Yeah the email error is a known bug it will be fixed in BETA 2. Would you prefer it to still mail or pm?

[divided_by_fear]

bro to be honest i cant make that choice... you made the mod so i guess you can make the final call... not trying to sound harsh or nothing, but im just thankful to have such a mod... um if the mail could be fixed then that would be great maybe have it mail there email the way it would if you chose to have it email them to activate there accounts... or even a pm would be good.. but the final call is up to you i feel which ever is easier for you since your doing this for free for us... people just need to be thankful your will to fix these such things...

edit: or what do you think about doing away with the whole mail thing and having it show your link and button this way it dont have to mail it dont have to pm it would just show it right there on that page below it ... kinda like phpnuke does... maybe have a block under it when they submit telling them to link us then we will link you back... just giving ideas on such a great mod

Please note that the next release will be BETA 2, not the GOLD release of the hack.

[mfizzel]

how is the beta going so far? would you recommend to only install it for testing purposes?

Yes, it's important that you only install for testing purposes. The more people testing the quicker a GOLD version is released.

I am getting multiple errors in my cPanel log:

Okay thanks for reporting. From the looks of the errors, I probably left a $DB_site somewhere in that file...

Hi.
First of all, thank you very much for your hard work and for giving us this hack

I installed and so far all but one thing is working great:
for some reason in the admin page I cannot see more than the first page when using the 'manage affiliates' option. Consequently I could not aprove more entries than those shown in the first page. When clicking on the 'next' link it showed me the same entries.

I am sure there is something I did wrong?

For the moment I just edited the affiliatesadmin.php file and increased the value of $perpage but that is certainly not the correct solution.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem, but your work-around is working good.

Any info on an official fix?

Thank you for reporting this.

Just an update: All bugs will be fixed and I will test out everything privately for about 2-3 days. Once I am satisfied with the product I will release BETA 1.0.8. Then if there are no bug reports it will be changed as BETA 2.

I have a few coding stuff I have to do for a client that I must finish before though...

can't wait

With the next release I'll install it on my forum, it's quite active so I should be able to help with bug reporting.

First of all I'd just like to say this is a great mod and works fine apart from one thing; it says I don't have permission to view the page. It's the common message that reads:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Is there a way for me to change the permissions for the affiliates section? Or is this message showing due to a different error? Anyone know? Before anyone says, yes I am the administrator.

[RaidenDAWG2]

Usergroup manager -> edit the permissions for every group

[DS MrSinister]

after upgrading from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1 i dont see the usergroup permissions.

any ideas how to fix this?

This hack hasn't been tested on 3.5.1. The next release will work on 3.5.1.

[DS MrSinister]

k thx. i will wait for the fix. no rush

Ah I see, thats why I cannot view the permissions because I have 3.5.1 too. Thanks anyway RaidenDAWG2. Ah well, guess I'll have to wait :ermm:

As soon as possible. I will be working on this today, and more this week.

[SuperFly]

How would i remove the affilate block from the admin cp?

Remove the xml file in includes/xml

[MThornback]

I'm missing 1-2 phrases...when I forget to add a title to an entry or its too short, I get a blank popup window....any idea what/where the missing phrase is, so I can add it manually?

[loonytune15]

Hope you update this soon. I've installed but without be able to access permissions its pretty useless currently.

[davidw]

Have you gone into your usergroup settings and given yourself permissions?

No, they mean that it's not showing at all in the usergroup manager. There is something wrong with the xml file. I fixed that, but now for some reason the settings in the admincp aren't editing. I have to fix that.

Okay I got the settings bug fixed. Now I am trying to get the mail function to work.

[davidw]

Good work Danny - I'm waiting it out for a little bit due to other site issues

[loonytune15]

any chance of updating the zip with the fix for the settings please?

The fix was a settings was an error on my part when editing one of the files..it shouldn't be a bug with earlier versions..

[loonytune15]

Well i'm in my usergroups right now, and i cant see anywhere to allow users to see the affiliates page. Thats includes admin.

I'm vb3.5.1 if that makes any difference.

[Electronic Punk]

I also just installed it and can't see the setting. Like what I can see so far though and am looking forward to playing

Lena Starling, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Log Out Home

I don't see any place where I can edit permissions... A little advice, please?

Gracias!
Lena

[ReadOrDie]

The current version of the hack is not compatible with 3.5.1. I'm guessing your using that version..

[Sinistra]

Nope She is using 3.5.0 I have fixed the issue for her XD permission issue >> ^_^
