If so, you've should have installed TMS ages ago.

But you mod is nice and has default options to choose from, I tagged it maybe for later use. Thank you for sharing!

TMS just didnt do what I really needed and wanted, this is rather a different approach.

[Hornstar]

looks impressive. thanks for the release.

cool mod, but its giving me a php error in the who's online page, as i listed in this thread here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...45#post1730345


so this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /blah/blah/blah/functions_online.php(1170) : eval()'d code on line 31

is only because i have another mod that is trying to use the same hook?

any ideas? ive disabled vb tweak for now, but id love to keep using it, its a great mod for my lazy, non-template editing butt.

[Mulle]

I got the same problem as boandmichele.
I got some other hacks installed too.
Any ideéa?
It´s a very nice hack if this problem is solved!

[Benumbed]

Look in the Plugins, and disable vBTweaks Online Location Hook. This will resolve it til I find a good fix.

The "Hide vBulletin Copyright" option, is this against the vBulletin terms of service?

I mean, are you allowed to use this option if you have no branding free license?

I dont think so, otherwise buying a brand free license would make no sense

That is for if you want to place it otherwise or customize it somewhat, you can disable the default one.
