well your by the looks of things running the old vbportal, and for 10 bucks you get the latest version which has a few less querys but not many...

and you get access to all the hacks that are on there.....

sorry man i was talking to dstruct2k as he as kind enough to rubbish your style :)

no i thank you, i'm just learning this stuff, i've even updated/hacked it a little more now :)

Thanks Tungsten.
Good work, I will test it soon

I guess I'm still confused about the NAVBAR part, I added everything and everything is *working*, but, to get rid of the other navbar I just deleted everything in the template "navbar".

Thanks for the great hack BTW, it's very seski :D

really nice, Well done! :)

Slight Issue:

I'm using the category spacer template mod and it appears as though

Posts, Threads, Moderator, etc. is duplicating itself just beneath the welcome panel as seen here:

http://www.black-crown.net/forums

Fixed it.

Had to remove some of that code right before $forumbits.

How can I remove the Login box that is above the Welcome Panel (it's redundant to be there)?

see attachement.

I had this hack on my vB2 boards, now that i changed to vB3 the members would like it back, but, in the vB2 version i had it also stated how many post there had been since last visit, "There have been XXXX post since your last visit".

Anyone know how to add that ?

installed on beta 6 with no probs thanks a lot

rob

Installed it, but, umm, it shows up at the bottom of the page :/

How do i get it up top ? Did i do something wrong ?

I have updated the welcome panel code to be compatible with the javascript changes made in Beta #6 of vB 3.0.0

If you are running Beta 6 and using this add-on, please download the main zip file again and re-apply the changes dealing with the welcome panel login section. :)

Argh... Jelsoft also changed the way that new PMs are indicated. So I updated the welcome panel with that as well.

Download version 3.4 from the first post in this thread. :)

Tungsten, what part of the code would I need to put an if condition statement near so that when a New PM comes, it changes the color of the table behind "Welcome Panel" from my styles variable set color to a defined color (like red)? Which variable/part of code represents the category header in your code?

Plz...? Anyone....?
My members are LTAO because its on the bottom, and now you will LYAO when i tell you i didnt backup the templates for this mod :/

Its been and the bottom for 3 days now :/

/edit: fixed it

I tell you what... let me release version 3.5 of this template modification right now so that you can see how I did this instead. I just included a PMON.GIF and PMOFF.GIF in the welcome panel and change which one is shown if the user has new PMs or not. :)

Check back in a second; I'll update the first post in this thread with the 3.5 release.

I installed the new version for the new PM envelop pic..
But the "view new posts" link disapeared..
U can see it in my forum: http://www.gamestalks.com
What should i do ?

Look for this line in the welcome panel v3.5 mod...

And add this line immediately after it...

GREAT :D working now... Thank you very much..

Ok, got that part too, thanks to Faranth and Belinea in this thread at vb.com <--- click there (why are links the same color as the actual text ? ) [/edit]

I'm running Beta 7, and have installed the latest version of the hack. I'm getting a red X instead of my avatar when I log in, although everything else works OK.

Properties show up as:

http://www.kendo-world.com/forum/ima...ine=1027127040

If I clear cookies, noavatar.gif shows up fine.

Any ideas, please?

Fixed the problem :)

I have a little problem. I store my board's custom avatars in a directory instead of in the database now. They are stored in the folder ./customavatars

How should I change the code so the custom avatars to show up? Currently, I am getting the red 'x'.

Thanks! :)

EDIT: I'm having the same problem as Hamish. I am running beta 7, and have all my avatars in a driectory, not in the database.

When I right click and view the broken avatar's location, I get this:

http://www.bondmovies.com/board/imag...ine=1065505820

How do I make it show the URL to the avatar in the avatar directory and not to the database?

Thuffner, it should have worked for either style of avatar storage. Unfortunately I have reverted a lot of my templates in order to upgrade to Beta 7 and am going to wait until RC1 and the new style comes out before I mess with updating my template mods.


If something has changed with the avatar code, I'll update my mod accordingly as soon as RC1 comes out. ;)

No problem. Looks like the avatars are working on the front page now. Thanks for responding. :)

Excellent addition with the PM icons. However, it makes more sense to me if the blinking PM icon only is displayed when there is a new image. Can I tweak mine to do this?

Thanks Tungste it is so great. see my website change after add your code http://vietmodel.net

Can you also please post how to add the

part please?!
Thanks

Thanks alot for this modification, I try too put on my new vbulletin 3 beta 7 ;) !

Great job !

Still waiting for RC1 or will this be updated for Gamma?

I hope so. Looks nice.

I will be updating this for Gamma very soon. I am slowly making the changes to my own forum and then will release it to you all once I have confirmed that it works. :)

thanks mate :) pld

tnx man.. waiting for it........... :)

Gamma ok? Interesting ...

Definately let us know, nice one!

man, i was hoping this would work for gamma

At present, I am debating on several ways to integrate this into the forumhome template with Gamma. The new style that Kier has graced us with presents a slight challenge in that the navigation bar has greatly improved in asthetics and is not something that I prefer to "mutilate" for the sake of displaying the avatar.

I will likely replace the navigation bar on the forumhome template entirely and incorporate the welcome panel as it's replacement. Then the navbar will take over on all other pages as the default.

Anyway, I have begun testing a few different layouts on my development server and will try to finalize something in the next week or two. Apologies for the delay but the holidays and a last-minute rush on some projects at the office have been sucking away my free time for things like this.

fair do's man. Take care.

Have a good x-mas :)

I added it on my side bar. I agree about not mutilating the top of the page if possible. I would love to put in some other items like Rank etc but havent figured that out yet :(

Yep, I've done that to my new style (test board). Removed navbar altogether and added the welcome panel.

Also, here is a useful tip.. to have the avatar support query executed on forumhome ONLY, do this: :)

in the phpinclude template:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')
{

//avatar support codes here

}
