i thought this was a problem with 1.8 so i switched to 2-dev but no luck.
FieldException: Attempt to create an instance of a field field_simpleads_groups that doesn't exist or is currently inactive. in field_create_instance() (line 474 of C:\xampp\htdocs\byblogdivalabs\modules\field\field.crud.inc)
my first few attempts were with 1.8 and i thought it was a problem with it clashing with CLASSIFIED ADS. i cleaned the DB from both modules, deleted them and then installed DEV of SimpleAds and no go.
i see "field_field_simpleads_groups" in the FIELD_CONFIG table; which is a taxonomy term reference. in the FIELD_CONFIG_INSTANCE table, i see name_field and description_field for the taxonomy term.
the only FIELD_DATA and FIELD_REVISION tables am seeing for SimpleAds are for groups. all the other simpleads tables (blocks, clicks, impressions, stats) are there.
am on Drupal 7.22 running this on a local XAMPP dev environment.
Closed: won't fix
