Yes!

Thank you

newbie question I know.. but where do I change that This is a forum by vbulletin etc etc that is set as the default in the thread description

Acc. to Thread Description Options by Login to Admin CP > Forums & Moderators > Choose Forum Manager or Add New Forum > see Screenshots [ https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...2&d=1163946067 ]

No, I want to change the wording.. I cant find where to change the default wording just incase they dont input a description

I don't understand you.

???

when making a new thread, inside the "Description" box, there are the default text saying " This is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To find out about vBulletin, go to http://www.vbulletin.com "

How can I delete this text, because when someone doesnt enter in a description, this will appear in that area.

Trying to update the product returns

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 8

Is there a way to do this yet as I would like for it to be left blank if nobody puts a desciption in the box.

Test on my forum, left it blank, it working find, no text saying Check your forum...

When trying this for 3.6.4 I get the message that:

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.6.4
File version: 3.6.3

Is this easily fixed?

dont understand: runs or not on 3.6.4? :confused:

Very nice - Thanx for the screenies ;)
Thanx for the mod as well - been looking for something like this!
Excellent!

Jacquii.

To answer is as best as I can, as of the moment this does not work on Vbulletin 3.6.4 due to some changes in the code. It will probably take a few days before a new, updated version comes along.

ok thx, i'm waiting for new release :)

Hey TRANSIBUS - I had a similar issue with 3.5.x.... I downloaded the readme.zip, commented out all of the executionorder="5"...

Find and remove:

Then reimport the plug in...

Hope this helps!

Jacquii.

Is it possible to do search in thread description? Thanks for this.

thx TrucLinh!

already INSTALLED on 3.6.4 and works like a charm :D

You are welcome.

Thanks alot. This is nice!

A couple of suggestions:

1. Don't rar the file please, leave it as zip
2. There is no need to upload the XML product file via ftp. You can use the product upload via the admin CP
3. The description on the main thread here is far too confusing, it has too much information that is hard to follow. Can you simplify the process and give upgrade instructions?

Thanks and aside from these little things this is an excellent mod.

Edit... NM simply had to remove the program and reinstall it and the error went away.

when installed your mod interferes with unread posts. When uninstalled it break the undread post function by deleting a required table field. This is a dangerous bug and I hope you fix it because now I am having to go and manually fix my forum to fix your bug

Edit:

looks like your mod removes a required field:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...iew&bugid=1218

I think if you alter your xml file to not include:

and:

This might work because completed has to have a default of not null to work and you are altering it to change to null as the default. You also can not remove this field

The uninstall code of this mod is removing a default vbulletin field from the search table - this should be fixed asap and people informed to upgrade (and not to uninstall this product until they have). You should also remove the code in the install section that adds this field - the field should already be present in a 3.6.4 installation.

Edit: This has now been fixed by the author.

thanks alot working fine for me :D

There is also another bug for 3.6.4. When you want to edit a message by using the Edit (modifiy) button and if you decide to go in advance mode, you will get a DB error such as:
