phpBB help (those in the know, you know who you are)

I help admin/run a message board located at www.dracomega.net/forums/ we put up a phpBB forum, and the other admin tried to install a mod. The backup he used only helped a little, but we're still getting error messages. EVERY error message involves a folder which the mod is lookinf for, but we do not have. Short of going thru every line of code and fixing, anyone got an idea?

PM, reply posts, and credit cards accepted!

(edit: I put up the mainpage link, not the board, with the mainpage being a dead end link)

Search the forum files for the folder info and work out what it's trying to do—get a decent text editor ( eg www.notetab.com ) and it'll take you a minute or two. Either search on disk or open the files and search all documents.

okay, I got that all cleaned up... any takers on this one I get after installing a mod:

There's a critical error installing the category mod.

In file [viewtopic.php] could not find:

'U_POST_ID' => $postrow[$i]['post_id'])
);
}

MOD script line #3389

Are you trying to use some kind of automated mod installer? If so, chances are the install script is clashing with earlier modifications. Don't try to make changes to the default files if you don't understand what the code being added does—it'll bite you when you come to upgrade files with security fixes.

Alright, after talking this over with the other admin, we've decided that until one or both of us learns enough of the php and MySQL to handle these ourselveswe want somone to install this big mod we need so we can open publicly.

Duties include:

installing 1 large forum mod

fixing any coding errors in previous mods so that they work together

If you have the time and expertise to do these things. We hav elink to all the materials you'll need once you contact us here in this thread.
