This is not about webtemplates hack, it is about your php version vs. you vb version. Please see here for more info:

As always I LOVE Webtemplates!

Trying to set up the frontend editor for the first time.
But I cannot see an EDIT link at the bottom.

The webtemplate has no parent
- parse = TEXT
- admins (me) and my mods are NOT ticked under disallowed - and I can view it OK
- admins (me) and my mods are entered as usegroups to edit
- I also added my name as individual user to edit.

vBulletin Version 3.6.2 on this site.

Please make sure your webtemplate content has "$WT_Editor_link" variable in it. When you use a default webtemplate theme, this theme has this variable automatically but when you create a standalone webtemplate with no theme, you need to put it a location where you want edit this page link to appear.

Thank you I did that but there must be something I don't know.
Here's the top of my page / page is set to parse TEXT

Excerpt ######################
HOMEWORK RECORD: JAN - APRIL 2011
.................................................. .........
$WT_Editor_link
.................................................. .........
############################

The link shows but if I click it I get 404.

May I see the url you have this problem please?

Thank you. I will PM you because you need to login as a specific usergroup to see it.

(THis usergroup is listed as Editors)

I couldn't check your admincp vb options page since I don't have permissions but I believe that your "Forum URL" setting does not involve "http://" part.

Please check this out. If your forum url starts with "www.", please make sure it is changed to "http://www."

Thank you Logician that worked.

Is there no possibility of having colour formatting for the fonts?
These shared edit pages for me summarise quite fine grained data so colour would help.

A TIP - if you want mods/ selected users to edit only PART of the page
I put that part in QUOTE TAGS so it shows up in a box
and added a top and bottom line of ### - my forum displays it in a box anyway.

Sorry I didn't understand the question?

You are using a TEXT parsing in that webtemplate so default color bbcode [ color ] should help, shouldn't they? Eg.

Mytextcolored

I don't know how you did that! I can use colour with <font> tags but I'm trying to create pages my staff can add notes to. They don't do html.
Tags in brackets - bbcode? will be a barrier - they'll find it slow to apply, probably make mistakes, and find it generally unfamiliar.
I never noticed the WYSWYG editor on VB doesn't have a font colour button.
