We were going to hire him to assist with the upgrade to 3.8.14, help ensure the Downloads II mod continued to work.

The VB 3.x in the wild that is re-coded to work with PH 7.4.x is really no fuss, no muss. As for the modification, you just need a PHP developer. They do not need to know anything about VB as the code works, just a few PHP calls will need to be adjusted. Plus if you can access your PHP log files, the code will be pin pointed down to the line.

Right :up:

and for the products, this mod is very useful : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=265982 (version 3)

Searching for errors with Google also helps

Thanks, that is heartening to hear.

Yes, we were able to secure a capable PHP dev/vB expert for some work on our system. Like a lot of vB3 holdouts, I am quite willing to pay well for the work. I wish there was a way to share the end results with other vB users.

For example, we were able to get Downloads II working with 3.8.11, it would be sweet if the work could be captured as an "update" for Downloads II. Maybe that requires additional work, to make the changes into an upgrade... but I would be more than happy to help with that too. Then the Downloads II thread could include a "take it or leave it" upgrade add-on.

Does that makes any sense?
