Hello Jane
I’ve just downloaded this plugin and tried to run it but get the message “The plugin requires luasql support……” but when I click “ok” to download the module I get the error message “An error occurred in Download please try later.” I am running FH on a mac via Crossover. Is this the problem?
Many thanks
Unfortunately it was not possible to upgrade this plugin to FH 7 as changes in the FTP protocol at many ISPs means it is not possible to do SFTP with the tools available to the plugin.
