Yes
But he would be a mega-genius if he could make a SMF 2.0 Update

 I posted this on the wrong board, SMF 1.x Support. I am new to this so please be gentle.


    Karma Mod Caused Big Problem!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is how our problem began. A clean download of 1.1.7 was made and everything worked. We downloaded a Karma Description Mod and the permissions box was blank. The boxes to check were there but no text to read beside the boxes.

We uninstalled the Mod and deleted it. Now no one can applaud or smite, unless as Admin we go into the profile and do it manually. We tried reinstalling the Mod hoping it would put back whatever it took, but no cookie!

This is what it shows when a member tried to use the karma:

An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'main' template.


These are the errors that are showing in our forum error log: the x's replace the user number.
   

Unable to load the 'main' template.


 
2: call_user_func(ModifyKarma) [<a href='function.call-user-func'>function.call-user-func</a>]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback

File: /home/truei1/public_html/forum/Themes/default/languages/Who.english-utf8.php (summary sub template - eval?)

These are what Mods we have installed;

1. TinyPortal 0.983     
2. SMF Gallery Lite 1.9.4   
3. Remove SMF Logo 1.2   
4. Karma Description Mod 2.3.1  (We left this installed for now) 

From here, how do we fix it so that our members can give karma?
What can we do to be able to use the karma mod because we want to be able to give reason for the karma?
If anyone has suggestions, please let me know!! Thanks for everything!

It's only been a month, he's still learning the coding of SMF 2.0 and it's been Christmas time and New Year. Give the guy a break already.

Well the MSL part is "My Self Laughing" you can figure out what the P stands for yourself

Hey folks, it is a pain in the ass checking out meaningless posts, so how about keeping it on track and if you don't have something constructive to say just hush up.

[Sabre™]

As opposed to that meaningless post, and this?

Definitely.  All good things are worth waiting for.

How is that on track or any different?
I see you not showing any statement to support the mod, or help another user in that statement.
Like our comments.
Now and then you have a few posts that sway off in reply, show me one support thread that doesn't!
So please, practice what you preach or just ignore it like we all do at times.
I guarantee you'll still be alive tomorrow.

Thanks

Because when you guys do that my legitimate request for help gets lost and overlooked as this one may have since I posted it and even bumped it once already. I am still waiting for help.
      Thanks!

Our comments were directed at the annoying people who keep posting saying "any progress" or "I've given up" "bump" etc etc. You're not the only one who keeps having to come check the thread via email notification when there aren't any valid new posts

Oh of course!!
It cannot be because noone knows the solution!!
It MUST be because of the 2 or more lines posted!!


What have you done to correct your issue?
Have you reinstalled your site from an old backup?
Have you made any backups?
Have you then reinstalled the mod?
Have you tried disabling the other mods and then running that mod alone, and THEN enable the other mods one at a time to see if there are any conflicts?
etc etc etc...

What have you done?
If none of the above have been attempted, then start with the first, and reinstall from an old backup.
If you dont have one, then mark that as a lesson learnt, and start making backups a regular practice.
Now go to your  Packages  folder, and look in the  backup  folder, there you will see something along the lines of  Before Karma Description Mod.
Download that file, then reupload it to the root of your forum.
The root is where your sources, packages and theme folders etc are.

Unless someone knows how to fix your problem, then I'd suggest doing the above.

Good luck

Let me tell how much your kindness to someone who just got into this about a month ago, has touched my heart Sabre.

There hadn't been a back up made yet as the site was brand new. When we messed it up we asked for help. If we had known what to do we wouldn't have needed to ask.

Thank you for your suggestions and I would really like to follow them, if it were possible to do so.

However I think we have found someone to help us fix it.  As newbies to all of this we need all the luck we can get.

Thank you.

[Sabre™]

Well mate, we all start somewhere, we all require assistance, and if time and knowledge permits, we all usually receive assistance.

Guidlines
1.) You should always make backups of your project!!
2.) Refer to number one.

Many people back their boards up once a day.  I do it once a week, and whenever a major edit has been made.

If you run into future issues, try to use the above suggestions as a guide, as they are part of what you would be asked.
Never rely on luck when using software, rely on your willingness to absorb knowledge, and your number 1 friend................ Mr backup lol

What I have stated above about your backup in your packages folder, may prove handy one day, so try to learn how to do that.
Your reply was firm and handled with class, I for one respect that, so if your friend cannot sort this out for you, I will be more than welcomed to offer you the extra assistance.

Good luck

Update, 

All Our problems have been fixed and the MOD works like a charm!

Sabre, thank you for you kind offer. I would have taken you up on it too, but HR got it sorted out along with a lot of other problems we had. There were a bunch too! 

Oh and we make two backups of the site. So no matter what happens we at least have ALL of our files backed up.  Thanks mate!
