Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for the hard work!

At the moment the cost of upgrading is not worth it to me, I would need a lot of donations to upgrade one of my boards. I have had some offers to use other peoples vB4 install for development, I may take them up on the offer, however that will be when I can dedicate some time for certain on the project.

I have to extend the fix release, the fix may be up tomorrow if not later today, my home server system drive failed.

Well i have upgraded one board myself but indeed the cost are high atm for upgrading. Well like i said if you need a clean vb4 to make the addons just shout at me. People love your addons and many are depended on it.

Gryphon the addon is giving me an error Internal server error 500, the other addon roster is working fine for me.

Maybe you could just help me with this then. I installed the mod with vb4. I got this error when going to the calender.

For the past 10 hours it has just been Awaiting Armory data import... This is for a good 10 people on 3 events. Whats the wait time on this or is there a problem?

Vbulletin 3.8

Edit: Just tried to run the task manager manually and got this error:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/forums/includes/cron/cron.gwowevents.charinfo.php on line 54

Edit: Seems there was an improper character and I had to manully go into phpmyadmin and delete the bad tables and fix the usernames. The problem now is the whole special character code. I have a member by the name of:

Os?rus

Is there a way you can get the script to ignore members like this? If not ignore all of them maybe have it so I can just insort their name and tell it to be ignored in the cron script?

I've tried the fixes around here and non seem to work. Getting same error as previously said.

**Edit**

Seems to only affect one event now, the rest appear fine thus far. I will look into how my user created the event and see if maybe something was done differently. I'll post again if I continue to see this happen on more events.

We still need a fix on this :|

Bump for help this time?

EDIT: I went though the script and managed to get it so the calendar will never close. If your fine with that, here is the fix:


Go to admincp > Plugin Manager > gWE: Add signups to Event Description
Find:

PHP Code:

// Allow Post signup 
    if(TIMENOW <= $eventinfo['dateline_from_user']) 
    { 
        $eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = true; 
    } 
    else 
    { 
        $eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = false; 
    } 


Replace:
$eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = false;

With:
$eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = true;
