+UPDATE+
+Thanks to Link14716, your selections stay selected after your users save them in their profiles. The ZIP file has been updated with the new code. Or if you just want the code then check out THIS post.
+IF YOUR HACK HAS THE ANIMAL 'CATEPILLER' MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE SPELLING ERROR!! Silly me, I misspelled the word 'catepiller'. You need to update /includes/functions_showthread.php and the MODIFYPROFILE template from the word 'catepillar' to 'catepiller' with an E.

*Note: I no longer support this mod in any form or fashion. Please don't PM me with questions about it.

...nice hack, except something's not working for me.

When I go to profile.php, I get this error:

PHP Code:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/quibbler/public_html/forums/profile.php on line 912 


On line 912, I see:

PHP Code:

'pettype' => INT, 


Around it is this code:

PHP Code:

// homepage doesn't match the [url]http://-style[/url] format in the beginning -- possible attempted exploit
            $homepage = '';
        }
    }
    
//##### Begin vB3 Pets #####     
globalize($_POST, array( 
    'pettype' => INT, 
    'petgender' => INT, 
    'petowned' => INT, 
    'petname' => STR_NOHTML 
)); 
//##### End vB3 Pets ##### 


Additionally, on showthread.php, I get this error:

PHP Code:

Parse error: parse error in /home/quibbler/public_html/forums/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 765

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/quibbler/public_html/forums/includes/functions_showthread.php:765) in /home/quibbler/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 2752 


I'm following the instructions exactly as far as I can tell. Is it because I'm running vb3 RC4? Would it just be my server?

Thanks to anyone who replies. I'd really like to get this fixed. :ermm:

I followed the great installation instructions. However when I was at the part

editied my postbit. The pet dident show up. Now I just did the same mod in
postbit_legacy and it works!

Thanks JackG!!!!!!
I am not sure why, but last time I tried to make it work, I used postbit and then made the changes to postbit_legacy, but it still didn't work for me. I tried it again today and now it works!!!

I am so happy I have this hack! Thanks again JackG for the hint!

Excellent digitalSite!

Does anyone know how I can limit the Pets usage to users in a specific category?

This can be done using vB3 <if> statements. My guess is that it would be best to wrap the table where the user can change their pet info in MODIFYPROFILE in something like

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroup]==2"> table stuff here </if>

That right there would only let the pets show up for user group 2. You can change the "==2" to "!=2" to make it so that all groups EXCEPT group 2 can see the pet stuff in the profile.

Any idea why mine won't work, Josh? Do you know if this hack is suppoesd to work with RC4? Should I just try installing it again?

The hack has been installed multiple times on RC4. Try re-installing.

Whew! Finally got it working. Excellent hack; I can't wait for v2.0

[JackG]

Awesome, I will give it a try
