Ross I'm not sure I understand your question.

There is "Expland All | Contract All" links at the top of every thread.

If you mean putting a similar link on the forumdisplay page - where the list of all threads in a forum - then I don't really see the point for it: that's what you have the option to select the default action in your user's profile Edit Options page.

Still doesn't work Bira, I looked for that error and simply don't have it.

Line 444 is:

// Contract Old Posts in Thread (v1.0)

Frank, there was an extra dot in the file you sent me :)

Anyhow, I looked at it again and I think I see the problem (maybe).

You seem to have deleted an extra line too much.

Right under the line you pasted, should appear:

But in your file it's missing.

That would explain the error you pasted in the earlier posts - there was simply a missing userid!

So paste this line back, right under the "insert", and you should be fine.

Thank you kindly Bira, that has fixed the problem completely :D :D

Hey bira, nice hack. It all works except for the fact that when i shrink the posts, they shrink about 5% larger than my forum size. any ideas? :confused:

eep and i get a parse error when i click the register button. Do you have a .txt file with the updates so I can go back and make sure i installed it right? or do I have to go through the entire table creation etc process again..?

Anyone know why I would get a blank white page when trying to run the install_contractposts.php file?

Hi Bira,

Unless I'm being a total blind muppet, I can't see any Expand / Contract links on my forums. Eg. http://www.servicepals.com/forums/sh...=&threadid=190

Can you give me any pointers where I should put this link in my templates?

Ross

Ross, I looked at your forums. I found at least two changes you didn't make. Coupled with the previous question you asked, I can only conclude that you rushed through installing this hack, skipped several steps, and are now wondering why some stuff isn't working.

That's really not the way to go, and it is completely unfair to myself as well. I cann't install hacks for you. I cannot make sure you do it right. I can only offer very detailed and accurate instructions.

So either you follow them fully or you don't - that's up to you. But I won't be giving support to a half-baked hack installation.

Please go over the installation again, step by step.
