wildteen88 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Shouldn't do as I'm not using any MySQL5 functionality. Post the full error here. I did have a slight typo in the delete queries. Originally the queries where: DELETE * FROM ... rest of query ... The corrected queries are now DELETE FROM ... rest of query ... However just noticed something about your id field from the screenshot you posted. The extra column for the id row should be set to auto_increment.

However just noticed something about your id field from the screenshot you posted. The extra column for the id row should be set to auto_increment. I guess I'll change it to the newest mysql And I tried adding it auto_increment and I got this: #1075 - Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You'll need to set the id field to a primary key too, before setting it to auto_increment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory94bailly Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 You'll need to set the id field to a primary key too, before setting it to auto_increment. I fixed that.. But I still get the errors. I'll change the mysql's version tomorrow and see if that does anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory94bailly Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Ok.. changing the mysql version did nothing. I got the same 3 errors.. Also, here's the source code of the show news page.. <table> <tr> <th>STICKY: <u>Sticky</u></th> </tr> <tr> <td>Sticky</td> </tr> <tr> <th><u>Not-Sticky</u></th> </tr> <tr> <td>Not-Sticky</td> </tr> <tr> <th><u>Nothing At All</u></th> </tr> <tr> <td>Nothing At All</td> </tr> </table><br /> That's there it shows spaces in front of the non stickies.

wildteen88 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Can you post the code here along with the errors messages in full. I have tested my code for syntax errors and even set-up a temporary news table like yours, to see if the code works correctly. Which it does from my testing. You tried clearing your browsers cache?

Cory94bailly Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Cool, that fixed most of it.. Now there's 2 things.. 1.) If I click "Delete all news", it says "All stickied news deleted!!!" and I tried all 3 buttons and I never got a "All news deleted!"... 2.) Spaces in front of user end.

wildteen88 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Cool, that fixed most of it.. Now there's 2 things.. 1.)

Cory94bailly Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Now for "Delete all", I'm getting "All non-stickied news deleted!"... And I mean this..: 1.)

wildteen88 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 It is to do with the HTML code. Change the HTML to how you want the news to appear To always align news title text to the left. Change: <th>{$sticky}<u>{$news['title']}</u></th> to <th align="left"><u>{$sticky}{$news['title']}</u></th> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory94bailly Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Cool!!! Now 1 thing left.. I want stickies to show before regular posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Change the order of the fields in the ORDER BY clause to: $query1 = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY sticky, id ASC"; should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
