jeesum, I fixed it, the path in upload options used to be /admin/tmp and it worked fine but now I had to chang it to:

/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/forums/admin/tmp

it works!

WOOT!

whew, glad that's fixed ;)

Just installed it. Good job!!

Just installed it, works great, thanks!

Have installed the hack on v2.2.2, and works fine, but I have noticed that when I click on the link to the name of the newest member just above the welcome panel it comes up with a 404 error. I didn't notice if this happened before the hack, but this is the first hack I applied to my install.

Has anyone else noticed this? If not, any suggestions?

For those who have Custom Avatars as Files HACK installed, here is the solution to make it works with the Welcome Panel HACK: [...]

Code:

---

if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {

---

I've tested and is working great...
Welcome Panel ROCKS!

I have still some problems with the Kier's AaF hack installed, but only when I use a standard - NOT custom - avatar.
Actually it's within a category (another hack.... :D ) but it isn't the problem. I can't see the image in the welcome panel.

I guess of course it depends on the function the Welcome Panel calls : getavatarurl() (you can see more here, about), but same I would put here my experience about this hard join.

Thanks a lot.

i want to implement this hack, but a fair share of our users have a specific forum bookmarked and don't always come in through the welcome page. so, ideally, i'd like it to pop at the user's point of entry rather than embedding it in a page.

before i spend a lot of time spinning my wheels for nothing, i thought i'd ask you more experienced types if you knew of anything that might cause a problem or prevent me from doing it that way. whaddaya think?

appreciate the help,

I would like to place much of the welcome panel in my header so it appears on all pages. What codes do I need to change or add in order to do this?

Hack the index.php file just the same, in fact do everything just the same except -

When it comes to editing the forumhome template, instead of inserting the .....

<-- welcomepanel -->
*****
****
****
some code
***
****
*****
</--welcomepanel -->

Put that in you header instead. Of course, you will need to make sure the layout works, it's not something I would want to do myself, but it should work. It might look a bit wierd though. You'll have to play around with the tables to get it to look OK.

Wow this hack is awesome! Thanks.

Never thought of that - very cool ;)

Ha... it was Sinecure who pointed the way :D I also did the same thing to my homeindex.php (for your news hack!) which can be seen at http://abudokan.com/forums/homeindex.php . I use an htaccess redirect and actually have that as my homepage.

there is still a problem with the "count threads & posts" - function: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...332#post209332

Yeah, I know it counts *ALL* the posts, including those in private forums. I'm not sure what to do about it. Making it so that admins can easily add forum ID's to an exclude function, would add a ton of code to an otherwise simple hack. Not sure if it's worth it.

hmm, this makes this part of your great hack useless for me :(

I still like me origonal stats hack, that most people forgot about.... maybe I will re edit it and add a few things..... then of course eat it.

which hack was that neo?

EDIT: OK, just found it, looks very cool. You could certainly produce something awesome with a combination of that hack, but include the avatar hack as well. Go for it neo.

This one are a real Cool hack and i real like it a lot
:)

Yay, WP wins hack of the month for Feb. Thanks to those folks who voted.

Apparently we get this graphic...

Not sure what to do with it tho. But sure does look nice ;)

put it on your site so you can get hundreds of pms saying "YOU HACKED VBULLETIN.ORG!? DDOS YAY YAY" lol

I like this hack. I don't know if someone has brought this up. But is it possible to put a link in the pm so you can check your messages? I have pm blink but know way to check messages unless you goto the user cp. It would be nice if I could have a link there to go directly to the message. Any Ideas?

Eh? Doesnt clicking on "Private Messages" take you to the PM section - at least it does on our forum.

Ok I installed the hack on vb version 2.2.3, everything went fine and worked great and I really like this hack.

However I have a problem and am unsure if the upgrade to this hack did it or the upgrade to 2.2.3 did it, but somehow my "today's Birthdays" has vanished from the page.

I did both the hack and the upgrade within a couple of hours and didn't notice it before.

Has anyone else installed the Welcome Panel and had their birthdays vanish?

Mike

I had installed the today/yesterday timestamp hack, and the date where it says "you last visited" still shows the date instead of "today" or "yesterday".

I think I need to hack the index.php file. Has anyone able to fix it? If so how?

I think in the instruction he forgot to include $birthdaybits in the forumhome template. Just add it to whereever you want.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by trilOByte


Sue, it looks like you've done the template edits properly, but you have missed out part of the hack to the index.php file. Read over the instructions again, comparing it to your hacked file and pay particular attention to that part of the hack which details the new posts.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by trilOByte


Todays birthdays is not part of this hack. $birthdaybits is part of the forumhome_loggedinusers template, not the forumhome template and is called by $loggedinusers. It isn't changed or affected by this hack, so it stays in the default place (at least the default place for vB2.2).

Check to see if you have $loggedinusers in your forumhome template and $birthdaybits in your forumhome_loggedinusers template. This should still be intact as it isn't touched by this hack at all.
