Away Reason Hack

[glas]

I've run into a bit of a problem with the away reason hack. Ever since I installed it, I cannot access any of the users' profiles in the ACP. It just tells me

There seems to have been a slight problem with the Halliwell Haven Forums database.

Now, I know when the hack was installed, it installed a MySQL query where it added a table.

So the mdatabase could have looked like:
name
avatar
Online


And is now:

Name
avatar
away
here
Online.


I know this is most likely fixable, but I don't know how. If you could kindly tell me, I'd most appreciate it.

Thanks!

if you want to delete the away and here tables then open up phpMyAdmin and do it there

I would have done that if I was confident that I could do it. ;) But I'm not. So, is there a bit more detailed explanation that anyone can give me? I'd really appreciate it!

Thank you.

if you want to delete the away and here tables then open up phpMyAdmin and do it there, it's a DROP command

I don't see any "away" or "here" tables at all. :\


Editing to add that I must disagree with the people who tell me that the vb.org team helps, because I've not received one ounce of help from anyone on this forum on a multitude of topics. How sad.

glas, if you are not sure about something... you should not install a hack... never.
Let me know what tables and fields the hack created, I will make a script for you to drop them... if you are not comfortable with phpmyadmin.

That's the thing, Teck. I was sure I could do it, and I pretty much did do it. The hack works fine. It just screwed something up in the process and that's not what I'm sure of to fix and I won't fix it unless I sure it'll work.

FROM_UNIXTIME(awaydate) AS awaydate,
Add a comma there at the end.

The end comma fixed that error, but produced another. It seems the code was messed in the install file, but it's fixed now (for Glas)
