There is no 410.....

the first option you suggest here didn't work, however the second one did. problem is, it adds 2 querries. which is just not worth it for smilies. i'll have to see what this might be.
i wonder if it does have to do with the fact that i'm still on 2.27?

No, like the ones on the top right ( User CP, Members, FAQ).

you can add those through the home_header template... add as many as you want. personally, i prefer to have the options in the left navigational menu, so i took all of the header buttons out and added the options as links in the left menu (which i can then set to vary whether someone is a member or not).
but yeah, just create the button, upload it, then go into home_header and find the other options. copy one of the lines of code, and insert it wherever you want the new button to appear. change the name for the img src and the url for the target, and you're off to the races my friend.
if you need any more help on this one, just let me know.

take care.

I did an upgrade to vbindex yesterday. I screwed it up initially then got it working. I only have one thing left that doesn't want to work, the Online Today value. Where would I look to get this working.

that option was taken out dmw.
check back a few pages if you'd like more info.

you can always go through the 2.01 version of vbindex and cut and paste the code into 2.1

Thank Buddha...I'll do a little research on that. I liked that option.

Cheers!

nice hack :)

ntldr had mentioned that the code for the online wasn't necessarily that stable which is why he took it out. also adds querries (if you're counting calories).

That may be the reson why it doesn't work, I know the smiles appear in my 2.2.8 testboard. I changed it to reduce the number of queries, like you said, its not worth it for the extra load.

The code you copy from index.php is only used to generate the users online bit, so it doesn't matter if its taken from 2.2.4, 2.2.6 or 2.2.8 etc..
