Ok cant see this anywhere but it probably is me a bit thick.

The modules! In the release/vba_modules folder I see .module files, but how do I install them please?

just a point this is superb what I have tried!

Ok I take it that I dont install the files mentioned above it's the plugins? Installed the tag cloud and film strip, activated them and I cant see either of them showing up. Any idea's please www.britmovie.net/britforum

Thought it may be the template but same with default!

I can move the statistics to different blocks if that proves anything?

The .module files are installed using the vbulletin/admincp/vbadvanced pages. There's a section there labelled download/upload module.

As far as I can see, you haven't added any entries to your LDM yet (apart from the standard test links), so there is nothing for the tag cloud and filestrip extras to display.

For example, the tag cloud is built using the keywords you associate with your LDM entries - there are none so it doesn't bother showing anything.

I'm getting a lot of these errors now:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Any idea? I do have mod_security installed on apache.

These errors are generated by the new CSRF security features in vbulletin 3.7 and 3.6.10. As far as I know, the new LDM release deals correctly with the security interface. I suggest you start by checking your templates - If you still have modified versions of old versions of templates installed, then it is possible that this is the cause of the problem.

Andrew have the early issues been fixed now and its' therefore safe to upgrade?

As far as I know, 2.2.9 is stable and reliable, provided you use the separate version of includes/local_links_include.php rather than the version in the zip file. There are no reported problems which have not been resolved. (Of course, having said that, there will no doubt now be a flurry of bug reports...)

Cheers - I assume we need to make a note of which modules we have installed first so as to make sure that we reinstall the same ones?
