Another tiny question:

What is the default criterion for a thread to show up on in the threads view?

I have noticed that threads that are in the news forum do not show in the threads view unless they are move/redirects. I think I want all approved threads to show, even though this will cause redundancy. I also just posted a new thread into a non-news forum, and it didn't show in threads, even though many others are popping up.

How should I tweak the query?

If you mean the latest threads block then threads in the news, poll and redirects shouldn't show up. You just need to edit them out of the WHERE clause in the threads query.

Thanks! Sounds pretty easy.

Is it hard to add and apply a new template? I want to add a links section below the news but above the footer, and it will have a lot of form/dropdown code, so I wanted to keep it separate if possible? Am I too lame at this point to attempt it?

i think its sad that u got that pissed over something so trivual in the first place.. also i think that no one ever said u had to provide full support theres other folk who have installed this hack and had problems who are more than happy to help folk.

Who knows this hack better? Me or the other users? I think me. I ask that users read the thread as it cuts down on the amount of crap, usless, spam, duplicate questions etc in this thread. I esitimate that 80 odd percent of the thread is near useless now, due to the new version and the repeat questions. If people want help, here in this thread then I ask users follow my instructions, otherwise the thread will be closed, its as simple as that.

I ask that you don't waste any more space within this thread with pointless posts with no relevence to anything other than the fact you don't agree with the way I do support for this hack, which many, many users have been happy with.

If you want extra templates look at the bottom of the file where the left and right templates are done, just copy one of those lines and change the variable, either $left, $right and the name of the template. Make sure to add it to the $templatesused list at the top too :)

Which files are where $left and $right are done? I know the templates and the templates that use them. Also where is the $templatesused list?

Sorry I am such a noob :dead: !

Its all done within vBindex.php search for $left to see how to declare the variable to use in the home template and how to say what template it relates to.

Make sure you add the template name to $templatesused right at the top of the file.

LOL, colicab-d has the right idea. calm down its over with. either you are just some goofy kid or your an adult with issues...Its called getting over things. so try it. It may help you in the long run.

and besides, I never asked NTLDR for assistance just in general...

thanks

:p ah horse feathers :p
