Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Legacy_Thread as array in /home/XXXX/public_html/packages/vbcms/content.php(994) : eval()'d code on line 2

thx

Okay, I am currently using vb4.1.4

I was having this problem:

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Legacy_Thread as array in /home/XXXX/public_html/packages/vbcms/content.php(994) : eval()'d code on line 2 


So edit my content.php on line (994) as such:

PHP Code:

    //    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('showthread_query_postids')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


Now I am able to publish articles to the CMS, as well as click on the links to view them, or edit them.

Visit here http://www.streetblaze.net/streetblaze, and click on either Test or Test 2 to verify that it works well.

One feature suggestion I would like to see is when you are creating categories, that you can have some, that are not clickable.

For instance, one of my main categories is: Real Estate.

Now a subcategory would be Wholesaling. However, I don't want the Real Estate to be clickable. I do have it set to where no one could make a article post, but I know I will get people emailing or PMing me, telling me something is wrong..

Is it possible to stick an article? Not working on my article forum. I can choose it but article doesn't stick.

Is there any way to display the ratings and allow sorting by ratings in the list view?

The code is there to do it, but it doesn't seem to work (vBulletin 4.1.5 Patch Level 1)

When I disable this mod, the default forum views display the rating and sorting by ratings, but when I point this mod at the forum it does not display this... The code is the same between the two - so there is a problem with the check???

<vb:if condition="$show['threadratings']"><option value="voteavg" {vb:raw sort.voteavg}>{vb:rawphrase article_rating}</option></vb:if>

Any suggestions why this doesn't work?
