I had installed this mod early on in my upgrade to vb 4.0.8 and it broke the content.php page, and I'd been stumped ever since. I stripped my vp installation down to bare bones, and finally figured out the error is being caused by this mod. I've added everything back on, and I still cant get things to function.

i get not being supported, but if i uninstall this modification I still get the db error

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.8:

Invalid SQL:

Hello

Nice I've slowly the feeling that here is nothing more and we get no more help from the coder.
It is a pity that there is nothing more stirring.

Hallo

Schön langsam habe ich das Gefühl das hier nichts mehr geht und wir auch keine weitere Hilfe vom Coder bekommen.
Es ist nur Schade das da sich nichts mehr rührt.

[Hippy]

confirmed

doesn't work with (vBulletin 4.1.0 Patch Level 2)

[RS_Jelle]

I just installed it on my vB 4.1.0 testsite and it works fine

Uploaded - Installed product XML - Set usergroup permissions (you need to set this per usergroup that can auto-post threads!!) - Enable it in the settings - Set a default forum
Then I created a file and the thread was auto-created as expected.

Hey RS_jelle , thanks for your reply
is that exactly what it is called, what part is in under? downloads II ? or else wares I was unable locate that ..
I figure you meant to make sure the usergroup had permission to make posts in the forum you choose.. will test it out again..

[Hippy]

I can't for the life of me find usergroup that can auto-post threads to enabled..
