A few requests that I cannot find

[Chadi]

This site is huge so sometimes the search returns too much / too broad no matter what I type (sometimes not sure what the hacks would be called either lol)

I'm looking for the following

1. Left column in showthread (like phpbb left column shows member info / avatar, stats, etc). Is this referred to as postbit or something?
2. Forumhome polls (I made a right side column, want to add a last poll to forumhome - or even a custom poll)
3. Which arcade is better? vbarcade or ibproarcade (forgot exact name sorry)

Question:
If I create my own new template in vbulletin admin area obviously, how do I know what the link is to that new page?

1. AdminCP->vBuleting Options->Style & Language Settings->Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template: Yes
2. I'll leave that to someone else
3. This have been asked a few times. There has been a new discussion started about this yesterday i think. Seem like most people prefer ibproarcade atm.

A template is not a page. It is just a (html) code snippet, that get's evaluated in the php script, and when all needed templates are evaluated and put together, the page is displayed by the php script.

This means you can not just add a new template without adding it to a (new?) php script. It will simply never be displayed.

Do you know of any tutorial to explain how to"evaluate" the php script with the newly created template(s)?

Thanks.

Also, I changed to legacy vertical and suddenly my gender and country pics are x out on all users. Any idea why?

PHP Code:

    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('newthread') . '");'); 


For example.

Was you "postbit" templates modified? If yes, you might need to do the same edits to your "postbit_legacy".
