Interesting. Did you do an upgrade or fresh install (wasn't sure if you had the older version installed)? If its an upgrade, make sure you choose "Allow Overwrite" in the Import Product area. Did you receive any errors installing this?

Anyone else experiencing this?

I am having this problem. I have not looked at why it is doing it yet.

I upgraded from the last version. I have also tried un-install and re-install of both versions.

Is the installer suppose to make some custom templates?

Thanks, It is an awesome hack. Going to be one of my favorites. The issue is it is not installing all the DB stuff. (I think) Still have not had anytime to look at it deep.

and do what?

Reupload files? reinstall XML?

Same problem here...

EDIT: Would be good to upgrade to a newer version on fixes... makes it a bit easier for me to find out if something really got updated and what (eventually got fixed). Thanks

EDIT: did the full update (upload and reimport xml) but that didn't fix that bug with enabling vb.Sponsors. After enabling they are still disabled.

Re-upload. Reinstall the XML making sure your choose "Allow Overwrite". It's been incremented to 1.0.3 (just did that this morning; I was a little tired last night). The XML has changed, so be sure to grab the latest zip.

As of last night, this was working for me. Tonight I'll be doing a fresh install of vBulletin 3.5.3 to remove any changes I may have made in my testing.

seem's like you're still a bit tired

now i get a parse error with the actual included product-xml. and yes i'm sure i already used overwrite when reimporting the one wich was online a few hours ago.

Sorry i can't paste the parse error from the import - it redirects me back too fast.
