If that didn't fix the problem, that would imply that the function really doesn't exist...

Oops! Typo.

Edit the showthread_complete plugin. The call should be to

PHP Code:

ces_permissions_toolbar2 


Note that "toolbar" should be singular.

The typo correction works. Thanks!

However now I am getting trouble when I am pasting my code into the profile field. All it is is a simple table created at http://www.1stsfss.com/pages/inputAward.html When you choose your awards and it creates the working table. However when I paste it into the profile field there are a lot of page breaks and pushes the start of the table waaaay down. And then the table is stretched vertically. I have other fresh eyes looking at the table code to see if i missed something. I didn't know if there was a style that i was unaware of or if the CES Parser had anything to do with it..

Appreciate the help..

I have tried that table creator you posted, and not only does it generate non-standards-complaint XHTML, but you'll notice between lines 22 - 31 (I put a comment there so you can see it) that a problem exists. I modified the code only by adding tabs (and the comment) to investigate the tag nesting (the issue you describe is usually caused by improper nesting).

<table width="466" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
	<td colspan="3">
		<img src="images/case/top.jpg" width="466" height="35" />
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td width="38">
		<img src="images/case/left.jpg" width="38" height="317" />
	</td>
	<td width="390" height="317" background="images/case/center.jpg" align="center">
		<table width="390" height="317" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td width="45" ></td>
			<td  align="center"></td>
			<td width="50" ></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td align="center"></td>
			<td  align="center">
				<table>
				<!-- nesting problems start here -->
				<tr>
					<td height="14" width="53">
						<td height="14" width="53">
							<td background="images/ribbons/commander1st.gif" align="center" height="14" width="53">
							</td>
							<td background="images/ribbons/commander2nd.gif" align="center" height="14" width="53">
							</td>
				</tr>
				<!-- / nesting problems end here -->
				<tr>
					<td background="images/ribbons/soldiers.gif"align="center"  height="14" width="53">
					</td>
					<td background="images/ribbons/silverStar.gif" height="14" align="center" width="53">
					</td>
					<td background="images/ribbons/goodConduct.gif" height="14" align="center" width="53">
					</td>
					<td background="images/ribbons/tra.gif" height="14" width="53" >
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
				</tr>
				</table>
			</td>
			<td> </td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td width="45" ></td>
			<td align="center">
				<img src="images/badges/sharpshooter.jpg">
			</td>
			<td width="50" ></td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
	<td width="38">
		<img src="images/case/right.jpg" width="38" height="317" />
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td colspan="3">
		<img src="images/case/bottom.jpg" width="466" height="38" />
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

As you can see, this is an issue with the tool you mentioned and not with this mod.

Thank you very much, I corrected that it still didn't work. So what i ended up doing is deleting all spaces and formatting tabs that was apart of the code when I pasted it into the edit profile field textbox. Apparently it takes all of that literal and doesn't ignore the whitespace so it was stretching out the box and moving it down because spaces and tabs were in the tables..

[thincom2000]

Yes, the same thing would happen if you used the table in a post. This is how vBulletin's BB-Code parser works by default, by converting newlines into HTML line breaks.

[thincom2000]

Update: Compatibility with vBulletin 3.7 Beta 6 and RC1 has been fixed. The Social Messages stock vBulletin feature in which an error message is displayed when using a disabled BB-Code is also working again. Fixed some fatal errors due to typos, and gave Social Messages their own bitfields (inclusive for VMs, GMs, PCs, and usernotes - which I always considered to be vB's old profile comment system).

Has this issue been fixed in the update? This problems makes the mod unusable for profile fields if a user wants users return to create a space between lines of text.

Thanks.

[thincom2000]

That issue was fixed about a month ago (3/6). I'm sorry you missed it.
