Any Solution For The Problem With PhotoPlog SQL Sentence That Causes Error In Data Base When Activating This Hack In Forums??

(Read My Previous Messages In This Thread For Details).

I've Found In The Forum Some Users With This Problem, I Hope The Author Can Give Us a Solution To be Able To Use This Hack!!

My Best Regards!!

Anyway you could add this to the quick edit template so we don't have to go to the full editor to prevent an edit from reverting the first post into standard format?

I have problem with this mod in my right to left language

the first post contents alignment seems to be left and not according to forum's language direction. where can I edit this?

[Defkalion]

Is there any way to disable the function of first post appearing on every page? I just want to keep the Articles layout.

[SuperJETT]

Very nice, thanks.

I would really like to be able to select which template is the default in admincp, maybe even per forum?

I've Analyzed Today the PhotoPlog Plugin that Contains the COUNT Code, and I've Found that the Plugin "PhotoPlog File Count" (Hook Location "showthread_query") contains the Code that Causes the Error!!

I've Added the Code

if (!$forum['chiefpost'])
{

Before

if (
	$vbulletin->options['photoplog_is_active']

and Closed the If Sentence with a

}

After

	$postids = $postids." ".$hook_query_where;

}

At the End of the Plugin Code, Not Allowing to Execute Itself When the Forum has Activated the Chief First Post as "Yes".

This Way the Error I've Mentioned Don't Occurs and Finally the First Post is Shown in Every Page!! :up:

My Best Regards!! :up:

Now I Can Say is a Great Hack!! :up::up::up:

Thank You Very Much For Sharing It Atakan KOC!! :up:

I would like to see a minor tweak to this great mod.... can you add in the options a yes/no button to place a divider between the FIRST POST and all remaining posts?

The reason I ask is that on subsequent pages, you forget that the FIRST POST reshown is special... a repeat from pages before.

Some fancy divider would be great that isnt used between other posts.

Great Mod... Installed And NOM! Is there a way to get it to align the text to right by default? currently all new articles are aligned to the left...

thank you
