I've updated to version 0.0.4

Borrowed the install script from evil3's troll MOD and moved most language edits into their own language files.

Great MOD, agree that the notifications could be displayed better as well and would like to see this or something like it incorporated as a standard feature

The schema files are being created with no problems. They simply won't install now with the install script provided by evil3 This is the install script <?php /** * Load a schema (and execute) * * @param string $install_path Path to folder containing schema files * @param mixed $install_dbms Alternat...

Ahh just found this thread, excellent, will make use of this on all future projects!

Yea I know, the install file shocks a few people.

It takes me 28 minutes to complete all code changes, sql queries, run the install files and clear the cache a few times.

I could probably streamline the install file a little as well.

Ok, will try to explain as best I can. For example, My loginname: xceler8shun Username: shane Your loginname: harmlessgoat22 Username: david If I try to make my login name harmlessgoat22 I cant, as it performs the same checks as the usual username function., the same if I tried to change my username...
