Want to upgrade but have error in log on lite version. Support?

[weightman]

I am interested in upgrading to the Pro version of SMF Gallery but have an error associated with Gallery lite I would like to resolve first (error from SMF log listed below).  Or I would like to know how much support I will have if the install of Pro doesn't go smoothly.

Thanks

Gallery Error:

That old error has been fixed with the Gallery Pro.

We are able to install the Gallery for you if you are having issues.

Unistall the Gallery Lite before installing Gallery Pro.

Edit: I assume and read that all the categories and pictures the members have already uploaded will not be lost.

[SMFHacks]

No that information is saved. Saves all database and picutres uploaded.

There is only an option to delete the Gallery lite mod. I believe I once tried to uninstall it to see if it was causing another problem. Deleting it will lose nothing?

Thanks

Add this to the package manager url and check if this will allow you to uninstall the old lite version.
;version_emulate=1.1

Should look something like this
http://www.yourforum.com/index.php?action=packages;version_emulate=1.1

I don't follow you. Where would I insert this link?

[SMFHacks]

Inside the package manager when viewing the packages. You would change the url.

[weightman]

In which tab within the package manager? The only one that has a place for a url is the "Download Packages" tab under "Add server". Inserting the link there does add it to the list of "Package Servers". But, if you then click Browse for that server, it says this "Unable to connect to the server. Please try using this URL instead."

Thanks

[SMFHacks]

Not actually enter the url in a textbox but change the url in the address bar of your web browser.

[weightman]

No, that brought me to my Main Site homepage. In other words, it is a bridged forum with a Mambo CMS and it was that homepage: http://weightliftingexchange.com/

I suppose I could just delete the mod if it will solve the problem. There are only 19 pictures in there right now, 17 of which were posted today by a member. I could just download them, copy the description to notepad and then put them back in the Pro version if its easier than solving this problem.

Thanks

[SMFHacks]

Hmm, yeah the url is a little different site the forum is bridged.

[weightman]

Alright, I added the subdirectory its in, /smf and it brought up a package manager. It says in Latest Packages "A number of small bugs and a security issue have been identified in SMF 1.1 Final. You can install this patch (click here to install) to update your version of SMF to 1.1.1."

But,  I am running SMF 1.1.4. The uninstall option is available for Gallery lite however. When you click it, it brings up this warning: "Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF. "

1.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php     Test failed

4.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/index.template.php     Test failed

Perhaps other mods have changed those files so that the uninstall doesn't know how to do its thing?

Thanks

[SMFHacks]

Yeah. Probably the best bet would be to uninstall them anyway and then just install the new version their might be some areas were there is double code and would need to be manually removed.

[weightman]

As I recall, editing the main tabs in SMF, which I did to add and remove buttons, involved those two files.
