Hello i try to run the FIRST query

INSERT INTO settinggroup VALUES (40, 'Staff Messaging System', 40);

but i got this error:

Code:

Error



SQL-query :  



INSERT INTO settinggroup

VALUES ( 40, 'Staff Messaging System', 40 ) 



MySQL said: 





Duplicate entry '40' for key 1

Back

Any idea why this is happening to my db?
Thanks

Probably you have already a settinggroup with id 40 in your database.

Hi Mist

One way install without any problems. Piece of Cake man :D

Request:

Can you make the title also selectable in the admin, then I can use it also for announcements to my users.

Great hack, install is clicked

Change the 40 to 60 or something like that (both instances of 40 in the query) :)

Should be nice to have an extra input field in the acp where you can give the Title (Message to all Staff:) or any other text.

By this way I can also make announcements to other usergroups with different titles.

It's just a questsion, don't feel pressed :D

Oh that won't be hard

- adds to to-do list :)

LOTR	03-26-2003 05:18 AM

Thanks Mist :)

how about the other queries in the installation file as below:

Code:

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,40,'Display Staff Messages','displaystaffmessages','1','Do you wish the message to be displayed to all staff to be displayed on all pages?','yesno','1');

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,40,'Staff Usergroups','staffusergroups','5,6,7','Enter the usergroup id\'s of your staff in here. (Seperate with commas WITH NO SPACES!)','','2');

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,40,'Message','themessage','','Here you put the message that you want to be displayed on all pages to your staff.<br>(You may use html as as &lt;br&gt tags are needed to go to a new line','textarea','3');

Do i have to changes those too? let say i chose to change to 80.
thanx.. ;)

The hack seems to work right but I have one problem. Does anyone know how I get the header to not show if there is no message?

Please try not to attach bmp's as they're such high quality that they take us 56k'ers an age to download :p

Any chance you could attach it as a gif of jpg?

Thanks
