Question on modifying a PHPBB2 forum

[hutch48]

I have the forum software for PHPBB2 up and running successfully but I have tried to install the file attachment modification and have not had any success.

It installed after I copied all of the files it required and the installation said it completed properly but when I ran the forum from the admin control panel I got errors when trying to access a number of the categories.

Attachments : Management

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: attach_sql_query() in
/www/m/masmforum/htdocs/attach_mod/includes/functions_selects.php on line 236

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here. I manually uninstalled the mod by renaming files and manually removing the categories from the MySql database but I don't know what is going on or what the errors mean.

I am also running this from a win98se box as I have no shell access to the powweb box.

OK, I got the attachment going but I would have to say, WHAT A PIG to install from win98se.

Convert the UNIX format text file to CRLF DOS format so I could edit it and make it fit on the screen, read it more times than you could imagine and eventually get all of the correct files in place then run the install file from a browser.

I do see the advantages of a well set up unix box but as long as the standard of documentation is so poor, the mentality of "May the SAUCE be with you" will keep running a bad second place to Windows.
