Cannot import products
 

Hi, I have V-bulletin 4.0, and I am trying to install a new tabs hack. I tried to upload an XML file for VB 4.0, I enabled the plugin/hook system and when I go to:

Plugins & Products > Add/Import Product > upload the XML file from your computer (and press import)


I get the following message: Invalid File Specified

I also uploaded the XML files manually to my includes/xml folder on my server.

I do not see the control (To add new tabs, go to:
vBulletin Options> VBH New Tabs Option) for the hack in my admin cp.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

After you uploaded the file, did you enter the name of its xml file where it says: OR import the XML file from your server.

But it would be best to upload the mod xml file via the browser button instead btw.

I attempted to upload from my computer via the browser button and it went to a screen that says:

Please wait and then below that:

"Invalid File Specified."

What is the addon that you are trying to import?

vBH-Add new tabs

How exactly are you uploading it? As a whole? If you are, then that is the wrong way. Follow these steps:

1) Uzip the mod package

2)Upload the includes folder inside the mod folder to the includes folder in your forum directory.

3)Import the product-vbh_newtabs10.xml file through your Acp->Plugins & Products->Manage Products->[Add/Import Product]->EITHER upload the XML file from your computer. Click the browse button, locate the mod xml file (product-vbh_newtabs10.xml) and hit the Import button. And then configure the mod to your likings.

You can also reverse the order of the step 2 with 3 if you want.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, it worked. You know what I think I did wrong?

The folder contained two xml files:

(1) product-vbh_newtabs10.xml

(2) bitfield_vbhtabs.xml

I imported (2) when I should have uploaded (1).

The second xml file should go to the xml folder in the includes directory, hence being put in such a folder at the mod package. Anyway, glad to see that you got it solved.

One question: the plugin hook system MUST be enabled to use the hacks downloaded at this site, right?

Strange, when I unzip, all I see are two xml folders one underneath the other in the unzip window. You really helped me a lot though. Thanks again.

UPDATE: Never mind, I dragged the icons out of the window instead of extracting. I see the problem now.

The plugin hook system is enabled automatically when you import the plug in file.
