On the Beta version
05/26/05 at 11:59:22
 
Hello Dieter,

To begin with I installed version 1.6.1.60 and it worked very well so made it live.

In just a couple of weeks it has 21 registrants and a few auction items.

Then I made a donation and downloaded your beta version Version 1.6.2.008 (Beta), which is equally impressive and works well.

However, I encountered a problem. I noticed that the beta version stores the categories data in a new folder called: categories. Plus, for some reason it suspended all the active registrants. Also, in addition, unlike previous versions  where you could wave a hammer and delete abusers through /eAuction.pl?action=admin the beta version has this removed.

To cut to the chase, what I really need to know is:

(a) How can I convert the current database to the demo version and is their a tool for doing this?

(b) How can I get extremely angry and wave a hammer about or an axe so I can crush abusers through the admin controls? rofl.

In the meantime, I have had to go back to version 1.6.1.60, which works super and does the job all the same.

Thank you for your advice in advance.


PS. I did move the categories into the categories folder and though I gave it time in the early hour of the morning all I achieved was this:

That's easy to explain ...

- to store the categories in a seperated folder, makes the directory-system more transparent (and sorted)

- I added some new (needed)  fields to the user.dat, therefore v1.6.2 isn't compatible to v1.6.1

- in the future you will have a converter script

- in the future you will have an Admin-Script that contains a lot of useful functions (the 'hammer' you need is included too)  Wink

- the darned 'Error 2' message is a problem; because I can't reproduce it  Angry

Thanks Dieter,

I can wait  Grin. Also puzzled by the error 2 code. Will play around with the installed beta version see if I can improve its installation (when I get the time).

In the meatime I shall put my hammer away and keep it finely polished.
