Re: installin simple subforum how to???? help
If you haven't done so, read this section: Installing MODs with EasyMOD
If you run into any problems during the MOD install, don't hesitate to ask for additional support. Let me know how it goes..

Re: installin simple subforum how to???? help
Often times MOD authors provide far more information than EM needs to FIND a certain line in the file, which limits the number of boards that the MOD will install cleanly on. That is the case with the Simple Sub-Forums MOD too. EM only needs a unique word or phrase to know where to move the file pointer...
So do this:
OPEN
simple_subforums_1.0.1.txt
FIND
REPLACE WITH
Save, upload, and try again using EM...
If this doesn't resolve the conflict, I will need a Text link for your admin/admin_forums.php file
Creating text Links for phpBB files
First create a duplicate of the phpBB file on your PC, then rename the file by adding .txt to the end of the file name. Next upload the file to a location on your FTP Server accessible to the public and provide a link back here for us to analyze it...
The path to your file could look something like this now:
So do this:
OPEN
simple_subforums_1.0.1.txt
FIND
Code: Select all
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
$sql = "INSERT INTO " . FORUMS_TABLE . " (forum_id, forum_name, cat_id, forum_desc, forum_order, forum_status, prune_enable" . $field_sql . ")

Re: installin simple subforum how to???? help
Ok, the MOD author pulled a trick that would have worked if the original FIND statement had worked. But since I modified the MOD statement, it changed the flow of the MOD script...
So do this:
OPEN
simple_subforums_1.0.1.txt
FIND
REPLACE WITH
Save, upload, and try again using EM...
Note in the FIND that I iniatially suggested, I told EM to find only ONE line of code in the admin_forums.php file. By adding the keyword VALUES on the second line of the FIND statement, EM will be looking at two lines of the admin_forums.php file which will contain everything EM needs to FIND for the following MOD IN-LINE commands. Also note how little information I had to provide to tell EM what to find. All EM needs is a unique word or phrase from each line of the FIND statement in order to know where to move the file pointer...

Re: installin simple subforum how to???? help
Your text link worked just fine. That is the best way to go...
This is a simple fix. Again you can work around these types of problems by simplifying the FIND statement down to a unique word or phrase...
So do this:
OPEN
simple_subforums_1.0.1.txt
FIND
REPLACE WITH
