Hello to all,
I have the installed Vbay and it works very well, I have translated everything into Spanish, but it is necessary to me to translate some words:

* Domestic
* worldwide

Where I have to translate them?



A greeting

You will need to search in your product-bay.xml for this..

and do a re-import with Allow Overwrite enabled.
You do this on your own risk..

it will be fixed in the next version.

HJow do i show the some of the "ending soon" auctions without the VBA module?

Or have the Admin view of all auctions available in the front end (less the delete option)

just seen your reply today
if you use vbulletin subst. you would have to look in class vB_Database_MySQLi
(to be found in file class_core.php)

but the easiest way would be:

PHP Code:

if(function_exists('mysql_insert_id'))
{
mysql_insert_id();
}
else if(function_exists('mysqli_insert_id'))
{
mysqli_insert_id();
}
else
{
print "system error message:xxxxxx";
// because it wont work if the id cannot be inserted..
} 


[Blaine0002]

$db->insert_id works.
I have fixed it already.

I apologise if my question sounds dumb but i just couldn't find anywhere on instructions to add categories, after a almost 1 hour of trying. I've tried searching around but just couldn't find out the steps to add categories into Vbay. Please help. Thanks!
