Maybe it is: https://developers.oxwall.com/store/item/1622

If you want to know what it does, what it doesn't do or if it does feel free to ask me

The OxWall store link with my PayPal account does not work very well ... With the sales of https://developers.oxwall.com/store/user-list/plugin/socialsumate that I now have, the same thing happens: you have to release the licenses manually.

In your case, I have already done so and can now download the plugin.

Thank you for your purchase and tell me what you want

a server error that not like upload the plugin or install it.


can bee:


database max limits or file upload limits.


how big are the databases in this plugin? 


is it load many tables or big tables when install it? and how big is this tables?

2. mysql error log

3. oxwall error log


and the last your php error log but i doubt find anything in that log

From what I've discovered, the tables that start with ow_base in oxWall in SkaDate start with ow_skadatebase.

I do not know why they will have made this name change because it does not provide any improvement and some plugins designed for OxWall will not work if the names are not modified.

no that is not true...i not have tables with that name? and i use skadate

Maybe it's another version of SkaDate, I don't know because I don't have that software, but this is a screenshot

Thank you. Tomorrow I will put both versions (SkaDate and OxWall) in the store, so that if someone buys it, install the one you need. I could make a single version since only the names of these 4 tables change, but I don't know a standard method to detect if one version or another is used. I will not update the version number because there is no change for OxWall users, no one has reported any malfunction, error or suggestion of extended functions.

I think he was change database name when install his skadate software or someone did.


Here you can see how a original skadate software should looking when it is installed


See provided screenshot.


You not need 2 versions if they use default skadate database name.


You can not change 100 versions for custom database names :)) but now at least his version works :)) normally oxwall and skadate have same database names and nothing worry about.

When you install OxWall it asks you if you accept the prefix ow_ in the tables ... I have never seen an installation in which nobody has put anything else, and maybe that could cause errors. Presumably SkaDate will do the same, because they are prone to put more things and not to simplify.

I think this is a useless possibility of being able to put another prefix because what matters is that it works. Each website also has its database and thus prevent possible collisions of table names with other scripts it seems to me as a very remote possibility.

As a plugin developer, I have to keep OxWall's philosophy regarding access to databases in my plugins and I do it as much as possible, but "Language Manager" is a system maintenance plugin and does things in the Tables that are not provided in the original DAO system of Language that have forced me to write new DAO routines with more features.

I could also have extended the functionality of the original functions and that is what a standard PHP programmer would have done but I have written my own, lighter, more optimized because functions that are not used are not loaded into memory. I do not know if this would have worked the first in SkaDate because neither I have nor there is Skadate documentation for developers ... Anyway, it is a plugin for OxWall and for OxWall it is 100% perfect

yes it possible put another prefix.... i agree....


and you can do that in "oxwall and skadate" they use same install process

After reviewing this topic I have decided to use the OW_DB_PREFIX constant that is defined in config.php and that is for this. In all my plugins I will do it from now on and when I edit them for whatever.
