So did you release the 3.6 version? I looked for it, but I haven't been able to find it..

[DementedMindz]

this works on 3.6

[loonytune15]

post 1224 said he was releasing a vb 3.6 version. One would assume it was better

[DementedMindz]

most of the time when coders release a 3.6 version its the same just ported over. but anyway it does work on 3.6

[derekivey]

I will be releasing the 3.6 version soon. Just got caught up with school work. The only thing different in the 3.6 version is that I'm adding the version checker URL thing to it, and this thread url to it also in the product manager. I am having it add a admin message when the user installs it for the first time that tells them to edit the settings and not to forget to set the in url, since most people forget to do that.

No, that reminds me though, I'm going to update it again to include the fix you tried that fixed the URL thing.

Did you edit image.png to change the path to your forums?

PHP Code:

chdir('/full/path/to/your/forums'); 


[derekivey]

Zip file updated to include the change that fixes the URL problem some of you were having. Also, I changed images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png so that it no longer requires you to edit it to have the full URL of your forums, it now uses relative paths to fetch the global.php file.
