vBET and vBulletin 3.6

[vBET]

NOTE: This instructions are working for vBET 3.3.4 We have confirmation that those are not working with vBET 3.3.6 version. We will update it when it will be possible (vB 3.6 is not officially supported and we need access to some forum on such old version).
NOTE: This integration will made your archive pages to be able to translate, but EXCEPT archive sub-forum pages - there is bug in vBulletin which do not allow to do that.

This article describes additional integration steps required for vBulletin 3.6 (tested on 3.6.12). Please note that vBET 3.x oficially supports vBulletin 3.8. Still some of our clients successfully run it on vB 3.6 (or 3.7). And because 3.6 is not officially supported it requires some additional steps during installation and upgrade. Those steps will allow your archive pages to work and be translated correctly.

NOTE those steps are necessary if:
- You are working without vBSEO.
- You are using language= links
If you are using vBSEO and/or vBET SEO translation links, then please first check does your archive pages are working and translating well after vBET installation – if yes, then do NOT made any of additional steps.

Installation additional steps (do only once):
1. Copy directory (with all content) upload/images to your archive directory on your FTP

Update additional steps (do every time when you update vBET:
1. Disable plugin 'Handle flags in archive' for hook archive_process_start (Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager)
2. Open file includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_hooks.php
3. Find:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.com/forum/images/vbet/flags/vbet.css"/>';

4. Change relative link images/vbet/flags/vbet.css to absolute one in your archive directory, like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://YOUR_FORUM_URL_HERE/archive/images/vbet/flags/vbet.css"/>';

5. Find:

: '').'><img class="vbet-flag vbet-'.$code.'" width="16" height="11" src="http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.com/forum/images/vbet/flags/clear.gif" alt="'.$name.'" '

6. Change relative link images/vbet/flags/vbet.css to absolute one in your archive directory, like:

: '').'><img class="vbet-flag vbet-'.$code.'" width="16" height="11" src="http://YOUR_FORUM_URL_HERE/archive/images/vbet/flags/clear.gif" alt="'.$name.'" '

EDIT:
If in your can not see flags in your archive, make this additional steps:
1. Enable plugin 'Handle flags in archive' for hook archive_process_start (Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager)
2. Edit plugin - Handle flags in archive
3. Find line

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.com/forum/images/vbet/flags/vbet.css"/>';

4. Change relative link images/vbet/flags/vbet.css to absolute one in your archive directory, like:

$metatags .= '
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://YOUR_FORUM_URL_HERE/archive/images/vbet/flags/vbet.css"/>';

5. Save

I installed v336 today and I applied the so called fixes but they don't work anymore, I've noticed some changes in the new files, can't you update this thread too when you update the versions? I had 2/3 hrs of downtime to get my site up and running again, this angers!!

[mario06]

Where's the support?

[vBET]

Thanks for your note. Please take our apologies that we didn't answer on Sunday, we didn't consider this issue critical.

Please send Kamil PM with access details to your forum and link to this issue. Because we do not officially support vBET 3.6 we need access to someone server to be able to work on this issue.

[mario06]

I don't understand "We don't support 3.6"? I paid you an extra 30 dollars for the 3.6 mod and I pretend that on every update you keep this in mind with the relative updates, I will not send anyone my login details anymore because on August 7th someone tried to attack me through SSH.

I want a fix asap.

Regards

[kamilkurczak]

hello,

Now, I will be try to find and fix this issue.
We cant reproduce this issue on our test forum so I need to have a full access to your forum admincp and FTP. Please sent it to me by PM.
Ofcourse, I will not change your forum traffic

[mario06]

what do you mean you canot produce this error?

Your the compiler of vbenterprisetranslator_functions_hooks.php of version 334 so you should know what you changed in version 336 and apply detailed instructions.

A person can not give out his server details for every little problem, if you can not update this for me refund my money, when vbulletin.com update their board that don't overhaul the entire coding system otherwise all mods applied afterwards would be dead.

A little good sense should be used when updating this product, I'm getting angry because the same things are said over and over -> server and ftp :/

[kamilkurczak]

We cant reproduce this issue because

vBET 3.x oficially supports vBulletin 3.8

not 3.6 and we use vBulletin 3.8 versions (on this forum and our test forum).
Michał sent to me his applications and now I know more in this thread.
As Michał wrote - please, PM to me your admincp andftm details.

[mario06]

I know what you officially support because you keep on reminding me over and over and over again BUT I paid 30Dollars extra for this 3.6 compatibility addon/fix so that it could be ""officially supported"".

Did you read the fix that Michael posted on the first post of this thread with the relative 2 step fix for vBulletin 3.6.12 and vBET 3.3.4? Since you coded the 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 of the vbenterprisetranslator_functions_hooks.php I don't see why you can't find the 2 additional steps for 3.6 because this confuses me?!?

I will not PM you my server data because everything is explained in the first post so fix it in the 3.6 version and email me the php files and I'll take care of uploading it.

I'm getting very frustrated with the same response.

Furthermore since Michael did start supporting 3.6.12 with charging me the extra fee he could support others that have it too, the problem is a "simple archive problem" that was resolved with 2 simple steps, maybe you should put up version 3.6.12 in local mod since its occupies 120mbs I don't know where the problem is.


Mr. kamilkurczak, do I need to post the PayPal Transaction ID for the additional 30 Dollars that I paid???????

[vBET]

Please note that you didn't paid for us to officially support old version of vBET - you paid for integration specific version of vBET with your vB version in area of archive translations.

We do not officially support vB 3.6 and you can read this in first post here. I never started officially support vB 3.6 - please read first post of this thread again. I never charged you for supporting vB 3.6 - please read our PM again and please do not confuse my employee by false statements. Once again - you pid for integration of vBET version existing then with your vB version on area of archive translation. You do not need to post PayPal transaction Id - service which you paid was already delivered.

Because we do not officially support old versions we cannot guarantee that future releases of vBET will be also compatible with those. And in case if not we cannot solve issues without access to real forum - we do not officially support versions older than 3.8 and because of that we do not have testing environments or that.

If you want have your issue solved please just fallow given instruction. By not doing this you not allowing us to help you. If you want help - please fallow instructions. If not - then issue is closed. We are not able to help you when you do not allow us to do this.

Please note that we do not have to made anything in area of vB 3.6 - it is not officially supported. We offer you free help here. You can take this offer or refuse it, it is your choice, but please do not blame us for your choices.
