About Developer · **Released**: 12-24-2001

Well, with over 200 downloads and 32 problem free install's, I though it time to take this out of the beta hacks forum (note, there are no changes to the file in the beta forum, so no need to re-download if you already have the hack installed).

I put this together originally as a walkthrough for an admin friend, and thought someone might find it useful. Althouth technically, my contribution is a couple of simple template edits, it does contain hacks posted previously.

Like I said, it's a combination of 2 previously relesed hacks (both credited fully). One by Firefly (avatar hack) and one by MrLister (since your last visit). It combines both of these hacks into a welcome panel at the top of the BB, just like the one here and on a few other sites. I'm pretty much a newbie to vB hacking, and struggled to put this together myself (couldn't find any instructions/hacks etc), but I think I've done an OK job. Maybe this will save a few headaches to others like myself

Anyway, here's a pic to illustrate the hack/edit (or whatever it is

)

You can see a working verion of this hack here:

The Genome Collective

Thanks to Firefly and MrLister for providing the PHP hacks in this err, whatever

(BTW, if this is in the wrong forum, please (mods) feel free to move it)

Happy Christmas everyone.

here it is:

edit: updated version number to 2.2.6 because it works

There are no changes to the files - it's not a new release. Thanks. /edit

Wow,
your avatar r0xx0rz very cool cow!! Can I please use it on my forum?

Tech_Koss · #**183** 04-05-2002, 04:09 PM

Floris · #**184** 04-06-2002, 06:18 AM

Done!~
If someone from bbaddons has a prob with it, lemme know and I will remove it again. Currently I let users with 50+ posts use it

Any idea why my avatars are not showing up using 2.2.4 now? They have always worked in the past. http://www.sportcompactracing.com/vbulletin/index.php

f5hosting · #**186** 04-08-2002, 01:13 AM

did you rehack it after your upgrade? I just rehacked my pugzoners.com board and it worked. Some of the templates get overwritten with the upgrade.

99SIVTEC · #**187** 04-08-2002, 01:19 AM

Do you know where I can find a list of the template changes between 2.2.x and 2.2.4? I have vbportals installed and would hate to have to recreate my whole theme from scratch...

Thanks though Allen .....ohh and by the way I got my e-mail working over at f5

f5hosting · #**188** 04-08-2002, 01:22 AM

As for the list of template changes, I dont know...unless they have them at vbulletin.org in the announcements section....coolio with the email thihng also!
