Thanks!

Apparently according to the Devs this has already been fixed, but evidently it has not... :ermm:

I guess the fix that Freddie gave for Beta 1 is no longer the problem...

Apparently however they "fixed" it it broke somewhere else...

About the table width - You might have to alter the HTML code a bit - It is almost a direct copy of the "forumhome events" HTML so there shouldn't be a problem...

very good

thank you

How can hide some forums?

[Chris M]

Not tested, but should work

In the plugin code, add:

PHP Code:

$limitfids = ,x,y,z; 


before:

PHP Code:

foreach($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum) { 


Replace [high]x,y,z[/high] with the forumids you wish to exclude

thank you so much

How about just want to show 1 or 2 forms?

[Chris M]

Hrm...

You will need to alter the query this time

Again, not tested, but in the plugin code, find:

PHP Code:

AND forumid NOT IN (0$limitfids) 


add above:

PHP Code:

AND forumid IN ($showfids) 


Now find:

PHP Code:

    // ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##
    if (!$forumperms["$forum[forumid]"] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) {
        $limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
    } 


add below:

PHP Code:

$showfids = x,y,z; 


Replace [high]x,y,z[/high] with the forumids you want users to be able to view

hellsatan, thank you for this plug-in

what about if i want these last topics appear in all my forum pages? not just in the form home?

thank you

[Chris M]

Hrm...

I suppose in theory you could change the "forumhome_complete" hook location to a "global_complete" location, and then edit something like the footer template to include the table and $threadbits variable...

Satan

[albarq]

i did something like this but i edit the navbit template ... that works just in form home...

then i tried to change from forumhome_complete to ... global_complete but i got an error :

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/users/public_html/board/includes/functions.php(4118) : eval()'d code on line 22
