P.S. Something I just noticed...

If I put rules.php in the "Navbar Replacements" for the links directory, it automatically puts it in the "Navbar Replacements" for the gallery as well without me adding it. And if I remove it from the links directorys "Navbar Replacements" it removes it from the gallery's "Navbar Replacements" as well. Strange.

But anyway, I can get the rules page to display through the links directory but not the gallery for some reason.

I found the problem.

In the nav bar I was using the following code for the Rules page link...

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="rules.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[vbrules_rules]</a></td> 


I changed it to the following code and it now works.

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://domainname.com/rules.php" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[vbrules_rules]</a></td> 


It seems to be working normal now.

Im still not sure why the rules.php gets placed into the gallery by the links directory though, but hey its working now...

Hack updated - gold version is now free.

[Snake]

Well, since the paid version is now free, does that mean I'll be getting my dough back?

[akanevsky]

Nope, it does not.

[Snake]

Whatever then.

I think the old version of this hack should also be offered, I actually prefer the older version over the new one and continue to use the old one...
