It's required that you have debug mode ON when editting/adding some features

DESCRIPTION:

A center product area which allow you to manage all codes/plugins/templates/phrases/settings /crons for any product.
It also add some additional fields to the product, just to save more information with a product
Release Date
Product Author
Extra Information
Install date

The extra information is only available if you install APM, and use APM to export/import other product.
It does not have any conflict with original product. You still can use APM to import standard product, or use standard product tool to import APM's product files.

INSTALL:
1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server
2. Import XML product (product-adv_product_management_XXX.xml) using vBulletin standard product import tool.
3. Refresh menu panel to display Advanced Product Management link in Plugin System section

{optional} - Re-import product-adv_product_management.xml using APM import product tool, with Allow Overwrite = Yes
This step is inserting more information into the product.
* CAUTION: DONOT use APM to import the product itself (product-adv_product_management.xml) BEFORE step 2.

UPGRADE:
1. Upload all files in UPLOAD folder to your server (replace the old files
2. Import XML product with "Allow Overwrite" option checked
3. Enjoy!

I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS>>> {optional} - Re-import product-adv_product_management.xml using APM import product tool, with Allow Overwrite = Yes
This step is inserting more information into the product.
* CAUTION: DONOT use APM to import the product itself (product-adv_product_management.xml) BEFORE step 2

This needs to be updated for vBulletin 4.1.11+, so we can add Master Mobile Style templates to our products.

[DirtRider]

Something I would really like to see this mod do is also delete all associated files to any mod that it uninstalls

[BirdOPrey5]

There would be no way to know what files are used by what mod. Files aren't listed anywhere in the xml files.

This mod needs to be updated to handle the navigation stuff in vB 4.2.0. It does not save any navigation items when exporting.

Coder last active in 2010 and no longer licensed. Not likely to happen.

I'm sure someone will come up with a fix for it and post it in here.
