Usernames with Glow Disappearing
 

I know this doesn't quite belong in this forum, but I figured this was the best place. If not, move it. I did a search and didn't find the answer anywhere.

I've had the store hack installed and working for a couple months. Today I added a new style and all of a sudden all the usernames with glow have disappeared.

I must have made some change in a template or replacement somewhere. But there are SO many associated with the store that I have no idea where to start.

Anyone else familiar with this issue? I know it happened on another board I used to visit, so it must be a somewhat common thing.

I obviously have another issue, too. I am really not sure what I did... but the store options aren't showing for my users when they click the store, either.

I made no changes to any PHP files or templates. The only thing I've touched are replacements and styles.

Make sure you applied the template edits to the new style :)

I'm using the same template set. The store exists and you can still click to get in. You can even still purchase glow because there is a link as the most sold action.

None of my other hacks have been affected at all. I keep going through my list of replacements to see if one of them might have changed something but they are all just single GIF files.

Is there anything in my style properties that could change the store hack??

btw... the store issue isn't just happening in the new style, it's happening in both the default and the new.

Sooo... what's my next step now? Am I in the wrong forum? Is there another site where I can post this question? I'm just looking for some direction here. My users can't see their usernames and that's only going to last so long before they start looking for me with pitchforks.

Make sure you have $storeextraglow in your postbit template instead of $post[username] and perhaps you forgot the changes to functions.php :)?

Thanks for giving me a couple more things to try. I checked the postbit template and $storeextraglow is in there as it should be. Also, functions.php is fine (I checked the server copy to make sure).

Like I said, I've had it running for a couple months and the only thing I did was add a new style. I know... standard tech support common sense would tell you that I'm forgetting about a hack that I installed or something else I was messing with, but REALLY the ONLY thing I did was add a new style that used the same template set but a new replacement set. Then I added some replacements.

I can't help thinking I must be missing something really simple here.

I'm starting to get a little desperate here. I will shoot myself in the face if I have to reinstall vBulletin just to get the store hack working.

Aside from the glow making names disappear, it's the $storebit portion of the store template that is not showing up. Can anyone tell me where $storebit points so that I can see if I'm missing something?

its most probably a syntax error conflicting with other information/modifications that you have included in the admin/functions.php

try to place $bbuserinfo[username] back into the postbit template and if the usernames show back up then your problem what i stated above...

or an easier alternative is to make a copy of your postbit template and then just revert it, again if the usernames reappear then direct your problem to the admin/functions.php and the alterations you made or any other conflicting modifications...
