Hello, thanks for the MOD. I have a question/concern on the 0777 CHmod though.

Should I be concerned about giving that permission out in my sites directory? I have people in my ear telling me I am taking a huge risk, I would just like to hear it from the guys who actually know. Thank you for information you can give me on this concern.

It's only a security risk if you have given people Can Administer Products nilly-willy or in some other way have allowed someone access to that folder via FTP or SSH.

For the most part, it's entirely harmless.

The same goes for the /clientscript/vbulletin_css folder - it's recommended to CHMOD that to 0777 and set the "Store CSS Stylesheets As Files" to Yes :)

Alright thanks. I have not given anyone those rights, its a new site.

:up:

Hello all, was hoping I could run this by some of you for advice.

I followed the Read Me directions to what I believe to the letter, but I'm obviously not.

Using WS_FTP, I uploaded the "Upload" folder into my forum's directory (Forums) and set the CHMOD to 0777 (read,write,execute). When I try and import the 'product-dbtech_vbshout' I get the error message...

Can someone point me to the right direction in resolving this? I also tried uploading the file directly to 'public_html'. Same error.

I really appreciate any help at getting this great MOD on my website. Thanks

As per the readme, it's the contents of the upload folder that needs to go in your forum's directory (Forums) :)

Correct. The files are all showing to be in the forum directory. I just went back and one by one installed each file from the 'upload' folder into the directory. Still get that same error.

Could you please link me to your site?

Sorry for the delay, and thank you for your time. My backup I loaded didnt take well, and I now have a fresh copy and have to start over, sadly. Lot's of work lost, but I learned from my mistake for sure.

I would still love to get this MOD loaded, it looks awesome.

I don't have a redirect setup yet, as the site is very new. It's under 'forums'.

Thank you.

This returns a 404. You need to correct that before you can proceed with install :)

I dumped my website, and started over. Reloaded your upload folder, and imported '38' again.

It worked.

When I get it installed on a working website (I lost everything), I will rate you and promote highly. Thank you, I'm sure I and my members will love this.
