Working On Trying To Fix This For The Author...
As Was Said That The Same Error Was In 3.7...
The Best I Could Do So Far Was Make It Active For ALL Usergroups...
Here is The XML....

got it installed, just can't find a link to it. Is it a manual edit?

RTMdotORG · #25 06-11-2009, 06:45 PM

Ok, this looks like the only way to get this to work....

download and install the plugin provided....
the default usergroups.. are 2,5,6,7...
if you want different usergroups, you're going to have to edit the product....

go to edit templates>>>navbar>>
Find:

Code:

vbphrase[faq]</a></td>

Add After:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="misc.php?do=lucky">$vbphrase[lucky]</a></td>

Open the Product
Find:

Code:

<defaultvalue>2,5,6,7</defaultvalue>

Change the usergroup id to your liking...

DO NOT CHANGE ANY SETTINGS FOR THIS MOD IN THE VBULLETIN OPTIONS, OR IT WILL RESET USERGROUPS...

Still couldn't get this sucker to work. Crap

edytwinky · #29 06-12-2009, 08:04 PM

If I could get any help on this, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm running vb 3.8.2.

Is there some LUCKY button that is supposed to pop up?

I'd like for this to work with usergroups: 6, 28, 29 and 32

I'd like for it to not use the forum ids: 9, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18, 22, 25, 29, 30, 32, 34, 37, 39, 43, 46, 55
