mvgod, would you mind attaching a screenshot as I'm sure the fix will be easy once I can see result. I unfortunatly don't have IE5 for mac.

here is a screenshot...

Okay that is very strange.. try this version of forumhome_expandjscript to see if it fixes the problem.

[attachment removed didn't fix]

Tried it and same exact look...all the text below gets squished over to the left in the table same as before...gotta love the cross platform inconsistencies MS builds into their products.

Is it the javascript or the style sheet that is likely kicking the text over?

The CSS embeded in the javascript. It appears that IE MAC is interpreting the display property differently to IE WIN/UNIX and NS6/Moz/Konq :(. Is this version of IE5.0 or IE5.1? As the only solution appears to be reformating each cell using even more javascript or disabling the collapse function in IE5 MAC.

Oh well there is always undocumented features to play with is this any better?

Version 5.0 on the mac...do they even have a 5.1 on mac? I will check and upgrade if so...

Will try to test out macfix2 tonight sometime when the board "quiets" down a bit...

thanks,

marc

I added this hack and I didn't have any problems with the install, but it doesn't show any + or - signs next to the forum catagory name. Do I need to enable something? :confused:

Did you upload the gif images? Where did you upload them to? Make sure they are in the right place and they should come up.

sweet hack :) cheers

I'm looking to do an expand and contract on my site. I run this hack already, where woul I find the code for a non php site to expand and contract? If it has to be php that's fine but I want it so when users click the icon or title the icon changes and a link list appears below the link/icon. Does anyone know where I could find such code?

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.2:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user SET forumviewset='' WHERE userid='1' mysql error: Unknown column 'forumviewset' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

Getting this error and I followed the steps exact. I see something about installing twice, I think I did my accident so if this is the problem, how to I reverse it?

Using phpMyAdmin or a sql hack or even just mysql via the shell

run this query.
ALTER TABLE user ADD forumviewset varchar(250) NOT NULL default ':'

I have forums that are members of a category, which is beneath another category. So I have a structure like:

Category A
----Category C
---------Forum 1
----Category D
---------Forum 2
---------Forum 3

With this hack installed, BOTH Categories A, C, and D are collapsed on the forums home, and CANNOT be expanded. Clicking the little "+" does nothing. So, anything beneath category A can't be viewed. What template affects this? Is this a known bug? Are people able to have the above situation with no problems?

Thanks dabean that worked =)

jminiman: Tested it does work, subject to creating the relivant level3 vb templates (not to do with this hack but vB its self).

Any/all templates you want the expansion/contraction buttons to appear in must contain "$expandcontract".

Thanks worked great only thing I had was inside of whos online shows:

/vb/updateindex.php?&fid=45&val=0

As to where I am at. Did I miss something in the hack? Everything else seems to be working fine.

You can fix that manually (complex/difficult not going to explain how).

Or use this hack.

dabean,

This is definitely one of my favorite hacks! Anyway, when I create the third tier templates, are they exact copies of the second-tier ones?

jminiman: When I tested third and infact fourth tier templates I just made exact copies of the level 2 templates. So in answer to your question yes :)

perhaps you can help me, i installed the hack and I have the forum/posts/threads hack, and I think I did everything properly, but now when I expand or contract it, all that happens is that the forum/posts/threads expands or contracts. What have i done wrong?

Here is my forum: http://www.ti-arts.com/forums/index.php

hmmm,

s o r o k a: The change needed to fix the hack is relatively tiny.

open up forumhome_expandjscript and change
while (document.getElementById('f'+itemID+i)!=null) {
fitems[i]= document.getElementById('f'+itemID+i);
i++;
}

to

while (document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z'+i)!=null) {
fitems[i]= document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z'+i);
i++;
}

hmmm... still no luck, I just thought I should mention that I changed index.php from the original

to:

alright, i downloaded the most recent version, but now it minimizes fine, but when i maximize it only the forum/posts etc. show up.???

alright i figured out the problem, if anyone else is having this problem, it is because i teeny bit of code was left out in Template_Option. What is missing is a +'z' in the first while statement. I have included a new version that will work.

okay I applied the hack and i dont see anything at all,
can someone hel pme out, i downloaded the files on the top page, after going through 10 pages, I am totally confused as to how to get this hack working, can anybody help me out

www.mindsights.com if you need to take a look

hyperdave, firstly you have added the 2 new templates? and made the other template alterations.

yep I sure have, :bunny:

good, now lets see where abouts in the code something has gone wrong.

does this line exisit?

im like half sleep
where should that coding exist

Here are some more icons to replace the expand / collapse.gif images included with the original archive. I drafted them up for my site and was going to use them, but have switched back to some plain white ones for the time being.

Just my small contribution as a way of thanking dabean for this excellent hack. :D

Have you changed the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template as described by the readme?

I sure have made, went back and did everything twice

hmmm, whilst I know one of your templates needs editing could you turn on template names? then attach a snippet of final page in particular something around..
as directly before that is the name of the template that will need editing.

This

open up the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template(s)
and change <tr align="center"> into
<tr id="f$forum[parentid]z$z" $fhomeexpandstyle align="center">


You will need to do this for each/every style.

I just upgraded my board from version 2.2.4 to 2.2.5, and have started re-hacking. I cannot find the references made to code in the admin/index.php file? I've tried searching for single words of the lines of code, but no results are found! Has admin/index.php dramatically changed in this version?

Now I am confused. I didn't do any of the admin/index.php file changes, but the hack works fine? Check www.gamerforums.com/board for an example. If the admin files aren't required what do they do? Thanks in advance.
