Installing custom mod on 7.2 error issue

Fatal error: Call to undefined method BxCustomInstaller::addHtmlFields() in /home/public_html/website/modules/boonex/custom/install/installer.php on line 30

I have a custom version of groups module that I am trying to install on 7.2, basically just a renamed groups module.

After trying to do basic install I get the error above.

Any ideas what would need changing to make this work with 7.2?

noticed also after attempting to install this module (not installed, still shows as uninstalled in manage modules'

in admin - members, I now have a message running across the middle of screen that was not there before!

<div style="width: 80%">You are not currently an active member. Please ask the site <a href="mailto:{7}">administrator</a> to make you an active member so you can use this feature.</div>

this is when logged in as admin.

doesnt look like it could be related to the failed module install in any way, but this was not there before trying to install it!

tell a lie, 2nd error appears on any install of D7.2 I do...

lets try starting at the beginning - how exactly did you make your clone of the Groups module?

This certainly isn't from stock Dolphin. I remember a customer having this issue, and it was caused by a third-party module. Can't remember which one, but run a search for that text.

the 2nd 'error'/glitch is a 3rd party module. Thats ones isolated so I know what causes it.

the other one, was a clone of 'groups' module, albeit from 7.1.6 simply renamed throughout as something else.

Fully working on previous version.

Just need to figure out what needs to be changed in old version of 'groups' in order to be able to install it and run it on 7.2...

You need to modify install/installer.php file in the module, by removing or commenting out the following lines:

    function install($aParams)
    {

        ...

        // $this->addHtmlFields (array ('POST.desc', 'REQUEST.desc'));
        // $this->updateEmailTemplatesExceptions ();

        ...

    }

    function uninstall($aParams)
    {

        ...

        // $this->removeHtmlFields ();
        // $this->updateEmailTemplatesExceptions ();

        ...

    }

thanks, will give that a try later

worked a treat thanks.

I just encountered this same issue as well.  Came here and found the solution, THANKS Alex.

Although this is a fix, but I was wondering exactly why does that line need to be commented out?  For better understanding purposes? 

Or anybody?
