MODS.DB9.DK

[Niels]

This MOD add permission to "special pages"
e.g. index.php page.

if the installation of this MOD fail, you may end up in a situation where your index is invisible to you.

main reasoon to failing correct installation:

1. This mod can't work with category heracy mod

2. you must run the included db_update fileS (2) BEFORE MOD the files

3. the order you run these files in are important.
first run extra_perm_db_update.php
then run add_perm_db_update.php

4. do NOT run remove_perm_db_update.php, as this is a undo file

after the installation of this MOD, you should not see any visible change to your forum.
how-ever inside ACP -> forum permission
you may now find that there are displayed 2 new "forums"

"INDEX PAGE"
"MEMBERLIST"

if you look the permission up for one of these forums, you may control how may see/use these pages.
e.g. you may set up memberlist only to show for reg users like this
auth_view=REG, auth_read=REG

or make your index closed for unregisterd users
auth_view=REG, auth_read=REG

you may ofcouse use the permission control per usergroups, same way as when setting this for a "normal" forum

You've diagnosed my problem exactly. I did not run the php files before installing the mod. I ran them after Easy Mod installed the code modifications. To complicate things further, in between these two mistakes, my hard-drive crashed with my back ups. When I finally ran the php files, I received errors instead of good things. Meanwhile, the mod had been updated to version 1.01 I also tried, in desparation, to install the newer version of the mod, with the same results.

What now?

I removed the new code from index and memberlist, so users can now see & use the board, however, I need to fix the mistake I made and get the mod installed. I'm hesitant to mess with my database without knowing what I'm doing. Can the php files be reversed (somehow... I don't know how to do this) and the code modifications be removed so that I can start over? I would like to have the extra permissions as well as the shoutbox, which was my original goal, but I'm not sure about the php changes.

Since the new version of shoutbox (ver 1.1.0), does no longer require extra permission, I asume you would like to un-install this mod
(unless you need it for other purpose than shoutbox)

To un-install the mod, you simply have to do the MOD in reverse - open the how-to txt file found in the zip.
and un do all the steps described.

most importent places to remove the code are
index.php
memberlist.php
page_header.php
overall_herader.tpl

it shoulden't matter if you roll back the changes done into the other files, as these wil do no harm - choise is yours.

if you succesfully ruin the add_perm_db_update.php you may also undo the DB change by runing the included remove_perm_db_update.php file.

About you having difficult with your phpbb files in general, you can at anytime replace one or more of the files by "original" phpbb2 files found at www.phpbb.com, this will however remove any MOD's you have installed in to the file(s) - so you might have to redo these again.
(btw. EM does make backup files, so you manually can roll back)

I Still don't understand it.
I am a Dutch guy so my English isn't very well.
Here's my problem
After installing this mod i have a white Index page.
After that i've checked my permissions @ User Admin.
I've gave all the users the permission to go to the Index, but it still doesn't work
I hope you can understand what I'm saying....
