Oh sorry. I thought when you uninstalled 2.1 it reverted back to 2.0.1. Does it uninstall it completely?

groovesalad · #**813** 10-25-2002, 02:37 AM

I get this with a fresh install

Ok, went in and dropped the canviewbvindex. Did a fresh install. Said everything went fine, but the templates weren't added and I still get that Parse error. HMmmmm. I have no idea what to try next.

groovesalad · #**815** 10-25-2002, 02:41 AM

It says this "Adding Templates...Done!"...but it doesn't ever actually do it.

LightBringer · #**816** 10-25-2002, 02:47 AM

It DOES add the templates hehe.

However...those templates do not fall under the proper category (Maybe NTLDR can address this)

The fix for this is to run the vbi_install.php again and choose to reinstall the templates option ONLY.

groovesalad · #**817** 10-25-2002, 02:56 AM

You're right. It did add those templates. Still getting the error. Should I have something in my phpinclude template?

groovesalad · #**818** 10-25-2002, 03:21 AM

Ok, I played around with it until my brain started hurting. Here's what I've got so far

http://groove-salad.com/forum/vbindex.php

I set the forumid's correctly in ACP, but the threads don't show up. I even ran setpostid.php and nothing. Any ideas?

Double check and make sure you've got the right forumid listed for news.

If you look here you'll see additional instructions that NTLDR posted after the release.

I'm not sure if the setpostid.php file in the original attachment is the working version Groovesalad.
You can also try this one:

It should add all the templates as far as I know, how do you mean they don't fall under the correct catagory?

You are correct in saying that post-install.txt doesn't exist, I am working on this now with full instructions of the changes that need to be made than can't be done automaticlly.

If you can let me know about the installer issue then that would be great, I want to release v2.1 Final today.

When you choose uninstall then all the vBindex templates and DB settings are deleted, it doesn't revert you back to v2.0.1.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
