vbDrupal 5.2.0 beta 3 released

[elmuerte]

vbDrupal is a fork from the Drupal CMS which integrates Drupal with the vBulletin forum software.
All third party modules and themes for Drupal should also work with this version of vbDrupal.

This version of vbDrupal is based on Drupal version 5.2. It has been designed to work with vBulletin version 3.6. A copy of the vBulletin software is required in order to use this piece of software.

Download vbDrupal 5.2.0 beta 3 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158575&package_id=228684&release_id=528020)

!! THIS IS A BETA RELEASE !!
Everything should work (including installation and updating). But of course I'm not certain if this is actually the case. The beta release is meant for testing purposes only. Do not expect any proper support for this release.
If you encounter any issues please report them on our forum.

Note: the vblist module is undergoing a redesign. The current version is not properly themed yet.

That's it. Only changes from Drupal, no vbDrupal specific features.

There's no product .xml to import in these updates?

I've just installed this, and so far, it's an excellent product. I'm sincerely hoping that I can use this and not have to buy vBulletin's blog product. I'd rather use drupal since it's a more established CMS. Has anyone tried the TinyMCE module with this?

I also get this error when updating modules. Everything updates correctly and is usable, but this error comes across the top of the screen when the update information is displayed:

warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Stat failed for files/css (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /includes/file.inc on line 642.

I don't have a files/css folder or file, and since that folder is optional, I wouldn't think it should be checking it.

[elmuerte]

You should create a directory called "files" (or whatever you have configured for the name of the file storage directory) with write permission for the user the webserver is running as.

A file storage directory is optional, but various modules depend on a location to store files. And often they assume there is a writeable storage directory.
For example the color module in conjunction with the garland theme requires a writeable directory to store the created images and css.
(the color module is the cause of that error)
