Question Can't Get Plugin Installed

Uploaded all files with no issue.

Went into the control panel to add the plugins - browsed to the XML file... it starts to run and outputs:

Plugin & Products System
Importing Product, Please Wait...


Updating Version Number To: 1.0.0

Altered Table: vb3_administrator
Altered Table: vb3_forum
Altered Table: vb3_post
Altered Table: vb3_user
Altered Table: vb3_usergroup
Created Table: vb3_dbtech_thanks_entry
Updating Version Number To: 1.0.1

Updating Version Number To: 1.1.0

Altered Table: vb3_dbtech_thanks_entry
Altered Table: vb3_forum



And at that point - nothing more happens and eventually things time out.

Suggestions on how to get this up and running? Was trying out the Lite version and if I got it working, would most likely purchase before the weekend as I believe in supporting quality products.

Thanks!
JOHN

Tried to re-import - got this:

Tried to uninstall and reinstall - but I can't remove it either. I'm in a pickle. Would really like to use this.

First of all, the reason why it failed in the first place is that the Post table needed altering, but it's very large on your forum.

Secondly, try running then run the import again

Thanks - greatly appreciate the response. Figured that might be the case.

OK - it did finally run and looks like it's installed - however, the buttons aren't showing.

Also in the user location/join/post area - the post thanks/like stats do show - but they are expanded by default. Is there a way to have those collapsed by default? Formatting wise, I'd prefer this to be a mostly something that allows folks to like a thread - but I don't need everyone's stats expanded.

See screenshot below about both items...

I apologize if I am missing a step. On the lite version (downloaded today), when you bring up the documentation.html - much of it is missing from the file. The outline is there but the text and images in the individual sections aren't showing. Just letting you know in case you weren't aware.

Little by little, I'm getting there. Figured out why the buttons aren't showing (needed to set permissions for each button - this is where having a instruction page working would help I guess).

SO - last question:

How do you allow the postbit info to show but not expanded by default. I'd like to have it visible but if the default is showing all that - then I'll just have to turn it off.

Thanks again for your assistance.

I have 2 boards - one on vb 3.8 and one on 4.2.

- On the 3.8 the postbit info is expanded by default.
- On 4.2 it's collapsed by default.

Is that a limitation of 3.8 or is something working incorrectly on my install?
Also on 4.2, I see the profile integration. On 3.8, I don't see any stats in users profiles.

Lastly, is the ability to remove a like or dislike etc only a feature of PRO?

It is a limitation, yeah.

Are you referring to the "Thanks" profile tab? If so, you may have a mod conflict on your 3.8 forum.

That's correct
