Stupid Templates - NEED help please
 

I am Having trouble with a few hacks because it requires template modifications

In the latest hack I am installing from Erwin
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...d=1#post576943

I get an Error in my template..

But anyways,

1. How do I know whether I am using "postbit" or "legacy postbit"?
2. What is a template?
3. when someone says "Find this code" in a template and I locate it, its never on the same line. For instance if its a longer line of code, part of it will break off into the next line. So when I copy and paste the code I am supposed to add, it too breaks off into a new line.
4. Can someone tell me what this means? (I am inexperianced with PHP but I am learning):

Thank You kindly guys....

1. If you are using a postbit like it is set out here at vB.org, then you are using the postbit_legacy (user info is on the SIDE) if your user info is at the top, above the post words, you are using the postbit.
2. Templates are, simply, the code behind the display of your vBulletin pages and such.
3. Make sure you check the WHOLE template since a piece of code can occur more than once. But, a previous hack you may have installed could have edited the way that specific line has been placed in your template. If there is no other instance in the template, I'd place it after the last part of the code that you were looking for. (That is assuming it says "after it, place")
4. Can't help you there, sorry. ;)

Also, with regards 3., you should copy and paste the whole template into a text editor, to help with line numbering and syntax highlighting.

4. this generally indicates an associative array where the key names are enclosed in single quotes:

Look for $array['sample']

Replace with $array[sample]

HTH

Good Stuff, Thanks Guys! Natch, I am going to try that right now...
