Yes, I double-checked the permissions of 'generated'

I can only reproduce the error if the generated is set to 766.

The folder must really be 777. I hope this is the origin of your error.

Sometimes FTP clients go in cached mode zo permissions are not really changed. A reconnect of your FTP client can confirm that.

And just a small suggestion, would be nice to have the Pie Chart option greyed out when it can't be used.

Thanks for the mod!

I'll look into the thread double appearance. (link?)

The graphic options are only valid on the last in the list op possible stats but I could make it appear when the last one is clicked. Should be a cool feature.

Hm. Permissions are definitely set correctly, and I tried it 766 as well on the offchance, still the same error.

TygerTyger,
Can you set the permissions on the file itself on 777 to test the effect of that?

The file doesn't exist. It wouldn't do if the error is that it can't write to the folder.

The generated subfolder is supposed to be within libchart, is it not? Just wondering if I put it in the wrong place...

generated must be in the root of your forums libchart also in the root.
both should be on the same level.

I did 3 testinstalls and all worked out fine.

[TygerTyger]

Ok now it works. Lol.

Maybe I'm just being dense but in the instructions it says:

2. Upload the libchart folder and all contents to the forum root
3. Create a new subfolder with name: generated

To me that sounds like you have to create a subfolder in libchart

Thanks very much for your help anyway

[stonyarc]

The install text and all the posts are already changed. Thanks for finding this confusing matter in the text.

I also added a nice graphic we rendered on our forum to show the function. Don't forget to click install and rate this modification !!!!!!!!! :smoke:

[TygerTyger]

Terribly sorry to keep doing this to you, but the numbers for posts/days on the New Members section appear to be missing, replaced with a /:

http://www.forumwhatever.co.uk/vbsta...playrecords=30

Another couple of suggestions (sorry!) but for the Detailed Poster Statistics including Percentages section, it would be nice if the date format matched the format you specify in your main vB Options, and perhaps knock a few decimal places off the percentages? I say this because the large length of the date format and percentage decimals makes the page wider than the screen, and I could happily live with slightly shorter versions of both. At least as an option.

Beautiful update, everything work perfectly, I only miss a phrase in my vbulletin options, the field is empty. (see attachment)
Also I came that my forum was to wide, because there are too many stats present, see my question above.
