sorry if this question was already answered here before, but i really don't have the time to scour every post in this thread...

question #1:

let's say that i decide to do this upgrade, what will happen the next time i upgrade vbulletin? i spoke to someone running this very same hack on his board and he recommended that i install this hack on every other template except the main 3.0.0 so that there's no problem when i upgrade. is there any truth to this? and is this recommended?

question #2:

ok, i updated all the files and i'm ready to start updating the postbit and the navbar sections on each of my templates (i have 5 in total, not counting the 3.0.0). well, i found everything i needed to find on the postbit section, but when i went to the navbar, i couldn't find this line (i'm using the classic vbulletin template with different color variations on each of the 5 templates):

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

what do i do in this case?

thanks in advance for your help.

The first question to your questions is 'what is the main 3.0.0 you refer to?'.

*edit* Ah. When you say 'template' you mean 'style', and when you say 'classic vbulletin template' you mean 'vBulletin 3 Classic Style'.

The answer to the second question is 'put the code into the navbar template where you want the Arcade link to appear'...but with that style it's up to you where it goes. I think I put mine in the quick links or one of those other dropdown menus.

yes, i meant 'classic style.'

so, whenever it's time to upgrade vbulletin is it ok to make the 3.0.0 style the default (the one w/out the hack) and everything will go through without any trouble?

I spose that would be one way of doing it.

Whenever I upgrade, I do the whole thing from scratch...rehacking all the files and starting on fresh styles.

I am getting a blank page on the arcade.php. what is the fix?

Have you got more than one style installed?

If yes, try another style as it might be that the templates have only gone onto one style and not all of them. If this is the case then make your other styles child styles of the style with the arcade templates in.

I'm embarrased to even ask this, but I'm completely stumped. Where are these templates that I need to modify. Are they something I can edit in notepad or through the AdminCP? -- I searched the options in the AdminCP, and all I show is the default template. Am I missing something?

This is where I'm at in the installation quide:

Goto your AdminCP and login follow this path
Styles & Templates>Style Manager here you find the templates there is a button like << >> press-it, now you see all templates. With the style manager you can edit alot just take a look.

If you have more then one style then you must make all changes to all styles other wise one style will have the function and the other will not.

Killer thank you

Installed and works perfectly.

Just one question, in the navbar (under Search) there is another search field for the Arcade. How do I get rid of that. I have looked in the navbar template and I can't seem to find it. I have probably looked at it a number of times but still no luck. Am i even looking in the right place??

Any help would be great, thanks. :)
