Add a database install table script, for people who can not run
the single sql file (FOUND IN STEP 7). It is very easy to use!


Have a great day....

In the instructions it says:

"If your setup uses a table_prefix then use the script that is included to add the
prefix name to the forecast table name"

Where do I look to see if my DB has a table_prefix and if it does not, do I need to run the sql file?

[The Realist]

I ran the SQL file and received this error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
CREATE TABLE forecast (id int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment

Im now stuck at stage No7

It says:

If your setup uses a table_prefix then use the script that is included to add the
prefix name to the forecast table name. To run the change.php script, place the
forecast.sql file and the change.php script in your main vbulletin directory (./)
then run the script from your browser. When it is finished it will update the
forecast.sql file to match your system settings! After this install the forecast
database into your main forum database!

Can someone explain this in English please.

Hi The Realist

To find out if your using a prefix, go to ./includes/config.php, and find the variable...

$tableprefix = '';

If this has a value, then you need to run the 'change.php' script to add the prefix!


As for your MySql Error, something is not being escaped somewhere....

Tell me the following....

1. Are you using a prefix?

2. How are you trying to install the weather table (command line, phpMyAdmin, other) ?


If you can not get the SQL file to load, create the table manual, then I will give you a script to loop the file and do the inserts that way! I have tested this SQL file, on 8 different systems Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac and I can not reproduce your error.

Note you can not load this from the VB admin panel it will not work! I will help you, but answer my questions so I can!

I checked the test site but did not see any weather conditions on the main forum page even though it's checked in the user cp

Is that a bug or just an oversite on adding it to the forum home page?

Yea, that too is my question.

Once that question is answered I'm gonna install. It's very cool! .

It is in the User CP. The link is at the bottom on the left.

I saw that but it gives a choice to show it on the forum home page. Where exactly does it show it?

[nineball]

I has already added a custom field so my field numbers are different.

I changed the array and the update statement and it does update the correct field, however the location on the user cp does not display.

Is there any other place I need to change to use a field other than field9 for the location field

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' )
{
$new_forecast = forecast_valid ( $bbuserinfo[field19], $bbuserinfo[field20], $bbuserinfo[field21], $bbuserinfo[field22], $bbuserinfo[field23] );
$new_forecast = fetch_forecast ( $new_forecast, 1 );
$customfields = array ();
fetch_profilefields(1);
$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['weather_title'];
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )
{
if ( !empty ( $_POST['location'] ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET field23=" . addslashes( $_POST['location'] ) . " WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" );
$GLOBALS['url'] = 'profile.php?do=weather';
eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );
}
else

[Merjawy]

Right on the demo site it won't show on form home what you selected and thats because its not keeping your selection if you notice..

maybe cuz that is a demo as he said

[kall]

*nods*

The concept is excellent, but the install is a bit of a killer, mainly for those people who already have custom fields installed.



I have installed it, but the Location Field is a single-line text box...with no hints as to what the code to put in it is.

[gmarik]

Looks just fine!
