did as instructed m8, and i got this on my board...
board is now dead.....

any ideas??

Make sure you have uninstalled the previous version of the hack PRIOR TO installing this one. The plugin that was in global.php has been removed in the new version. You probably have it left over from the old one.

thanks for the advice..shame it wasnt seen b4 my board was lost....

over 12 months of stuff gone????

gutted

If you've read the instructions carefully, you would see that it says "Uninstall the old product XML". How come you haven't done that?

Anyway, calm down. Your board is not gone. Use the following tool to temporarily turn off plugin system:

Once you turn it off, you can easily uninstall the old version of the hack.
After which, you can install the new one. :)

^ Yeah that.

Also, never install any hack without first backing up your DB.

I have found that most hacks (if not all) hacks work perfectly fine on a new board (ie a board with no other hacks or mods). But when you install the same hack on a board with a load of mods, then errors can and do occure. Even fatal ones which delete all but 16 of your vB tables (happened to me once).

SO, BACK-UP, BACK-UP AND MAKE COPIES OF THE BACK-UP LOCALY AND ON YOUR SERVER!

Or, make sure to EXACTLY follow instructions :P

Yay for the new update! :)

I am having trouble with getting version 2 to work right.
#1 - I don't see the place where I can edit the date and user name of a post.

#2 - I get the following error when I try to edit a message:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE post SET
userid = 0,
username = '',
ipaddress = '',
editlevel = 2,
showsignature = 0,
allowsmilie = 1,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
iconid = 0,
attach = 0
WHERE postid = 250;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'editlevel' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Everything worked just fine in the previous version.

@carolem: Edit them in the ACP. And the Error can't be solved by this Hack, there is no Plugin that use a Hook for that function.

@Psinoc Vision: I would prefer if you can use an own PhraseType instead putting all into the Global Type. If you don't know how, I may help you with this.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the product. (I do confess that previously I did not uninstall the old product before I added the new product.)

The database error no longer appears, but I still only see the box that lets you change
Author
Mod or
S Mod

as the attachment shows and I do not see the box to change the author of the post or the date of the post.

We do not use Moderators or Super Mods at this site - only admin is able to use the advanced editing function.
