[insidedesign]

this no longer works.

I installed the widget, checked the settings, and then went to forum blocks and it was not listed to be added.

Alright, so it is listed as a widget in the CMS. So this plugin is poorly organized. It is a CMS widget, not a forum block.

[steven s]

this no longer works.

I installed the widget, checked the settings, and then went to forum blocks and it was not listed to be added.I use a similar widget and it stopped working with 6.0.5.
I reinstalled 6.0.4 and it is working again.

[patrick91]

I use it with 6.0.5 so far no problems but the latest added files in the block can only have 10cheracters???

[Vaupell]

the block can only have 10cheracters???

Check settings..

You can set how many characters is shown,
some sites (narrow) need low number of chars shown while sites
with wide design can use whole title name..

Admincp -> settings -> find the block in dropdown on right.

I installed this and put the block on my forum. Unfortunately, it does not show downloads but shows new posts instead... not sure what happened there.

any ideas?

[mmackinnon]

After making threads, pm'ing the creator with no response how do you suggest this mod be labeled as not supported?

It does not show the forum block at all!?

[Vaupell]

Anyway does is still marked for working in version 4.0.1 it have not
been updated for later version.. And if you havent had it preinstalled
before upgradeing to 4.0.7 then it wont work.

problem is vb changed the block type structure in the database dureing one
of the upgrades.. which causes it not to match anymore..

there is a "manual way to fix this issue"
but its a database edit...

instructions (using phpmyadmin):

Find the table .Blocktype look for HTML or PHP row..
122650
make a note of the number in blocktype

Then goto the table .block and find the row with latest files for downloads II
122651
click the edit sign, change the number to the one that matches your database.
click save, and it should work.
