I have this problem after trying to reinstall. I removed the following from the XML

$db->query($sql);]]></installcode>
<uninstallcode />
</code>
<code version="1.0.3">
<installcode><![CDATA[$sql = "ALTER TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."toplist_sites` ADD `status` VARCHAR( 20 ) DEFAULT 'active' NOT NULL AFTER `out`;";

A am still getting an error

Also in the installation instructions there is:

2. CHMOD 777 images/toplist/buttons/sites.

There is no folder SITES within buttons. Does this folder need to be created?
Thanks in advance

[derekivey]

Yes create the folder if it isn't there. Also whats the error you are getting?

[Beller]

I think I got it sorted...I kept deleting the querys from the xml till it installed ok..
Seems to be working fine now..
Thanks

[derekivey]

Ok, good. Let me know if you have anymore problems.

Thanks,
Derek

[Beller]
