Jaxel,

Any news? I have a new site I want to launch but want to use this version as I'm starting with VB 3.8 on it and it's a clean install. Please let me know. Thanks, rg.

Rolando,

FYI, Jaxel is working on things within his mod.

I missed this too. There is a Videos section on the left side in admincp.

[Lionsloser07]

Hm. It is giving me a database error when I try to add a category. Is this mod compatible with vB 3.8.0?

[ArnyVee]

People are using it with 3.8.0 already with no reported issues (check up a few posts for an example of one).

Personally, I'm running 3.7.4 at the moment with no issues to report.

Whichever error you are getting, look through this thread (use the "search this mod" option at the top) and try and see what the fix is. If you still can't find the answer, then you should post your database error code here and someone should be able to help you with it.

Good luck!

Here is my database error that i am receiving when I am trying to add a category:

Sounds like not all your tables where created upon installation.

Lionsloser07,

You can go to AdminCP --> Videos --> Add a Category

Thank you very much for letting me know. I'm working on a cool Wordpress/Vbulletin site, can't believe I'm doing it, but somehow I've played with it enough that it feels rather seamless when you go back and forth. So I need the video section as part of it cause VB does it better for video pages and stuff, the cool part, you won't be able to tell by looking at it if your on the WP or VB side...unless you know both programs and plugins/mods...thanks, hope to showcase a cool site soon, rg sends!
