The earlier bug fix caused a new bug to arise. Yes, you may smack me with the cluebat. I f00ked up in my bugfix. *slaps self*
Anyhoo, to patch your install, just overwrite your admincp/hackadmin.php with the new version found in the NEW ZIPFILE, attached below.
I've improved the entire

Former update: Monday, January 26 (2:42 PM CET)
BUG FOUND! A minor, harmless bug was found in the Make vB.org Post section of /admincp/hackadmin.php - to upgrade, re-download the zipfile (clear your cache first!) and overwrite hackadmin.php on your server with the new one. If you haven't yet installed the HTL, make sure to get the latest download and you should be fine. Thanks Rein for the report ^_^

...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,

...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).

???

...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?

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... :/

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(

		'uninstall' => $vbphrase['htl_uninstall_hack'],

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.
