ok, this is very strange because it is working on my board. There seems to be an issue with retrieving data from the database.

Go to: Admin Control Panel -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query
Insert this query in the "Manual Query" textbox and click on continue

SELECT chpNo, chpName_en FROM vbquran GROUP BY chpNo

Let me know if you get any result back.

Please keep responses in English-only. Thank you.

Fixing the Bug:

@djlou

JazakAllah Khair brother.

You may want to change quran_install.php to avoid users facing problem installing it.


Installed and working great on

http://www.hallagulla.com/urdu/quran.php

Just wondering if you can make some changes to add Images instead of text ? Just to give you an idea some good designers are designing whole quran in Urdu and you can see their work on following link.

http://www.hallagulla.com/urdu/desig...ran-urdu-1671/

A sample image is below. we are planning to finish complete Quran design in Urdu inshaAllah before Eid.







Note:All images are of same dimension.

If that is possible I can provide all images for hotlinking or in zip file as well.

We are also working on designing whole Quran design in English as well.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards.

NOM, Install and rated.

Could you please also provide VBSEO settings ?

Thanks

^May Allah Ta'ala reward you as well brother; I've uploaded the fixed version. As far concerning the images; the images are really big and there might be performance issue but if you really want it then I can spend sometime to make it available only for your board. For others, I'm simply going to stick to the text; the massive language pack will be uploaded very soon.
