...ok, I guess I don't have to delete this tbls, but to drop only that column in tbl "language".
How do I do it, what must I type in the qry?

But btw: Why I can'tdrop that tbls "hack" and "hacklog"?

Regards,

adusei

...ok now, I did the following qry:

ALTER TABLE language DROP COLUMN phrasegroup_hacklog

First time it give me back the msg, that two rows are affected...

Then I tried to install again. Same problem, no proceed-button in step 2.

After that I tried to do the qry again. No chance now, I get the error msg (see in my post above).

???

adusei

Hmmm...

Did you do any file edits yet?

...actually: The first thing I did because I was confused and didn't understood your posting correct was to delete some of the phrases - but that I guess can't bring out this results...

Any other idea of what to do?

Regards,

adusei

Something is going wrong with that thing.

Now I used PHPmyadmin to access my db. First I tried to find column "phrasegroup_hacklog", which doesn't exist.
Secondly I deleted the tbls "hack" and "hacklog".
Ten I tried to install "Hack Tracking" again. No chance, every time on step 2 there is no proceed-button and I stuck.

But since that thing is a good addon for vB, I really want to get it. But it seems that it doen't like to come to me...

Anyway, some ideas about it?

By the way: My code above to drop the column is not correct! It has to be:

ALTER TABLE yourtbl DROP yourline; :ermm:

The "Uninstall Hack" control (on the drop down menu of an installed HTL hack) produces a java error for me, and it won't uninstall the hack.. :(

I noticed this when trying to uninstall EvB liteStats..

Adusei, try looking at the table phrasetype and see if there's a row (probably with id 151) called hacklog (as the fieldname) ?

If so, delete that one as well (along with language.phrasegroup_hacklog if it exists again, and tables hack and hacklog).

what browser are you using?

and it's not a java error, but a javascript error, and I don't know what could cause it, really... :/

Internet Explorer 6
I checked through the code of hackadmin.php and there doesn't appear to be anything associated with the uninstall function. There's remove (kill), but that just deletes the mod from the hacklog tables and such in the database I think.. There's nothing that uninstalls an installed HTL mod's phrases and tables.. Or at least, there doesn't appear to be.


There's this in the $hackoptions = array(

But nothing associated with uninstall where you've set the cases in switch (action).

yeah, I forgot to mention, Uninstall is not finished yet.

That's planned for HTL 1.1.

this hack right here, it adds/edits every thing except the .php files....right?

Hi, it's not that there was a mistake in it, it was the hack wasn't complete. I was working on a hack and testing what the install procedure was like so far and now I can't seem to be able to get back into the hack to work with it and change steps etc.? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

I deleted the hack and imported it into the datebase, but still the only to options I have from the "Manage Hacks" page are to either delete it or continue with the installation, I want to edit the steps etc.?

You said above this can be done, how?

Cheers,

G :)

No, you also have to manually edit templates..
The HTL won't do this for you, but instead produces instructions for both php file and template edits.

To do that, you really should either run a TEST install (or Verbose Test) instead of a Real install (which you apparently did, otherwise it will not appear in the Unfinished Hack Installs section), OR you should enable ONLY the step you want to try out (with a real install).

To enable only one step, go (before you do any install runs, so this would be before things got messy for you :)) to the Edit Hack Details page and go to the section which lists what steps are part of the hack. There you should enable only the step(s) that you wish to execute (really execute). Then do a REAL install sequence.

Hi KuraFire,
thanks for the reply!
I deleted ALL tbls in the db (hack, hacklog), there is NO hacklog row in tbl phrasetype - and still the install routine will stop at the same place...

And NOW I've got an additional problem through it:
In my vB now I can't do changes on phrases again, always I get an mysql error msg 1054 - because language.phrasegroup_hacklog doesn't exist.

Now I really need help urgenly!

Bes regards,

adusei

thanx, i well install after VB goes Gold

Hi, I think this is what I need to do to get back to working on the hack the way I had been, how do I do this?

MasterG:

1) delete the hack (which you can only do a Continue Install or Delete Hack for);
2) make sure that that hack's .htl file is in your /htlfiles/ directory;
3) Go to Install Hacks, then select that hack (via the radio button), then start install and choose IMPORT TO DATABASE ONLY;
4) You'll end up directly on the Manage Hacks page. Go to Edit Hack Details for your hack, which should be in there again now, editable and all;
5) disable all steps that you have already executed successfully;
6) Save, then go to the hack's (on manage hacks page) drop down menu and choose Run Install Sequence, then choose Real Install and continue where you left off.


adusei: I really have no idea what on earth you've done to your system, I'm sorry :(

Figured it out.

Had to change "atstep" to -1 after step 4 above.
Bit of a pain to have to query the database to do this, maybe have it slightly different in the next version?

G :)

Many things will be different in HTL 1.1, a new feature will be to "Revert" any hack in the database (essentially putting it in completely initial status with all steps disabled, ready to go again).

Other stuff is gonna go, too, and many other things. For suggestions, please go to the official HTL Suggestions list.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL ADDITION!

Thanks KuraFire. Hopefully the community will now create the hacks for HTL. I will install this as first hack on my board when the gold version is out.

yeah, really great hack :D
but i will also wait for the gold version, then i will install this :)

How will major updates (i.e. 3.0 to 3.1) affect HTL?

hello i just upgraded from 3.0 gamma to rc4 and with the upgrade lost the admin cp functions when i tried to reinstall the htl hack at step 2 of 5 there is no button to continue with the install.
up till then everything is fine.

Installed and working perfectly on RC4, thanks! :)

What will happen to this hack itself whenever we upgrade to final releases of VB3? ;)

(sorry if this has been answered before, 18 pages is already a lot ;))

I installed it, and everything went ok. I edited the files and everything... now I get a database error. I am still waiting for the email giving me all the details. But if you could get me started at places I should check for errors, that would be great.

I made sure i followed the instructions exactly!

Thanks for your help

[EDIT]I am running the latest version of vB (RC4)[/EDIT]

drews: what error(s) are you getting?

Areku: once you upgrade your vB3, to have the HTL work again you only have to re-apply the few file modifications. IF you have the HTL installed already, you can use the HTL's built-in feature to LIST ALL MODIFICATIONS -> this shows all file edits needed for all of your installed (HTL-) hacks. Including the HTL itself. So before you upgrade your vB3, open that page in a separate tab or browser window, and then do the upgrade.
Also, see the very first post in this thread, it has a link to a tutorial on how to easily upgrade your vB3 using the HTL.

stand68: check to see if your database table `language` has this column: phrasegroup_hacklog - if so, delete it. Then also delete, on the phrasetype table, the row where fieldname='hacklog' (IF it exists). Then try again.

YogiTW: the HTL is mostly forwards compatible, so unless a new vB3 version has some major changes in where functions are or what the (existing) functions do, the HTL will work right away with upcoming releases of vB3 (like 3.1). It will only require you to re-apply the file changes.

Kicks a$$, thanks!

Hmm, that's interesting... all of a sudden it seems to work, no errors no nothing.

I am about to try and install another hack, so I will let you know if I have any problems.

Ok :)

i deleted the column phrasetype_hacklog now when i go to my site i get this error at the forum.
it now seems my forum is mirrored ??? if you go to my forum site everything looks like it was flipped.
if i try to log in to my admin area it just keeps sending me to the loggin screen over and over.
ialso at the top of my site i get this arror every now and them

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /www/s/stan68/htdocs/forum/includes/sessions.php on line 262

Thanks for the awesome hack KuraFire!!! :D

What a great hack KuraFire, thanks :)

Sorry if this question was there befor, but I was wondering, if it's possible to import two differnet phrases XML or more to my multi lang forum at ONE time.

I don't know if this can be done, but if there was like two new fields, or maybe more, for multi Phrases XML files importing, and next or infront of each field, another field for inputing the "charset" for each aditional language you've got in your forums you want to import phrases to based on the HTML Character Set you got in the the General Settings of your other languages.

and based on the charest you input to the other XML file, it will be imported to it.

Take a look at the attached image.

I must say this hack rocks, hopefully it'll make installing hacks that much easier. ;)

[high]* SmasherMaster clicks install[/high]

i accidently semi-uninstalled HTL

when i go back through the install setup, it freezes on step 2.


has no button to advance to step 3. gives no errors, etc.

any ideas on how to fix this?

anyone....?

I have a small problem
I installed HTL, but to menu appeared in ACP
The only hack that was istalled before htl is the Arcade... Is there a way to add the menu manually?

OK, I've installed this hack and it really looks awesome.

THE ONLY hack i already had working on RC4 was vbadvanced homepage hack...

How do I make it HTL compatible so next time I upgrade VB to RCx or final, HTL will remain and vbadvanced won't be removed neither?

Is that possible?

Thanks Kura!
