It's required that you have debug mode ON when editting/adding some features

DESCRIPTION:

A center product area which allow you to manage all codes/plugins/templates/phrases/settings /crons for any product.
It also add some additional fields to the product, just to save more information with a product
Release Date
Product Author
Extra Information
Install date

The extra information is only available if you install APM, and use APM to export/import other product.
It does not have any conflict with original product. You still can use APM to import standard product, or use standard product tool to import APM's product files.

INSTALL:
1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server
2. Import XML product (product-adv_product_management_XXX.xml) using vBulletin standard product import tool.
3. Refresh menu panel to display Advanced Product Management link in Plugin System section

{optional} - Re-import product-adv_product_management.xml using APM import product tool, with Allow Overwrite = Yes
This step is inserting more information into the product.
* CAUTION: DONOT use APM to import the product itself (product-adv_product_management.xml) BEFORE step 2.

UPGRADE:
1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server (replace the old files
2. Import XML product with "Allow Overwrite" option checked
3. Enjoy!

Wow, this looks like a FANTASTIC mod. How is this stuff not built right into the product!?

Tagged for install post-4.02 upgrade!

[thincom2000]

Several bugs:

This doesn't purge the type cache when products are disabled/enabled. In turn, causes database errors when turning on/off products with their own content types (e.g. vBulletin Blog or vBulletin CMS). See the current plugin.php for the appropriate code to handle this. As seen in that file, blocks also need to be rebuilt.

It's also possible you need to update the import/export to handle grids, blocks, etc.

I am using 4.0.5 and AME does not display Release Date nor the Install Date.

Any ideas why?

Both fields are blank.

[thincom2000]

It's possible AME's author didn't use APM or didn't bother filling in these fields before exporting the product.

[Fraxter]

If i add a template to a product i get always

Invalid Product Specified

The templatet were created, but it's not integrated in the plugin.

vB 4.0.5

Make i something wrong?

[Boofo]

You need to set which product it is for. vBulletin is the default.

[Michlerish]

Installed and seems to be working in 4.0.6
