The auto-installer must've left out the phrases, because the entire admin CP section of it is phraseless. (even in the navigation window)

I just checked the installer and its installing the phrases, database changes and settings correctly. Make sure you re-upload all the files and in the instructions there has been a change in the link that you needed to edit in the /admincp/index.php page. Edit your to reflect and I bet you get it to work.

Nope, the phrases just aren't there. I ran the installer again, and still no dice. Everything else is ok though.

What phrases are added by it? I could do it manually if neccessary...

Did you edit the link in the admincp/index.php file?? You really need to do this...It is different than what it was originally. Then perform a seach in phrases for all phases that contain "referrals" - let me know

Hi Gspot.
i finally did the upgrade to the new version.

Im having 2 small issues...

1. Can't see "referaal Statistics' option in admin panel. Its there... but hidden. See attached pic.

2. I do not get the full text on the configuration settings.!! what cud be missing? the phrases? how can I ad those?


3. what does RESET REFFERAL do now in the new version??? the option in admin panel under USERS. it open a BLANK page when i click on it. does it needs to be removed?


overall, :up:

[gspot]

viks - the "Reset Referral" needs to be removed, the $vbphrase for that line in /admincp/index.php was changed from $vbphrase['reset_referrals'] to $vbphrase['get_referrals'] that was the only change to this file.

I will add the manual addition of the phrases tonight to the zip file, so please re-download if you are having issues with the auto-installer.

[gspot]

who ever is having problems installing phrases - please re-download the zip file and upload the new auto-installer. Let me know if you still have problems...

[Viks]

I have upgraded again using the auto-installer.
This time around I see that 26 phrases have been added however the issue remains the same.

1. I have removed "reset referrals" as u suggested but "Referral Statistics" option un Admin Panel remain hidden (as per my pic above).

2. I still do not see any text in the right frame after seletcing "referral Statistics". (as my my second pic above).

:ermm: - any suggestions

[Megareus Rex]

:ermm: That fixed it for me, gspot!

Edit: I keep getting this error on referrals.php

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /referrals.php on line 18

I have it chmod to 777, and set the path correct in the admin CP, but I still get it...

Goto Admin CP -> Users -> Referral Statistics
click configure refferal statistics

and then put the path to your referral.php here

mine is like this -
/hsphere/local/home/myname/mywebsite.com/forums

once u have the path OK u wont get the error message.

Thanks Viks, I was able to get it to work! (Actually, you just reminded me that another hack I had possessed the correct path to my vB forum, so I just copy/pasted :P)

For all of you that had problems installing the new phrases prior to 1/27/05 on "referral statistics Version 2.1" please download this file and upload it to your /admincp directory. Follow the instructions and then remove this file from your server.

** Please note: only run this file if you have already ran the auto installer and your phrases were not added **

The auto installer was fixed at 6:22pm pacific standard time on 1/27/05

Everthing is working perfectly.

Thanks Gspot.

good stuff and good support.

[gspot]

Everyone - There were some errors in some of the scripts on the new release. Please re-download the zip file and re-upload all the files. If you have already upgraded to this version, please just re-upload the new files to your server. You DONT need to run the install or upgrade script if you are already up-to-date.

THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST FIX FOR VERSION 2.1

FIXED 1/27/04 - 6:30PM PST.
