Please share those changes so that if I have missed out something in plugin, I can add it

I think you forgot about ".TABLE_PREFIX." in each the $select_query.

Seems that adding ".TABLE_PREFIX." is not the only one that is missing...

please let me know what other things are missing, i will be more than happy to adopt all the changes which can make this plugin better for use

The problem for me is only about the ".TABLE_PREFIX." in that file. After I modified the code, this plugin works. Good plugin. It is very useful for me. Thank you very much, mastermunj.

Sorry, now it is working for me as well. You have to chande following lines in my_fav_post.php in the root directory:

$select_query = "SELECT f.*, p.subject FROM m_my_fav_post f join m_posts p on f.pid = p.pid
and f.uid=$uid ORDER BY $sort_by $order";

replace with

$select_query = "SELECT f.*, p.subject FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."my_fav_post f join ".TABLE_PREFIX."posts p
on f.pid = p.pid and f.uid=$uid ORDER BY $sort_by $order";

and

$select_query = "SELECT f.*, p.subject FROM m_my_fav_post f RIGHT JOIN m_posts p ON f.pid = p.pid
AND f.uid = $uid WHERE p.pid = $pid";

replace with

$select_query = "SELECT f.*, p.subject FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."my_fav_post f RIGHT JOIN
".TABLE_PREFIX."posts p ON f.pid = p.pid AND f.uid = $uid WHERE p.pid = $pid";

Thank you for this plugin!


Edit:
perhaps you could also integrate an according change of the postbit_classic Template as well.

thanks guys, I made necessary changes and re-uploaded the file, it is again in validation stage. it will be available for download as soon as verified again

File attached with the thread till plugin is in approval stage.

Sorry, one more question:

I started to translate the lang-file into german. However, the template usercp_nav_misc always uses the english version "My Favourite Posts". Do have any idea what to do, that the plugin uses the german lang-file?

Thank you in advance!
