However, I got these issues as in my first post so I UNINSTALLED and deactivated (I set the settings to drop the tables) and then put that main file in the board root (public_html) - reinstalled, reactivated.
I don't really want it outside the forum at the moment - I have this on my testboard (different MYSQL DB on same server/FTP )at the moment, so I can see how to use it before going to production forum with it.
So I have repeated uninstall/install as above - mainfile is no longer in the public_html.
If you want the file in the forum root, then you do not need the "one level up" file. The package should have included a showcase.php file in the "mybb_root_folder" folder. This file should work as-is with no edits to the file (it will be the one with $forumdir = './'; in it)

As long as you put the contents of "mybb_root_folder" in the folder containing the forum root, you should be good. As you can see the MyShowcase Admin tab in the ACP, file locations should be fine.

The effect of this change is that I am able to add a field, though I do see the php error message flash briefly first.

Glad the write permissions were fixed. I thought I had it coded so that the field edits worked even if the language file was not written. Then it would require manual language uploads. I will double check the code.

myshowcase_fieldsets 119 bytes

When you are viewing this list of caches, just click the name, like myshowcase_fields, and it will output an bunch of data (or a Cache is empty message)

I think I will need access, you can create a temporary FTP/admin account if you like and send me that info. Could you install the ezSQL plugin (or something similar) so I can query the showcase DB tables?
Tonight I will see if I can get the time to wipe out my other unused test domain I have and install 1.6.1 from scratch and the showcase system and see if I can replicate your errors.
Also, please PM me what version of Apache/IIS, PHP and the type and version SQL you are using. It may be a compatibility issue I am not aware of

I have definitely set up my permissions in the creation of the collection (or w/e it's called). The only possible reason I have is that the URL points to a html document even though I haven't added rewrites.
You should be getting a standard 404 not found error if you are trying to use the showcase you setup and did not install the .htaccess rewrites (and SEO is enabled by MyBB)
Did the sample data install? I did make a minor change to it before packaging it up without testing it, but it should have no impact. (this will help me understand the issues LeeFish is having since his did not install)
Permissions work similar to the MyBB system where 'yes wins' so as long as one of the groups you are in has the permissions needed, it should work.
It could also be an issue with cookies. When you view the showcase you created, does MyBB show you as logged in? If the showcase is outside the MyBB root and you cookies for MyBB are not set to root path, then you wont be logged in and will get a no permissions error if you do nto allow guest to add.
As you can tell, this is a very complex add-on, so I was expecting some issues on first use on other servers, but not this level of problems.
I apologize to both of you for the inconveniences.
okay so I took a look at the code and installed it on another domain I have (same server mind you) and it is working.
this was a bare domain that had all files deleted and all db tables dropped. installed MyBB 1.6.1 new and installed the plugin new WITHOUT the sample data
I found a couple small issues.
Plugin was not dropping existing tables if enabled due to a setting name problem. However, this does not impact the issues you are seeing.
The other issue (foreach errors) was involving the code trying to update existing data when saving fields and fieldsets but there was no existing data. installing the sample data avoids this, but I have fixed the code to test for exiting data before trying to update it :-)
Also, the $forumdir variable was set in the file intended for the forum root. Looks like I copied the wrong file to that location.
So I have attached 3 files.
showcase.php goes in forum root
myshowcase.php goes in <forum root>\inc\plugins
fields.php goes in <forum_root>\admin\modules\myshowcase
If you two can install these files, set the config to delete tables, uninstall the plugin, reinstall it, then you can give it another shot.
it is working for me at
http://www.headoffroad.com/showcase.php
you can register and test that setup. i'll keep it open for a few days
