swfuploader

There is a bug in the swfuploader extra, which breaks the extra if your forums directory is called something other than "forum". To fix this bug, edit the links_swfuploader_header_one template, find the line that reads:

	flash_url : "/forum/clientscript/swfupload/swfupload.swf",

and change to

	flash_url : "{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/clientscript/swfupload/swfupload.swf",

Andrew,

When I try to import the Search Module I get an error that states that I don't have permissions for /admincp/vba_cmps_admin.php

I can continue and the Search Module is on my page but when I use the search form it states that a security token is missing.

Thank you AndrewD. Does this version include the option to upload and store files by their real name?

There is an 'extra' (upload-filenames) which does the best it can - not all filemames can be preserved 100%.

I can't reproduce this, but I imagine you have an old version of the ldm_search.php file in your forums/modules directory. Check, and if necessary delete this file, then reinstall. Let me know if you still have problems.

Andrew,

Thanks for the help. I woke up this AM and had an epiphany and it turned out that what had happened was that my ldm_ templates were custom for all my child styles. I had uploaded the latest version of your Search Module and it overwrote ldm_search.php but I had only selected my parent style to install the updated templates (assuming the children styles would inherit the new templates).

As soon as I reverted the templates of the children styles the search box worked.

Again, thank you for an excellent product.
