After reviewing my custom layout of the vbindex.php page, I decided that the new template really belongs in the left column (and therefore in your left template), but when I call it into that template, nothing from it displays.

Make sure that this template (or content) is done before the left templated is eval'ed at the end of the file

[todd.o.callen]

Sorry,

Can you translate this hint for the code challenged? Assuming it isn't "done" before left is called, how do I fix it?

PS. Life is good when U R online...

[NTLDR]

Move it above:

PHP Code:

eval("\$left = "".gettemplate('home_left')."";");

Dude-who-looks-like-a-lady,

You rock. Simple edit. Everything works perfectly. Thanks!

[Buddha]

yep... vbcode is enabled, ntldr.

any thoughts?

[NTLDR]

I've just tested it and it works fine for me, is the content of the post correct, ie when editing the post the code is [color=blue ]Text[ /color] (without the spaces)?

[Buddha]

yep.
would it matter that the forum in question has a moderation queue?
i have to approve it in the admin cp before it goes out.

i'll test it without the mod queue and see.

edit**
mod queue removed, and it still did the same thing.

How do I modify the post query so that posts in Private forums (and any other forums the user can't see) will not show up?

Thanks. God I love this hack.

I tried to apply your advice from a response a few pages ago regarding the news query, by it didn't seem to help:


$threadsquery=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM thread WHERE thread.open<>10 ".$threadsql." AND thread.visible=1
AND forumid!=$newsforum AND forumid!=$pollsforum AND visible=1 ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxvbithreads");


My guess is tha thread.visible=1 and visible=1 are the redundant, but I am not a very good guesser.

[NTLDR]

Yes, you can remove visible=1
