Thanks I will work on it tomarow thanks again for all your help.

Please edit the first post and wrap the code in html or code tags.

What do you mean the first two line of the code that SirAdrian was the following:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
Which was in this liitle editor window inside the posting also above that was the words html code since i am new to this stuff that is vbulletin I could only assume that it was valid script -

normal HTML code has the following:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

above the head for a standard new page not knowing what the following lines did I could only assume took the place of those lines.

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

Which you will see are on top of the HTML script I posted in the first thread.

What I did post does have a end body and end tags like below

</body>
</html>

So what is correct the script Siradrian posted for me or what please explain that is in vbulletlin expects things to look in the templete I guess. THANKS. I am a little comfused? Frank

Stop posting the code directly in the post like that please. Before you paste any code, click the <> in the editor bar. That will show you the HTML tags. Between the tags, paste your code.

HTML Code:

It Will Appear Like This!

HTML Code:

// Oh ok Thanks for the information now i know

If you could, please edit the previous posts and wrap the code in the tags. users that aren't licensed can see that. Once they are wrapped, they see a "You are not licensed" message.

I hope that meets your requirements sorry I am new to vbulletin and I will make some mastakes from time to time but I will get with the program.

Its all good. It helps prevent pirates from getting free info. Its more like a way to make them annoyed. ;)

Plus it makes things easier to read for us. :)

i can make you a product which imports that if you just give me the name you want the template to have...

He just wanted to know how to add a template.
