I'm running vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3

While I haven't personally tested this with RC3, I see no reason for you not to have that line.. after all, without it, you wouldn't have a header. Try searching for just:

PHP Code:

$header = "' . fetch_template('header')

joeychgo, apply the same fix used to repair your FORUMHOME when you had this same problem.

I'm going to go ahead and just guess that you didn't install the templates. Verify they exist, and let me know.

I installed.

I have vB 3.0 Gold and have installed this without any glitches at all. This is the first Mod/Hack I have tried to install using vB and I must say I am delighted with how easy it was to do.

I have also tested it using phpAdsNew to delivery banners within the new columns... all works just fine. I will be using it on my boards.

I have yet to launch my boards as I currently have a moderately busy phpBB2 forum that I am waiting to migrate across to vB3 - so I am only using them for my learning of vB3 and they really don't look good at all. However, if anyone wants to see, PM me and I will be happy to help.

This worked great for me, however, is there anyway you can have it appear only on the forum home page, instead of all pages ??

Any ideas on how to insert an RSS feed into it?

thx

Well, with the way it's setup. No. You would have to do a bit of editing.
