Reeve, the code posted above simply adds a colspan, if you have enabled the style dropdown.
The code was tested in a unhacked board. Please try it in a unmodified board and you will see there are no problems.
If vbIndex creates any problems, I would recommend you to contact the hack author for a workaround.
In the same time, I recommend to all portal users to ask the authors how to reduce the usage of MySQL database.
I saw people using VBportals (like vbIndex, vbAdvanced, etc) who stress to server up to 90% usage... [high]Is really
intense.[/high] A normal MySQL usage should be around 10-15%.
Is all in how you write the code, IMO... and you can have the same results... it doesn't have to be intense for the server.
Take a look at
those results and let me know what you think.
Regards,
Floren.
