Fatal Error on install

Hrmmm. Are you downloading and installing the right version? Or have I goofed up the .install files?

Let me check and get back to you.

Yeah it's a major CVS oops on my part. I have uploaded the 6.x version of this module over the 5.x version.

You'll have to be patient and wait for me to get a chance to fix my oops sometime soon.

This is not yet fixed. I'm sorry, I'm very busy and have not yet been able to find the time to do this.

Okay quick fix for now:

Replace chatblock.install shipped with the 5.x version with the following including the php tags:

// $Id$

/*
 * Implementation of hook_install
 */
function chatblock_install() {
  switch ($GLOBALS['db_type']) {
    case 'mysql':
    case 'mysqli':
      db_query("CREATE TABLE {chatblock} (
                  message varchar(255),
                  username varchar(60),
                  timestamp bigint(14),
                  messageid int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
                  PRIMARY KEY (messageid)
                ) /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */;"
      );
      break;

    case 'pgsql':
      db_query("CREATE TABLE {chatblock} (
                  message text,
                  username text,
                  timestamp bigint,
                  messageid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY
                );"
      );
      break;
  }

}

/*
 * Implementation of hook_uninstall
 */
function chatblock_uninstall() {
  db_query('DROP TABLE {chatblock}');
  variable_del('chatblock_number_messages');
  variable_del('chatblock_get_url');
  variable_del('chatblock_ignore_user_1');
  variable_del('chatblock_refresh_rate');
  variable_del('chatboxlastmessage');
  variable_del('chatblock_show_logouts');
  variable_del('chatblock_show_logins');
  variable_del('chatblock_show_empty');
}


function chatblock_update_1() {
  $items = array();
  $items[] = update_sql("ALTER TABLE {chatblock} CHANGE timestamp timestamp BIGINT( 14 ) NULL DEFAULT NULL");
  return $items;
}

function chatblock_update_2() {
  $items = array();

  switch ($GLOBALS['db_type']) {
    case 'mysql':
    case 'mysqli':
      break;

    case 'pgsql':
      $items[] = update_sql("ALTER TABLE {chatblock} ALTER 'timestamp' TYPE bigint;");
      break;
  }

  return $items;
}

This is fixed in CVS. Since this is a devel module, please be patient to wait for the newest version to be included in the tarball (at most 12 hours from when I posted this).

Got this error on a freshly downloaded copy of chatblock

The tarball is still old, containing the installer of version 6
