I'm not sure why you are getting this error. The error has been reported before but only on vBulletin 3.7.x forums.

I run this on a 3.8 board no problem! Also if some of you forget to add a new forum (like I did

) then it will change one of your current categories/forum to the article forum and then to fix it just re-create your forum i.e. mimic the category title then go into each sub-forum and make the new forum the parent of them all and then rename your article forum to what you want and done

. Quick fix for some, a lot of pages on this mod already Bananalive so that means it's doing good and support is even better BUT if this was posted before now I apologize as I skimmed the posts.

S-MAN

Thanks,

I found that when I set "Use article postbit instead of default?" no 'No' the script error disappears and everything works fine, must be something in my modified 'postbit_legacy' that's causing the error!

Same here. Had that error, and then i edited my template, and it went away. But it stopped showing the article postbit, even though the option is set to "yes".

Oh well... It works

... I like the article template but ya gotta do what you gotta do...

glowinggal · #**329** 05-19-2009, 08:04 PM

how about adding the categories as they are created under the "articles" in the menu (just like the communities link on your sample site) exept:

articles
> category 1
> category 2

and so on

I tried both options, but they did not work. Neither the width, nor the exclusion of a style.

I inserted the style number "22" but it did not work. Was I supposed to insert something else?

dancue · #**331** 05-19-2009, 09:21 PM

Actually, none of the options you said you've added are working for me.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm seeing the options through the settings, but they are not working.
