Hi Thincom,

I got something new for you

With 3.8 beta 3, the bb code in social groups threads and in the blog doesnt work anymore.

Deactivating helps, but then in profile fields the bb code wont work anymore and in profiles I get following error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4074

Hopefully you have some time left to update your mod

[thincom2000]

I haven't tested this completely with 3.8 yet. When I do I'll let you know. Also, I cannot fix the blog without access to someone's blog install. It is not worth it for me to purchase the blog to fix a bug in a free addon.

Like I said, it's not a problem to provide you access to our blog install and 3.8 vb ... I will send you login details in pm later

[thincom2000]

I think I solved the issues in social groups threads and picture comment threads in vb 3.8 series. If you ran into any other issues with 3.8, let me know. Otherwise I will be releasing an update shortly.

The blog should still work. Keep in mind that the "blog fix" that is posted here edits the blog product/plugin, so if you performed an update, you need to reapply the fix.

Hey thincom,

sorry got to work outsite my country at the moment, I'll be back in some weeks I think, then I'll get back to you... I didn't run into other issues.. Only blog bb-code isn't working, like in social group threads. Everywhere else no problems with 3.8.1

Hey, I searched through a few posts here but didn't see this question.
The seems to prevent the reputation received on the usercp from parsing :S
could you please help me, thanks

[thincom2000]

I was unaware that reputation comments were supposed to even parse in the first place...

After installing, for some reason I dont see the options in the Vbulletin options, I've attempted to uninstall and reinstall, but that hasnt helped. I do see the options in the usergroup permissions, and the plugins all seem to have installed from doing an audit of the product-xml.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Same problem here. AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> CES Profile Fields doesn't exist. Although everything else seems to work fine. This is on 3.8.3.

[thincom2000]

The setting group "CES Profile Fields" has a Display Order of 0. I believe you will only be able to see these settings if debug mode is active, or if you have modified your options to sort another way (e.g. alphabetically).

To get "CES Profile Fields" to appear without doing either, run the following MySQL query:

UPDATE settinggroup
SET displayorder = 1000
WHERE product = 'ces_html_profile'
