Nu Torrent Tracker 0.74 · **Released**: 06-06-2005

Finally, my bittorrent tracker for vBulletin has reached a somewhat betaish level. Meaning, it functions but some things are still missing like AdminCP Category Editing and so on. But only a few. All needed things are there and it works well as I've been running it on my board for a month now.

I decided to write this thing after firsthand witnessing the problems with VBTT and what was first meant to be quite simple turned out into a full fledged tracker with features like commenting, rating, etc.

Note that this is a beta which means it has only been tested on one system AND I won't be responsible if you go blind from the messy code. But hey, it works! :nervous:

I don't have any screenshots but you are welcome to come and check out the live demo at: http://www.tokyo-nights.com/nutt
Heck, I'll even throw in a test user for ya:

Code:

user: kjustice
pass: useme

I'll prolly be updating the distro as I find and fix bugs. When the instructions say so or if you wish to, you can uninstall it by going to /forum/admincp/nutt_install.php?step=uninstall

0.74 - Made upload use vB's new thread function to fix the nasty apostrophe issue in 0.73
Changed:
upload.php

0.73 - Improved conditions for users the tracker reports as 'unconnectable'.
Changed:
announce.php

0.72 - Added a function to fix the navbar urls.
Changed:
functions.php
nutt_global.php

0.71 - Fixed a bug in details.php.
Changed:
details.php

Can i suggest 2 things :

and

2. A better explanation in the install manual as to where the NUTT settings are - i checked the left side of the panel for ages and nothing there , i eventually went to VB Options and it was there at the bottom - once configured , it all worked ok (not that ive fully tested it yet)

Thanks for this by the way .. could be pretty cool if it all works well

i already uninstalled and did a fresh install always with the same error so i still need help on the last error.

thanks anyway dj

Cant help you much there im afraid , sorry buddy

Im wondering , is it hard to change the catagories in this ? Do i have to go into the SQL and do it that way ? or is there a simpler way ?

I went into my sql the first time, but for testing I edited the installation script to reflect what I use.

i realized on this new install that im doing that it usually hangs here

Code:

Importing Templates For NuTT: Default Style, Please Wait...

how long should that take

DjTaz · #**156** 07-09-2005, 11:49 PM

sketch - that worked straight away for me , but i only have the default template

Id also like to say that everything seems to work well , but you defo need to be able to use all trackers and not limit it to just the one tracker.

And i havent played about with it enuf yet , but im wondering if the forum is made to be closed so it cant be seen on the actual forum , can the posts be seen in the tracker ? I want to make it look like the tracker is a whole seperate section of my site apart from the forums , but i dont think i can do that if the tracker is seen on both the forums and the main tracker section ?
Might be an option in the next version.

I changed the catagories in the sql and all seems great now

like i said im working on a plain board, no hacks no mods no templates nothing a clean install of vb which is why this so much more perplexing... and i cant understand why noone has answered, aside from you of course, with any suggestions.

i would think ... double check all the instructions once more - write them down as u do them and tick them as u check them ... and make sure its all working ok - is it a windows or linux server , what version of PHP u using ? and have u got all of the settings correct and everything uploaded ?

I just found a small bug in the scripting .. where it says rows on the index page ... for the torrent types ... if you type in 3 , after the first 3 it drops to the next row , but after that it keeps going on the same row... just another tiny edit for the next version.

thats the thing i checked double checked.. heck i even wiped out my board and datbase and re-edited all my files and followed everything to the letter thats why im at a loss.. i keep getting the original error i posted now..

i eel like demolishing this computer , all i want to know is where the error is comming from.. i even called my host and they say they cant find any errors in what i did, but that they dont see any files that are trying to connect to the database.
im about to give up.

Sketch - if its a brand new forum , do u want me to take a look at it ? I may not be able to fix everything , but a fresh pair of eyes can help sometimes.
