Posted by Mitch in code, Web Development on September 6, 2010

When updating to XTmembers v2.0.1 stable and memberlist v1.0.4 stable, the Install routine attempts to execute this code: ALTER TABLE `tl_member` DROP INDEX `autologin`, ADD UNIQUE KEY `autologin` (`autologin`); and it doesn’t work and keeps returning you to the same screen.

Blackbaud Kintera Sphere CMS The Kintera CMS has alot of features, but one thing which I noticed it is lacking is an easy mechanism for captioning photos.
