I need some help

[Greenbug]

As usual I tried to update my forum to rc3, now I get this.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tportal_sidebar() in /home/tcmorrow/public_html/americasforum/Sources/Load.php(1702) : eval()'d code on line 360

can I recover from this?

before I got this error I found three installations of TP 6,7, and 8.6. neither of which looked to be installed per the package section but I was definately seeing TP.

Did you make a backup....

[Greenbug]

or couse, something like backup_smf I believe but I have never had to back anything up before.

Hmm now to figure out how to bring it back? sh*t

[Jpg]

Whoa are you serious?

Don't take my word for this but... Look in phpmyadmin and just rename the backups. I never did this before so don't use this...wait until someone else says something cause I'm semi retarded when it comes to being technical and repairing stuff.

Great the blind leading the blind.

Thanks for your input though, I am barely a functioning moron at best myself.

LOL

Then after you restore the database, upload the smf files and edit setting.php to reflect the database settings and run the repair_settings.php script available on the downloads > convertors and tools page./

But again don't listen to me I'm semi retarded.

OK im psyched, let the healing begin!   

Now to restore the database.....

I think I missed that part of the instructions

Do I delete the new database files, then re-name the backup file removing the "backup_" part?

If you download the manual install package and then make the copy and paste part on to the files that need to be changed you are good to go again.
All the tables and content is still there, but as you have uploaded new files and upgraded your forum, the files with the TP code needed are gone.
So just put the code back to the files and you will be good to go

[Greenbug]

alrighty then, just fit this square peg into the round hole and your done! was'nt that easy......

I did as you said, but I am a bit hazy about the "copy and paste part on to the files that need to be changed"  Part somehow I think thats some what important?

Did you read in the post that I am am functioning moron, well I have to revise that to say I am a complete moron? obviously I am am not functioning anymore. Just a moron!

I say this with much humor, its not life threatening but it is frustrating.

If you wait 5 min i will give you the files for 1.1rc3 and TP V.086 that needs to be changed.
I have to install another testsite. Be back in 5 - 10 min.
