If you do wish to try installing v1.9 on your forum you will need to remove the following line from product file

HTML Code:

		<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.8.0" maxversion="" />

Thank you very much. Everything appears to be working very well!

Also, a very easy question, I'm sure - how would I change the ...... separators for news feeds with an image (for example, my forum gradient bar)?

Thanks for all your help, banana.

Find in articles.php

PHP Code:


			
eval('$a_breaking .= "' . fetch_template('af_articlebit') . '";');

Before add

PHP Code:


			
$thread['preview'] = substr($thread['preview'], 0 , 100);

where 100 is preview length you want.

Just add image at top of template af_articlebit and remove the following code:

HTML Code:

border-top-width: 1px; border-top-style: dotted;

That's exactly what it was. Problem solved, mod works great! Thanks!

Try clearing your browser cache.

Okay, so the issue appears to be with IE. I can not replicate the error with FF.

Is their anyway to get this working without the redirect to articles.php? I.e. clicking on the forum goes straight there

You can put a link to articles.php in the forum manager, that would take you straight then without redirecting

I have a different question. Is there any way to change the articles.php title without the vbphrase? So I can have the breadcrumbs eg. Reviews and my mainpage title separated.

This is really important to me as I'm using this for the main page (changed it to index.php) and it's kinda stupid having Reviews written up there instead of my websites title.

Any help greatly appreaciated

I'd also like to know this as I want to use it for the home page to.

Great mod.
