Hack worked great until I switched to LEGACY

Hello,

Before I did not use postbit_legacy, and did not do the file edits for that templette. I switched now, and figured I could just do the two templette changes that were requested.

I did that, and I see no additions when viewing the actual threads on my page..

What is going on? What additional things do I have to do, etc...

Thanks!

There should be no addititional changes except the template changes to postbit_legacy for your style.

Right, if you did the changes as suggested, there shouldn't be any additional things. Everything should work OK.

hmm..but this is not the case. The warning system still displays fine if I show the regular postbit, but even with the templette additions to postbit_legacy the changes do not show...

my site is http://www.volconvo.com

Check the changes you made in postbit_legacy. If the AWS things do not show there, you haven't made the changes correctly.

guys,

I really love the system you have here, and my type of forum relies on it now-my moderators are crazy mad

When I view the source of a topic, such as http://www.volconvo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5393, the warning system appears to be there within the code.

I really need this script running again, but I really like the legacy style and do not see why I should have to change back.

Please help.

First of all, the links you give us are useless, since I am not going to register with another site, just to have a look at it. And as a guest, I can't see much of your problem.

Seecond, if you follow the instructions, for changing postbit_legacy, everything should work just fine, as it works in postbit. There should be absolutely no difference in functionality, just the place the various information/buttons etc are presented, changes.

If you can't figure out your problem, I can help you out, but this is not free.

Sv1, you are wrong.

I have it installed correctly. It works fine if I do not have postbit_legacy enabled.

First of all, remove the template code from your post above, if you do not want to hear from the moderators, it's against your license agreement to make vB code public.

Second, I tend to agree with you. I am wrong. What do I know? You know better than me, obviously. The only thing I do not understand is, why your template does not work. Maybe because you know better than me? Maybe because you haven't done the edits as I describe them? Who knows.

But since I do not know and you do, I am sure you will figure it out.

Wow,

How rude. All I said is that you were wrong. I did the hacks correctly. It works in the regular postbit templette, and I never bothered making the changes to legacy until now, and that is what is not working-despite it being in the source if you view any topic on my site (you do not have to register so I do not know what you are ranting about).

Sorry you take criticism of your condescending tone so seriously. I will find help with this hack from someone who can actually help. I am more than willing to pay people with actual people skills.

I just find it weird that I can disable postbit_legacy and the hack works fine.

Oh and you are so arrogant in this thread that I can tell that you have not even pondered the possibility that there could be a bug or it could simply be a function of the hack that does not allow you to add the templette additions at a later time without doing the other install instructions with it.
