Amy,
Thanks for posting.. Well I am under the assumption that the "categories" are the five "all white" (not gray on the left) forums and then the others are the the level 2 forums.. ? There is also another "test" category at the bottom that I just added.
James

No. Categories won't have the Posts, Threads, Last Posts information. They are a single row all the way across. Look at my board. An example of a category is "Epinions"

You need to set your categories to not act as forums.

Amy,
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!! I spent 3 hours trying different things this morning......... and just from your post I was able to figure it out in 2 minutes! I had no idea that "act as a forum" was even an option in the control panel.. I set it to "no" and the banner shows up! Great!
Thanks a LOT!
James

No problem :)

Does this hack work with vBulletin version 2.3.0; can someone confirm, please?

I just got around to making this change. The only problem I'm having is that the text field isn't long enough for the entire URL.

Yes, I just installed it on vbulletin version 2.3.0 and it works fine! Feel free to give it a try. It works fine.

The hack refers users to specific lines in forum.php to replace information, but the lines do not match the number indicated. Just use your "find" and search for the wording instead of looking for the exact line in the file.

Other then that, works like a charm!!

Gabriel

Error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')' in {edited}admin/forum.php on line 143

Line 143:
(NULL,'$styleset','".$title)."','".$description)." ','$isactive','$displayorder', '$parentid',

I would guess it doesnt like .$title).'" and $description).'" Is there a work around for this???

Thx

Eric

OK, I understand this and I have installed it and works. Now then how do you get this installed on the forumdisplay.php to work correctly.

I tried replacing the same info like on the index.php page. Well I got a surprise when I refreshed my forums, BIG BLUE SCREEN with little folders, lol

Can someone make this happen not on the index page but on the forums CATAGORY areas???

This would be nice if I could get some help on this ...

thank you

Hi I Love this hack, but I am looking for a heads up on how they do the sponsered by at graphic-forums.com. Its a simple

sponsered by: blah - blah- blah (link) i wanted to maybe place a graphical badge there 88*100. I tried doing it in HTML but I ran out of room in the forum descriptions section.

I have seen this once before and I would like to use it isolated not with fireflys hack... any leads or help...

Thanks,

midz
