Forum Introduction · **Released**: 03-14-2002

After installing this hack, you will be able to post a unique introduction for each forum. Sub-forums will show their parent's introduction, unless they have one of their own. This feature is available in ezBoard, so us ezBoard refugees are already familiar with it.

This hack does not add any additional SQL queries to your forum! it was inspired by PPN's hack, which was based on FireFly's code.

I've got it working fine with 2.2.7

I've reinstalled this hack on 2.2.8 and the introductions show up on each forum even though I don't have a template created for them. Is something different with 2.2.8? Anyone else experiencing this?

How can I limit the intro's only to forums I create templates for? Maybe I am missing something? Help please!

Thanks!

Logician figured out that if you have "show template names" turned on in the Admin CP, this will cause the blank introductions to show up without templates being created for them.

Thanks for finding the answer Logician!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
