Forum Home Enhancements - [DBTech] InfoPanels v2 (vB5) [AJAX]

DragonByte Technologies are proud to present InfoPanels v2: The most feature-packed Welcome Panel system for vBulletin, and the first Welcome Panel system for vBulletin 5!

Why InfoPanels?

Info Panels is another product from DragonByte Technologies, creators of vBActivity and vBShout. Info Panels allows you to display useful and interesting information in a much more user friendly way, allowing your members to access important areas of the forum, and important information, without having to go through different menu screens.

The Welcome Panel displays all the information your users may want to see instantly when they log on, without having to go searching for it. A handy Module format means you don't have to fiddle with complex code in order to drop it on ANY page, you simply use the Site Manager natively in vBulletin 5!

The Top X Stats portion of the software allows your users to keep track of whats going on in the forum almost in real time - perfect for boards with many forums which are hard to keep track of!

The read me file says:

1. Upload all files from the "upload" folder to your forums directory.

But where exactly do I upload files? What is the directory path from root?

Thanks!

[mdawg]

Open the Upload folder
You will then see all the files to upload.
Open your forums directory folder
Select all of the files in that Upload folder.
Upload all those files into that forums directory folder.
(If you are doing it correctly, you will be asked to Overwrite multiple folders.)

Thank you !

How to fix this ?!

Bug found - If a new thread is posted and includes a picture it won't show up in the "Newest Replies" panel. Delete the thread, re-post the same thread but don't attach any pictures and it shows up in Newest Replies.

"Visitor Messages" also randomly show up in the "Newest Replies" panel yet no one can figure out what they are or how to get rid of them - they just eventually fall off from more new replies.

This is one of the most sought after mods on my forum, yet like mdawg said it's not quite accurate and needs more work.

Not working on 5.4.1

[mdawg]

It does work on 5.4.1 (both Welcome Panel and Top Stats), just, as noted above post #168, etc., it's not entirely accurate, never did work perfectly.
