I like the looks of this alot, but

I dont have and dont necessarily want HTL

so

in your readme file, you talk about importing the XML files.

Could you explain, how

I dont see options to import any of them other then to replace existing templates, which is not what I want to do, I assume.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thank you

Check your database if table language contains a column phrasegroup_vbbugs and if table phrasetype contains a record where fieldname=vbbugs. If so: delete that and try again.

> - When someone submits a bug it doesn't show in the list of bugs to moderate (admin CP).
It does only show up there if it's not online. So if your default online-status is yes they new bugs won't show up there.

> - In the 'Last Reply' column, the time goes off the table on low resolutions (tested at 600x800).
I've never seen such a resolution so far?

All other problems mentioned so far should be fixed (except the CSS-class change, as it looks just fine with the default style).

any possible way to make it so that the

system administrator gets a email when there is a new
bug posted .?

This is planned for future versions.

Here, I'll show you it. I sometimes see this. Other times I'll refresh the page or revisit it and it'll look fine.

Anybody??

I just have to say, for your first hack this is very proffessional looking and fantastic. I've been put in charge of setting up a helpdesk for our company to use to report faults with IT equipment, and up until now it looked like i was going to have to use the VB2 helpdesk, which although very good, lacked the extras that VB3 has to offer. But i've just installed this using HTL (another great timesaving hack) and it's working a treat.

thanks for the great hack :D

Installing this manually is a bit tricky

Phrases
----------
SELECT MAX(phrasetypeid) + 1 AS max FROM phrasetype WHERE phrasetypeid < 1000
Note down this value
INSERT INTO phrasetype (phrasetypeid, fieldname, title, editrows) VALUES (phrasetypeid, 'vbbugs', 'vB-Bugs', 3)
Where phrasetypeid must be replaced by the value you noted down.
ALTER TABLE language ADD phrasegroup_vbbugs MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL

Then import the phrases xml file "overwriting" an existing language. This won't (well, at least it shouldn't) kill other phrases in this language as type is phrases

Templates
-------------
"Overwrite" an existing style.

Settings
----------
Here you are out of luck, as vB's default functions do not allow to import custom settings - this would kill almost all vB standard settings.
You would have to go into debug mode to manually add the setting group and the settings according to the information in the XML-File. Or add them directly to the database.

Hmm ... could be a browser issue as I don't seem to be able to reproduce that.
Which browser do you use?

So basically, it's not such a simple txt file as the title says :p Thank you for your honesty.

I want this, so I guess I'll download and install HTL tonight, then this hack.

Thank you and have a good one

The title is right - the textfile contains only VERY simple/basic instructions on how to install this manually ;)
