ViciousCode · #**115** 04-30-2010, 09:13 PM

i dont have right to left experience, sorry

JohnMcClane · #**116** 04-30-2010, 11:02 PM

Probably already been asked but isn't it possible to have this modification without template edits?

sKippah · #**117** 05-07-2010, 10:56 AM

Would be nice if u could use the vb

hrase instead of "My Profile - Edit Profile and so on"
Thanks

fluidswork · #**118** 05-07-2010, 04:06 PM

Nice addon !!!!!!!!!!!

Jacob_ITAPros · #**119** 05-08-2010, 03:40 AM

Everything is fine for me, however the two administrative lines:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['admincplink']"><li><a href="{vb:raw admincpdir}/index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" class="th-underline">Admin cPanel</a></li></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['modcplink']"><li><a href="{vb:raw modcpdir}/index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" class="th-underline">Mod cPanel</a></li></vb:if>

...Are not working for me. The {vb:raw admincpdir} variable (and the mod one) is not picking up for some reason and as a result, these lines links directly to site.com/index.php. The path is fine and these links are identical to what is being used in the footer to do the same thing, the only difference is that they work in the footer.

Can anyone duplicate this issue?

BellyBelly · #**120** 05-10-2010, 11:18 PM

Can anyone show me an example in a bigger screenshot, so I can see where/how it sits in the forum?

GamerPerfection · #**121** 05-20-2010, 05:03 PM

Awesome, looks good on my test site. Thanks and installed.
