i notice you say theres a template edit....

i didnt edit any template as i did not find any instructions to do so...

is the product suppose to change the template itself?

just wanted to clear that up incase im missing something here

I've just upgraded my test site to 3.6.7PL and this still seems to be working OK for me...
The plugin modifies the templates on the fly - this is good in that you don;t need to make template edits and if you uninstall the hack you don;t need to undo template edits. It is possible bad in that it can conflict with other hacks and not work.

I will put up instructions for you to manually make the template edits in the next couple days...

Please make this to work for 3.6.7 also please

dartho · #19 08-01-2007, 09:37 PM

I'll have a look into it ...

I've tested under a 3.6.7PL1 board which has nothing but my own add-ons installed and it works fine.

You've possibly got other addons or have modified your templates which is causing issues.

You can manually modify the SHOWTHREAD template.
search for:

Code:

$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</option>

replace with

Code:

$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</option>
<option value="incviews">$vbphrase[inc_views]</option><option value="decviews">$vbphrase[dec_views]</option>

then search for:

Code:

$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>

replace with:

Code:

$vbphrase[remove_redirects]</label></div>
<div><label for="ao_inc"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_inc" value="incviews" />$vbphrase[inc_views]</label></div>
<div><label for="ao_dinc"><input type="radio" name="do" id="ao_dinc" value="decviews" />$vbphrase[dec_views]</label></div>

Once you've made the above changes, disable the "Inc / Dec Thread Views: Display Option" plugin which is meant to do these changes for you.

Just to recap - semi manual instructions are: Install product, Make template mods above, disable "Inc / Dec Thread Views: Display Option" plugin

I think that should do it...

Click "Mark as Installed" if it works for you
