Hi
What I did was an upgrade from the last stable version to SVN, anyway I use to first install it from scratch to create the tables on a fresh database for a comparison, then I call back the /install directory for your good scripts and upgrade the old database.
If I install it from scratch it comes out an error because the script (I checked it) has ' italian ' as the default language and it writes it in the _config table while the italian language is not installed, the only way is edit the table manually or change the script and rerun it.
Quote:
I will check that... are you sure that your account is not using Italian? I believe that the installation script can use the same language which the admin is using.
Well, sure the install (fresh install) runs in italian reading it from my browser, but there were not the italian package installed, still it installed italian as the default language, the result was that the site showed the related error.

I have never tried to update... anyway Activity is not supported and provided as an extra addon.
Yes, anyway the fresh installation creates the tables related to the mod and the extra fields in the _users table so that it is working, but if you run the upgrade script, the fields in the _user table are not created, I found it comparing the freshly installed database and the upgraded one (and because the mod was not working)

Use it carefully... at the moment I don't have the time to fix that mod and even if I will provide it as an extra, it will not be supported even after new release.
Yes, amod site is also in bad shape. I would have preferred to have a mod instead of an hardcoded version even because hackers (or so called..) try to squeeze in the site using files that should never been seen because there is no links to them, for example I don't use the Knowledge Base and there are not links to it, still I logged some tries on the KB files, even if I renamed them. If the code of the Activity Mod is not secure maybe it would be better to have renamed or separately installed the files related.

La activity mod, se attivata, produce un errore relativo alla chiamata ad una funzione non esistente quando cerca di aggiornare le statistiche, la funzione e' in un file diverso da quello incluso in newscore.php
Where do you have this error? In ACP or while playing one game? In the second case it could be possible that the game you played has not been designed to work with activity mod.
No, just play a whatever game, at the end the file newscore.php tries to update the stats calling a function that is in the file functions_amod_includes_functions.php but this file is not included in newscore.php, I solved it moving the function in
functions_amod_plus.php.

La cash mod non funziona, le "currencies" vengono create nel database ma sono invisibili e non riconosciute nel pannello di amministrazione
That is strange, I have this mod running properly in a couple of sites... maybe because I performed a clean install and not an upgrade. Did you try to remove the currencies and add again?
Yes, I tried everything, I should try to install it from scratch but the problem is that it's hardcoded and so it's difficult to find out where is the coded added, btw I tried it in the updated site and in the freshly installed site, first, going to the configuration page of the cash, the page is not shown, then if I add currencies they are not shown in the ACP related page and are not even seen by the other management pages related to the mod in the ACP, while the currencie is created in the table and even in the _user table. By the way it act maybe is related to the cache, but I've also deleted all the cache files and still nothing appearead, so I gave up for now... Even cash.php doesn't see the currencies even if they are created in the database. P.S. I'll try to add the currency and see if it shows up later so I can say if it's related to cache.

Yes it is a cache issue... how did you delete the user? From which page? I need to know that so I can add the clear cache function even to that page.
It came out because I test the registration process creating a fake user, then I delete it by the ACP. I think I deleted it from the users management page, but usually I prune them by the prune users page (non activated, never logged in) so maybe you could throw an eye on that page too.

Se si utilizza la URL_REWRITE alcuni thumbnails dell'album, almeno nei block della pagina principale, si incasinano mostrando la descrizione dell'immagine invece del thumbnail. Non ho capito perchè, dovrebbe capitare se la descrizione e' molto lunga. Ho risolto usando il titolo invece della descrizione come ALT (il titolo e' corto e la descrizione potrebbe essere invece molto lunga).
Are you talking about the default ALBUM block? I'll check it.
Yes, btw I simply suggest you to change the ALTernate text in the showing of the thumbnails from the description to the title of the picture, if the site doesn't load for whatever reason, the description, if it's long, messes up all the page. Again, some users write a long title , so the title, in the block, goes in two or more rows messing up the block: maybe that html thing that cut the line to a certain number of character can be useful, I'll use it on the album block of my site...
Quick thumbnails and generation of a mid-picuters don't wor in the blocks, only in the album, not a big deal btw.

Il caching delle immagini dell'album ha smesso di funzionare, non so perche'
, aspetto la versione definitiva...
That is strange... can you check if it is working fine on this site?
Did you move the users pictures in subfolders?
You don't have a large database of pictures here, btw I don't know if it's a bug or something that I messed up, they were working and just stopped working properly: if I want them to work, I've to load the page twice. Yes I run the script to move the pictures in the subfolders (even if a lot are still in the main folder, working correctly). This is why I'll wait the release version to see what's going on: I'm lazy and I prefer to do the editing once and forever on a stable version.

Se non sbaglio i vari viewtopic dovrebbero essere diversi se si installa la cash mod e la activity mod, non vengono mostrati ne i trophies ne le currencies
I didn't implement that part... because I didn't want to add extra SQL charge in viewtopic... I believe those SQL are commented somewhere in that file... can you try to have a look please?
I've to find a copy of the mod somewhere 'cause amod site is out of line (maybe dead?)

Se ti e' possibile, sarebbe utile estendere il "Replace In Posts" anche ai titoli e all'album, nel passaggio da sql 4 a sql 5 mi sono portato dietro diversi caratteri "strani" che ho dovuto editare a mano...
That should be due to a different encoding... usually adding the correct collation or exporting and reimporting tables using the same charset should solve the problem.
Too late... I'm not an expert, btw the charset used should be different from sql 4 and 5 and phpbb 2 and 3, I fixed it editing the database offline. btw that mod should be extended to the album comments: if you want to swap something in the forum you would have it changed also in the album. I think the code in the (original) smartor's album is redundant, it would be cleaner if the album would be simply a special forum with the pictures added as attachments and comments added as replies with the album main page simply a show off of the first post's attachment and an upload page that simply write the title, the description and add the attachment, but this is another story.

Anyway thanks for the suggestion... I may consider this, but now I lack of free time... maybe after the final release. If you don't see this feature in a couple of months, send me a reminder via PM.
Thanks for your feedbacks.
No problem
