Should you have a question about this hack, please post it in this thread. Support will not be given via PM, Email or IM unless arranged, you will just be ignored.
They cannot see them at all (except for forumhome - which is required for vbindex to allow them to get to my homepage) - check out http://hweeboard.xwarzone.com to see what I mean.. http://www.xwarzone.com is my vbindex.
Originally posted by Buddha hey ntldr, i've installed the "allow admins to use HTML always" hack, but it still shows up as text html in vbindex unless html is allowed via admin cp.
is there a way to code it so that if the post is made by admin usergroup, it will allow html regardless of whether it's allowed in the admin cp.
Should be a minor mod, can you point me in the direction of the hack/mods you have installed? Its probably just a small change to the bbcodeparse line in the news section.
Originally posted by haste I'm having a problem: only the newest news item shows a message icon, even though all of them have icons assigned. Any ideas?
Are the icons assigned to just the post/thread or both? If the icon is only set for the post (I think) then it will not display.
Originally posted by sHORTYWZ ntldr - still having problems with posts showing up in the "latest threads" that the user doesn't have access to.. everything on my board is set to require login except for viewing of forum home yet you can see posts from all of my boards in the box..
You need to explicity set the permissions for each forum, any privateforums that use inherited permissions will appear. I will try and make it so these work in v2.2. Check back in the thread, there are details on how to manually exclude private/certain forums.

sorry buddy... i was going to post that info but then forgot..
PHP Code:
Always allow HTML for Super Mods, Admins and other usergroups of choice. [mini-hack vB 2.0.3]
if ($news[postuserid]==YOUR_ID) {
$newstext=bbcodeparse2($news[pagetext],1,1,1,1);
} else {
$newstext=bbcodeparse($news[pagetext],0,1);
}
Untested, but no reason it shouldn't work, replace YOUR_ID with your id, as this is no low load way of geting usergroupids for posts here, but you can use the standard OR $news[postuserid]==ID to add extra users to it. You may also want to check the queries used and alter the 1's in this line and see what happens: $newstext=bbcodeparse2($news[pagetext],1,1,1,1);
sorry buddy.
i had obviously missed a ) in the script.
entered it and it seems to be working now. i'll test on other pages to see if in fact that is what i missed.
sorry for the trouble.
