This should be posted in the modification's thread, as it pertains to the modification. This is not a general programming question. Thank you. :)

I'm sorry, there just hasn't been a post since February and none of the authors have been online for quite some time.

Where can I find this plugin, here on the org?

[tbworld]

I'm trying to install a mod, (Point Market 3) and i keep getting a database error with the following:


Have you uninstalled this, then reinstalled? If the MySql is not coded correctly, reinstalling the MOD could give you a duplicated column error. This can also happen on multiple views across two or more tables with the same name -- although I realize this information is unhelpful.

I can't un-uninstall, since I'm receiving the error as the mod is being installed. I've removed the tables and even re-uploaded the files and then tried to re-install, to the same error.

I would not uninstall... That is usually a very bad idea -- unless you know what you are doing. Show us the error when you try to reinstall. Reminder: You should always have a complete backup of your board when trying a new modification.

Ahk. Wonderful :/

>>>>>>>>>>>>BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE YOU PROCEED<<<<<<<<<<<<

Go into your host account, phpMyAdmin, click on your sites database, find user table... click it, on the right, look for column name 'market_points', remove them.... now try to reinstall.

You may run into this issue again for other tables that were created in one of your installs of this plugin.

As i posted above, i've already tried that multiple times. I've cleared every table with the prefix market_ and tried to install and the same issue pops up

Have you looked at the table clearly marked above? That will not have a 'market_ 'prefix on it. That is an existing vBulletin table.

table: user
column: market_points

[vBNinja]

the issue is not a duplicate table, its a duplicate column in the user table

go to phpmyadmin and run this query:

ALTER TABLE user DROP market_points;

Wooh! it worked! Thank you guys so much! :D
