Okay, I've installed it on a seperate test forums that I setup just for little tweaks and mods I want to test out. Installation is fine along with my own minor modifications, however any tips on how to modify the .XML file so that it changes the position in forumhome and adds a seperate module toward the bottom under 'What's Going On?' like what's in the attached image?

^^ Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

[vbreal]

has anyone got this to work for 3.5.4

[Tyegurl]

i had it working on 3.5.4 but couldn't get vbadvance to put the module on the Homepage....but it was on my forum pages...but i upgraded vbulletin

I installed it on my 3.6.0 beta 3 also and works great thanks!!

edit: [3.6.0 beta3] had a small problem with it constantly changing the Honorable Member when I refreshed the page....so i went to task manager and set it to "Honorable Member" for the product at the bottom of the setting for this mod....stopped switching the member now. I will keep an eye on it.

edit: still changing everytime i refresh...worked for a few times back back to changing again...

I got it to work on my vB 3.5.4 too however I'd love to have this as a module instead of a heading on forumhome.

[Tyegurl]

yes that would be nice.

i couldn't get it to work...i got db errors...wish i could help.

[Skedoozy]

I got the same error everyone else got in 3.5.4

Invalid SQL:
SELECT dateline, userid FROM customavatar WHERE userid =;

No fix for this??

I would love to use it on my home page as a module.

I know that it's in the .XML file as to how it is to be "displayed" in the forums, however this is an area where I'm not so great at custom coding. I know that if I spent an afternoon or a few hours at least reverse engineering another module, I'm sure I can get it on my own. I was hoping another more experienced coder would lend advise, however it looks like this one will have to be upon me (or amongst us at least) if we really want this to be reality.

A little experimenting and it's more that just the .XML; it's three templates too that need to be modded. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
