3. Q: When I try to install this, I get "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line xxx".
   What am I doing wrong?
   A: You are trying to import the XML as a Plugin which is wrong. It must be imported as a Product (ACP / Plugin System / Manage Products).
4. Q: Why does this Hack not work?
   A: Although it is possible that you have discovered a new Bug that causes it not to work, it is more likely that you have made an installation/configuration/customization mistake.
   Before asking for support, please check:
   - Did you enter the Userid of the Sender?
   - Does the sender have permission to use PMs?
   - Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?
   - Are you using the original Phrases?

Odd.
Does this also happen when this Hack is disabled?
And again: Which Version did you try?

[Rich]

Hello,

Honestly, I didn't think of disabling it and checking the email function! I downloaded and installed this before I typed my first post. I believe it is the most current version.(Downloaded yesterday!)

[Andreas]

Depends on when you downloaded it yesterday.
Safest would be to redownload and test again (also test with Hack disabled)

[MP3]

when i upload the .xml file from my computer its give me this error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 772

I am on the RC2 version

what does it mean ???

[Andreas]

It most likely means that you are trying to import this as a Plugin when it actually needs to be imported as a Product (common mistake).

[MP3]

you right ^_^

i'm sorry

[Andreas]

Added a FAQ

Also, as it seems to be working flawlessly, I don't class it Beta any longer.

[Pion]

Works great. Thanks

[Boofo]
