I cannot think of any reason why it would not work on your server at this point. If you have the product installed, and have edited and saved functions.php, I cannot think of any reason why it is not working.

If you have a cache of some type installed on VB, you may want to try disabling it.

i dont have much experience with the smarty template system but this is deffinitely a unique mod and gets a big thumbs up and a MOTM nod. :)

Thanks, I know this won't be a huge plugin for the masses, but I hope power users will understand the implications of it. Thanks again.

alessai, any luck?

Just a note: The default vBulletin template system does not allow including PHP for security reasons (except a very few predefined functions that can be used in conditionals). Allowing PHP in templates will reduce security!

I do not see how including PHP in templates will reduce security any more than allowing javascript in templates..

I should also add, that if the PHP really bothers you, you can turn it off in Smarty.

Great add-on for sure. I started a simpler version to re-create another version of the archive using Smarty caching. I will play around this one and see.

Let me know how it turns out for ya.
