Parse error: parse error, expecting `']''

in showthread.php i got this error............anybody any idea?

It works great, just this issue.

FIXED!

No, i'm not just bumping this great hack :D

I'll send showthread too because it's not working right in there too... Thank you. :)

g-force22 see attach file that is my problem...

i download ur new install file...

and another problem i already install ""cumston prefix"" this hack

after i installed urs and it cannt work...so can u fix that??

How do I make it so that threads that are stuck in the forum don't have this other sticky please?

I see you're away at the moment g-force2k2, I hope all is ok...

You fixed my forumdisplay problem, but it still does not work in showthread. It does not show the links where I can make the thread answered.

I sent you a PM, please let me know if you need me to send showthread.php.

Many Thanks!

Tim

yeah sorry im didn't realize you were having an issue with the showthread.php file i sent you the fixed file... let me know what happens.. (hopefully i attached the file) sorry about the misunderstanding... regards...

g-force2k2

It didn't attach unfortunately. :D

Could you be so kind to resend?

Thank you. :)

Looks like good stuff, I'll install it tomorrow morning as I'm too tired right now... :p

OK I installed it, but none of the stuff shows. In the query I put forumid '6,7'. (Without quotes) Should I have put '6 , 7'?

I wonder how Tim could place images before the postinginfo, how did you do this Tim (or someone else)?

The images don't show up here in showthread either.

@ Nuclion:

Had the same problem.

I just copied the helpbutton template directly in the showthread template. Now it does show up!

Hp

Thx a very fine hack.

I'm having some trouble getting those sql queries to work. I get a syntax error message for each:

Any help would be appreciated. I'm new when it comes to mysql so I don't really know what to do.

Can't find the code


Or

:(

search for $timezone and Thread</b> and it will turn up..

installed somehow......but i dont find any options there :(

Hmm... try creating it in your /admin/setting.php file. Run it in your browser and do the following steps:

Forum Display Options > click [add setting]
Title: Help Forum
Variable Name: HELPforum
Value 16
Description: The forumid of the forum that you want the Forum Help Option to avialable in. (to make available for multiple forums simply separate each forumid with a comma!)
Code to generate option:
Display Order: 15

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Forum Display Options > click [add setting]
Title: User Question Answered
Variable Name: HELPdone
Value: [Answered]
Description: The name of the prefix for thread where the user has been helped! (You may use HTML.)
Code to generate option:
Display Order: 16

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Forum Display Options > click [add setting]
Title: User Question Unanswered
Variable Name: HELPundone
Value: [Un-Answered]
Description: The name of the prefix for the thread where the user is awaiting help! (You may use HTML.)
Code to generate option:
Display Order: 17

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forum Display Options > click [add setting]
Title: Help Thread Status
Variable Name: HELPopen
Value: 0
Description: Close that particular thread once help is provided?
Code to generate option: yesno
Display Order: 18

-----------------------------------------------------------

That should do it for you. They'll be in the vBulletin Options page.

wowowo really it worked now on the test forum....but a question if i need to intall on my orginal forum can i follow the same procudure or run mysql queries manually ?

I would do whatever steps you did on the test forum since it worked. If it works once, it should work twice.

Anyone?

How do you run a query?

i love this hack but i was wondering if any one could help me out on telling me wat i need to do so i can add more options to it like a drop down menu and more selection instead of the "answered" and "unanswered" ones like "repeated question" , "More Help" something like that

any plans for a vb3 version of this?

Me! make sure that you did not block out the line afterwards.

If not post the code around my code and I will see what I can do.

Wolfman I will work on a port to vb3.

Cheers,

$helpoption = iif($foruminfo[forumid] == $HELPforum,'0','');

shouldn't this be
$helpoption = iif($foruminfo[forumid] == $HELPforum,'0','1');
to set if the thread is specified?

anyway i can't make it to work...
it doesn't show up...
i'll have a look later

the vars
$HELPforum
$HELPundone
$HELPdone
(which come from the db table setting)

aren't available in forumdisplay.php
that's why the prefix isn't shown....
the rest works

how can we make them available?

ok you have to go to the control panel and save your vbulletin options :)
that way the new setting is loaded :)

one last thing:
Note: If you want to add an image (button) instead of the word link simply replace '[ Thread Helped ]' with:
<a href='{imagesfolder}/image_name_here.gif' border='0' alt='Thread has been helped!'>
Replace 'image_name_here' with the image file name and place the image in your images folder!

the "<a href" needs to be an "<img" tag

<img src="{imagesfolder}/image_name_here.gif" border="0" alt="Thread has been helped!">

Hi g-force2k2,
I was currious if you were still thinking about porting this to VB3? I am working to move my community over, and I really liked having this hack in VB2 in my help forum, and I would like to use it in VB3 because I think it is that good of a hack :-)

Thanks!

This hack is great but is there a version for vB 3.0.7?

And can you replace the text by icons?

*push* Is there any "conversion" of this hack for the 3.0.x yet?
