Hello i try to run the FIRST query

INSERT INTO settinggroup VALUES (40, 'Staff Messaging System', 40);

but i got this error:

Error

SQL-query :  

INSERT INTO settinggroup
VALUES ( 40, 'Staff Messaging System', 40 ) 

MySQL said: 


Duplicate entry '40' for key 1
Back

Any idea why this is happening to my db?

Probably you have already a settinggroup with id 40 in your database.

Hi Mist

One way install without any problems. Piece of Cake man


Request:

Can you make the title also selectable in the admin, then I can use it also for announcements to my users.


Great hack, install is clicked

Change the 40 to 60 or something like that (both instances of 40 in the query)

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Should be nice to have an extra input field in the acp where you can give the Title (Message to all Staff or any other text.

By this way I can also make announcements to other usergroups with different titles.


It's just a questsion, don't feel pressed


Cheers
