You need to edit the home_left and home_right templates. As I've already said in the thread customising the templates and the look is the users job. I provide a default layout, thats all.

genius.
thank you very much buddy... knew i could count on you.


mv540, just add several <tr><td>info</td></tr> on both the left and right templates.

if you need more detail than that, you need to learn html before you start modifying this hack.
just a suggestion

Ok, my news is havin the same problem, news title but no text is showin up. I tried the update counter in the acp and that didnt work. Im usin 2.2.8 and i have the news forum in public so anybody can post in it. Any help?

You haven't followed the instructions properly. Please go back through and check each step, this works fine in 2.2.8.

OMG, yep, i was doin two sites and i just skipped a couple things :) doh!! Thnx hehe Thanks for the awesome hack and for the quick reply.

No problem ;) I know how easy it is to miss the odd step out :)

I think this is the right thread for the version I have ^_^

I just got it installed, so please ignore how nothing is customized yet. You can log-in under guest/guest if you need to test something. :)


Three things.

1) [url=http://www.erecellstudios.com/Image1.jpg]This[url] should explain everything. I just don't know where to put it.

2) If you switch skins, the header and footer stay as the default, and it looks really funky. Although it's probably because I havn't done step 11 yet. :)

3) How can I put it so that the latest thread list doesn't include the admin-section threads when being viewed by a regular user?

I haven't installed this hack yet but I am considering it for one of my sites.

koggit: $bburl is usually the URL to your forums WITHOUT the /index.php - you put $bburl in there just after the first " in all anchor tags, then slash, then member.php or calendar.php or whatever.

So it looks like these examples:

<a href="$bburl/memberlist.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">

and

<a href="$bburl/usercp.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">

But this is only the case if the vbindex file is not in the same directory as the forums. With your forum, you have the vbindex file in the same directory, so you shouldn't need to add $bburl anywhere

Thanks, man. Instead of just giving me an answer, you explained it. Very helpful for someone like me, a noob to all scripting languages. ;] Thanks.

So, if I don't need to modify that, then what's the problem with the header/footer? =\

2. Copy the header and footer templates to the home_header and home_footer templates of all your styles, making sure you add $bburl to the links as explained above if its not in the forums directory.

3. Check back a few pages this has been covered lots and lots of times.
