I'm having tons of problems with this mod, unfortunately

First off: check out the first screenshot - it has messed up my own custom user fields.

Any idea on why it does this and how I can fix it?

I am a little confused...
Can anyone clarify the following before i attempt to install this hack?

What files do i need to download? There are 3 files currently listed,
VB Weather
Cron Task
New DB
Will i need to download each one or are the latter two addons?

What is the FORUMHOME template update install info? Is that something else i must do as well as download the above file/s or is this for people who downloaded an earlier version.

Finally.. what is the I/O File system and how do i find out if i have permission to it?

Sorry about so many questions.. i just find the original thread a little confusing.

Any help appreciated.

The "VB Weather" file is the basic hack. You need to download this file. The "New DB" file is for those people who get timeout errors when adding the db changes. This file does it in smaller pieces so it can be done easier. The "Cron Task" file is what you need to run the cron tasks this hack needs.

The FORUMHOME template is what is used to show what appears on the main page of your forum. The FORUMHOME link (which is also in the first post of this thread) is the modification you need to do (after you have installed the hack) to get a weather display to appear on the main page of your forum.

Any other questions?

Yep I got a question. It's quoted

Thanks for the help bitg,

Just a couple of other questions...

You say the cron task is for running the cron tasks needed for this hack. I am a bit of a newbee, although i have installed several hacks for my forums already. What exactly are cron tasks and would i have to download the cron task file as well as the weather file or is this for advanced users.

My other question is what is the I/O File system and how do i find out if i have permission to it?

Thats it.

Cron tasks are commands that are run automatically are specific times. In your vbb ACP you have a section for scheduling. You would setup a cron task in there.

Yeah - you need to carefully read the instructions first - it coveres off on the fact that you need to have stock VB to install this without altering the settings of the field# numbers in many places throughout the hack.

To fix it you need to make sure your weather files and edits refer to the range of Custom Profile fields inserted by the weather hack ONLY.

HTH

Hmm.

Step 8 - In USERCP_SHELL add this code right blow the header tag.

I don't think this is correct..leaving out the fact that it should be 'below', the only 'header tag' is $header. Surely that should read 'below the $headinclude tag' or '<head> tag' .. or 'inside your header'.

This is one the best hack that I have seen. Too bad I have to uninstall this hack because I couldn't make it work. In addition I don't think we will ever get any support from the author

Thanks for the warning.

I have removed the mod now.
