Testing a product.

[Carnage]

i've written a chess addon for vb which turns threads in a specific forum into a chess board for users to play on. The code itself seems to be working without bugs and has been running for a few weeks on my own forums.

Having never created a product file for a modification this big before i'm worried that i might have forgotten to add something into it - a missing template or setting or potentially worse - a dependancy on another plugin/product i have installed.

As such i'd like someone who has released product files before to do a test install on a dev forum and see if it installs everything thats needed.

if you want to know if everything is fine, you simply have to create a /test/ vbulletin, installing your own vbulletin in a place where only you have access to...

i did not install your script but you'll have to make some template changes...

src="./images/chess/wR.gif"

have to be changed to

src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/chess/wR.gif"

to have correct urls everywhere (vbSEO would crap this out for boards with vbSEO)
also, make everything phrase based... so people can translate your tool without asking you each time...

thanks for the tips, i guess i could test on a clean installed test board - my current one works off a copy of the live database.

As for phrases, this is only an alpha product atm i already have some changes planned before its fully released.

All i need to do now is sort the images out, the ones i'm currently using were provided by a member but i'm not sure where they came from, before i can release this i need images i can legally distribute with it.
