When I tried to load in the HTL version, I got a database error...

I went to "Install Hack" via the HTL, and chose the "Auto-Populate Navbar popup menu [for Erwin's Flash Player]" from the list. Then I hit the confirm button, and it wasn't happy. Any ideas?

Code:

Well the error is referring to the hacklog table, saying

Code:

mysql error: Unknown column 'changetype' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

so I'll take this up to KuraFire ...

Q: had you removed all alterations from your manual install ?

[and can you edit your post to use {php} or {code} tags - that would make sure this entry full of hack-modifications is displayed properly ...]

Very strange... does your table `hacklog` on your database have the column 'changetype' ??

Actually, now that I look at it I'm somewhat concerned...

the query says to insert these file/template modifications to hackid=1, but that one is reserved for the HTL itself...

*so confused*

*so scared that he had a major f*ckup in his script* :'(((

CdaKnight · #16 01-27-2004, 09:06 PM

I don't have that column, although now I'm guessing I should... I used the installer... Is it possible to just drop 'hack' and 'hacklog' and run the installer to add them again (I'm assuming I wouldn't need the phrases, etc. again [including the file changes])

Kura, if you'd like to access my admincp, or need a copy of the files, please let me know what you need and I'll PM it to you.

And I could have sworn I installed the upgrade... and I'll check again and make sure I did it correctly. I'm normally not this incompetent with this stuff...

Oh, and PS: I never had a manual install. I chose to wait due to time constraints, and was very happy when you release the HTL version, saving me time.

It would only insert to hackid 1 if the HTL wasn't properly installed isn't that rite Kura ?

What you can do to solve this is this:

1) make sure you have the Hack_Tracking_Log.htl file in your htlfiles/ directory;
2) go to Manage Hacks -> Edit Hack Details for the Hack Tracking Log entry;
3) disable all steps for the Install Routine except Run Queries;
4) Save. Now go to Run Install Sequence (it's in the drop-down Controls menu) for the Hack Tracking Log;
5) Choose to run a Real Install, and click Proceed (or Continue?). You will now only encounter the Run Queries step. It will perform that step, which will clear out your hack and hacklog tables entirely!.
6) You will now have an empty HTL installation, which is baaaaad.

So, we fix! Go to install hack, and choose the Hack Tracking Log that is listed there. Choose Import to Db only ! Hit proceed.
7) The HTL will now be imported to your system, but it will not appear as properly installed, but as Imported-only. To fix that, run this query on your database (manually):

UPDATE hack SET atstep=-1 WHERE hackid=1;

add a table prefix in front of "hack" if you have one.

Then your HTL installation should be fully operational again, and have the column changetype.
If not, your .htl file is corrupted somehow, outdated-beyond-all-outdatedness.

Natch: pretty much, yeah...

I think I've done something horribly wrong. So I just dropped the hack log tables, redownloaded everything, and reinstalled. Works like a bute.

However, I have two problems with this actual hack now. :\

1) The phrase you specify in your instructions is different that the one inserted into the phrase database.
2) The Javascript menu isn't coming up. I get the little arrow, however the title "Flash", and the titles of all the games come on top of my welcome DIV.

The phrases don't match up ?

If this is the case, then that would explain why your menu title ain't workin'

What is the phrase title that is being inserted ?

CdaKnight · #21 01-28-2004, 02:45 AM

It was just "flash_title" instead of "flash_addon_title". I was simply alerting you so that it can be remedied. I changed the phrase to match the one inserted by the install in the template, however the menu itself is not being created via the javascript.

Lemme post a screen of what's happening.
