At a guess, you made an error in the edit of the specialtemplates bit.

Make sure it looks exactly like the example above.

sorry .. deleted my post at the same time as you posted .. found the error.

I have a few more items listed under "$specialtemplates = array(" and forgot to add "," :ermm:

shadiguy1 02-28-2005 09:54 PM
installed perfectly. no problems.

I have installed this perfectly but there is something I need your guys' assistance. I have included the screenshot in the attachment.

The Featured articles list is not displayed properly I think. It doesnt stretch like the forum. I marked the part with blue for your guys' reference.

Any assistance would be very appreciated. :-)

Cheers!

Creed 03-01-2005 12:42 AM
in the FORUMHOME template edit find and change:
Code:
colspan="5">
to:
Code:
colspan="6">
There are two instances of this!

i-Symbian.Com 03-01-2005 07:10 AM
@Creed,

Thanks for your instruction! It is displayed properly now :-) Thanks a million!!!

Creed 03-01-2005 04:47 PM
No problem, glad I could help.

shadiguy1 03-05-2005 01:06 PM
i noticed sinse installing this it always says alot of people are viewing aticles section even if there not . Any suggestions.

Paul M 03-05-2005 03:38 PM
Curious, why have you released an addon to your own hack as a seperate hack in the addons section.

cinq 03-06-2005 12:15 AM
I think this is the only way the addon gets linked to the main hack in the main hack thread's add-ons side bar ?

Correct me if I'm wrong ( i did ask this in the Site feedback section a while back ).

Creed 03-06-2005 07:16 AM
Yup, that is correct :)

subnet_rx 04-01-2005 05:44 PM

RichieBoy67 04-05-2005 07:23 PM
Yeah, screenshot please or demo??? I am waiting to install until I can see it...

Thanks

Would someone help me install this? Paid

mike.fro 06-01-2005 03:12 AM
http://www.discusspromotion.com has it up (my site).

link:
http://www.discusspromotion.com/articles.php? is the hack.

She Unlimited 06-27-2005 11:52 PM
index.php Which template do I go into to make these changes...(sorry a bit new to doing hacks myself).

Thank you

Also, how do I change the width to reflect the width of my Featured Articles now?

:nervous:

Marco van Herwaarden 06-28-2005 07:15 AM
index.php is not a template but a file in either your forumhome, or your ./admincp directory (read hack instructions carefull to find out which to edit).
