Should be sorted now, i had 1.00 as the version in vb.org and 1.0.0 in the xml, can you give it another go?

When I import the product xml file I get an error that says:


When I tried it the first time I just deleted that whole line.

Looking at another product file, I think your versioncheckurl should look like this:


I think maybe it's the '&' char that's causing a problem without the CDATA tags. Maybe using &pid= in place of &pid= would also work.

You were right with the chkurl, thanks!, i do have a problem though, the xml and everything work fine on my test forum but importing to my live forum and it doesn't show, i suspect that the hook that i tag my code on to is already being replaced by another mod - would that sound feasible?

It's possible - you used ".=" to append to the template hook (as you should), but it could be that another mod just used "=". If you have any other mods that add to the dropdown, you could disable them to see if it makes a difference.

Hmmm, they don't add a dropdown but do add to it in the same place.

I'm going to do those tests later, i'm off home to bed shortly - thanks for the help again, i'll report back here on my findings tonight.
