The file homeindex.php goes in the forums folder. So far, I haven't gotten it to work outside of it, although it should be a simple matter of changing the path to global.php at the top of the file.

As for your other problem, I'm not sure I understand...is it that the checkbox does not stay checked? Or the option itself does not show up at all?

The option shows ok, but when checked it does not stay checked but reverts back to its original setting.

;(

If the checkbox isn't staying checked, I would suspect something is wrong with the installation of the hack. Possibly related to Step 2-B-2...it sounds like the setting isn't getting stored in the database. Can you run through the installation steps again, comparing what it says to do with what you actually did?

Unless you find any problems there, can you use something like phpMyAdmin or some other way to look at the database? If so, start a test thread, mark it to be news, and post it. Then look in the database, in the threads table, find the new thread (look for the threadid), and see if the isnews column for that thread is 0 or 1 (should be 1).

Anybody else having this problem?

Did what was said (below) but Im not getting the link to show that enables me to post the thread, see attached.

Strange?

Followed the Instructions 110% and still not able to get the box to stay ticked.

I guess part of my problem understanding your problem has been some communication difficulties... specifically, you talking about the check box, when what I see you really meant was the radio button. You see, square boxes that you put a checkmark into are called "check boxes", while round circles that you put a dot into are called "radio buttons" (don't ask me why it's called a "radio button" when it's not a button). Now see this creates a problem when you are talking about a check box, and the only check box related to this hack is the one that makes a thread a news item, so that's what I think you are talking about. Please understand, I don't mean this as an attack against you, I just mean this as helpful advice, to create better understanding.

You can send me a copy through email (do not attach it to a message here!) of your usergroup.php file to webmaster@jjr512.com and I will see if I can figure out what's out of whack. Also, include in the email a copy of the structure of your usergroup table (just the structure, not the data!).

I'd still like to hear from anyone else that has installed this hack if they have or have not had this problem... I know some people have installed it, and since I'm not hearing any other complaints, I'm assuming it's working fine for everybody else; I just want to be sure.

On it's way to you.

;)

Any estimate on when you'll have the URL feature added?

Soon! Within a day.
