Hello Shape5 community,

I was running phpbb 3.0.8 and then I installed the Political theme. (forum.pirate.is). It looked/s like crap. Nowhere did I see a requirement to install the Site Shaper manually, so I did that a few hours later. I followed the steps, step-by-step very carefully. Then my live forum got a SQL error. The SQL query was run successfully so I don't know why or where it messed up. So fine, I have backups, and a little downtime won't kill anyone. But then I ran into more problems.

I loaded up the full Political package with the Site Shaper included (3.0.7). I immediately updated to 3.0.8, no problem. But then I tried to restore my forum. It didn't take effect. I figured out that I just had to change the database prefix's in the backup sql file to the new database prefix. So I restored and the content of my forum and it's users came back, but so did the ugly pre-site-shaper style. so now i'm stuck.

I can install everything fresh again and it will look great (=no users, no content). or I can restore and have SQL errors (= no forum).

So is it feasible to hack my backup file so that it doesn't affect any of the changes made by the political theme and site shaper?

Thank you.

Hi Dave,

Right now it's as good as it's going to get without redoing it completely again. None of the original mods are installed, even though my restore file has the back-end thinking that there are mods because of the mysql entires.

I am waiting to do any large developments until I have the Political theme installed and completely functional. Everything is going to be developed around multi-lingual support.

Let me know if that answers your question. Thank you.

Chris

vertex_framwork_2_0_0.zip

sitename.com/install/

-------------------------------------------------
During the installation I received these errors:

Yes thats normal you must install the second package that completes it and allows you to use vertex

The errors appear because the first package is autoMOD + Vertex if you have autoMOD install you will get those errors Smiley

You install the second package using autoMOD by the way

I did upload it using AutoMOD, but when I tried to install it I received these errors:

On this page, it asked if I wanted to retry or Force Install, and since this is a test forum, I tried Force install. When I do that, it brings be back to an /install/ page to configure the Vertex framework, but it shows two instances of the install on the same page.

So now just to test, I activated it: http://forum.pirate.is/forumtest2/ ... and something is clearly wrong.

Things are a little better. http://forum.pirate.is/forumtest3/
I started from scratch (restoring my forum, too), and I still get one error when installing the Mod

Code:
Error:Table 'FORUMTEST3.bb_config' doesn't exist
INSERT INTO bb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES('political_s5_backimage', '', 0)

As you can see, the forum still won't work with the displayed error:
Code:
File missing./styles/S5_Political/s5_data/menu_style.php

Just a note, when I go ahead and force install the mod, it asked me to return to an /install/ page to reconfigure the vertex framework. and when i first go to the page it shows two instances of the install. when i click on the top one to submit the configure, the second one disappears, but nothing else displays to say that it completed.

additionally, when i go back to the ACP and click on the Vertex tab, all it shows is an empty blue box with a blue button saying: Create New Block, and that's all is on the page.
