What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Hi, does this work if they make a normal post, but then edit their post to add a link?

Hi, does this work if they make a normal post, but then edit their post to add a link?

im not sure if that can be stopped. i had to edit the time of users to edit their post.
example: i had members posting 10 posts then coming back and edit each post and adding links. when i changed edit time to say 5 minutes they couldn't edit to add there link. im guessing you most likely have done or thought of that. just my 2 cents.

[ozzy47]

Yes it will not allow them to edit posts and add links. :)

[viper357]

Yes it will not allow them to edit posts and add links. :)
Awesome, thank you. :up::up::up:

Hi, I came across an issue today, when this mod is enabled it causes the RSS Feed Manager to stop working. When I run the scheduled task for the RSS Poster Robot it would show this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_array_gpc() on a non-object in /home/*****/public_html/global.php on line 22
With this mod disabled it would work fine. Would you be able to look into this at all? Thanks. :)

[ozzy47]

I'll check it out, I bet it is affecting the bot somehow.

Well TBH it is in your best interest, anytime you install a mod, to mark it as installed. :)

That's true, but usually I end up waiting for a bit before hitting the Mark as Installed. :p

[ozzy47]

Ahhh, but sometime people forget to come back and mark it, then they cry when there was a security update and they were not informed. :)

So any new features to come with this mod? I'm going to try and stay as active as I can now.

[ozzy47]

No, there are no new features planned at this time.
