Errors in the install.xml causing 'duplicate entry' errors in sql:

	<setting varname="" displayorder="120">
				<datatype>free</datatype>
				<optioncode>yesno</optioncode>
				<defaultvalue>1</defaultvalue>
			</setting>
			<setting varname="toplist_email_new_validation" displayorder="120">
				<datatype>free</datatype>
				<optioncode>yesno</optioncode>
				<defaultvalue>0</defaultvalue>
			</setting>

That empty named one shouldn't be there.. right?

Thanks for reporting that kall. Yeah for some reason my vBulletin keeps exporting a blank setting, I'm not sure why. I will edit the zip file and remove it.

Thanks,
Derek

No problem Derek.. my Style Manager keeps throwing up incompletely-loaded templates, so your vB's not the only one being odd.

(1am, I had no idea how to fix it.. 12PM, things were a bit more awake. )

[derekivey]

Ok, I fixed it. Here there was a blank setting in my setting table attached to my product. Hopefully it won't add it to the XML file now that I deleted it from the database.

Thanks again .

Should be in the "Toplist" template. I will probably add a setting to disable them in the next version as well.

I have tried this and it still shows only removes the category header.

It is a good idea for the random section, but makes the site too wide for what i am trying to do.
