forums have.
Again, I don't mean to dig up an old topic, but I hope I helped someone, somewhere.

- Add the mod to my local server, tweak (if necessary), and test with multiple users and multiple machines.
 - If the tweaks and tests go well; Backup every file from my host's server to my machine (just in case).
 - Add the mod to my host's server so my users can use (test) it.

                                        I gave up modding sometime ago. There are some solutions that is just not suitable for "all dbs". I mean I dont know how I can make performance + generic DB solutions or have time to do different tests or different solutions for each database type. I can't do without ROWID, RANK etc. now or FreeTextTable. Linux based forums are lucky to have only one single type of database. Which they require different DB's till minor versions let alone major now. For me best solution turned out to be make work specific codes for Snitz now. My entire work now turned out "customisation" of Snitz for my own, removing extra lines that I will not use and finding more custom perforamance solutions for my DB type/version and work, which I MUST with a db over 120k users and million posts.
Ofcourse continuing to share info if someone looks for them.
