Take for granted that you use unmodified code and that is not the problem.

Check if you have these fields in database:

".$db_prefix."panels, panel_display
".$db_prefix."settings, news_style

If you don't have them, then you cam add them by previewing this code in a custom page:

<?php
$result = dbquery("ALTER TABLE ".$db_prefix."panels ADD panel_display TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER panel_access";
$result = dbquery("ALTER TABLE ".$db_prefix."settings ADD news_style TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER opening_page";
?>

Go to a custom page and paste the code in a custom page. Then hit preview and you get the tables added.

You can preview in a panel as well. Leave out the php tags:

$result = dbquery("ALTER TABLE ".$db_prefix."panels ADD panel_display TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER panel_access";
$result = dbquery("ALTER TABLE ".$db_prefix."settings ADD news_style TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER opening_page";

Sounds like you didn't upgrade completely at some point. Did you just update from a previous version and did you follow the readme carefully for your latest update?

Since some tables are missing, maybe you grabbed a wrong download?

If you don't have a lot of content added to your site, then i would suggest that you flushed the entire installation, downloaded a fresh copy of latest PHPFusion and then go for a fresh install.

Hello,
I think that the problem is that you don't have CHMOD 777 the folders that you had to CHMOD 777! Can you check that? When that isn't the problem, try to replace the file news.php in the root folder (Use the CVS Browser on this site for the most actual file). If that don't fix your problem, maybe you are using mod's for an earlier PHPFusionversion, that aren't compatible with the newest version? If so, you must replace the modificated files and replace them with the original files. Try these actions, and when you aren't able to fix the problem, we are here for you!!

A happy 2007,
Filip
