I use the test forum and can afford way like clutter ))))))
Be careful. This mode(hashtags from DBTech) only supports with UTF-8. If you use another charset, you will have one more not working hashtag feature...

Yeah, I always encode in UTF-8 since it's virtually the "universal language" of the internet.

I too used a development forum for testing this modification out and then I used another server entirely (from bare metal at SoftLayer to virtual at AWS) and got the same results.

As I said, this could be a top modification but given my correspondences with the modification's author I don't hold out hope for this mod to be anything more than a headache.

I've kept this mod tagged and am watching the thread in case things start looking up for it but I definitely believe I'm just going to get the plugin from DBTech. It's a small price to pay to not have headaches.

The enterprise environment which this site is deployed to is unique and I was willing to give leeway that the governor for SQL was interfering but the AWS instance was pretty much standard RHEL with cPanel installed and it ends in the same disaster.

I really hope the author of this mod goes back to the drawing board and fixes the issues because if he [or they] did that this mod would definitely jump to the top as a "must have."

The maintenance of the big projects are not so easy and this is the first version of the product, Bugs are possible for sure. vBWonders is a project contains about 18 feature which make the maintenance harder than the other modifications (The small one feature modifications) these modifications are so easy to maintain as they are just few lines of codes!

However, I'd like to say WAIT FOR THE NEXT VERSION it will fix all of these problems.

We will, vBWonders will be a must have project :)

If there's any other database errors please let us know, We've more than 18 feature in vBWonders so bugs is possible with a large project like vBWonders :)

We are more than happy to help, please pm me with the details of your database error or any other sensitive details.

I will state that I enjoy this mod, but it does seem to have a few issues. One is that, unfortunately, having it active causes my forum to 'double post' if one uses the 'quick reply' function of Vbulletin. Turning off this Mod solved that issue.

Is that something that will be fixed?

How to uninstall this ? it's always get Database Error !?

You have two options: disable the plugins/hooks system from config.php and than uninstall the modification as you normally would (since it is now just an XML and hope the XML acts right). Than re-enable the plugin/hooks system from config.php.

Option two is more drastic but I've found it the one that I still have to do with this modification: restore the database to a previous version that didn't have this modification installed.

You can either do that through the server shell (SSH) or via phpMyAdmin by finding the vBulletin database and dropping all its tables. Than simply re-import the database backup that you made prior to installing this modification and vBulletin will be working like nothing ever happened.

Please note, if you are inexperienced with interacting with databases should you choose option two, I would advise that you find an experienced member willing to help you out. vBulletin.org nor I will be held responsible for loss of data, business, etc.

vBWonders: Out of curiosity, I wonder if your issues are stemming from MariaDB which, while it is a "drop in replacement" for MySQL, does still indeed function a little differently.

I remember when you were trying to help me the errors it specified in the install script you created specifically for me referenced MariaDB driver errors at the top and not MySQL database errors.

It might be something to look into. MariaDB is the future and we use it in all our deployments; not sure about everyone else.

Just un-install the xml file from admincp no more, We fixed various database errors in the current version 1.1, Please PM me with the details of that error.

It's just the start, We've so many other features in the next versions :up:

The double post issue is a conflict with other mod, Please PM me for troubleshooting.
