I need some help finishing the Sponsor in Category Hack. I keep getting a parse error and fear I will only make it worse if I keep messing with it myself. Could someone please help me out?
Thanks

It would help if you post the code. ;)

When I replace the line:
eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$te mpext")."\";");
with:
if?($forum['sponsorimg']?&&?$forum['cancontainthreads']==0?&&?$depth==1)?{

??????????eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_ sponsor")."\";");

????????}?else?{

??????????eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$te mpext")."\";");

????????}
I receive a parse error when index.php gets to this line:
if?($forum['sponsorimg']?&&?$forum['cancontainthreads']==0?&&?$depth==1)?{

Probably a line before that line, maybe you forgot a ; there?

Here is the first 6 lines above the code I am to replace and the 3 lines below:
if ($forum['cancontainthreads']==1) {
$tempext = '_post';
} else {
$tempext = '_nopost';
}

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$te mpext")."\";");

if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
$forumbits.=makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumperms);
}

This is without the hack...I don't see a ; anywhere that I may have accidently replaced.

Make sure you don't have &#123 instead of { in the scripts...

I couldn't see any difference with { and {...
I keep trying to totally mimic the code posted on your thread in replacing that one line...I swear...its weird. The only other hack involved with my index.php is the little bit to make the PM message bar blink. That wouldn't effect it would it?

I wnet back and checked for that too...after someone else told me that might happen. No 123 was in it the third time I tried. I'm still stuck. :(

Here it is in place with a parse error again...I copied a bunch of lines before and after
$tempext = '_nopost';
}

if ($forum['sponsorimg'] && $forum['cancontainthreads']==0 && $depth==1) {

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_ sponsor")."\";");

} else {

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$te mpext")."\";");

}
if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
$forumbits.=makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumperms);
}
} // END if can view
} // END while ( list($key2,$for
