Fixed: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home2/bear/public_html/forums/includes/sessions.php on line 262 - vvbugs_settings.xml (new exported data from the HTL generator)
Fixed: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=22 (add the function inside bugs.php to help it cashe the bugs types everytime you load the page if a new one is not in the list.
Updated: readme.txt (a few grammer issues that I overlooked.)

As of 4/17/04, 9:47am EST

As of 4/20/04, 1:38am EST
Fixed: bugsadmin.php had had a program with the "add" and "edit" fuctions.

Sourceforge.net - New home for this hack under the direction of the group "vBulletin Modification Packages". Visit us at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vbmodificatiopk/ . (Best place to post bug reports. Ironic isn't it?)

I found a bug: In AdminCP when you add a bug and select the Type, Severity, Status, and Assigned to it creates duplicate choices, e.g.:

Severity
Minor Middle Critical Minor Middle Critical

Are you using the new version of bugsadmin.php I attached two posts back?

Yes I am.

I will take a look at it also. I been updating the CVS server on SF manually since 8am.

Is there a way to only allow registered users to view bugs?

[Shane]

Would have to create a toggle for that. But right now only guests can view the listing and not the acuall report.

Seems like vbulletin.com guys already fixed most issues with old vb-bugs in their own install:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs.php
Also I see numerous new features added. Maybe we can persuade them to open their fixes and enhancements to public?

EDIT:
Oops, I was wrong about the precedence, just found that vbulletin's own bug tracker appeared first and vb-bugs is just an attempt to re-implement it. Anyway, the proposal to release their bug tracker code is still valid

It is, and I wish they would, but they aren't, or at least they aren't replying to requests to do so

It's ok, I've added in most of their functionality (such as view bugs you started/posted in) plus added some (such as a toggle to hide closed bugs and color coding by state). Working on the email subscription now. Ha! By the time we are done they will install our hack. Well maybe not, but it's fun to think about

That said, they would save me a whole lot of time if they would share their email subscription code....

Simple eval at the top of the file. Might add a whole usergroup/permission option in the admin later, like vbArcade has.

Indeed, it's a pity to see such a waste of time spent in reinventing the wheel...
