I did. It's a bit ambiguous. Basically it says that I might not need it but many prefer it to vbCMS. I wondered if there is a reason why many prefer it.
I assume not then.

It does not say many prefers it, it says I prefer it and many uses it.

The reason many uses it is because this hack is around since 2002 when vb didn't have a cms by then. So many people built and developed their sites around webtemplates for years (see sample sites in the first post) and they want to keep their pages as is without a need to migrate over to vb cms.

The reason I prefer it is because IMHO it is more simple to use and it is free.

It will be easier for you to decide if you like it or not, if you install it. It is free and takes 10 mins. to install and if you don't like you can just uninstall. So trying yourself and have your own opinion can be more helpful than trying to understand others' opinions. :)

I'm one of those who has used this hack for a few years now. I'm so glad that it's updated for vB4. I've really missed it. Although I've got the publishing suite I've disabled the CMS because in my opinion it's terribly user unfriendly and should be flushed where it belongs.
Thanks for the update Logician :). Installed, voted & nominated.

The sparks really well this program, but using other than standard navbar will link in navbar forgotten eg. Wolf Navbar 4.6 does not work with this program but Wolf works with others as Garage and VbGallery.
It appears that the program includes navbar at a slightly different way than others.

Have found that are using many styleshet instead additional.css now used to provide extra styles in what I have done.
Since it was put into the Basic Default Theme, it seems like it should :D

I'm sorry to say that I've deleted the view.php and uploaded the one provided in the zip. I'm still receiving this error.

Please give me FTP and admin cp access with PM and I'll check. But it really sounds like it is somehow about old view.php's being used. The error message points that because new view.php does not have this command in that line.

Hey Logician

Im about to move to vB4 from vB 3.8

On the 3.8 instance, I use webtemplates for a 'subsite'

After migration of my vB 3.8 to vB 4, is it as simple as just installing this vB4 version of webte,plates and everything should still function with the subsite?

Many thanks

Nevermind - found the readme - my bad :)
