this mod has also messed up my admincp

Make sure that you've uploaded all of your files correctly in the correct paths, The vBulletin system can't find the vBFoster classes.

vBFoster doesn't make any changes into the admincp, There's a wrong paths issue in your forum, You need to make sure that you've /core in your forum URL to let vBulletin load the css files.

That error comes up even with the files uploaded to the correct folders.

The only way to get rid of the error is to remove /core/packages/vBFoster.

this is where your pacjage is placed, i used the autoconfig script do deal with the correct paths when installing beta 10

does your script rely on any MYSQL version ?, are your queries compatible with MySQL Version 5.5.23-55 ?

/core/packages/vBFoster.

I can't reproduce any issues like that, I need to check if further, Can anyone of you guys PM me with admincp and ftp info ?

Thank you :)

i have removed it, due tot he fact as soon as i put your product into /core/packages
is when i get the problems started

the second i import the product, the admincp and the forum display the what my screenshots show

these are just multiple mods for vb3 and vb4 now in one mod for vb5

vBFoster in general a set of new features in just a one click installation, Learn More about vBFoster here : http://www.vbfoster.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1

All of these modifications are our own modification since the first version of them :
Advanced Editor : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=264219
Hide Links : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228228
Spam Manager : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=282855 ... etc.

And vBFoster is already released for vB4 and that's the upgraded version of it, I really don't know what you exactly want, We are upgrading our own modifications and codes from vB4 to work with vB5 like any other coder do :)

I've tried a fresh new installation of vB5 and I can go to the extensions list without any error, Screen-shot attached.

Remember that vBulletin itself is in beta stage and the extensions system was contain a bug I found it when I was developing the first beta of vBFoster in the same place which has been fixed in one of the vBulletin alpha versions : http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-3112 I don't know if you have the access to it or not.

So any one have the same error please send a PM to vBFoster account, And sorry for my late reply :)
