Fix the errors or remove the mod!

Why are you thinking that there is anything to fix? What are error messages? "MySQL has gone away"? - there is nothing to fix - you have to configure your mysql appropriately.

Mod is fully functional and I do not have to removing anything. But you can just do not use it if you do not like it.

Also I suggest to just ask what it is about instead of screaming "fix the errors" without even talking what errors and without even knowing that it is vBET error or not. What is your purpose here?

I got spammed to my email with over 100 emails in one night about some vb translator error.

Here is the full error ( I am pretty sure that ALL the emails had the same error reported)

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.2:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT cache.originaltext as originaltext, cache.translated as translated FROM vbenterprisetranslator_cache_medium help, vbenterprisetranslator_cache_medium cache WHERE help.originaltext='This+is+a+discussion+forum+powe red+by+vBulletin.+To+find+out+about+vBulletin%2C+g o+to+http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vbulletin.com%2F+.'

The spamming stopped now, I didn't even do anything, but before that one night, I got every night some emails about some errors, also that had to do with vb enterprise translator.

I still get errors sometimes.

This is not a bug at all. This is just your mySQL configuration issue. Please note that first translation time depends not on vBET but on Google and in your case sometimes before you got answer you mysql connection was already timed out.

Now you have less of those messages because most translations are cached by vBET so you get those immediately and also produce less traffic to Google, so get faster response from there in case if something is not cached yet.

Still you have to just configure your mysql timeouts to higher value to eliminate or minimalize this issue. This is also official vBulletin team answer for that issue - it is not on our side - it is your server configuration.

Please see here for details about "MySQL server has gone away" issue:

Hope that helps - in case of any question please just ask - I will gladly help you

Tagged. Have to evaluate if it would be useful for my forum as we have a fair bit of medical terms in the conversation.

Installed and working great cheers:-

The only way I could get it to work was to put my forum URL in where it says "Forum Directory" even though my forum is linked to my domain. After putting the forum URL in everything worked perfectly..........THANKS !!!!

Anyone have any idea why I'm getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function iconv() in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forum/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions.php on line 246

my forum is in http://forum.russbo.com Main site is www.russbo.com

Had it working on my previous site with no problem, not sure how the subdomain thing is messing this up.


EDIT: I"m missing ICONV in my php. I think that's the problem. I'll get it fixed... Sorry to bother.

EDIT AGAIN: Installed ICONV. Fixed. Works like a charm! Awesome work NLP.
