How to move location of the FORUMHOME.

To make it a hackless install (no template edits) this places a template on a unique "anchor" within the FORUMHOME template.

$search_text = '$navbar';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('forumhome_honorable'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

This says SEARCH for $navbar in template FORUMHOME and place template "forumhome_honorable" after.

Edit Plugin: Honorable Member: Forumhome

Find:

$search_text = '$navbar';

Change $navbar to where you wish to place the hack.

Anchor spots: (this will place in FORUMHOME)
$header - Above the Navbar
$navbar - Below the Navbar
<!-- what's going on box --> - Above what's going on box.
<!-- end what's going on box --> - Below what's going on box.

Many others explore :squareeyed:
(text / comment that is different than anything else in the template.)

Place the block where you want

You will want to edit the forumhome template and place the block where you want vs. use an anchor:

Edit plugin: Honorable Member: Forumhome
Replace:

$search_text = '$navbar';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('forumhome_honorable'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

with

eval('$honorable = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_honorable') . '";');

Edit FORUMHOME: Place in location of choice.

$honorable

Thank you for releasing a great hack such as this one!

[cdoyle]

thank you!!

I've been waiting for this, can't wait to install it.

I think for starters, it would be easier if you broke the install details up completely, one set for if it is used without CMPS, and one set for if it is with CMPS. It's hard for me to pick out the differences.

Also, need to know about the other files - I assume we are uploading them into the proper directories, but you may just want to add that in as a step..

Going to try and install now and see how it goes

I got it on the first try but I had to check my edits and read the installations instructions many times... LOL! Agreed Instructions needs refining but great job.
