no replies?????

HelpDesk is really buggy, and I don't know if the author is going to upgrade it for 3.5.4. I suggest you use a hack on vbulletin.org called vBSupport. It works much better with fewer errors.

Thanks,
Paul

This hack does not work with vBulletin 3.5. It was made for the 3.0 version. If you read back through the hack you will see that there are a bunch of us waiting for the 3.5 version to be released.

So this is the solution that Help Desk doesn't works with vbulletin 3.5.x ???Is it?

paulfletcher · #**667** 05-12-2006, 07:37 PM

Yes, HelpDesk doesn't work with vBulletin 3.5.x. We are all waiting for the update. And until the update is finished several of us are using vBSupport as it works very well.

Thanks,
Paul

paulfletcher · #**668** 05-12-2006, 07:38 PM

Also, VBSupport is free, just run a quick search for it on vBulletin.org.

So I'm assuming no one received this message?:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/32/d127145607/htdocs/nd/forum/admincp/helpdesk_install.php on line 66

I just tried installed the most recent one. Any ideas??

Okay, just found out it doesn't work on 3.5, lol. Roger that.
