The Bitfield XML must be uploaded before the Product XML is imported, otherwise it will not work properly.
Uninstall the Product and then import the Product XML again.

You're a lifesaver, Kirby. Much appreciated *installs*

[Daniel]

Hmm... not showing up in the Super Moderator permissions, XML bitfield was uploaded before plugin, reinstalled it aswell to confirm, doesn't appear. Anything I could do to fix it?

[Andreas]

Send me a PM with ACP and FTP login details and i'll take a look.
Otherwise I can't help much as I got no idea what could be going wrong.

this needs to be updated for 3.5 gold.

my functions.php doesn't have the same code as mentioned in the installer. and there is now a hook where it asks you to make the file edit.

Re-read the install file. The file edit is no longer used for 3.5.0 Gold. It is for 3.5 RC2 and below only I think.

@Protoman -- From the first post: 1 File Edit (only for Versions < 3.5 RC3)

@Kirby -- with the 05 Oct update, do we need to uninstall/reinstall and reset permissions, or just reload the product over the last one?

[Andreas]

Just overwrite the Bitfiield XML - as said there were just some wrong variables for the phrases.
But It wouldn't hurt to check the permissions afterwards, as you might have set wrong permissions (due to the wrong phrase text being displayed).

[Christine]

That was painless.

Thanks!

Thanks! The only comment I have on this is that when I'm using the inline moderation and choose to delete some post, the option to physically remove the post appears, even though it doesn't work and throws a no permission screen. Any way to avoid that?
