Hi,
I'm getting this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `kirky_splash` VARCHAR( 1500 ) NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Table 'blog.forum' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

When installing the product, you get a database error... I dug into your product xml and found a few things you want to change.

The install and uninstall code only worked after making these changes.
INSTALLCODE
Look for the following...

<installcode><![CDATA[$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `kirky_splash` VARCHAR( 1500 ) NOT NULL");]]></installcode>

...and change it to

<installcode><![CDATA[$db->query("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum` ADD `kirky_splash` VARCHAR( 1500 ) NOT NULL");]]></installcode>

UNINSTALLCODE
Look for the following...

<uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `forum` DROP `kirky_splash`");]]></uninstallcode>

...and change it to

<uninstallcode><![CDATA[$db->query("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum` DROP `kirky_splash`");]]></uninstallcode>

The changes here, are for those of us who are using 3rd party styles and have more than one images directory. The way you have it, the user would have to alter the code to point to the correct misc directory.

MISC IMAGES PATH
Look for the following...

defineheader: '<div style="padding: 5px; color: white; font: bold 16px Verdana; background: black url(images/misc/blockdefault.gif) center center repeat-x;border-bottom:1px solid #373737;"><a style="position:absolute; top: 2px; right: 5px" href="javascript:splashpage.closeit()" title="Skip to Content"><img src="images/misc/skip.gif" border="0" width="114px" height="23px" /></a>$vboptions[splashtitle]</div>',

...and change it to

defineheader: '<div style="padding: 5px; color: white; font: bold 16px Verdana; background: black url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/blockdefault.gif) center center repeat-x;border-bottom:1px solid #373737;"><a style="position:absolute; top: 2px; right: 5px" href="javascript:splashpage.closeit()" title="Skip to Content"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/skip.gif" border="0" width="114px" height="23px" /></a>$vboptions[splashtitle]</div>',

A simple "you forgot table prefixes" would have sufficed.

[jgommel]

A simple "Thanks" would have been nice too
