hmm not working for me either :( I activated the forums I must have missed something it seemed so simple

Iron Guard 03-14-2008 07:34 PM

The ability to activate them didn't even show up in my admin panel:confused: I have read every post in this thread and it would seem to me that it has something to do with my template edit....but I am not sure what.

I guess its not about knowing how to turn screws but which screws to turn....I remain hopeful!

When you ask if I am using postbit or postbit_legacy, do you mean in my previous post or within vB for the modificiation

I edited both templates,postbit and postbit_legacy, in each style (dark and default), . Was that correct?

I will post the edited template again with the title...( I hope this is what you meant.)

Which one are you using on your board? Do your posts display with the username and information above the post or beside?

You need to activate the modification on a per forum basis through the Forum Manager.

The posts show with the username above.

As far as activation, I understand they are supposed to show up in the forum manager, however there is no panel in which to enable them.

I even did an uninstall, with a re-install and uploaded "bitfield_guests_first_post_only.xml" manually into /includes/xml/ folder, with no luck

So my question is, was it necessary to do the template edits in both postbit and postbit_legacy for both styles, or should I have chosen only one template in both styles.

Thanks

What steps are you taking to try get to the setting?

It doesn't matter, but I'm just asking so I can concentrate on looking at one template, instead of scanning two.

What steps are you taking to try get to the setting?

ACP>Forums & Moderators>Forum Manager>Edit (in each of the forums I want to activate, but no setting in the edit portion).

Ok, I see. So hopefully I have not missed something somewhere. I appreciate your help.

Has anyone given this a go for 3.7 yet?

Also, dismounted, is it possible to modify this so guests and non-subscribers can only see the first "x" characters of the first post? ... or even just the thread title?

WAIT ... can this be usergroup specified? I'd like only some to see just the thread title?

Also, what's your paypal email so I can donate to you.

That's probably why it's not working. I'm not sure why that happens, but it does sometimes. Try accessing this URL, replacing yoursite.com with your domain.

This probably won't work in 3.7.

Can be modified to do so, but not planned at the moment.

It is planned in the next version, but at the moment, it just restricts guests.

See the donation link under my avatar in the modification post (first post).
