Hi,

I just installed this but the problem is that different karakters are not shown correctly.. How can we help this.. ? See the Turkish karakters are shown with a ?. Somehow we can prevent this.

Example:

?talya'n?n önde gelen gazetelerinden Corriere dello Sport, Milli oyuncu Arda Turan'?n ?talyan ekibi Juventus'un da transfer listesine girdi?ini iddia etti.

h?rs?zlardan biri gürültü yapt??? gerekçesiyle arkada??na tokat att?,

I've been using this excellent mod, but when I upgraded to vBulletin 3.7.2 yesterday it went away, not even appearing in the products list. I downloaded the mod again, made the template edits, and tried to import the xml file.

When I try to import it I get a SQL error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.2:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE rssfeed ADD threadid INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'threadid'
Error Number : 1060
Request Date : Wednesday, June 25th 2008 @ 09:28:48 PM
Error Date : Wednesday, June 25th 2008 @ 09:28:49 PM
Script : http://www.website.com/admincp/plugi...=productimport
Referrer : http://www.website.com/admincp/plugin.php?do=productadd

I am at a loss as to how to get it going again and any help would be appreciated.

just started testing v3.7.2 on my dev server, first mod installed from the base install... works flawlessly!

Many Thanks!

I don't think that this problem have arisen because of this module.

Open .xml file and find:

<installcode><![CDATA[$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "rssfeed ADD threadid INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL");]]></installcode>

replace to

<installcode />

I will install this when you get an option to disable the "More" button and include EVERYTHING in the post.

Thanks so much! I had to to the same thing with "tu_maxtime" but that was easy to figure out based on your reply.

I appreciate the mod and I appreciate the helpful response.
