[moonclamp]

Thanks for this ... however, something went wrong and even guests could see the "board offline" message at the top and still access the forums.

Could it be because I am still on 3.5.0 and using php5?

[Barakat]

Posiable for this to be ported to 3.6 (RC3 or gold)?

I have it on my 3.5.4 board and my staff loves it, going to be upgradeing to 3.6 here as soon as gold in released and still want to keep it.

[Snake]

Same here...

[Stoebi]

Hi,

i've uploaded 2 new archives with a little different in the readme.txt for 3.6.0,
but i can't reproduce your errors.

Which vBulletin version you use?
Please attach your global.php, if this error persists.

These archives are not working with vBulletin 3.5.x

Regards, Stoebi

[aveon]

im usin version 3.6.0

and here is the error i get

[Stoebi]

Hi

can't reproduce this with your global.php. I did the necessary changes to work with this addon.

It seems, another plugin doesn't work correctly.
Please send me your file adminfunctions_options.php from your includes folder. Will look into it.

Regards, Stoebi

Hey punks ;) i did some improvement to this hack, since i was having some errors when using it to vB 3.6.1, even with the updates stoebi posted...

So i decided to rewrite the code using the perfect vBulletin settings. Now its query-free. Just import this attached xml and make the changes in global.php that are listed in the original pack and you are done.

Its working like a charm in my vB 3.6.1

All the best.

[redspider]

thanks

[Cybershaolin]

Same here. Does it work with 3.6.4?

[andrefedalto]

have you tried this?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1084590&postcount=23

For me its working

[Cybershaolin]

I'll try it. Thanks.

[Cybershaolin]

Well the product is importing without any problem but when I want to change the code in global.php, the code asked to find is different than whaat I have in 3.6.4.

So what did you do with that code and what would be the right code to change it for in global.php with 3.6.4?

[stamos2003]

hmm it's not showing up to me on 3.5.5 ?!
