Disable "Remove Comments from HTML Output" Under Misc and see if that fixes it.

Or could disect it one by one option til you find which is causing it so I can look at it if the above doesnt work.

Isn't this something like a "template modification system" with predefined modifications and preinstalled hacks you can toggle on and off?
And is it possible to extend the functionality?

Nice idea!

If so, you've should have installed TMS ages ago.:)

But you mod is nice and has default options to choose from, I tagged it maybe for later use. Thank you for sharing!;)

TMS just didnt do what I really needed and wanted, this is rather a different approach.

cool mod, but its giving me a php error in the who's online page, as i listed in this thread here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1730345#post1730345


so this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /blah/blah/blah/functions_online.php(1170) : eval()'d code on line 31
is only because i have another mod that is trying to use the same hook?

any ideas? ive disabled vb tweak for now, but id love to keep using it, its a great mod for my lazy, non-template editing butt. :D

Look in the Plugins, and disable vBTweaks Online Location Hook. This will resolve it til I find a good fix.

The "Hide vBulletin Copyright" option, is this against the vBulletin terms of service?

I mean, are you allowed to use this option if you have no branding free license?

I dont think so, otherwise buying a brand free license would make no sense

That is for if you want to place it otherwise or customize it somewhat, you can disable the default one.

I installed this and it screwed up the whole layout of my forum. So I uninstalled it until I could figure out what the settings should be. But even with it uninstalled, some of the changes it made remain. I now no longer have links at the bottom for the AdminCP or ModCP. How do I get those back??? Please... Thanks.

ADDED: I manually added these links back in by editing the footer template, but even after that, something is still taking them out. It's like it has a mind of its own now. This is scary. I don't know what else it may have changed that I havne't figured out yet. But I know this - I want those links in the footer, and the system is disallowing them, even after I manually edit the footer template to put them back in!

The product does NOT remove anything, just removes it from showing thru parse templates. Check if you have any plugins lingering to parse templates, cause other than that...its not this product.

Does anyone know of a similar mod that will work with 4.x? I remember using this a couple of years ago and found it pretty handy to have.
