IPS is constantly looking for ways to improve, and one area of focus is documentation. We get a lot of feedback regarding documentation, and quite frequently the feedback we receive is, unfortunately, too vague to act on specifically. It's always a pleasant delight to get specific, focused feedback on how we can improve.

We're glad to announce the release of Project Tools 2.0.1 for vBulletin 3.7.x/3.8.x as an open source community project. We see this as the natural step for the product. Control of the product will fall to the Project Tools team that has been doing updates to the PT 2.1.x Series product for vBulletin 4.x Series. They will continue to be focused on PT 2.1.x and as such, the likelihood for future PT 2.0.x version releases is minimal. However, they will oversee any future releases.

It is an open source product, so if you want to contribute to the project please visit the open source forum on vBulletin.org.

Compatibility

vBulletin Project Tools 2.0.1 for vBulletin 3.7.x/3.8.x Series is compatible with both vBulletin 3.7.x Series and vBulletin 3.8.x Series. If you are using an expired older version of the 3.x Series you will need to purchase a vBulletin 4 Series License or a vBulletin 3.x 3 month maintenance pack in order to use Project Tools Open Source 2.0.1 with a vBulletin 3.7.x or 3.8.x license.

Upgrading/Installing Project Tools

Upgrades and new installations of the Project Tools follow the same process: upload the files and import the XML. After this, you will see a message that your upgrade or install was successful. For full instructions on how to upgrade or install, please see this manual entry.
(Note: The download will come from vBulletin.org, not the members area as noted in the doc.)

It has come to our attention that 3.8.6 contains a security exploit related to the FAQ. If you have already installed vB 3.8.6, then follow these instructions in order to fix this:

1. First, download the 3.8.6 PL1 patch here:

http://members.vbull...com/patches.php

2. Delete the existing vbulletin-language.xml file from your 'install' directory. Then upload the new one to that directory. Make sure you upload this in ASCII format.

3. Next upload the two files in that patch:

includes/version_vbulletin.php
install/vbulletin-language.xml

4. Go into your Admin CP and run this:

Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Download/Upload Languages -> Import Language XML File

Then leave the settings as they are and click on Import.

Also please note that if you have not upgraded to 3.8.6 yet, the download has already been patched.
