Bug False branding free key

[gortelli]

Hi to all...

I've recently purchased a branding free version of vbDonate 1.4.1 a2 (VB5). I've donwloaded the Branding Free key... but in the readme I see this information:

1. Open the AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> DragonByte Tech: vBNavTabs - General Options.

When I follow the instruction and I put my key in vBulletin I see the following error:

Error:
You did not enter a valid value for this setting.

I've written the key without space, as describen in the readme.

My question: perhaps I've received the key for the vBNavTab and not for the vBDonate?

I've released Alpha 3 of vBDonate for vB5 which should solve this issue.

Thanks for the quickly answer...

now it's ok...

but I have a new issue... when I click on the button Contribute I see only a new blank page... there's no forwarding to paypal... I've tried it on firefox and on IE

 

[Fillip H.]

This should now be fixed, please try re-downloading the .zip file, re-uploading the files and re-importing the XML.

I've done... but I've the same result...

Ah, it seems like vB 5.0.2 doesn't have the change that the new version of vBDonate relies on.

Please open /index.php and find

switch ($controller) {
	case 'activity':
		$class = 'Activity';
		break;
	case 'admin':
		$class = 'Admin';
		break;
	case 'ajax':
		$class = 'Ajax';
		break;
	case 'auth':
		$class = 'Auth';
		break;
	case 'channel':
		$class = 'Channel';
		break;
	case 'conversation':
		$class = 'Conversation';
		break;
	case 'createcontent':
		$class = 'CreateContent';
		break;
	case 'poll':
		$class = 'Poll';
		break;
	case 'page':
		$class = 'Page';
		break;
	case 'test':
		$class = 'Test';
		break;
	case 'uploader':
		$class = 'Uploader';
		break;
	case 'search':
		$class = 'Search';
		break;
	case 'filedata':
		$class = 'Filedata';
		break;
	case 'registration':
		$class = 'Registration';
		break;
	case 'profile':
		$class = 'Profile';
		break;
	case 'style':
		$class = 'Style';
		break;
	case 'video':
		$class = 'Video';
		break;
	case 'link':
		$class = 'Link';
		break;
	case 'relay':
		$class = 'Relay';
		break;
	case 'privatemessage':
		$class = 'PrivateMessage';
		break;
	case 'report':
		$class = 'Report';
		break;
	case 'infraction':
		$class = 'Infraction';
		break;
	case 'hv':
		$class = 'Hv';
		break;
	default:
		$class = 'Main';
		break;
}

$class = 'vB5_Frontend_Controller_' . $class;

Replace with

$class = 'vB5_Frontend_Controller_' . ucfirst($controller);

It should work then

Once vB 5.0.3 is released, that change will no longer be necessary.

 

[gortelli]

Yeah... now it work perfetly... thanks a lot!

No problem, sorry for all the trouble this has given you

vB5 is currently very much in a state of flux, they are changing a great many things to make it much more friendly to addon developers as well as fixing their internal stuff like CSS to make it easier to work with for designers.

Their progress is quite amazing, however unfortunately sometimes it leads to a point where I'm developing on the latest version available to me (in this case vB 5.0.3) and not realising that some of the changes I'm relying on are not a part of vB 5.0.2 (the release version).
Couple that with the fact that I failed to re-test each and every area of all of my vB5 mods to ensure compatibility with the changes and you get lots of scrambling to quickly fix something that broke without me realising it

That's also why the vB5 mods are flagged as Alpha - what works in 5.0.2 probably doesn't work in 5.0.3 etc
