Essentially, it was (1) removing the quotes around the column names and (2) changing the TYPE= to ENGINE= on the table creation statement (TYPE= is deprecated).

When I updated Clydes Testimonials Manager to run on zen cart version 1.5.0 I didn't change anything with the install.sql statement. I added a couple lines to run on v.1.5.0. I don't have any problem with the sql statement. This is why I think it has something to do with running on a PHP 5.3. I may be wrong but no one else is having this except you and LadyArlette. I'm going to to test this out tonight on php 5.3 and see whats going on. Thank you for your version of the sql statement that worked for you.

But the SQL statement does have some issues that could cause issues with newer versions of mySQL (as lat9 pointed out TYPE= is indeed deprecated) and the SQL script also contains code that could inadvertently delete items from the configuration table.

More importantly here is the reason why when lat9 removed the back quotes (not to be confused with single quotes) around the column names in the create table section of the script the problem was resolved. The syntax issue is the back quotes:

The error 1064 occurs due to Mysql version mismatch,because differnt versions have differnt
reserved words,which if used by a previous version causes the error to occur.

Removing the back quotes solves the issue.

Not a PHP compatibility issue or you would have seen an error relating to that instead of a SQL error which is indicative of invalid syntax being used in the SQL script.. Besides that Clyde himself certified that this add-on was PHP v5.3 ready with his last release of Testimonials Manager..

The fact that you are not having an issue when you run the same script would only seem to indicate that your server is running an older version of mySQL which still supports some of this old (and now invalid) syntax..

I understood what he was saying. I was going to see and checkout for myself. And yes I was planing on updating the sql statement.. Just give me a little time Diva "please"

Essentially, it was (1) removing the quotes around the column names and (2) changing the TYPE= to ENGINE= on the table creation statement (TYPE= is deprecated).

I installed the PHP 5.3.8, mySQL 5.5.16 version of xampps. Yes this mySQL 5.5.16 version does has issues with the install.sql statement for Testimonials Manager. Thanks again lat9 for your updated version of the new_install.sql statement. I have updated Testimonials Managers sql.statement. It has been uploaded waiting for approval from the zen team.

Thanks Diva for waiting on me.......

Sorry for the delay - work keeps getting in the way of progress.

I may have tried to install the patch for testimonial manager 1.5 initially, but I uninstalled completely more than once in trying to make it work. I had no problems with the uninstall sql, and did a Windows explorer "search and destroy" for any files containing the word "testimonial" too.

When I was uninstalling I did look at the tables to see if there were any testimonial tables, and I did not see any.

I am using:
Apache/2.2.21 (Win32)
PHP/5.3.8
MySQL/5.5.16
PHPmyAdmin/3.4.5

I entered the new updated sql patch into the SQL Query Executor on my computer and ran it, and received the following error:

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 7
in:
[CREATE TABLE PVPVupgrade_exceptions ( upgrade_exception_id smallint(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, sql_file varchar(50) default NULL, reason varchar(200) default NULL, errordate datetime default '0001-01-01 00:00:00', sqlstatement text, PRIMARY KEY (upgrade_exception_id) ) TYPE=MyISAM ]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

(incidentally, PV is the table prefix for my database tables)

I brought up my website on my computer, and the testimonial manager appears to be working now! Yippee!

Since testimonial manager appears to be working, I am going to go forward now, and assume this error message is not something about which to be concerned.

Thank you very much for your help and the updated sql patch!

Wendy

No worries..

FYI for future reference, the error message number is the hint that will tell you if it's a SQL error versus a PHP error.. 1064 is a mySQL syntax error message. And despite the long winded nature of error messages, the first part of most error messages really do tell you a good deal about an error and it's source: 1064:You have an error in your SQL syntax;

Additional reading on this (in case you're interested)

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/...es-server.html)

In the meantime, and MOST importantly you need to use the updated SQL script I posted for your update submission.. The one lat9 posted still contains code that could inadvertently delete records from the configuration table.. You can simply resubmit it you do not have to wait for the submission you posted today to be approved. Simply reply to the e-mail you got acknowledging your submission and let the admins know you will be submitting a replacement update.. Then re-submit it with the SQL I posted..

Specifically this part is problematic:

Code:

#SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Testimonials Manager';

(The Zen Cart v1.5 threads on updating mods cover this and WHY it should NOT be included in SQL scripts for add-ons. If you recall I took this same kind of code out of the SQL for the Rewards points SQL)

If you'll notice, I had turned the problematic SET statements into comments ... thus also removing the problem.

Hi Diva I basically redid sql statement like you said in the first place. The only thing I didn't do was take out the engine part. Thank You for pointing that out.

I did some reserch on MyISAM vs InnoDB and found out With the release of MySQL 5.5, InnoDB has become the default storage engine so thank you again. This will maybe cause others not to have the error when installing this module.
And thanks for the other 2 links for the sql errors.

Yes you did, but I we decided to remove them just in case others might not have understood what that was for.
