Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

That is not a php version error, that is a vBulletin version error. This mod require vBulletin 3.6.7 and you are probably using 3.5 as `executionorder` was introduced in version 3.6.

You can try this addon which allows you to install 3.6 version addons on 3.5 version boards.

i love you.

lol ^_^ thanks soooo much MUAH!

For anyone else that has trouble finding out where to place your images, the exact path for placing the images are found by the following:

Right-click on your header image and go to properties. The exact path to your header is usually something like:

yourdomain/forumname/images/misc/etc...

Wherever that header file is at, you need to create a folder called gwowchar and then place the images in there. As stated somewhere in one of the threads here, everyone's styles are different.

There wasn't any documentation on the main addon about this. What would be easier is having an vboption setting for the image path so that we can place the files anywhere we'd like. Otherwise, everything looks good.

Thanks mate.

is it possible to apply a ajax checking system to this so if the text string isn't entered correctly it flags up an error

sometime similar to this
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144869

as i seem to have rather stupid guild members who are unable to read when registering

[Gryphon]

You don't need ajax to accomplish that, though it could be used. The default vBulletin profile field manager has a regular expression field for pattern matching. I just don't know the regex offhand to put in there, I will look into this.

any luck with this yet? had a play myself but no luck so far

Hi, I am getting stuck on creating the user field. What goes in the options box?



This is the error I get after I hit save.

[Noxious]

your attempting to create a single selection menu, you need to be creating a Multiple-Line Text Box, thats causing the problem

[Noxious]

ok i think i've figured out something with works for the preg_match query

if you want to force people to input the correct format of text copy and paste the following line into the Regular Expression box

[A-Z]+\|[A-Z.+]+\|[A-Z]+\|[A-Z0-9._-]

seems to work for me
