Mike, That worked! I am in business now, the only issue I see is that when I use the default template one of the tables turned black. No matter though as I dont plan on making the default template available.

Cinq, Once I get my articles ported over to the new system you can use my site as a demo site since it should be a good example of a large installation of vbarticles because I will end up with about 280 reviews. If all goes well I will make sure to donate to your further development of the software.

Thanks again guys,

Eric

It could be a case of me missing an
in one of the td tags.
In any case, v2.0 ( which is coming very soon ) should correct it, since all templates created will be new ones, so I'd suggest do not customize the templates too much at this point. Wait for the upgrade :)

Sure thing, just let me know :)


Would be much appreciated, thanks :)

On what I am sure is a related note, I am not getting all of the last six options on the Articles Management screen, you know the ones that show what paths to use for images? Any ideas? I did, yesterday, try rolling back the changes to the database so that I can re-install from scratch... is there a missing field now that is causing not all of the options to show?

I feel like a dumbass!

When you say you are not getting the last 6 options, do you mean their description and titles are not viewable ( but you can see 6 rows there ), or you aren't even seeing the empty rows ?

Screenshot if possible would be good

I'm not getting anything:

What did you do when you 'rolled back' the first install ?
Manually remove all the phrases, templates, setting additions, tables etc ?

If the 2nd reinstall went smoothly, and all the settings are added correctly, you shouldn't face this problem.
Do a check in your phrases for setting_vbartartimgpath_title, does anything turn up ?

I do see that phrase in my list. Pretty much all I did was try to drop the tables and remove a few values from the DB... is there a tool that will roll back the changes to the DB so I can try that part of the install again?

Check the settings table, you may have duplicates, causing the 'no-show' of some of those settings.

Take a look at the install_vbarticles.php file, the portion which inserts the settings, to see which settings titles you should be looking out for.

I hate to be a pain but is there a way I can alter the install file to do the opposite in the database? My install is mucked up right now and I would just prefer to start new.

I'll send something over tmr for you Eric. Drop me a PM with your email contact.
