i have replaced the file many times and nothing, ill try to do it via ur instructions but i need to crash rite now its 2:30 and im tired. but thanks for the advice anythign is worth a shot.

It was your mistake, you was absolutely using the old zip file which contain the old product xml file and old instructions which leads to the errors you got. I suggest you completely remove the hack and try the file Timeslip 3.6 v1.2.zip. Please be careful this time.

The reason for the mistake was the same reason I made the mistake and that is because the product-timeslips.xml was included with the zip when it should have. On top of that the SQL syntax is wrong which causes the "customfield" table to NOT be created. As a result when you try to uninstall the product from the product manager it runs into an error becuase it tries to drop a table which does not exist (customfield). Also "tdban" and "field50" were not added as well when I installed the products-timeslips.xml.

I have it all fixed now with a bit of modification to the old XML file.

Rigth on turbolaserAWD, that is awesome man, glad you got er runnin man........

Any definitive word if the new vb3.6 version will work when trying to upgrade from the old vb3.5 version ?

Also just so you guys know you can also have the "Ride" coincide with a custom field.

A while back I created a custom field (field5 for me) that listed my members cars. The car would show up in the profile and would show up in the postbit. Since field50 was never added for me and "field50" is the field where you enter your car information, I simply left "field50" out and used my field5 which was already entered a long time ago.

Then I just went to the timeslips.php file. There are 2 instances of "ride" in that file. I just replaced the one that links to "field50" and replaced it with "field5." Then voila, people who already entered their car don't have to enter it again and it automatically shows up on the Timeslip.php page.

ok well the editing of the old xml by TurboLaserAWD found here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=434
worked on my test forum it completely uninstalled the xml, but not on my actual forum

i just set up the test forum on my local host last nite so that this does not happened again.

Sounds like your "field51" doesn't exist either. Go into your phpMyAdmin and click on the table "userfields". All of your fields should be listed. Check to see which fields you actually have. The old XML file has to match that exactly so if you are missing "field51" in your table in phpMyAdmin then you need to remove that line from the XML uninstall code. Then try it again.

Great job on helping out turbolaser, that is awesome.....

Yeah no kidding, and to think I'm having to learn this crap as I go because I know nothing about coding. :laugh:
