I'm trying to nail down which function calls translate to what, but I think I might've run into an issue with the display.

Ranger187, if you have it working, could you post up what you did to get it to work?

I posted a suggestion but it seems the moderator (who did a poor job) decided to remove entire posts which had no slander or name calling, instead of just cleaning up what they "thought was inappropriate".

But like I stated before, if you edit the XML file and replace the functions items with the newly named ones, then try and import, that might work. And I suggest prior to any *testing* you do backups.

I do know VBDev plans on helping Stang update this addon shortly though, so I'd just sit tight.

I hope you all find this useful. I couldn't wait any longer for an update, so I edited the module and came up with this version. It works for me with 2.4.2, so I'm sharing it with you.

Bear in mind that I had to perform many other template and code edits to repair path issues because of the persistent "Loading..." screen. Fixed that loading error with this post. I also used this post to fix some other script/image errors. My environment has vBAdvanced in the web root, and my forums in a subdirectory.

If this works for you, let stangger5 know so he can see what I did, and maybe improve on it.

This error is almost always a path error in the scripts, plug-ins and templates. There are lots of areas using relative paths ("images/misc/etc.gif") that I had to change to use absolute paths ("/images/misc/etc.gif") to get things to work with vbadvanced, since I don't have it installed to my forum's root folder. If I can find all the places I edited, I may post a comprehensive list of all edit points for those of you still stuck. I'll run a text compare tool when I get the chance and post up my changes. It'll take a while due to all the changes, and each site's changes may be different depending on your configuration.

So it's not just the 2 files? Do i have to edit every file?? Lol, yea my vba is in another directory too, which is why i'm having these problems...

[vgevolution]

Yeah, I edited several locations. If I weren't in the middle of a HUGE work crisis, I'd have cataloged my edits by now. I'll try to provide more details once the smoke clears and I'm not spending 16 hours a day at my job.
