Incorrect template variables fixed ("$post[username]" and "$userinfo[username]")
MEMBERINFO bug fixed

A few notes about custom icons... I have found through testing that using custom icons on your web server can make the online status icons load a lot faster. I suggest you download the icons from whichever online status server you use, and upload them to your forum directory (I put mine in images/icons). This is not necessary, just a little tip.

Please Please Please remember that even tough this hack is stable, things can still go wrong. I cannot and will not be held responsible for anything this hack may do to your forum or theme. As always, I recommend that you backup your database before applying this hack. Also please note that I reserve the right to remove this mod at any time.

If you use this mod please click Install.

Thanks,

ty so much man! that will be so kind and very appreciated.

very very merry Christmas

have fun

P.S. in the 1.0.1 xml there is a wrong version number "<version>1.0.0</version>". To avoid confusion with codes remember to upgrade it ....ciao and take care

I apologize for my bad english, hope is understandable

[adb22791]

Version 1.0.2 now has the correct version number

[Silvio]

:nervous:

OSI 6.1 has Jabber and a selection field for icons selection. (example : http://www.funnyweb.dk/osi/index.php )


how could be integrated jabber on the hack?

how is possible to use Select set # field from your hack?

Hmm, you would have to add a new user profile field, then add the required template, then add the code from my hack. Also more admin fields would have to be created, it would be very complicated and I would have to turn this hack into an extension (which may happen, but hopefully not for awhile). I can look into it (I am looking into Skype support right now) for you though.

The problem is not using the field, the problem is setting vbulletin up so that users can choose to display that data. Unfortunatly that would make this hack at the very least an Extension, more likely a code mod, which isn't where I want to take this project, at least not yet.

Thanks,

[Totti]

Ho, nice extension
Though it seems as if it is not working with custom icons for me
Here you can find an examplethread ... all the statusgfx are loaded from the-server.net, instead of our server. In ACP i set custom icons to yes and entered all the path-fields.

[adb22791]

Hmm, thats odd. Are you sure you have the latest version 1.0.2? I havn't found any errors on my website so far.

i had the same experience, i couldnt get it to load the local content so i just found the fastest server i could find
