Newbie here....And I think it's an operator error... :-)

When trying to install the first tim I get this error "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/hcmcstan/public_html/forums/admincp/helpdesk_install.php on line 66"

Here's the code that's complaining...
$DB_site->query("REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '0', '" . $varname . "', '" . addslashes($text) ."', '$phrasetype')");

Help please!!!!

Thanks.

I get this

print_standard_error(...)
is now redundant. Instead, use
standard_error(fetch_error(...))

Looks like this is not working for 3.6.8?

This modification definitely needs a revival!

I cannot believe that no one was done something with this for 3.6
It is definately one of the better support systems.

I've decided I'll be upgrading this for 3.7 once I finish some of my other work. Do not get your hopes up about it being anytime this week or that soon. I will do this relatively soon though. I've just got to finish upgrading my software (http://www.humorsoftware.com/) and then I'll be releasing it.
