I've noticed the install readme for 1.2.0 says the upgrade is for 1.1.0 to 1.2.0, however I'm running version 1.0.0 - how can I upgrade my version to the most recent?

andrew67 - I'll have to check the install script... I might of forgotten to add the table_prefix stuff to a couple things... However it sounds like you are trying to do a duplicate install on top of the same locations. If you have a test board, are you using the same database name, just different table names, or the same database but different tables? The last error is in reference to the added column in the user table. Also you should pay attention to the extra indexes it creates, that might throw up an error when you try to install too...

Vixion - Same rating style as ebay (you can read their help docs). Your "feedback score" (which is displayed in the postbits) is based on unique members. However the "all positive feedback" number is not uniques, it is the total number. If you want it different it's not too hard to change it your self.

JazzleBug - You can't just alter numbers on a whim. They are recalculated based on actual ratings every time a rating is added/deleted. You would have to add "fake" ratings into the DB to make them permanate.

WoodiE - No, you can't. I need to put up some other files in a bit, I'll throw up all the upgrade files too (and be sure to include them in future versions). You will have to run the scripts to upgrade from one version to the next.


Also, yes I plan on continuing development. I've just been extremely busy... Overworked and underpaid... ;)

I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Will these files you mentioned have a vb2 upgrade script for your old hack? I know you've been busy so I've just been quietly waiting for one :)

Nope different databases however I just got access to drop the tables and am about to try and install it again.
Will let you know.
Thanks

Deleted old table ( no idea how it got there ) and installed fine. Thanks Jason , excellent hack.

Just out of curiosity is there any plans or does anybody know how to limit either the amount of feedback a person can give another person per day? Or to stop duplicate entries (happens if people double click the button etc.)
Would be good to somehow do an "if andrew67 has already rated eocJason on 07-10-04 then go to an error page saying (you have already rated this person once today)"

I suppose I can add in code to make sure they don't rate the same person twice in one day. However they can always edit & delete the duplicate entry (within the first 5 min). I haven't had any problems with my users leaving dupe feedback.

My install went smoothly and it seems to have installed correctly. But, being the n00b I am I have no Idea as to how to work it.. Any pointers for the retard?

I figured it out.. Works great
