NOTE: Remove the spaces in front of each bracketed variable.

what is ment by this

[Chris M]

Well...

For example, there are spaces in the template, such as :

{ tablebgcolor}

Just find each case of "{ ", and remove the space...

P.S. - Only do it for ones that start with "{ " and end with "}"...

I installed it just fine, and I like it pretty much, aside from the gobutton replacing the "Submit Reply"...Is there some way to make it so it's perhaps a different graphic button that I make, or just a regular "Submit Reply" button?

I'm not too good with PHP, I just follow instructions, so moddifying isn't such an easy task =P

[mashby]

This hack was a long one, but if you follow the directions, it installs without a hitch. Excellent work and a VERY nice hack. Thank you!

replace [high]$gobutton[/high] with this:

<input type="submit" class="bginput" name="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="2">

change the value to whatever name you want to give it to your button.

Bah...

I'm getting the following error:

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/forum.com/httpdocs/newreply.php on line 312

Any tips?

[TECK]

if you get any parse errors, please read the information placed at the end in the instructions file.
a parse error is due only to code errors, while you modify or write it.

I've installed the Hack.. and it does what it's supposed to..

Except.. that when you either open or close a thread (and post a comment), the thread comes back without my post attached to it.

It only shows up after a reload of the thread..

Does anyone else notice this.. or did I screw up somewhere ?

PS: And another question.. how do I make this box respond to Alt-S (instead of pressing the button).

[TECK]

crazza, there are several people who installed this hack without any problem.
check your code segments, there is alot of it.

[havefun]

thanks 4 your box!

works fine on 227...

lg, havefun :rambo:

I've checked the code and the templates. But the problem still persists.

Can anyone who actually installed this hack confirm that newreply.php does not correctly reload the page immediately when you "reply with open/close" ... and does reload correctly if when you "reply without open/close".

You can probably imagine that I want this confirmed before I go digging deep into the code again.
