FAQ


Q: The link doesn't look right on the navbar
A: While on your forums view the source and search for id="navbar_search"
To the right should be "class" (For the default skin the class is "vbmenu_control")

Edit the navbar template
Find:

PHP Code:

<td id="custom_links" class="vbmenu_control"> 


Replace the "class" so it's the same as the search's class.
Let's say you're class is "nav_element" then it should look like this

PHP Code:

 <td id="custom_links" class="nav_element"> 


Open the product xml in an editor
Find:

PHP Code:

<td class='vbmenu_control'> 


Replace with your class.

PHP Code:

<td class='nav_element'>

In the phrase manager search for "Extras".
Edit the wird and in the "English Translation" box put what you want it to say.

I haven't forgot about you.
Perhaps I need to make it "unsigned"?

Edit:
I made it unsigned and I made the default value "0".
If you are stilling recieving an error do not hesitate to report it.

I have been getting database errors ever since i did the last upgrade of your hack.
So i decided to remove it and start again, all is working ok now apart from i cannot put long names in the name field.
I did a fresh install several times of the hack downloaded from the start of this thread but it just won't let me add more than 20 characters.
It was working before after you did the fix for this but now even after installing and doing the upgrade it still won't allow more than 20 characters.

I'm sorry about that.
You can now type "100" characters for the name.

You'll have to uninstall the current product and upload the new one.

Working now whats the upgrade2.xml for do i need to run this even though its working now.

[harmor19]

You do not need to run upgrade2.
It's to add images to links.
