After doing some more digging, I have pasted the total error that I get.

In light of the fix and problem Savior was experiencing, I am beginning to wonder if the mod isnt affecting the vb code that runs in "vbulletin_menu.js"?

Hopefully this helps

I'm having a small problem. This seems to be working fine, but when I try to adjust the article preview, nothing changes. Even right now, it's set to -1 and nothing shows up as a preview. It shows the Title, the thumbnail and that's it. I'd like to have a bit of a preview for the article, especially since I have this incorporated on my portal.

*EDIT*

Seems like the only way I can display any sort of "preview" is by enabling BB Code for the program and then it displays the entire thread, not just part of it

How could I change the position for where the 'Articles' link is on my navigation bar, I have looked but I can't find the code for it in the navigation part.

^ the above doesn't matter now, I have done what I needed to do.

This is somewhat general in nature, but because I need it for the article side maybe some knows. I can display attachements fine full if they are a picture, but .pdf files don't. Is something in vBulletin? or the Article Script?

Thanks

Thanks!

No. But you could use bbcode to do text wrapping.

I think it may be one of your settings. I have tested attached pdf to article and comment and both were fine:

Downlaoded and installed tested fine. Moved servers and now when I try to access a forum with this set to it it just hangs and can not display the web page.

Any ideas?

Are php versions of the servers the same? Are the vbulletin versions the same?

Hostboard · #**691** 07-21-2009, 03:57 PM

Server 100% different (moved off Linux to Windows IIS). Updated PHP and MySQL (running as MySQLi). Site is working perfectly since the move. Just can't get a forum to load with this enabled.

PHP - 5.2.9-2
MySQL - 5.1.33
vBulletin has not changed.
