2 months and no updates... Someone should just cut the crap and release this in SourceForge or something. This is getting ridiculous.

Every install I attempt goes through, however the operation of vbms fails.

I have looked all over the zip for a file that it seems to be calling for but there is no file in the zip by that name. I even looked in old version of Filburt1 zip and do not see the file. The file being looked for by vbms is called vbms_cron.php. Not to be found.

Bellow Here is what my host is telling me.

Hi,


The file you are trying to process in cron is not in the directory indicated by the URL.


root@leto [/home/stargaze/www/includes/cron]# ls -al vbms_cron.php
/bin/ls: vbms_cron.php: No such file or directory
root@leto [/home/stargaze/www/includes/cron]#


Please upload vbms_cron.php into the cron directory and this should work for you.


Thank You,

Some status-update would be nice.
Does the install-method of v3.6 differ that much from 3.5?

I am able to manually install on 3.60, seems to work. I only have some trivial bugs, such as deleting an empty folder will give you a scalar error; strangely you hit back in the browser and attempt to delete it again, it works. I am also so far not able to display the set options properly. They are inserted in the db, but when you visit the page again, none are checked, and the forward $key is always displaying "Warning: value for replyforwardprefix not specified and no constraint type defined"

I still need to import the FAQ

got the filters and the options to work.

in vbms_filters.php

I simply replaced the $_POST call with (last line only)

i did the same thing with the options by adding a hidden input in the templates and doing a

This does not seem too complicated to fix.

I even added a private calendar link :-)

What do you mean by manually install? How long did it take and how easy was it? .. and is it something you could share?

The problem is the phrasetype table structure is not the same from 3.54 to 3.60
I had xml error from the very first line of the install. So what I did, I opened the xml and ran the queries one by one in php admin, simply changing {tp} with my prefix. Once all the tables were created and the inserts done (a matter of minutes), I imported the templates xml from the upload styles input.

Did the same for the phrases. That took a couple of minutes.

The biggest headache is the settings. I had to do them one by one, but it's only 14 of them. You need also to set the settinggroup (1 entry with phpadmin)

Then the fun begins. I replaced all $DB_Site with $db (just a search and replace for all the files).

Then within the php, some changes are needed, around $_POST calls. I introduced a hidden input in the templates and instead of if(!empty($_POST)) I made it if ($_REQUEST['do']=='addfilter') for example, and that took care of the checkboxes not displaying the updates.

Did the same thing in vbms_new.php

I would say I have it 90% working on 3.60. I still have that annoying error when deleting an empty folder. But if you go back and do it, then it is fine.

The solution posted earlier by MPDev took care of making the html emails clean.

For some reasons, it sends double emails.

I am still sorting out the very 2 or 3 remaining issues.

I really don't know what was filburt1 problem. I am no way near the masters of this site, but am able to sort the issues, which so far seems to be insignificant.

Thanks Lionel :)

I'll take a look this weekend and see what I can do .. if you could keep us updated with and changes that would be great, thanks again :D

Like I said before, I got this 97% working on 3.60. I am receiving, sending, getting email notifications about new mail received, create filters, folders etc...

Only the faq remains to be imported from the xml and the only bug left is deleting the empty folder. The function api_safe_call seems to be checking only for folders with messages. But what is stranged, after I get that database error, I simply hit back in browser and am able to delete empty folder this time. Same step at first try gives me a database problem.

Awesome! Thanks Lionel! I can't wait to try installing it - do keep us updated.

Thanks a lot,
-Josh
