Really great if anybody could help me out here:-)

Anybody successfully managed to install Aggregator2 (CVS) in Drupal 4.6.3? What steps did you take?
Does Aggregator2 depend on other modules in order to work properly?
Do I have to disable/uninstall/drop tables/remove aggregator files before innstalling Aggregator2?

I can see a preview when creating a feed, but I get the following error-message when I submit:

ERROR MESSAGE
*******************
user error: Unknown column 'author' in 'field list'

I can afterwards see in the logs that the feed was succesfully created, but can't see the feed listed in:
/?q=admin/aggregator2

I did this about a month ago. I had to use CVS's ability to grab a snapshot of the module from sometime in mid September. I can't remember the date exactly.

I worked back through the CVS logs and checked out a version for each commit until I found one that worked. It's a pain, but it will work for you.

Good luck.

Aggregator2 works perfectly for me. Frankly, I didn't have to do anything special with 4.6.3.

I'm not sure what you mean by "depend on other modules." It works fine "out of the box."

For me, it co-exists with Aggregator just fine. I did not change the database schema at all.

Sorry, can't explain the problem you are having.

Check aggregator2.mysql file and compare fileds with the ones You have in Your database. Add the ones You're missing ("author" :).

Allright!

First rule of thumb (my mistake=):

read install.txt thouroughly, and what did I see:

It (module and the documentation) has changed from previous versions, in install-file it says copy the 2-module files into the ROOT of your modules directory (well, here lies the problem, previous versions of Agg2 required you to copy the entire Agg2-folder into your modules-directory, I thougt it still was like that).

Sorry for interruptions (I'll try avoiding such embarassing mistakes in the future)
