Nevermind, I figured it out, for some reason "&" was getting parsed into "=dir=dir=",, weird ehh? It was only happening in my showthread template and only on 2 occurences- one of which made "Add thread to favorites" completely disappear...

what about the solution for the hook issue?

I'm a complete newbie with zero understanding of coding. I upload the php file to my server anduplaoded the xml file through the AdminCP product upload but I get no change at all. Nothing on any of the navbars even though the mod appears in vb options and appears to be switched on. The instructions for upload don't really explain what to do and I looked at the manual but it doesn't help much either. Can someone explain as if to a child how to get this working looks like a great addition to my board.
Thanks!

Installed on a 3.73 board and it does not work. The instruction manual in the zip tells you nothing as far as the installation goes. After install nothing shows up in nav bar. I then manually added the code in the nav bar templete. The Favorites link then appeared in the nav bar, but then the link was unclickable. I entered vbfavorites.php in address bar and was shown a page that I did not have permissions to view the page even though I'm the super admin.

This mod is well over a year old and I have noticed several others with similar issues as I have explained above, and still no resolution. In my opinion this mod is not MOTM material.

Psionic Vision, let me know if there's anything I can do to help get this mod on track.

Since I'm running vb 3.8.3, I'm kind of scared to install this, as much as I want to. I don't want to get DB errors :/ I did install it on a different test forum I have, but I've lagged with updating that forum, and it's nothing like my live forum, so the fact it works there doesn't really prove anything. Also, I had to add the link to the navbar manually cos it wasn't showing up, and now I've got TWO favorites links in my navbar - don't know how to fix it, I dont see duplicate codein the template. Would totally install this mod if it were working for more ppl.

BUG: In the template vbfavorites_editor the form tag isn't closed. This breaks favourites if there are any forms that follow it on the page that also have a 'do' parameter.

Suggestion: Add some code to template_groups to say

$only = array_merge($only, array('vbfavorites' => 'vBFavorites'));

to trim down the entries in the template selection display.
