Enjoy

I will try to give support as much as i can - to those who have marked as "INSTALLED"

[PoetJA-1975]

Yep - the correct way would be $stylevar[imgdir_misc]/buddy-image

Jacquii.

[Rocc]

I did everything correct and it looks good in all other areas but how do I get the comma and space them correctly?



If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

[ShawneyJ]

lol at the screen shots.

[Skierpetros]

I installed everything correctly and that happen ...




the image is also in the correct folder

[VeeDubZ]

the "forumhome_loggedinuser" template should be

<if condition="$show['comma_leader']">, </if>$stylevar[dirmark]<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]">$loggedin[musername]</a>$loggedin[invisiblemark]<if condition="$loggedin[buddymark]"><img src="/images/statusicon/buddy.gif" alt="User is on your buddy list"></if>

for it to give you the comma inbetween each username.

Tested and working on vb3.7.3

This is the only way I can get it to work for me.

Great modification, but this should be made into a product.

[Seiyaboy]

I have noticed that under showthread and forumdisplay, the + symbol is used instead of the buddy icon that was uploaded. Do you think you might be able to figure out why?

[itsheinz]

nice one,installed^^

[FiMeTi]

Hey ... you forgot to fix one location I just noticed!

In Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread you still see the "+".
I could add the .gif in "SHOWTHREAD" template, but I cant get rid of the little "+". lol

Its in "$activeusers", but where/how can I fix it and get the crapy "+" out of there?

Thanks 4 help
