You asked to register, but gave a demo account? Either way, when I attempted to register, I got this: "Unfortunately, there has been an error in the code. Don't worry, the developers have been informed." ~G7470

Welcome back, Cronus! ~G7470

At this point, I'm going to defer to [uSER=70347]NonStopCoding[/uSER] since it is his mod (since I know that he is around). I'd like to hear his input on this rather than having me continue to talk through a mod to you that I didn't create (nor do I know if he's made any changes within the past 24 hours to this mod). ~G7470

My thoughts are to have some more "general" education areas (like "coaching" and then branch out to types of coaching) - stuff like that. That could help reduce the number of starting points that you have. From there, that could also improve the depth as well as dependencies for other courses (like more advanced courses in one area may require the "general" education areas from another area). ~G7470

You might want to check what he put in the paste on his initial post for this mod for the minute cron. Line 9 of the paste is this:   $db->query("UPDATE `traveling` SET `time` = GREATEST(`time` - 1, 0)");   ...which is exactly what you put here. Unless [uSER=70347]NonStopCoding[/uSER] is changing this paste on-the-fly today for some reason, this was there. ~G7470

I'm not even sure if this mod works, really. I haven't tested it, and I don't see any responses in this thread saying that others have tested it and worked fine (besides the creator). ~G7470

I'm fairly certain your cron is full of errors because you did not install this mod correctly. Either that or you are showing "Notices" or "Warnings", which aren't errors at all. This mod has no "travel" field, just "traveling", which is set to 0 when the trip is completed. Others have used this mod just fine - so that should tell you something. ~G7470

This is (at least) not possible in v2 as delivered. This would have to be a mod. The mod might exist, but that I don't know. ~G7470

This "notice" is exactly the same as what you have described on this post: http://makewebgames.io/forum/game-engines/mccode-development-support/engine-support/375764-error-on-every-page-almost ~G7470

Welcome back! I have been asked on multiple occasions to become a part of companies that use multi-level marketing / network marketing. I've done my research - basically, it's not for me. There are obvious flaws in the system, and those that do very little after building their "tree" (as some have called it) make the most $$. Experience obviously drives the amount of $$ that you make, but you should at least be a contributor once you have the experience instead of a piggy-backer off of others' success. However, that doesn't mean that I'm a "negative nancy" towards those that go down this route. So long as you enjoy what you're doing and it's not illegal, who cares. Kudos for finding your passion and enjoying what you're doing. ~G7470

I haven't tested out php 7 with MCCodes, so I have no idea whether or not that will work. I would be surprised if it worked without any issues tbh. ~G7470

If you're on MCCodes V2.0.5 (which judging by your posts on several mods you are), this can be done via the config file. In the config, there is a "driver" setting. Change that from 'mysql' to 'mysqli'. ~G7470

Nice catch, although if those are standard MCCode tables (and judging by this, they are) the ambiguity of those fields is perfectly fine for the MySQL engine because the other table doesn't have those fields defined. Unless for whatever reason PHP doesn't approve of it (which I highly doubt) this should still run properly. Should this be fixed irregardless? Absolutely. If you're going to put aliases on your tables in a query, you should write your SQL statements with those aliases throughout the query. ~G7470

  I wouldn't suggest saying that it's invalid MySQL if you are just learning to read it. The MySQL syntax in and of itself is perfectly fine and valid. Also, when I copy/paste your code into Notepad++, it's all on one line. Put statements on separate lines next time - makes it easier to read. ~G7470

My suggestion is to not echo any of the different language text out - meaning that I would just remove PHP from that part of the equation and just put that text into the HTML. There's no reason to get PHP involved with it if it's not needed. ;) ~G7470

If the text that is going to be printed is in the proper language (meaning that you didn't have to do any sort of translation), then you should be able to get away with it. Otherwise, doing a translation from English to another language through an API or code in most cases costs $$ or a lot of time. You'll just have to know which city is using what language and print out the text in that language. ~G7470

Is it changeable? Yes - well, partially. At least to my knowledge, you won't get away with storing multiple different languages into different rows of one table. That's just not going to happen. You would have to create a table for each language that is currently not supported by the standard (so a Spanish table, Chinese table, etc) and change the collection collations to match. For your particular purpose, I think it's a terrible idea to go down this route simply because of all of the overhead that would be required - plus all of the duplication, which is something you do not want to have in your code base. My suggestion would be to say "good idea, but far too much of a burden to deal with" (unless you had plenty of $$ to spend) and try something else. ~G7470

The SQL part of it is still missing from when MWG's forum was upgraded a little while back. [uSER=52003]Dave Macaulay[/uSER], where are you at with getting that fixed up? :) ~G7470

Remove the COMMENT keyword on that sql line - that should do the trick with getting that statement to work. ~G7470

From my past experience, this usually means that you are attempting to evaluate a variable that currently is not defined yet. The way I normally fix it is wherever that variable is being evaluated (usually in an if statement), turn that if statement into something like this:   if (isset($variable) && <other condition that evaluates $variable>) {   isset() in PHP manual: http://php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php ~G7470

Did you build this in a way that the admin panel could be easily translated into English or another language? Speaking for myself, I would be completely in the dark with translating this by hand, and that would mean some overhead cost to have it done. ~G7470

No, we're not related nor do we work in the same company haha. I also wouldn't say that the prize is "too low to be worthy", heck, it would be great coming out of a contest with $500 let alone $5k. I'll just be away for 50% of the time that is given to complete the game, so if I would enter, it would be nowhere near my best work. ~G7470  

As [uSER=65371]sniko[/uSER] as stated, I'll be watching this as well but won't be able to participate - especially considering I'll be away from my computer for half of the time that is allotted to complete the game. If you do one of these in the future, I'll certainly be interested in competing (so long as I'm available!). ~G7470

Ok, thanks for taking a look at that. I had this on 5.2 without much success, but I don't know if that's because of my host giving me issues or that this engine is using PHP 5.5+ functionality. Figured that this sort of information would be good for others on MWG as well. :) ~G7470

What is the minimum PHP version requirement in order to use this game engine? 5.2? 5.5? 6? ~G7470
