I'm using Myawesomefont BlackStars

[Grumpykitty]

and I followed all the instructions and I'm rather getting pissed off because I spent 5 hours trying to fix this and no possible way of doing that. Why the hell am i getting all black stars and nothing else? http://prntscr.com/lyilp9

forum url is required so that someone can check & provide possible fix.

Gee want a million dollars too? LOL I'm also getting this issue as well from the same creator of the problem with the black stars. http://prntscr.com/lyj6ld and I'll set you up a temp user account, I have that registration off for a reason.

field xyz doesn't have a default value

in general, that means that the database server was set with strict mode
and such problems are discussed many times on this community.

Gee want a million dollars too?

ever seen such demand from any Staff member here ?

One: Perhaps the theme you are using is conflicting with the plugin css and will need to be modified? * cannot tell without one viewing source on an open board and or also getting a view under the hood.

Two: The plugin was created for and works on the default theme and most themes as long as the respective forumbit templates have standard code to find and replace,. Three: now, if you are using a theme with font awesome already installed...., one, it may or may not work depending on the code the theme has and whether or not the plugin can insert replacements depending on the plugin finding the existing matching template call to overwrite. Four:  now if it does work, one very important note is to still find any font-awesome header include file in a font awesome enabled theme and comment it out for example in the header include file as having two font-awesome libraries may cause issues and the plugin installs its own font-awesome 5 library

Five: You mentioned a strict mode issue. Sorry, I really do not have the free time to focus on this nor a server with strict mode enabled at the moment to recreate this reported error, but, have you simply tried opening up the plugin file "myfontawesomeicons.php" in a text editor and finding:

	function myfontawesomeicons_install()
	{
		global $db;
        
                $db->add_column('forums', 'myfontawesomeicons_icon', 'TEXT NOT NULL');
	}

And changing to for example:

	function myfontawesomeicons_install()
	{
		global $db;

                $db->add_column('forums', 'myfontawesomeicons_icon', 'varchar(25) DEFAULT "fas fa-comments"');
	}

Does this make the aforementioned error on strict mode go away? Primarily all this does is set a default icon on install so in theory nullifying the error as there will be a default icon defined on install thus not causing a missing default definition error? Please let me know and I will consider this issue then resolved. Thanks.

Or if you do not want to do the edit yourself you can simply download Version 1.2 Build #8 https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?acti...9&bid=3692 that has only this aforementioned change in it.

Well the quote button dont want to work with me, but anyway I tried the second installment listed above, but instead of adding Default in the name there I added the Theme name whichI did not get an error when I created the forum however i'm still seeing the stars. Ugh, Don't worry Im not asking you to recreate the whole thing Just giving heads up on whats happening.. thank you and hope you all had a happy holiday and M, please I was only joking with you the million dollars.. I really had a crappy christmas this year grandmother passing away on the 19th and such, so.. if I seem to be grouchy or any shape of forum I apologies

You’re not the only one who had a bad Christmas. It’s not an excuse to be an arse to people who volunteer their spare time to help you.

That said: I’d say don’t be sorry, just don’t do it again.
