We are trying to add multiple last post blocks in VBAdvanced if anyone knows how are where please point us in the right direction

I believe you can do this by creating multiple modules that each pull from a different forum.

I am trying to register on the other board, but I am not receiving the validation e-mail. I have already checked the e-mail address. Hmm.

Anyone know the scoop?

[BilldaCat]

possible dumb question..

can I configure it to allow admins who post news items to use HTML, but not allow people who respond to use it? vB only seems to allow HTML on a forum by forum level.. has this added any ability to do that? I really need more control display-wise over the news content.

[SamirDarji]

I don't think it can do that. It follows the normal rules for that forum.

There are, however, a few new options. A new 'Global vBadvanced Settings' group has been added which contains three new settings - 'Header Replacements', 'Navbar Replacements', and 'Footer Replacements'. These options will allow you to enter a list of filenames that may be in your header, navbar, and footer that need to have your forum's URL added in front of the name. These new options should prove to be useful for those who have installed hacks and need to replace the filename for these, or for those who have installed a style in which the default navbar links have been moved to the header. These will also be global options for all future vBadvanced products and will affect vBa CMPS 1.0.1, vBa Links 1.0.1 (to be released shortly), and vBa Gallery RC3 (also to be released shortly).
The last new setting is the 'Portal Output Global Variables' option. This option will be useful for those who have added other hacks to vBulletin and need to add the variables from those hacks to the print_portal_output() function's global list. Now instead of having to edit any files, you may simply add the variable name in this setting.
For those who wish to upgrade, you will find upgrade instructions at the bottom of the readme file included in the new zip package.

Don't know. Try over at www.vbadvanced.com. I'd be interested too. I've got quite a few modules on my home page.

[KW802]

utlamer, SamirDarji: Check your settings to global.php to make sure you got this changes correctly. If you're sure that the changes to global.php are correct then check your modules to make sure that the template names are still present.

I clicked "instal" and want to confirm that this is working with 3.0.6
