Problems with Modules

If you have the highest admin access, and if you installed everything correctly, you should have a modules link in your admin panel.

Go to your index page and change the url

/index.php
to
/admin.php?action=modules

That should take you to the module page.

After installing challenges, it should have a link in the admin panel as well. If none of those come up: did you have any problems when you upgraded or installed 3.0? Did you upgrade or install it? Did you edit any links or panels, or edit your site in any way?

Hey! Thanks for the quick response. I am at the highest admin level and as far as I know everything installed correctly, so I'm not sure why that link isn't showing up in the admin panel.

Okay, so I pasted that URL into my browser and it took me to a page that has the layout, but there is no content in it. Not sure if there's supposed to be some sort of content in there?

I upgraded to 3.0 and I didn't, as far as I know, mess with any of the links or panels. There's a chance I may have done that months and months ago when I first installed the site, but I don't really remember doing anything of that nature.

Hm...

Any ideas as how to move forward?

Are you sure you installed it?

First you have to be logged in to your site.
Then paste this in your webbrowser:
http://www.fiction.tokiohotelfiction.com/modules/challenges/install.php

If you are logged in it will ask if you want to install or not. If you are not logged in, it will say you're not authorized to do it.

After it's installed you can go into ADMIN and you should see Challenges in your menu. If you click on it, it should give you settings like if you allow anonymous submission and the like.

Once you've set that up, if you want it to show up on your menu of your skins, you might have to edit your variables.php to add {challenges} to it.

Thank you! I think I'm getting somewhere.

I must not have had it installed, because when I went to the provided link, it prompted me to install. I selected yes and got this error:

A fatal MySQL error was encountered.
Query: INSERT INTO `fanfiction_modules`(`version`, `name`) VALUES('1.2', 'Challenges')
Error: (1146) Table 'tokiohot_new.fanfiction_modules' doesn't exist

I think I need to create the table? If so, would it be possible to give me a quick walk through? I'd appreciate it.

Also, is there any way to get "Modules" to show up in my admin? I must have done something crazy to it.

edit: I'm attempting to create the table... do I just name it "fanfiction_modules"? And it's prompting me to enter a number of fields?

the challenges module is broke afiak, there are other posts on this. Mine did the same thing.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm still having issues with it. I attempted to follow these instructions on the page you linked me to:

1: Change the panel Browse for Challenge to read "modules/challenges/browse.php"
2: Uninstall the module, via the admin page I had to do this two different ways, the uninstall link on the modules page wouldn't work on one site so I had to go into the options and uninstall it there.
3: Drop the table in the database using phpMyAdmin
4: Install the module via http://www.mysite.co.uk/modules/challenges/install.php

My panel Browse for Challenge already had the correct url. I tried to do the uninstall, but my admin page doesn't have a Challenges or Module link in it. I think that's how this person did it? I might be wrong. Is there another way for me to uninstall it?

I don't think my challenge module ever installed, so I don't think I can uninstall it, but I really have no clue. This is all very foreign to me. I looked down the page further and saw this:

I made a fix for this challenge module error.  In the browse.php that is located in the root folder for your eFiction installation find:
Code:

else if(file_exists("browse/{$type}.php")) include("browse/{$type}.php");

and replace it with:
Code:

else if (file_exists("modules/{$type}/browse.php")) include("modules/{$type}/browse.php");

That got rid of the error on my installation.

I followed those instructions, too, and I still got the same error about the tables not existing. I'm so lost, any further help would be amazing. Thanks again.

I think Tammy means to have this fixed in the next update. Feel free to correct me.
