Thank you for that tip, I just installed on VB 3.8.6 and vbay is at least functional.
However I have run into another issue, when trying to sort auctions by time,price,or anything I get a database error

SELECT * FROM vbay_items` where completed='0' AND catid = '1' ORDER BY `completetime` DESC LIMIT 0, 10;

Is this being caused by another rogue ' mark?

[drummaster]

Yep I just Installed this and getting this error

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: vbay_navbar_edit in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4183

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(1307) : eval()'d code on line 130

drummaster, did you apply the fix two posts above yours?

[hpidriver]

Uninstalled as the product is not stable, can't sort items, categories don't work properly. Good idea just a few less than desirable bugs

[firentire]

There is any way to make this work on 4.1.3 ? Thanks

[MrDJ]

[Abhik]
