It won't let me go to page 2 on Manage Affiliates in AdminCP.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just edited the file so all the affiliates would show on one page .

Great extention, installed.

[silurius]

Could someone please point me to concise definitions for "in clicking" and "out clicking"?

[2fast4ya]

In the instructions, im having a hard time understanding what the CRON section is, and what it does, or how to even do it. Most importantly, why we set it up,a nd what it does... thx

[2fast4ya]

no support for this?

[kompakt]

Thanks, replacing the bitfield_vbaffiates worked for me.

Cron is in your adminCP, it's a set of tasks/maintenance scripts that you run at times you determine.

AdminCP -> Scheduled Tasks -> Scheduled Task Manager

The scoop on Cron.

The cron in this particular script is "Affiliate Records Dump". I'm not entirely sure what that does since I don't have this installed, but I hope that at least answers part of your question.

The permissions wont show in 3.5.3, even if i did the edits and i even overwrited the bitfield.

[brayden]

I'm getting the no permissions error. I've narrowed it to the this:

PHP Code:

    else
    {  //==== Permissions can be used...no need for settings
            print_no_permission();
    }

Have you set your group permissions?

[Justin761985]

I didnt see anything relating to the affiliates mod within group permissions. Where exactly would I look?

Thanks again,
Justin.

[RaidenDAWG2]

I believe they're in the hack itself...not sure, been a while since I looked at it though, but as I recall...

[ChuanSE]

it shows me :

John, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? 
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

any idea's? i don't have an affiliates setting in my usergroups

[DS MrSinister]

download this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=39640 and upload and Rebuild Bitfields sett the permission.... this should do the trick..

[Spookysalem]

I am getting a message saying

Sorry but the affiliate section of the siteis currently disabled

Found the place to switch it on. cannot find group permissions though now

[yayvb]

Just installed on my board and having the same issue.

[mdavis1984]

maybe we should just try a different plugin for affiliates. No blame going out but maybe if we make plugins or mods we should maybe beta test several times on our own machines before releaseing it out with so many problems. Just my 2 cents. i amsure no one cares.

[workplaybiz]

Any Plans for Upgrading this modification?
Can you release version 2?
I would really like to use this modification, but I don't want to mess up my forum.

[ambrosious]

I tired to uninstall, it left behind the blank tables in the usergroup permissions page along with this error when I try to update any permissions:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Anyone know how to fix this?

[FLMom]

I'm on 3.5.4 also and after following all steps I don't get anything in usergroups. Is there a way to fix this yet? If not does anyone know where I could put code in the .php to enable usergroups. I don't mind going in and adding the IDs by hand.

[Chicago_VLNU_4s]

i installed this while ago, then uninstalled. So when trying to re-installed, it errored. So i had to drop tables through CPanel in order to re-install. But now there's no permisissions in Usergroup manager. Ideas?

[Icehawk002]

Now installed on vb 3.6.1, however the same issues appeared on 3.5.4.

Issue 1. In the affiliates admin only the first page of affiliates is showing there should be 22 pages of affiliates.

Issue 2. Similar only the first page of affiliates in decending alphabetical order shows in the forum.

suggestions and help request

[ReadOrDie]

Seems like a lot of people are getting this error without a fix:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
