Ok - I have another demo site (3rd site) I use for testing. I was able to do the following:


1. Upload and install the ARI Quiz Lite. Works with no problems.

2. Uninstall and reinstall and it shows up in the components menu.

3. Upload the Blazemaster data fields to the demo, uninstall the software and then reinstall.

Thus, on another demo site, I cannot reproduce any of the problems as they exist on the test server (dynamicwebs.com/~blazemas) or the live site.

The demo site I created is very basic joomla install.

Is there something about the Test/Live site that has another feature installed that could be conflicting?

We have found the reason of problem. It seems that uninstall process was interrupted and Joomla! didn't clear all necessary records from database because you can't install new version of the component. Run the following SQL query on your server for fixing this issue:

If i run this on the live site, won't that destroy and erase all the database info that we have for our current quizzes?

DELETE FROM jos_components WHERE `option` = 'com_ariquizlite'

No, it's only delete Joomla! system info for "ARI Quiz Lite" component. This information will be restored after install the component. We have run this query on your test server and you can see that now it shows your previous quizzes normally.

ok - that fixed the install issue. I tried the upgrade and it made things worse for this site. The original developer has what appears to be numerous hacks. Trying to upgrade, blew out the modifications he made to the site pages. It appears he must have greatly modified either some of the css files are other php files.

Instead of a full re-install, do you have a list of critical files I could upgrade on the old site?

I'm going to submit another ticket for ARI Quiz 1.0.

It will be called "User Quiz stops, won't proceed to next quiz".

Please help me address this next issue now that the program and site are fully functional.

Thank you.

We can't say which files you need to replace because we don't know which custom work you did. You can use a tool for comparing files from the latest version of the component and files for the component which are located on your server for finding difference between files and merging them. Araxis Merge is a good tool for this purpose, but it's commercial tool. If you need non-commercial tool, you can try to find it.
