Hi, I run a IPB 2.1.7 forum, and I really needed a chat system so i installed StrChat http://mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/6551 I followed every step. I installed it, and when i try to use the chat it gives me this error: And people are not able to see their control panel. so i tried to uninstall it and when i do that i get a database error, Has anyone got any ideas? I don't know a lot about this stuff.
I cant remember much from ipb 2.1.7 because we use the latest since we are a design firm however if there is a mysql functions php page then look in that for something relating to the chat and remove it. Invision hacks are never good, they ask you to find a line and its either not there or it wont work which is annoying at time, I would hardly ever say this but if your wanting to use hacks use vBulletin. I personally have had no issues with vbulletin hacks and used it for a good 6 years, as for ipb I have used ipb and ikonboard when matt wrote that for around 8 years and on both boards hacks where always a problem.
I know, i mean its really frustrating cuase this board is a young one but I managed to get about 300 members in a week and its picking up and now the PM and my controls is not working. thx for the help. anymore help would be appreciated/ i found these two in the SQL 4.1.21-standard Tool Box ibf_strchat_online 0 Export ibf_strchat_temp_bans 0 Export
if you want an easy way upgrade the board to 2.2.1 however a hard way would be to find the file for the mysql functions and remove any thing which mentions the hack backup your database before upgrading if you chose the easy way, I cant help anymore than that since I no longer use 2.1.7 .
