I've recently come back to this mod and am about to release a version 1.0. Support will be on a site I'm setting up. I just can't check this site all the time to keep track of the bugs.

I'm also going to move this project to the 3.8 modifications.

zethon,

Sorry, a few hours after I made my last post I was rushed to the Hospital and have been out of it for almost a year, going home finally tomorrow in fact. If you're ever back on and willing to check this out again please PM me i will get you whatever data you need- Basically members are still using it just without the listing of other portfolios... individual portfolios work fine. Now running 3.8.4 PL2.

To get rid of the divide by zero errors on the current vbtrade application:
open vbtrade.php

on line 112 find

PHP Code:

     $gainper = number_format((($gain/$mktval)*100),3); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

      if ($mktval != 0)
           $gainper = number_format((($gain/$mktval)*100),3);
      else
           $gainper = 0; 


Everything else seems to work, make a backup of the original file just in case.

Any word yet on whether this can be installed on vB4 ...?

Thanks!!!

Why not just try to install it and see what happens? Obviously don't make a template edit until you know it works, but you can browse to it manually if the install doesn't give errors.... http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/vbtrade,php - It seems in every 3.8 mod there's a dozen people asking if it will work on 4, sometimes for months... yet no one ever seems to want to try... I doubt vB would successfully install it if it didn't work and even so that is what test forums are for.... then report back an be a hero.

Like many others here ... of course I tried installing it! I wouldn't ask if for a vB4 update if it didn't need it.

So to answer the question: NO ... it does not work in vB4
But would certainly like it to!

Any word yet on this one ...? Is it being converted to vB4.03 ...?

OMG dude - I am sure the coder of this will be racing in here to let you know when/if it is updated for vBulletin 4.

Posting every couple days isn't going to be doing anything.
