Mod Version: v1.2
Release: 26. Jan 2006
Last Updated: 22. Dec 2006

Bug fixes for this release

Please note that these bug fixes are only relevant to update from the last release.

• Hooray, there are no bugs to fix at this moment!

Support

If you have any problems, questions or trouble installing my mod that are not covered in this file, please post them at the official support thread located at here in the appropriate forum. I will be more than happy to help in any way we can if the request for help is made there. Anyone trying to contact me via e-mail, private message, or any other means will be ignored.

Requirements

The exact requirements will depend on many factors, your estimated board traffic being one.

- vBulletin v3.5.x (or higher)
- PHP 4.0.3 (or higher)
- MySQL 3.22 (or higher)

Server Requirements
You must have a web server that has PHP 4.1.0 (or better) and mySQL 3.23 (or better) installed. If you are unsure whether your server has these programs installed, please check with your web host now. If you are capable, you can always download PHP and download mySQL and install it yourself. If your web host does not support PHP or mySQL, consider hosting your entire web site or forums with Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd services. vBulletin works best on an Apache server, and is Apache 1 and Apache 2 savvy.

General Requirements
You do not need a new SQL database as vBulletin supports table prefixes to prevent tables being overwritten. You will also need the SQL username and SQL password for a SQL user that has permission to "CREATE", "DROP" and "ALTER" tables. You will need about 2MB of free web space and roughly 3MB of SQL database space to allow installation and a moderate sized community. If you are unsure on any of these points, please ask your web host before proceeding.

All donations great or small are appreciated to the greatest extent, whether it's for the modification itself or just a little incentive for myself. If you would like to donate then you can do so via PayPal.

v1.2 is now released. Sorry all for the delay once again. I've been really busy with my sites as I'd to move them to a new server which took me a while.

If there's anything wrong within the hack or have a suggestion on your mind, feel free to post them below!

Also, please remember to click on the install button/link if you have this mod installed already as I have noticed people aren't doing so.

Before I install, how exactly does this work... open to archive thead... and it puts it where? In a forum I have precreated and then designated the 'archived threads' to go to?

I just want to be clear on this before I install, thank you.

Yes, that's correct. Just upload the product, navigate to the Admin CP and enter the forum ID that you wanna archive the threads in on the vB Options page.

You're quite welcome, Nathan.

Hey Josh, there is no way for you to make multiple archive forums? I paid a coder for this work but he run away :S I'll be glad to pay you those 100USD (which i paid 50% another coder here on vb.org).

[Snake]

Well sure I could do that but why would you need multiple forums to archive anyway? I think that would be just pointless, don't you think?
