Last post on forum home, working version

I had tried a version suggested by someone else instead of my own and well, all it did was send the load average up by about 10 times what it was.

This version inserts the last title into the forum database when it is updating the last post name and time. There is no difference in loading time as everything is called normally by vBulletin.

This works on 2.0.x and 2.2.x

hmmm ignore my advise, deleting that } just stops any of the forums counters from working.

My forums now have all the updated files and template as per the mod instructions except for admin/functions.php which is back to the old version and everything seems to be working ok ???

What are the implications of this ? Or better still how can i stop the

Parse error: parse error

&

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: makelogincode()

as above ???

THanks in advance

[kms]

I am in the middle of installing this hack. I was about to go to moodify templates, I clicked on Templates - Modify in the Admin Pane, and got:

Parse error: parse error in /***/admin/functions.php on line 811

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbdate() in /***/admin/sessions.php on line 356

[TObject]

Here is the line # 811:

PHP Code:

        $buffer = str_replace(""", "\"", $buffer); 


And here is the block of code this line is in:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start phphighlite #######################
function phphighlite($code) {
  //PHP 4 only

  if (floor(phpversion())<4) {
    $buffer=$code;
  } else {
        $code = str_replace("<br>", "", $code);
        $code = str_replace("<br />", "", $code);
        $code = str_replace(">", ">", $code);
        $code = str_replace("<", "<", $code);

        $code = str_replace("&", "&", $code);
        $code = str_replace('$', '\$', $code);
        $code = str_replace('\n', '\\\\n', $code);
        $code = str_replace('\r', '\\\\r', $code);
        $code = str_replace('\t', '\\\\t', $code);

        $code = stripslashes($code);

        if (!strpos($code,"<?") and substr($code,0,2)!="<?") {
            $code="<?\n".trim($code)."\n?>";
            $addedtags=1;
        }
        ob_start();
        $oldlevel=error_reporting(0);
        highlight_string($code);
        error_reporting($oldlevel);
        $buffer = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
        if ($addedtags) {
          $openingpos = strpos($buffer,'<?');
          $closingpos = strrpos($buffer, '?');
          $buffer=substr($buffer, 0, $openingpos).substr($buffer, $openingpos+5, $closingpos-($openingpos+5)).substr($buffer, $closingpos+5);
        }
        $buffer = str_replace(""", "\"", $buffer);
  }

  return "</normalfont><blockquote><pre><smallfont>PHP:</smallfont><hr>$buffer<hr></pre></blockquote><normalfont>";
}

Does anyone see anything wrong?

I rolled back all the changes to PHP files, and I still get the parse error on line 811 of admin/functions.php

just to let you.. i installed this hack without a problem in 225. it works like a charm. it's a great hack for busy boards. however, i made a little hack similary to this. PPN was kind enough to look at the code and his conclusion was that the code is reliable only for medium to small boards. i totally agree with him.

concerning the PPN's hack installation, is simple and precise, all you have to do is follow at letter his instructions.
a little note:
if you installed this hack, make sure you reply or post into a thread, if you dont see any latest title available in forumhome. it will update the database.

for my hack, you could evaluate the comments made by firefly and PPN here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37952

one more time, if you follow PPN's install guidelines, it will work great. i know i did and got it working in about 5minutes.
good luck and happy hacking.
