SQL error

[wdavis111]

I just installed your forum-news on my new PHPNuke 7.7 (which uses PHPBB 2.14)test site, and I get the following error:

MYSQL ERROR: 1054 : Unknown column 'topic_id' in 'field list' QUERY: SELECT topic_id, forum_id, topic_title, topic_poster, topic_time, topic_views, topic_replies, topic_first_post_id FROM nuke_topics WHERE forum_id='1' ORDER BY topic_id DESC LIMIT 24

I looked inside nuke_topics and indeed the fields don't have these names, but rather only topicid, topicname, topicimage, and counter.

Any ideas?

That is interesting. I wonder if phpBB changed their database structure.

I will have to look into it. For now, you can modified this stuff yourself:
Open forum-news/classes/forums/phpBB_2.php and modify a couple of things:

Modify the names of the tables in the following to the names that you did see:

(around line 89)

$this->DB->query("SELECT tid, title, posts, starter_id, start_date, starter_name, views, forum_id FROM " . $this->DB->prefix . "topics WHERE ". $WHERE ." ORDER BY tid DESC LIMIT " . $number_to_fetch);

(around line 113)

$this->DB->query("SELECT post FROM " . $this->DB->prefix . "posts WHERE topic_id='" .$current_post['tid']. "' ORDER BY pid ASC LIMIT 1");

(around line 132)... modify the names in between ['...']

$this->POSTS[$post_count] = array(
    	"text" => $post_text,
    	"title" => $current_post['title'],
    	"author_name" => $current_post['starter_name'],
    	"author_id" => $current_post['starter_id'],
    	"date" => $current_post['start_date'],
    	"reply_num" => $current_post['posts'],
    	"view_num" => $current_post['views'],
    	"post_id" => $current_post['tid'],
    	"cat_id" => $current_post['forum_id'],
    	"author_url" => $this->get_Author_Link($current_post['starter_id']),
    	"post_url" => $this->get_Thread_Link($current_post['tid'])
    );

I know that sounds like quite a bit, but you can probably modify all that in about five minutes. I will also take a look and see if the new phpBB version has modified the default table names or if this is just a result of PHPNuke modifying the table names. Either way, I will make sure to release a new class covering the changes.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I'm not sure however if I'm smart enough to understand how this fixes my problem. If I read your code correctly, you're looking for fields

topic_id, forum_id, topic_title, topic_poster, topic_time, topic_views, topic_replies, topic_first_post_id FROM nuke_topics

while the only fields in my nuke_topics are

topicid, topicname, topicimage, and counter

OK, I figured it out. In PHPNuke 7.7 with it's built-in PHPBB 2.14, they have use prefix_bb for strictly PHPBB tables, but prefix_ for shared tables. So when I configured forum-news to use a nuke_bb prefix, it finds the correct topics table... but apparently they share a USERS table...

So to make a long story short, I had to replace your prefix_users with a hardcoded nuke_users in about 3 different places to make this work.

Thanks for your hard work!

Ah, ok. I am glad you got that sorted out then. I will consider making a nuke module for the next version.
