That'd be the best way, it has the module built in.

Otherwise your gonna have to do some mods by hand.

yes you need vBadvanced to get the sideblock.

Out of curiosity, how does the way this pulls data from another website differ from my sports or weather module pulling data from a site? I am trying to trouble shoot why I can't get this data to download into my database. I am wondering if that's the problem, or if my webhost is blocking needed ports.

The cronjob add is a two fold system, during install it tells you whether or not you will be able to use this hack because it pulls the data in the same way that PayPal talks to your server, through port 80 HTTP calls. If it fails, you cannot use the system because Paypal will not be able to talk to your server at all. The second function is during actual use, it updated the exchange rates for the system daily so that should you use the exchanges they are calculated properly for that day.

If the cronjob cannot talk via port 80 via standard HTTP calls, then paypal's verification servers will not be able to talk to your server either, effectively nullifying your ability to use this system.

I wish there was something that I could do to fix that, but alas, I cannot.

Man, I thought you could do anything.

Well, you could hobble something together yourself, but it'd be way more work, vBadvanced is about a 10 minute install then a whole new world of things to add on.

I'm just about out of things to add on. I have every hack on this site that was remotely useful installed, about 65 of them.

I'm gonna get bored now.

Hey folks, just a quick note to let you know that if you have been running into errors on install or uninstall, I've created the fix, and updated the zip file here on vb.org.

Just overwrite everything if you are having problems and then uninstall and then install again.

Yes, this should even work for 3.0.6 as well...but I don't know.

Anyway, this should fix all the problems we've had with the initial release of this.

For those problems I apologize, I really didn't plan for those issues because we didn't run into them across the four servers we played with this on.

Forgive me, anyway, please let me know if there are any more problems with this release!

Now see, if I was really a jerk, I'd ask what a "quick not" was.

<Dennis runs off laughing hysterically>

I promise, I'm completely sober, just in a really good mood.

picky brat LOL

Yeah, but in this situation, picky is what ya need.
