How about releasing a version that has both parts (2.2.5 and 2.2.6) in it for those who want a text version for pre-2.2.6?

I would, but I don't have vB 2.2.5 here to validate what I'm writing. And I'm going to bed now - it's 6:30 AM over here and I am *still* awake. :).

How about you use my re-release as a template, create a file for 2.2.5, post it in the 2.2.6 thread and I link to the posting in my own first post? :)

G'night!

I have the original version too, but i will try this new version.... The actual version seems a little buggy in my forums.

That's odd...I had no problems getting it to work with 2.2.6. It's been a while since I installed it, though, and I don't recall what adjustments, if any, I had to make for any code differences, though.

...re-release? I installed the first release on my board (vB 2.2.6) and had no errors, or problems what so ever.

I've been running this on 2.2.6 for many months now with no problems either. But that's just me. :)

There are several errors and unclear instructions in the original installer by bira (code to replace has changed in 2.2.6, a wrong find/add after, etc.). Look in one of my last posts here, I compiled a list of them. Some were pointed out by me and fixed by Boofo, others by Birdie501 and talon3dhq. You probably didn't have any problems getting around these errors, others might have. :)

Please note that I have fully credited bira and all who contributed to this re-release! And only after bira did not react to PM and mail - he/she didn't visit this board since the beginning of 2001.

I only compiled the new text-based installer, that's all.

Yes, Erwin, but didn't you and JJR512 already have the hack installed when you upgraded to 2.2.6? That is a lot different than installing it on a fresh copy of 2.2.6 and being a newbie at it, too. We've all done enough of these hacks where we get to know how to work around these things. The people just starting out doing it haven't been doing it very long, and it gets confusing sometimes for them. Just like it did for us when we were new at it.

Sounds good, I've noticed some minor errors in my version also, so I'll have to update when I get the chance ;)

When I upgraded to 2.2.6, no, I didn't have it installed. I had it installed in an earlier version, but in an earlier upgrade I didn't reinstall it. Besides, having it already installed shouldn't matter. Having it already installed only saves you the trouble of doing any database changes and possibly adding templates; those are the easy parts. The hard parts are doing the file modifications, and upgrading completely destroys file modifications, because you're using new, clean files.

I understand what you're saying about being a newbie...but it's because I had to figure things out on my own that I'm not a newbie anymore. ;)

But I'm not saying there's anything wrong; I'm just saying that, in my experience, I don't have any problems.
