A good rule of thumb is to edit the php files in text-only editors. That way, there is no chance of any type of corruption. The more bare-bone the text editor, the safer. :D

Thanks Samir,

I finally solved the problem.

I opened the file in Dreamweaver and then cut and past to TextEdit. But that is the wrong way.

The right way to do it is to open the php file through TextEdit (or another simple text editor), apply the changes, and then save. Then it works.

Never open the include.php file in Dreamweaver.

Thanks again.

Just one quick Question before I install this.

I used to have my forum on 2.3.1 and used vbHome (lite) v4.2 then I upgraded to the last Vb 3.03 I think. Since the old vbHome (lite) v4.2 made changes to the database, can I install this hack on the new (unhacked) Vb3.0.3... (the database was upgraded to VB3 of course)

Thanks a lot

Great job, I just switched from vbindex cause it didn't work work a crap an he stopped developing it. So look forward to more.

I installed it without probs and it seems to be working ok, though I have one small problem. When I use quotes in a news-thread the layout of the cmps index page is wrecked.

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks for the help and for providing this cool hack!

Are you using just regular quotes in the post in the thread like "so"?

No, the problem occurs when I use the vb quote tags, like: [ QUOTE=SamirDarji]......[ /QUOTE].

I added the space so it is showed as text.

I added 2 screenshots to enlighten the problem. I don't know for sure but I think it's a probably a tag problem(since in the error screen you can see the complete right hand of the site is put inside the border of the news items with the quotes in it).

Thanks for the responses so far!

Hmmm...it has to something in the way the news.php module handles quotes. I'd post over a vbadvanced.com. This may be an issue of some sort.

How would I make the Column's not mimic What color/image is set for Category Strips background, but instead have it mimic what is set for Table Header background or a custom color/image background?

Change the corresponding adv_portal templates. You need to find the html that makes the table header and put it in there instead of the category strips.

I've thought about doing the same thing, but down the road. Let me know what you come up with.
