Great Hack, huge potential!

I installed on my dev forum and get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting '}' in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/admincp/vbayadmin.php on line 119

Another thought would be tying it in to vbux so users have to spend a couple bux to start a auction.

Your on to something great, good luck!

Same if I want to delete an auction etc

vbay.php is not in your admincp dir if installed correctly. try /forum/Vbay.php

After install and click on Category controls I get this error? What should I do???

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting '}' in /home/xxxxx/public_html/forum/admincp/vbayadmin.php on line 119

all admin pages show these errors... though the auction page looks GREAT...help

Sorry, seems there are some major problems with the admincp... ill get these fixed once I get home tonight (had jazz band all day) :sleep:

Any chance this could work with 3.5? were not scheduled to update for at least 6 more months and our forum has a buy sell /trade section, this would be a phenomenal feature to add

Should work, give it a shot at it on a test board and post your results here.

Yes, it works on 3.5.x, but there are blank pages in the admin control panel, so you can?t configure any thing.

Are the admin errors fixed? What should I do?
