Hello,

I get this email notification:

[MLM] Error inserting record from TrackClicktoDB()

1146: Table 'xxxxxxxxxxx.tbl_mlm_sub_clk_test' doesn't exist


Can anyone please tell me what this means.

What did I do wrong.

All help is appreciated

Regards,
Hans
 
I believe it may have something to do with my other posting regarding Templates not saving & your comment obout read-only folders.

I noticed that one template (& only one) did save. For some reason it looks blank on the Message tab but in Preview shows:
1146: Table 'xxxxxxxxxxx.tbl_mlm_sub_clk_test' doesn't exist

This then gets posted to self when the template is saved?!

Same error for me...

I'm getting the same error. I just upgraded and installed 7.6 with 2.2.2 yesterday. The error is "1146: Table 'actona6_aalm.tbl_mlm_sub_clk_test' doesn't exist" It repeats as an email message endlessly until I disable click-through tracking in MBM prefs. Other than the error everything seems to be working o.k. I've checked the db online and it's working o.k. I can subscribe and unsubscribe.
 
...that's the one!

...& I thought I was going insane. I have opened a ticket on this issue, so I hope it can be resolved (& made public) very soon.

Otherwise, this is the best emailing software I have come across in years ...& I have tested & bought a few...!!!

It has been more than a month since I heard for the first time of this error but nobody so far has provided any valuable info to get it reproduced here. This error happens with very few installations and I don't know the reason.

Note that I am the first one wishing to fix it.

Reinstalling MaxBulk Mailer has no relation with MLM. The two application works separately.

O.k. Here's the details of my experience.
I was unable to use the "install MLM" menu feature in MBM. It would not complete the install on my ISP's server. Close but no cigar. I also found it necessary to change the hostname to "localhost" because I was unable to communicate with the server until I made that change. Once I did I was able to run the INIT command and the database and tables were created without any problems. I used the "recipients/upload to server" command to upload a double opt-in list I collected through iContact (I'm soooo done with them!) to the new mysql db. That worked fine. I also added a second db of ongoing customers that are not double opt-in and I segregate for that purpose. A short while after uploading the db's I began receiving error message emails that said "1146: Table 'actona6_aalm.tbl_mlm_sub_clk_test' doesn't exist" The time between messages varied from 20-30 seconds to 10-12 minutes. I began to wonder if something I was doing locally on my computer was provoking it. I was in the middle of creating an HTML based email to send to a sub-set of my double-opt-in list. The emails continued to ring-in until I had 17 of them. At that point I decided I had to take action to stop them so I went into preferences in MBM and deactivated "click through tracking" which was set on automatic. The error emails ceased immediately after that.
This morning after a restart I reactivated "click through tracking" and I haven't gotten any more error emails so far. I have not been able to send a test message either to see if tracking is working but hopefully it will be o.k.

I guess my question is wouldn't the INIT command have created the table for all the data it needed at the same time it created the db file?

I downloaded the update and installed with no problems. Now however it seems all my tracking is gone. I sent a small group of messages (15) and tracking is not working for any of them. I did reactivate the tracking option in the prefs, but it seems not to have worked. Any suggestions on a course of action?

I didn't say "deleted the tracking data". I said "reactivated the tracking option" in the MBM preferences. I had turned it off originally when I began to get the stream of error emails. Once I uploaded and installed the new version of lm.functions.php I turned the "click through tracking" pref back on so MLM would track when recipients had received and opened messages.

So to reiterate...at this point the new message that I sent out has no tracking data. This message was sent after I installed the new lm.functions.php patch. Nothing shows up in the tracking window at all. No message, no data. Older messages still do but not the new one.
