If you say so. Not a way to talk to people looking for help and without having your php knowledge anyway. But, anyhow, I fixed it by modifying your hack!

In the module:

I changed this:

PHP Code:

$db->query_write("UPDATE thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'"); 


for

PHP Code:

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET description = '" . $db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($edit['description'])) . "' WHERE threadid = '" . $db->escape_string($threadinfo['threadid']) . "'"); 


Now it works...

HUM! My pa show you

My Pa say! "you have table with table prefix 'vb_364.thread' then you'll need to prefix when you create this missing table ' You can do it ...

"Your sys not look like my sys! Please remember that!" when make mod I base on vBulletin Default."
You & some other install vb add prefix to it. When error all way say we are... When this mod on my/other sys it work find!

Other things hack db system you asking belong to tnguy3n not my, My modifications of that hack look good but it all way belong to tnguy3n of vbviet.org . I can't published without tnguy3n permission.

I had issues with the exact same error (running on vb3.6.5).

I tried your fix, and nothing happened. But the problem was that it was prefixing a period ('.') in front of the "thread" table, and thus it wasn't recognizing it in the database.

It would be nice to get it fixed.

Hey

Its not working for me, nothing appears when I add/edit a thread.

I modified the 6 templates.
I uploaded the plugin.

Now, in admin cp... I seenothing about this on usergroup settings but I can see on forum manager setting (all set to YES... still not working)

A couple of bugs:

1- When you type in a description and hit "preview" it does not carry the description through. So you have to remember to re-type it or it disappears.

2- When you edit a post you have the box to add/change the description but it does not update with the changes you made to that box.

Adding fast change description by adming and mod ? Using moderation menu ? That will be fun :P And it will be nice to do some default description in admin pannel, and let the admin choose if simple users can change descriptions. :}
