Settings not saving.

[PING1434a]

Hello, I just installed this hack and after installation I did the settings and it saves everything ok, but when I go back into the settings, all settings disappear! it makes all the typed settings to empty field and all the yes/no to NO. I read previous thread on this page about not saving, and did the same thing but didn't work.
When i run the mysql query:

SELECT * FROM setting WHERE varname like 'warn_%';
DESCRIBE warnings

I get:


An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
DESCRIBE warnings' at line 1


FIXED! SORRY, I DIN'T KNOW AFTER RUNNING THE INSTALL_SETTINGS.PHP SCRIPT, YOU HAD TO RE-SETUP. I EXPECTED THE SETTINGS THAT I PREVIOUSLY DID TO MAGICALLY APPEAR! ><;

I'm having the same problem... So what do I have to get Myth to do?

Edit: He thinks he knows what he did wrong.

Ok I have reinstalled twice, double checked file edits, templates and all but we are having the same problem.

King Kovifor can't even figure it out.

Any help much appreciated.

Do the new settings exist? Try running this query:


SELECT * FROM setting WHERE varname like 'warn_%'


And let me know.

[King Kovifor]

I would do that but I have absolutely no idea how to do querys or what they are. I mostly do template work but went into simple PHP stuff.

Easy, open your admincp and scroll down until you find a section entitled "Import & Maintenance", then open that and you will see Execute SQL Query. Click on that, and in the "Manual Query" box, paste the query I told you to run.

I am having the same problem..

I have tried the query above. Did not work. Unless i added prefix. Still not saving my settings.

any other ideas?

[sv1cec]

Run this query:


SELECT * FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX ."setting WHERE varname like 'warn_%'


Replace ".TABLE_PREFIX ." in that line above with whatever table prefix you are using in your site. If the query returns nothing, point your browser to the following URL:

http://www.yourdomainname.com/admincp/warn_install_setting.php

and follow the instructions.
