That did it! Very cool and I (we) really appreciate your quick support on this!

:D

The + and - images don't show up so I can't expand or contract it. I know its working though because when I set a forum to be contracted on Admin CP it contracted, I just couldn't open it manually. I am running windows 98 Second Edition and using version 5.50 of MSIE.

net.ba

sounds very much like your missing a template check that
forumhome_expandcontract exists and that
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost contains "$expandcontract"


Hack has been repackaged to include optional addon.

I'm getting a couple errors with this. :(

The first is in the cx_install - I looked and this looks slightly different from the error reported earlier.


And the second is on my forum home page I get:
This is right above my header banner. :( I haven't messed with the functions.php.


Line 57 of the getbrowser.php is blank, so I deleted it leaving the "?>" as the last line. Reuploaded and reran the cx_install. But still errors. :(

Any help?

Now I'm getting a database error. :(Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.1:
______________
Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE forum ADD collapsed SMALLINT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'collapsed'

mysql error number: 1060

I have the little icons next to the forum descriptions, and if I click on 'expand' the 'collapse' button will appear, but nothing changes other than the picture.

this hack is a little corrupt, I was getting erros on the top saying stuff so I uninstalled the hack

I think I'm with you, Shenlong. I had to uninstall so I could reopen the site. :s

Follow the instructions, it works. Check it out at www.sirstevesguide.com/vbportal/forums

As far as I know, I did follow the instructions, and rechecked them twice. :)

The installation script makes all the important changes on its first run... rerunning it will throw a error. That is not important however, the error mysql error: Duplicate column name 'collapsed' does show that the installer worked.

Now as for the collapse not working check that the javascript contained in "forumhome_expandjscript" has been added to the page and that forumhome_level2_post does contain
<tr id="f$forum[parentid]z$z" $fhomeexpandstyle align="center">
and yes there should be two 'z''s (only in v1.11)
