[Helter]

I have edited your title. I know many of our members are capable and willing to assist you with this. If you wish to make a financial transaction with whoever does this for you that is perfectly fine, but due to the nature of this site/project, we cannot allow posts offering money for help.
If your unable to get the help you need within a few days, post here again, and Ill assist you myself. Thx

[rpadilla]

Bump.

[Helter]

send me your ftp login info

[DjPorkchop]

I can also help if still needed. No charge. Activity mod is right up my alley. Me and the activity mod and the blog mod have went many a rounds on websites.

If you have any issues at all Helter, let me know and I can assist. <img>

And for the record, I have found CTracker does NOT like a few of the games and setings changed in the ACP. I tried to debug a few of the issues and never got it accomplished. I have since taken down my 1.4.1 site as it was no longer used.

[rpadilla]

I appreciate any help, Helter went in and installed the activity mod last night, now view topic is not working. No one is able to read anything, any ideas why? I went and put an earlier version of view_topic.php until I do a full backup of the site. If I go to activity.php it shows a page that says that db adjustments have not been done. I am waiting to finish the backup to execute it and see what happens.

[Helter]

view_topic.php displays the tophy for the activity mod record holder. If you have not completed the install in the acp, you will get errors because viewtopic.php is looking for db info that is not there yet

[rpadilla]

Well, I did ran that and added games but the view_topic.php that you added does not work. I think it has to do with the trophies because it can't display the trophy or hall of fame pages, I get a 500 error. Also trying to go to the seconde page when browsing games gives me a sql error. Should I restore the database from before I ran DB adjustments and run it again?

[rpadilla]

I fixed the next page error following Austin's site recommendations. I am not able to get almost anything to work, its all blank pages now, even the games. Now viex_topic.php does work. Add to all this that I still getting the 500 internal server errors, 1 and 1 says it has to do with permissions. I am almost at the point where I will forget about it, I had these games running on my old plain phpbb forum and they were a hit. Tood bad I lost everything when I switched to IM. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

[Helter]

it was working fine yesterday, including viewtopic. The only prob I had was submitting a high score and I thought it was prob becasue your site was so slow due to the massive amounts of animated gifs.
What have you done since then?

[rpadilla]

I added php.ini to folders trying to get rid of the 500 error. It happens with Hall of Fame, Trophies page and Top 5. Then after that I started getting white pages when trying to play a game. If you don't have enough points to play you get a warning page though...

[rpadilla]

OK I think it has to do with the points system. I added costs to all games and that started the white game pages. I reset them to free and I'm able to play. I would like the users to spend their points playing.

[DjPorkchop]

did you setup the cash properly? and there are a few extra settings in amod as well. I had the very same issue once upon a time. Ill reinstall activity mod on my site tonight to test it all out again.

AND there has been an issue with the view topic for a long time with activity mod. The instructions at founditforum.com had the answer to it in his KB walk through install for activity mod.

[rpadilla]

I thought I did, now I'm no so sure, all users lost their points (never thought people would get mad about losing them, I gave 25000 points to everyone to compensate) and if I activate the cash/ points option then no one can play games that require points. Also, clicking on a user's points will retunr error 404, page not found...

[DjPorkchop]

If you want, make a temp admin and I can help you. its as easy as 1 2 3 If you elect to do that just simply PM me some info. I might not be back on tonight, if not I will be tomarow for sure.

[rpadilla]

I just did that, thanks!

[DjPorkchop]

No Probs mate. <img> I found some other things as well that might interest you. I sent them via PM. Oh and I added another 184 games for you as well.

[rpadilla]

Thanks, I looked at it last night and looks great. I tried to check the points of a user and got to error 404, did not find pointscp.php. I think I need to add the points mod, the thing is that in the past members were able to look at points and donate to other users so I think that something got messed up.

[DjPorkchop]

yeah there was a couple more things that I needed to look at. I got tied up with a couple things last night and didnt get to log back into your site and have a look. Im going to try today and get there for sure.

[defiantwisdom]

Ray, looking around, you seem to be the resident expert when it comes the AMOD. I was wondering if you could help me out.

I installed it according to the directions (At least I think I did), but I got two critical errors. Once I backed up my old files, my site was back up and running and the AMOD+ Admin was in the ACP. It seems as if everything is working with the exception of the .:Configuration:. panel. It is completely empty ... As in there is nothing there but a blank page.

I am pretty sure that when I backed up some of my old files, it might have overwritten the files needed to operate the .:Configuration:. panel.

I don't want to do a complete uninstall, because it took me forever to get this far. Would you know which files I need to correct to get the .:Configuration:. panel to work?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

[b]EDIT] Add Game and Edit Game are blank as well.

[b]EDIT 2] It looks as if I might have gotten it to work. I am going through now and testing everything! (Knocks on Wood) <img>

[DjPorkchop]

Well, I dont lay claim to be an expert at amod. Infact, it is Foundit that gets the Kudos here. I use his walk through and only his. When you get the package from the amod site, do NOT attempt to use the install provided.

Visit http://www.founditforum.com and follow closely the instructions in the walk through. After that, THEN install. Soon, you will look like a pro too. <img> For the record I am not affiliated with foundit forum what so ever besides a normal user. I just plug his site because simply enough, it works. After all these years of installing, I still use that walk through every single time.

BUT I can help if you cant get it strait. Hope it goes well. Cheers! Oh and by the way, any time you install a Mod for Integramod, all files that go to admin, MUST go to the admin/modules folder as well or it will not function properly.

And rpadilla I WILl be back on yours today. My apologies for the last couple days. Im right in the middle of putting together a new site of my own as well. So I'm trying to split the difference time wise.

[Lycanth]

Sorry to drag an old topic out of its dusty corner, but just wondering about getting this installed on my site? And Ray, since you already know the inner workings of my site intimately, perhaps you could give advice as to whether it's doable? Thanks in advance!

[DjPorkchop]

yes it's very doable. I would have no problem at all installing it for you. I'll give you a quick PM.
