The installer will now use Chen's vbHacker as an install option to make it really easy. If you do not have this - you can get it here:

vbHacker :banana:

You heard it right here first! As an added convience to our fellow hackers/hackettes we have added support for Chens illustrious vbHacker. This is a pretty impressive hack all in itself. So now, if you have had troubles in the past getting the Paperclip or Profile hack to work, this might be your ticket in. :D I am still working on the permissions problem or atleast determining there is a permission problem and handling it appropriately. I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible though.

I have finaly fixed the permissions problems when copying files. Now either the install.php file can fix the permissions for you or it will pause the install and tell you what permissions it needs changed. I hope this helps.

I tried to run the install program (I deleted all previous tables and files) to get this set up again. While trying to install tables, it said:

Creating tables...

The script reported errors in the installation of the tables. Only continue if you are sure that they are not serious.

The errors were:

Error number: 1064

Error description: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '; ' at line 1

Here is the full sql query:


No full sql query was given.

Looks like my gremlins attacked me again :angry:

I have uploaded a new version that should fix that problem for good. I took my arc welder out and made sure that piece of code would stay in there this time! :eek:


The vbHacker addition is the last part of the install. I have included that for the purposes of modifying the existing templates and source code files. With all the SQL code and templates that I had it was easier to only have part of the install be handled by vbHacker.

The error you got with the ';' problem. Have you seen that error before? I am trying to figure out what causes the error. I have the same problem on my production server but not on my test server. I want to make my test server have the same requirement since most people are setup that way.

lol Bear...ok, I'll try it again. And no, I've NEVER had a ";" issue before...and I have about 20 hacks or so installed that work just fine that hav never receieved that error.

somebody has had to have seen it before. I seem to have the error coming up on everybodies database but mine!

Apok2002,
I was just going over the past posts and noticed that I never responded to your idea. To expand this portfolio into a gallery. That would be cool. Could have different groups by the file type/file owner/update date/etc... I also would like to incorporate a software package called CVS. Concurrent Versioning System. This would allow for multiple versions of the same document with maximizing the storage by only storing the diferences between the old file and the new file.

Just an endless list of wants....:D

I think I will get this out of Beta first though. How did you install go? :fingerscrossed:

We need at least one Beta installer on here with a successful install. The download is updated and in our latest bug-free environment - unless someone comes up with one.

Please note: the installer has change to a much easier interface since 1.1.x.

Thanks for everyone who has helped us get this past Beta - I know there are a lot of forum owners that could use this hack.

BTW, we never posted the user cp screen shot. Here it is:

Using the installer, I got the same error. What is the 'work around' other than using manual install?
