The simple way to learn it is to output the bits of data in the while loop can call the actual template outside of the while loop :)

haha, thanks everyone...... i usually do $poll = ""; and such, i have done alot of little things to my forum ;)

i made a script that uses the forum usernames and passwordst o login with :)

a new question.... i have 8 different styles, and 5 out of them are very different from the rest.. so how would I go about focring a style? i'd wanna use a styleid but how do you force it... oh wait nm!

would that work?

or wait i could even use
$session['styleid']

which would be better?!

thanks :)

I'm not sure if either would work given how the engine works...however $session['styleid'] would probably be cleaner (or maybe even $bbuserinfo['styleid']).

when i originally wrote up my script above here i did use
$bbuserinfo['styleid'];

but really all you have to do is reset the string to 1 or whatever styleid you wish to use....


i'm gonna take a look at index.php or oen of those files see how it's done, shouldn't be difficult.

thanks again :)

Try looking specifically at forumdisplay.php because one of the options for a forum is to override the style set :)

yeah that's what i was thinking ;) good call on that one :)


i'll let you know if i figure this out, it's pretty cool :)

i'm happy to say that my raffle hack was a 100% success :)

and is now up and running on few beta tests!!!

this was based upon LOGICIAN WEBTEMPLATE & WEBQUERY HACK, a very powerful hack :)

i used his page to show a raffle template and i wrote in all my functions into his php page entitled show.php

i like it :)

not sure if I should actually make an install file and put her up on here, but I'd ask logician first ;)

thanks alot for your help!
