A whole slew of n00b questions

[plazzman]

Ok I'm doing some tinkering with my VB 3.8.1

I have a few questions, was hoping I could get some answers, as you guys were quick to help me before as well.

1. In the older version that I used to use, I remember there being a vba_cmps function, but my newer version doesn't have it. Is that ok, or should I get me on, and if so, where from?

2. I would like to add a "New Posts" button/function to my forum. How do I go about doing this?

3. I also don't have a module setting in my ACP, I am looking to add some ads. How do I got about doing this.

Very sorry if I sound like a total n00b, and thank you very much in advance for the help.

1.) vba_cmps is a 3rd party modification for vBulletin. It is not a Jelsoft product. You can find it here: http://www.vbadvanced.com/

2.) In the style's navbar, there should be a link for "new posts". It might be in the "quick links" menu. If not, you can edit your style and include a link to search.php?do=getnew to get to "new posts".

3.) There are various advertisement methods. You'll have to do your research and pick and choose which ones you'd like to use. Here's a quick listing.

Thanks so much

Is there any way I can make this function into a button at the top of the page instead of in the Quick Links?

You need to edit a template in your style (skin).

As for where you put the button, it doesn't really matter. I guess most people would put it in the navbar template.

Wow, I'm really sorry man, but I'm sort of lost.

This is my site (www.fightlockdown.com/forum). Up top where the 8 buttons are, I want to add a "New Posts" button.

Let's say I have the button image already.

Could you please give me a brief step by step of where to go, and were to insert the code?

And do I just need this code "search.php?do=getnew", or is there more?

Sorry for the slowness.

Was wondering if anyone could possibly help me?

Thanks, sorry for DP

go to the template your buttons are located and add

<td width="50" height="55"><a href="search.php?do=getnew"><img src="where your button is located" width="50" height="55" border="0" alt="" /></a></td>


the code was taken from your site so i'm assuming you want the new posts button the same size and width.

Change the img src to the location where your button is located!

You're the man thanks!

Last question, would this go into:

Templates > Navigation/Breadcrump > Navbar?

Thanks alot!
