This step is inserting more information into the product.
* CAUTION: DONOT use APM to import the product itself (product-adv_product_management.xml) BEFORE step 2.

1. Did you upgrade the hack, or install new?
2. Did you use vBulletin's standard import tool to import the product file (install)?

You may use APM to import itself, if that case, please try:
" Import XML product (product-adv_product_management_XXX.xml) using vBulletin standard product import tool."

[Michael Biddle]

Does this have the version checker? I know the last one did not.

[Michael Biddle]

Also not working on my RC1. The cpnav is not working correctly. It is showing the *[]*

[MrZeropage]

This is a MUST HAVE for every vBulletin-Admin, THANKS for the upgrade to vB 4.0 ! :)

But I don't get the cpnav-XML working, it just shows an empty new settingsgroup instead of adding the APM-options to the product-section ... ?

@MrZeropage try this cpnav.xml file.
Hasann, you upload the same file I have, isnt it?
when do you get the error? during the APM installation? or when you're updating? as I install the hack on a new board fine, without error.

the apm_releasedate column (and others) should be created during the installation process. Could you try to uninstall/install the hack? using VB's standard product import tool and see if it works.

[Michael Biddle]

I am on the alpha team so I have RC1, I was just letting you know that it worked other then the cpnav.

As for the cpnav, I took the above one, and it seemed to work out.

still no dirrent with vb 4 beta 4 not working

[micheal332001]

still no dirrent with vb 4 beta 4 not working

It dose work if you put the includes folder from the old version in and use the new admincp files.

so download this version for vb3.7.X
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=197071

and upload only the includes folder.

Then download this new version for vb 4.0 and only upload the admincp files and use the vb4.0 product.xml file to install.

Thats how i got mine to work, and its all working fine now.

it is compatible with this hack.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1927052#post1927052

you need to make that modification in Check Version hack to make it work


Btw. the zip file is updated with the "clean" version of navcp.

[messengermatt]

This needs to work with vb4 out of the box not with some old files added :S

[mtha]

sorry, but i don't know what you mean?

i just said above, that the zip file is updated with the clean cpnav file, which should be good.

1. installed new.
2. yes i did it.


@MrZeropage try this cpnav.xml file.

confirmed bug on Blog and CMS. Never look at cms and blog code, so i have no idea what's going with those two yet.

anyway i will take a look at those next week.

[SemperFideles]

Outstanding modification. This ought to be a default feature. Well done.

[meissenation]

Holy s**t! This is the first time I've used this product even though I've seen it in the thread listing since I started using 3.5.x and WOW... amazing.

[manofphat]

Is this fully functional on 4.0.2?

Just installed on my testboard, nice work.

However, for some reason the layout is a bit messed up in this mod. Anything I can do? (check attachment for a screenshot)

Thanks.

[War.Frog]

Wow, this looks like a FANTASTIC mod. How is this stuff not built right into the product!?

Tagged for install post-4.02 upgrade!

[thincom2000]

Several bugs:

This doesn't purge the type cache when products are disabled/enabled. In turn, causes database errors when turning on/off products with their own content types (e.g. vBulletin Blog or vBulletin CMS). See the current plugin.php for the appropriate code to handle this. As seen in that file, blocks also need to be rebuilt.

It's also possible you need to update the import/export to handle grids, blocks, etc.

[gamerfu]

I am using 4.0.5 and AME does not display Release Date nor the Install Date.

Any ideas why?

Both fields are blank. :(

[thincom2000]

It's possible AME's author didn't use APM or didn't bother filling in these fields before exporting the product.

[KURTZ]

simply AWESOME product! Installed/Rated/Nominated!

[icemann]

Working fine on 4.0.5 :cool:

[KURTZ]

Working fine on 4.0.5 :cool:

yes, but needs an improvement, the possibility to enable/disable more than one product simultaneously ...

[Fraxter]

If i add a template to a product i get always
Invalid Product Specified
The templatet were created, but it's not integrated in the plugin.

vB 4.0.5

Make i something wrong?

[Boofo]

You need to set which product it is for. vBulletin is the default.

[Michlerish]

Installed and seems to be working in 4.0.6

Thanks :)

[Fraxter]

You need to set which product it is for. vBulletin is the default.

I did that of course. First i created the template and after that comes the error message. The template is there, but's not specified to the addon.

These bugs still haven't been addressed. It drives my clients mad whenever they install/enable/disable mods using this. It also breaks functionality in the default vB Suite.

every time you view vbCMS or vbBlog PHP throws an error message you got that error to ? i think it's being caused by outdated code in apm_options.php and apm_product.php while i'm digging anyway i'll see if i find a way around

[Boofo]

I'm not getting any errors when I view CMS or Blog php code.

[Delphiprogrammi]

I'm not getting any errors when I view CMS or Blog php code.

try to view it's settings through apm it's throwing PHP errors about a function call to bitwise();(/includes/functions_misc.php) "fixed" also when you view vbblog settings tghrough apm it displays some blank phrases yet apm_options.php?do=options&dogroup=vbblog works normal

[Boofo]

Maybe post the fixes for those who are having the same issues?

[Delphiprogrammi]

Maybe post the fixes for those who are having the same issues?

Sure to correct the error about a bitwise() function call make sure this is there in apm_product.php


require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');


to correct the error about empty phrases in vbblog in apm_product.php add cpuser to the $phrasegroups array

[Boofo]

I have not run into these issues but I added the stuff to the apm_product.php file, anyway, just in case. ;)

[Delphiprogrammi]

Boofo,

I'm trying to fix the broken collapse/expand stuff.This has changed from the way it whas done in the past.I just don't understand there seems to be a css thrick involved i admit i'm not the best with css.You always seem to find your way around things do you have *any* idea how to fix that stuff ? i'm just to stupid to find how :o and if it's displaying 100+ of templates it's a nice thing to have

[Boofo]

Look in my User CP Referral ID and Referrer/Referrals in Profile for vB 4 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243455) mod as see if that helps you. I added the collapse/expand to that a little while back. If you still can't get it after that, let me know in PM and I will take a look at it for you.

Thanks Boofo i saw something in that code i didn't know about i will try it on my "/testvb/" before i screw things up hower i have this thought the addiotional.css template isn't processed in the AdminCP i might be wrong we'll see

Let me know what you find out. ;)

[Delphiprogrammi]

Let me know what you find out. ;)

the code like this


vb:raw relpath#top
it is producing raw putput same goes for "vbcollapse.collapseimg"' stuff looks like this is not processed in the AdminCP but couldn't that be replaced since relpath is only what comes behind the domain eg

$vbulletin->path;

but since touching that stuff can create security related holes i rather leave it alone

[Boofo]

Have you tried adding the full path instead?

[Delphiprogrammi]

Have you tried adding the full path instead?

i whas about to try that till i got interrupted by a woman :D:p so in the img tag put the full path and in the a tag just #top but i highly doubt that will work maybe with the $vbcollapse variable

[Delphiprogrammi]

hi,

I give up this bloody thing just doesn't work it looks like it's changed so you can only do this with templates the old way was so much easier

There would be no way to know what files are used by what mod. Files aren't listed anywhere in the xml files.

This mod needs to be updated to handle the navigation stuff in vB 4.2.0. It does not save any navigation items when exporting.
