Crap 
Just checked your site Dutchman and found the searches dont work correctly.
Just removed the downloads and will work on the problem now.
[edit]
Dutchman, can you run the update script (which you already downloaded) again, please.

Found the problem... working on it now.
Dutchman, im gonna send you a PM with a updated file in a little while to try out when you have time.
The problem is with database tables with a prefix in them, missed some changes in the search and post files.

Installing
If you are updating your Forum from version 2.4.x or older you will have to follow these steps.
Note: this is only for people who currently are running Forum version 2.4.x and older.
If you currently have Forum version 2.5.x or newer you just need the single update like normal.
- Updating from 2.4.x and older directions.
- Download the latest Forum update.
- After you have uploaded the new files to you server you NEED to also download the 2.4.x Extra's
2.4.x Extra's will have the following three folders /config/ - /images/ and /languages/
Those three folders need to be placed in /extensions/awc/forums/ and over writing the existing folders.
- Now head to your wiki's forum and follow the update links there.
Sorry for this extra step, but it is needed and only has to be done this one time.
Upload the the /extensions/ folder included in the download to your wikis root (main) folder
- Edit your Wiki's LocalSettings.php file, add the following:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/awc/forums/awc_forum.php" );
just under
require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
so it will look like this
require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
require_once( "$IP/extensions/awc/forums/awc_forum.php" );
- Go to your "Special pages" and you will now see a link to your forum.
After that you will see the forums navigation menu above your wikis current navigation menu.
You can also go to your Special and you will see a Forum link in there.
CSS file
If you want to run the forums css style from a file.css file.
You need to make the following folder extensions/awc/forums/skins/css writable.
This is done the same way you made your wiki /config/ folder writable during your Mediawiki install.
You can do this two ways, FTP-Client or SSH to your server.
With a FTP-Client you have to set the folder permissions to 755
| SSH Terminal
|
name@machine:/$ cd /path/to/wiki/extensions/awc/forums/skins/
name@machine:/$ chmod a+w css
|
Exporting Lang, Skin and CSS files
If you want to export your Skin Template, Language Definitions or CSS (to share with other people) you need to make extensions/awc/forums/xported_files/ writable.

Hey there... first pass install on my test WinXP Pro IIS w/ 1.16 MW. The upgrade script went though OK from what I see, but clicking the forum link again causes this error:
I did use the full download though... not the upgrade download... <dof!>. Think that would have even mattered?
Thanks!
Database error
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
SELECT `awc_f_cats`.cat_id,`awc_f_cats`.cat_order,`awc_f_cats`.cat_name, `awc_f_cats`.c_wiki_perm, `awc_f_forums`.* FROM `awc_f_cats` , `awc_f_forums` WHERE `awc_f_cats`.cat_id=`awc_f_forums`.f_parentid ORDER BY `awc_f_cats`.cat_order ASC, `awc_f_cats`.cat_name, `awc_f_forums`.f_order, `awc_f_forums`.f_name ASC
from within function "". Database returned error "1054: Unknown column 'awc_f_forums.f_parentid' in 'where clause' (localhost)".

Yep. Me agin. I'm popping an epic number of errors now that I've upgraded to the new version (though I haven't had time to do so with the main site.
HERE is a page with a number of the errors.

Hey Kenyu73...
Probably, do the update tar ball, then run Special:AWCforum/admin/get_updates/2.5.8
Kitsufox
Did you update the file i sent you via PM last night (PM has more info in it) ?
That link you posted just brings me to a empty page.
Is this what your talking about (if so, the file above should fix it) ?

Problem with posting
|
Just installed the new 2.58 version on a MediaWiki 1.15.2 and started beta testing. When posting, this is what is shown at the top of the page, even though i can post:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of wfRunHooks(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /hsphere/local/home/krillmeed/lcarsmemoryalpha.com/wiki/extensions/awc/forums/post.php on line 1231

Looking into this now, Krillmeed.
Does this happen when you create a post or does it happen when you EDIT a post ?

Ok Krillmeed, can you try this.
Edit file: extensions/awc/forums/post.php
|
| Find:
|
In the edit_post() function (line number (1231)) wfRunHooks( 'awcsforum_edit_thread', &$this ); // 2.5.8
|
| And replace it with:
|
wfRunHooks( 'awcsforum_edit_thread', array(&$this) ); // 2.5.8 |

Btw. real cool that it fills out the name automatically when writing an PM.
I really have to say that this is one of the best extensions available for mediawiki
