Hi Teddy. I did what you said. I removed the old installation with your Uninstall-Script. And than i installed your last version of viportfolio.
But the installation gets a error on step 5 (look at the Screenshot)
and ends totaly on step 6 with your inwindow. Is this correct.
I did nothing else. I want to let you this know, and now i wait for you instructions.... :D

Yeah, I got that same warning. I just clicked on the "Click here to finish your install" and it was fine. Had no problems

Yeah, this is the only problem I have with this hack.

Question: what exactly must after this prozess be done to compled the installation? Because i looked in my AdminCP and there still no viPortfolio-Settings.
So please Teddy @ Post 81, what must i do after this??

same, i see no options in the admincp after install (done by hand) with the newest zip

Read this post and bout 2 more posts down, this will tell you what you need to do to get it to work. The installer didnt seem to do this. I had to do this manually.

Man, guys goes for a cup of coffee and the whole place turns upside down :paranoid:


The error message that was in your screen shot that people are getting on the install unfortunately is extremely generic. There are some simple manual steps to get thru the control panel install though.

1. execute '
select * from settinggroup;
'

2. look at the output to make sure there is a 'viPortfolio Settings'. If there is, remember the displayorder and the settinggroupid. If there is not than execute the following:
insert into setting ( title ) values ( 'viPortfolio Settings' );
then start again from step one.

3. execute
select settinggroupid, title from setting order by settinggroupid, title;

You will see over 500 rows scroll by, you are only concerned with the last 10. If the settinggroupid is = 65354 then do the following update
update setting
set settinggroupid = {the settinggroupid from above}
where settinggroupid = 65354;
4. If your last 10 records do not say either 65354 or the settinggroupid you remebered from before than your settings have not been installed. You have to execute the SQL from within the file viPortfolio/database/install_settings.sql. Only run this once as it will add multiple entries. If you had to run install_settings.sql than return to step 3 otherwise go to step 5

5. Once you are sure that you have 10 settings, the first one should be 'Allowed Image Mime Types' than move on to the final steps

6. execute "select max(displayorder) from settinggroup" and remember the results.

7 execute "update settinggroup set displayorder={above displayorder plus one} where title like 'viPortfolio%'


You have completed the control panel options section.
I hope these instructions aren't too bad. :) Any helpfull critisizm on my manual direction giving would be helpfull also. As we have noticed, the instructions were half of the bugs. :(

Is everybody up and running? Is there any outstanding issues other than fixing the installer?

:fingers crossed:

Hello Teddy!!
