I do not get it to work gives me database error in version 3.7.5 on my forum

Any idea?

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'hidetip' in 'field list'

Thanks for this great mod!
I have this working fine on 3.8 except or the fact that I can't seem to exclude it on the index. Every other page I added to that list, it stopped displaying there, but index displays it every time, it's pretty strange.
I couldn't figure out how to get it confined to a cmps module either, as Viper had requested earlier.
Any thoughts on either issue would be appreciated.

Well, I finally got it to display in an existing CMPS module by just adding $GLOBALS[tip] to the bottom of my who's online box (adding it to the adv_portal_onlineusers template and removing it from the navbar). It's not optimal, but I like it better than the navbar location, and it resolves my strange index problem. If I ever get it to work in its own box, I will update again.

Eureka! I learned something today with my dog-with-a-bone mentality, LOL. To display this in a CMPS module, you need to go to the vbaCMPS Main Options, and in the Portal Output Global Variables box, enter

$global_tip

Then create a module - call it whatever you want - create a new template, again name it whatever you want, and for the content just use

$GLOBALS[tip]<br />

(You can use the br in your template or not, I thought it looked better with. And I have swapped out the included image to my own FYI, FYI...)
*Be sure NOT to use the module wrapper template.
That's it! (Besides removing the reference in the navbar.)

How come this doesn't work with 3 .8.3? I followed all the necessary steps and never get a tip box.

I'm trying to get this working on 3.8.5 but I'm getting the following error when I change and try to save the settings in the usergroups...

Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks.
