What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

v1.0.0 Initial Release

v1.0.1 Fixed some issues.

• Fixed the issue wit the images not showing in some spots.
• Fixed a issue if you choose, Above Every Post Container = Above every post on the page, that the images would all display at the top of the page.

v1.0.2 Fixed some issues.

• Hopefully solved the issue with this not working for everyone.
• Fixed a issue with the cache template plugin checking if the wrong mod was active.

Part of the solution with this is that the default location for images is pre-filled and the image titles are without underscore..i.e. images/ozzmodz/friends/add friend.png

when it should be images/ozzmodz/friends/add_friend.png
As is with images/ozzmodz/friends/is friend.png

There are other issues, like is friend is not showing up but not got round to that yet.
I will help all I can..

Another Ozzmodtastic idea though..

You are correct, I have change the XML to fix that. It will only work on new installs. So if you want, delete the mod, and re-install the new one.

Or simply change the image settings to the following:
add_friend.png
is_friend.png

That's what I get for changing the images in the middle of development.

That's what you get when you are going out full on to bolster vB 4 in these trying times..

May your god go with you..

BTW, I did change the pic names manually, just thinking about the new guy and avoiding the confusion..
Not to worry, the whole community knows of your Oscar Goldman ties...

Installing again... So many OzMods everywhere on my site!!

Thanks Ozzy!!!

Edit... I am trying to use the Postbit Controls Area.. Actually I tried a few different locations.. Used default theme and a few custom styles. They aren't showing up for me. Its enabled and set to the correct usersgroups..

Another great mod Thanks

Just one issue on my site in the selection of Postbit Controls Area (Legacy & Horizontal

The Add Friend works but the Is Friend Will not show Text or image any ideas?

[nxtgen]

You have the images set correctly under options?

The mod isn't showing up for me at all, doesn't matter where I place it.

I wonder if something else is conflicting with it.

Same here...
Is_friend shows nowhere...

I tried all of the settings and Postbit Controls Area (Legacy & Horizontal) is the only place that displays the image add_friend.png.. Other settings only display the link with the user name.. The link works but still no is_friend.png after the link is carried through..

@Ozz, hope that helps..

This is a good idea going to install definitely just can't right now have to play taxi lol but when I get back

[ozzy47]

Can someone who is having these issues send me a admin account, that has a friend, and not a friend in a post, with the link to the post, so I can figure out what is going on.
