How do I...

Just by playing with the board I figured a few things out but I like any other newbie have questions.

1 - When someone goes to post a message it automatically checks the Send me e-mail box! Is there a way to disable this?

2 - How can I add tables to the forums (not involving the Header & Footer)?

3 - If there is a hack for me to upload more than 1 Smilie in Control Panel at a time could you please direct me that way?

4 - How can I take out the Moderator section on the First Forum / Category page?

5 - How do I take out the "Views" section in a Forum?

6 - How do I add vB code ([center])? I tried the little manual thing, but it didn't work!

These are my questions! My vB is located http://www.u-a-n.com/forums

1 - That's only checked when the user has it checked in it's profile.
If you don't want the feature, take it out yer templates,
or rip it out completely (not recommended!).

2 - Edit your templates.

3 - There is, use the search.

4 - Edit your templates.

5 - Edit your templates.

6 - What do you mean with 'little manual thing'???

1 - What is a Template. This is my first ever dealing with PHP & MySQL!

2 - I searched results 0

3 - The manual add code in the Admin section!

4 - Templates! Around what area do I edit for these things?

Templates are the blocks of HTML code that draws each individual page.

These really have nothing to do with PHP and MySQL but any well designed script should use them. Pity UBB doesn't.

Anyway. If you simply look in your Control Panel You will find a section called templates in the left hand menu. You can add new templates or modify existing ones there. The $words represent variables like the post, user information and other templates. Leave those alone until you know what your doing or you will be in a world of hurt if you delete the wrong one. Simply edit the HTML to your liking and go. I use Homesite to make major changes and copy the code in. You can use whatever your used to.

thnx wluke, now i don't have to explain it to him

AMG: search. it is here in the hacks forum.. just search and you'll find it *aargh i'm being soo mean :P*

1 - Which templates would I have to adjust to take out the email notify auto check?

2 - Which templates would I have to edit in order to put up tables under the BBtitle?

3 - Which templates would I have to edit in order to change where the "New Thread" images go?

4 - I tried installing the Stars hack but it was too confusing?

5 - What should I look for specifically concerning the more smilies at once?

1. registeradult and editprofile

2. the templates for each page you want to put it in.

3. forumdisplay and showthread

4. how do I answer that?

5. the smilies section in the control panel allows you to add extra smilies.

1 - If I wanted the table to show up in every forum and on the frontpage!

2 - What exactly should I search for concerning Uploading / adding more than 1 smilie at a time!

3 - How would I add HTML coding like (change {} to [] for the example) {center}Here{/center} acting as (change ^to <>^)^center^Here^/center^ and others?

4 - Assuming I have 12 Ranks

1 - 10 are standard for all the users then Mod + Admin!

I tried adding the Stars Hacks, but for some reason it wouldn't add the Cstom Titles!

Maybe before you try installing hacks, you should learn more about PHP and MySQL.

Check out:
http://www.webmasterbase.com/article.php?aid=228&pid=0

This will give you the basics and get you started on the path to fruitful and entertaining vBulletin coding.

Just forget it! I will figure out myself like I had to with the UBB, even though there were more hacks, and tech support!

Don't worry about it!

Thanx for all the time you wasted! :|
