Hello good peoples of vB. I could use your help if you would be so kind. I am new to installing mods and such to the forums even though I have been an admin for years. Sad, I know but, usually someone else did it.

Is there a way someone could guide me through the installation or point to a thread that shows how to install it? :D

Start with the manual: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/import_product , then look in the package or the first post for specific instructions.

Thanks for the help Videx. I did upload the XML file as shown and it didn't work. I know it has got to be something simple I am not doing. I am just not sure what it is. Any other help would be appreciated. :D

That's pretty vague. Did you have any trouble setting the options? Does it appear in Installed Products? Link to a page where it should appear? Have you read back through all 17 pages to see if someone else had the same trouble and fixed it?

Yes, it is a tad vague. I'll give you that. :D
Here is the deal: I uploaded the XML file inside the admin cp as directed. It does show up in the installed products, just not the forums. I did not read through seventeen pages as I really didn't think that was necessary. I may have been wrong! :D

I am not trying to be a pain in the ass here! I am just trying to learn and as it is Friday, our coder is off doing coder things. I just wanted to see what I did wrong. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for the help though. :D

Yes, one of the least fun parts about installing mods is slogging through all the pages. But it's necessary. For one, many mods simply don't work, and you won't know unless you read all the pages (posts telling you it doesn't work quickly get buried by noobs asking why it doesn't work!).

Anyway, check your settings in AdminCP. You didn't mention that above, so it could be something simple like you have it turned off.

Oh how I wish it was a simple thing like I had it turned off! Tis not. I'm not retarded, just new to the whole thing. I'll figure it out :D

Great Mod....installed it last night and loving it so far :)
I have some suggestions...to add to the chatbox :D

1. Easy access to EDIT, DELETE and other moderating commands.
2. A PM option will be great
3. Notification on new messages and new threads
4. Also a minimum number of characters needed to send a message

I dont know if these have been mentioned before. There is a whopping 55 pages O.o to go through :D
Hope to see the above implemented

One problem, can anyone help? Everything works fine except when a member first logs in it will keep saying loading and never actually load the chat. If you click to another area in the forum all is well but if you try to enter something into chat while it is stuck loading, it says this..

shows up as

19 colors listed, 20 show up in the box and at completely random order. The default color isn't even specified in the list.


This really doesn't make any sense. Where am I going wrong?


Also, is there a way to have the smilies listed in order and not randomly when clicking the smily button?
