2. Import XML product (product-adv_product_management_XXX.xml) using vBulletin standard product import tool.
3. Refresh menu panel to display Advanced Product Management link in Plugin System section

{optional} - Re-import product-adv_product_management.xml using APM import product tool, with Allow Overwrite = Yes
This step is inserting more information into the product.
* CAUTION: DONOT use APM to import product-adv_product_management.xml BEFORE step 2.

UPGRADE:
1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server (replace the old files
2. Import XML product with "Allow Overwrite" option checked
3. Enjoy!

HISTORY:
v1.0: Initial release
v1.1: Improve count queries, thanks to KirbyDE, some bugs fix

2005.10.02: version 2.0: Alot of improvement. After editting, redirect back to product manager

2005.11.05: version 2.0.3: change some function names, due to changes in vB3.5.1 / it may not work for 3.5.0

The dependancy in the XML is still wrong - you cannot install this on an RC2 board without editing it.

When you next do an update, it would be handy to include cron jobs associated with the product as that is now a feature of 3.6. :)

Another good addition would be the option to export a product xml in 3.54 format.

Thanks, been hanging out for this :)

Also, I second Paul M and JumpD's suggestions :)

I think you still can export the product, and it will still can be imported in 3.5.4 (in theory, I think). extra information will be ignored.

backward export/import wont do any good, as new features will be ignored, and hacks for 3.6.0 may not work for 3.5.4

An excellent product! This is the way the product manager should work.

As per request, CRON JOBS is now associated with the product are available in APM.

Have fun!

Right now, if you develop a hack on 3.6 it is a chore to edit the xml for 3.54. As with every upgrade many peeps will not be upgrading.

As far as hacks not having backward compatability. Well, I'm sure the author will know if it is or not and love to be able to export a clean 3.54 xml if it is.

BTW, the zip seems to refer to 3.0.3, but the text only refers to 3.0.2 ?

When updating APM, does it matter whether we use APM itself or the standard PM to re-import the product?

No, it doesn't matter.

Paul M - Thanks. I didn't think it did, but thought I'd better check. I just upgraded (using the APM), worked fine.

mtha - any chance we could get associated product XML at least displayed, and maybe the option to create a basic bitfield or cpnav skeleton? I don't expect full XML editing in the APM (yet!! LOL!), but it would be nice to at least have a table showing any associated XML files, and the ability to peek at them without having to jump on ssh or download them.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again .. this product rocks. I created my first new product with it yesterday (a bbcode to allow me to print vB options in posts), it took less than an hour to create the whole thing, complete with usergroup permissions, admincp options, plugin and phrasing. The APM was a huge time saver, especially for me as a relative newcomer to vB coding.

I have a whole heap of features I'd love to see added to the APM, but I'll save those for now, and try and come up with a coherent feature request list rather than just brain dumping! The product XML just came out top of the list from yesterdays experience.

Thank you once again for such a useful and (IMHO) much needed product.

Small little issue ...

If you forget to fill out the Version field when adding install / uninstall code, it doesn't throw any errors, and the feedback says the changes have been saved ... but they haven't.

-- hugh

cheesegrits

07-31-2006 04:57 PM

Another small issue ... and sorry about my post-fest today ...

When you update the ZIP with a new version, would you mind including the version number in the top level folder (AdvancedProductManager_303 or whatever)? And (as Paul M points out) change the version number in the text file?

It would just make product updating and housekeeping slightly easier. Which is, after all, one of the things the APM is all about. :D

mtha	08-01-2006 06:01 PM

I did it in rush for you guys, didnt actually have time to clean it up. it's kinda messy, isnt it? sorry 'bout that.
I will try to clean it up (... now right now :( )

Please, no apologies necessary! I'm just pointing out a few trivial issues.

Speaking of which. I do have one slightly more than trivial issue I just noticed with one of the projects in my list. It's a fairly large on (the first beta release of SirAdrian's vBlogetin). The APM outputs it fine, except that it truncates the output at the end of the first setting group.

The product has three distinct settings groups, but APM gets as far as the last entry in the first group, and stops there. It doesn't even print the content of the last entry in that first group, it just prints the title line.

There is no Save button, and the usual footer stuff (including the debug info) is missing as well.

I've tried APM on an equally sizeable product (PhotoPlog) which has a similar amount of plugins, phrases, templates, etc, and that works fine. So i don't think it's any kind of overall size limit.

I'm examining the product XML at the moment, to see if there is possibly something strange in the XML itself which might be getting APM's undies ina bundle.

More News When There Is News,

Another issue I've run across ... I don't know if this is APM, or a generic vB problem, but when I try and create a new template in a new product I'm working on, when it saves it tells me "Invalid product ID", even tho I have definitely selected my new product from the dropdown on the new template page.

I couldnt find vBlogetin on the site here, so cant test. anyway, I clean up and fix some table on vboptions. Try again and see if it is fixed.

If I try and add install code I just get an "Invalid Product Specified" error when clicking save.

Edit - this only seems to be if previous install code exists.
