PHP Error Message

Fatal error: [SQL] [1060] Duplicate column name 'custom_profile_fields'
ALTER TABLE mybb_adminviews ADD custom_profile_fields text NOT NULL AFTER conditions in /home/a9272014/public_html/inc/db_mysqli.php on line 557

In ./install/resources/upgrade20.php, find:

$db->add_column("adminviews", "custom_profile_fields", "text NOT NULL AFTER conditions");

Change to:

if($db->field_exists('custom_profile_fields', 'adminviews'))
{
	$db->drop_column('adminviews', 'custom_profile_fields');
}
if(!$db->field_exists('custom_profile_fields', 'adminviews'))
{
	$db->add_column("adminviews", "custom_profile_fields", "text NOT NULL AFTER conditions");
}

Then try and upgrade again.

Thanks. I did not require this for some reason though. I went to my forum, looked in the admin CP and it was upgraded to 1.6.4. I'm not completely sure what happen but I do appreciate your reply. Would I need to install that little "mess up update" also?

The ACP will show that you're on 1.6.4 once you upload the new files, but that doesn't mean the database is necessarily updated.

If you downloaded the upgrade after that patch was released then you shouldn't need it, no.

Okay thanks.
