The program you used to upload the files for this hack should have the ability to chmod.

Basically you need to change the permissions of the folder and all contents to 0777 which is read/write access.

the errors you are getting is because the script cant write the files to that directory.

HTH

sorted
i was using DW but i have a proper FTP client now :)
sorry guys

Hi,
ive installed the hack and all seems good

but when i go to my AdminCP and go to the "GAB Manager" drop down - nothing shows
i can click things and it brings up the menus, but the names are missing?

sorry if this is a repost, i did check to see if this has already been asked

Ok here's the bugs I've found so far using VBB 3.0.7:

Phrase seems to be missing, even when you manually add it, it still doesn't show:

Could not find phrase 'GAB_settings_saved'.

Placing this code in the navbar template doesn't do anything:

$GAB_ad1

Error in admincp/index.php code change - code is:

= false;
// === GAB ===

Should be:

$printhr = false;
// === GAB ===

On advertising.php (I presume people can add their banners using this) - database error:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM GAB_packages ORDER BY ordinal,title,id ASC
mysql error: Table 'db114478486.GAB_packages' doesn't exist

Found an error in admin/GAB_admin.php - looking for the wrong phrase (line 1034):

print_stop_message('GAS_settings_saved');

Should be GAB_settings_saved - but see above phrase issue.

A directory isn't created, this might be me not reading it right, but you need a ./gas directory for the images to be uploaded to.

And basically, I can't get it working, at all, I'm hoping that these will be resolved and a non beta will be released, this is a great hack.

++++ - sorry guys
i found it in the end! my bad

all working - cheers

right, im defaintly stuck now and i have read everything! sorry!

i cant get the ad's to save and i cant seem to upload images - altho i feel it would be so much easier if i could just put in a hyper link of where the banner is located on my server - is that poss?

You are right and I still cant get it to work. Install is ok and testing shows up, but $GAB_ad1 does nothing to my templates...

I have $GAB_ad1 in the navbar, I run the test and everything looks fine, but the add wont show up on the forum.

if u PM me an admin account Ill look at it for you

sent :)
