Would you (or anyone else for that matter) care to explain this a little further? Its an option that I could really use but I'm not sure how to :bored:

I decided that I want to include the redirects, but I wanted to strip each post in the news list down to a linked title. I was using PluhHeadlines hack for this, but I like the way yours adds the post icon (and I am still considering leaving the bi-line info as a sub-header. ) Your code (tweaked) eliminates the need for the Pluh stuff. Cool :)

What code should I replace/add in the threadbits to show who just added the latest post to the thread. Now the thread starter appears (I think).

PS. You really rock. Too bad we are on different continents.

I think it would be cool if you would template up the three main columns if the home template and also add a template for the welcome box. This would make it a bit easier to really move things around. I really like how the rest is done. I am learning how to really use templates from your example, but this would just be icing on the cake.

I want to move the contents of the welcome panel into the left column where the user navigation sits in the default layout, but I am having great trouble. When I try to call the avatar image with $avatar, but it obviously isn't that easy. Hints?

Again, great hack, great support.

PS. Feel free to thin out my posts as you see fit.

The welcome panel part is all in the home template, I didn't see a great deal of point seperating it out. You can use $avatarimage in other templates that are evaluated after the users avatar is found. If adding $avatarimage doesn't display your avatar in the template move all the code between these two lines:


Above:

They can then be used in the menu specific templates.

Use $lastposter in the home_threadbit template instead of $starter

I have been trying this in the home_logout template, and I can't seem to get it working. Actually, none of the dynamic stuff seems to show up. Here is my current code:


:classic: Never mind.... I got it working.

BTW, the $lastposter thing works fine.

I have installed this about three times I followed all the directions as best as I could. I did all the aditions stated but when I try to view the page I get this series of errors

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ultimaforce.net/httpdocs/vbindex.php on line 26

I am not running it on the forum directory I want it to be at http://www.ultimaforce.net/

when ever I click that link it tells me forbiden but when I enter http://www.ultimaforce.net/vbindex.php I get the series of errors shown above

Can you please help me ?

I installed this great hack on my site, but the news content does not show up, only the title of threads. I've read this thread about this problem, and tried everything in ACP -> Counters things (couldn't find the one with postid), using vbb 2.2.9

thanks for helping :)

Hello, great hack!

Which templates do I need to modify if I want to add more tables with diff content on the sides?

Also, what addons are available and where can I see them/

Thanks a lot,

Once again, great job,
