/hermes/bosweb/web176/b1762/ipg.dividedallegiancecom/vbulletin/dbtech/vbslider/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!

This is the error, I get I have 4.2, I tried the forum only, I tried the suite since I have that, but either work. ANy ideas?

[DragonByte Tech]

The file does in fact exist in the download, as I just checked, so please try to upload all of the files again. Perhaps there was an issue when you originally uploaded the files. Since the error is a missing file, it should be easy enough to look for it in the location listed via FTP or your host's file manager.

[Luis]

this is vbslider pro or other slider?

[DragonByte Tech]

That is a different (unknown) slider.

Any idea when the image sizing problem will be fixed?

Also, when I click on the "read more" link I get No input file specified.

[DragonByte Tech]

I am currently working on the next version. Unfortunately, I just got a new job and am also in the middle of relocating to a different state for the new job, getting a house ready to sell, etc... so I don't have as much time as I used to. I am still trying to get it done when I have time.

As far as the "Read More" link issue, are there particular instances when this occurs, or on every single slide, irregardless is its for the forum, CMS, blog, or custom? I've never seen that message before, so just trying to get a better idea of what could cause it.

Brad

[Reycer]

It's giving me the message on every link. The link looks correct, but when you click on it, you get that message. Getting it when I click on the article link in the slider also. It's on the CMS.

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you PM me a link to your site so I can look into it more? Also, are you running vBSEO? I know there were some issues with CMS articles and vBSEO because vB's URL rewrite for the articles didn't work. Its been fixed as of v4.2, but this mod hasn't been updated for that yet. If its a vBSEO issue, then I can probably direct you to file edits which will make it work.

Are you using vBSEO? Send me a PM with a link to your site and I'll see what I can figure out.
