Very clever stuff - how did you come up with such a good idea?

Just a thought

LOL - a little birdie gave him the idea

Really? Who was that? Ho hum.

Just a thought

So Ed when are you going to do this favorite forums hack? I like what is there but it needs more functionality like being able to go back to the setup page and see those areas that you already have checked and either add to or delete them.

See if you can give it the ol' Ed Sullivan touch.

cal - didn't you know there's a recently discovered bird called the "Red-Breasted cal". I hear that's what told him

Parker - I dunno IF I'll even do it. I'm working on an attachment hack now and making my article script release quality.

When I looked at the demo Dave had up, it remembered what I had checked when I went back to favorites and I could select more or unselect what I had already. I registered on his board to test it out and it seems to do what it is supposed to.

Dave:

I am not sure what he means in Step 6.

// Step 6.
// find another line to complete "if" syntax between following two line

} // if can view
} // while forums

// insert

} // if favorite

I am not sure what to put where in this statement. I am getting a parsing error at line 237 which is the line that } // if can view starts. I tried putting a } between
the if can view and while forums lines but still get the parsing error.

How did you get this to work on your board?

The instructions aren't as clear as they could be. You put the "} // if favorites" in the right place. Did you put the "if ($favoriteonly == 0 ..." stuff in the right place? (Note the "ABOVE" instructions, in the snippet below.)

// #######################
// Step 5.
// Find in index.php
if ($getperms[canview]==1) {
// then add following codes ABOVE it (NOTE:ABOVE!!)

// ===Start of My favorite code===
if( $favoriteonly == 0 || ($favoriteonly==1 &&
$selarray[$forum[forumid]]=="T") ) {
// ===End of My favorite code===
