Hi NTLDR,

I love this hack!

Anyway - Some problems resist:
Collapsing this section collapses it. <- o.k.
BUT - it doesn't remember the status (collapsed/uncollapsed)
To be honest, it's acting very weird ... sometimes the icon doesn't change... sometimes it's the wrong icon... sometimes it stays collapsed... sometimes not.

And if there was no post icon chosen for the post it shows a broken image link in front of every thread listed in the box.

Maybe you give it a try and recheck those issues?
Would be great to use this hack fully functional!
Thanks!

btw: I'm using it with the RC3 version. But I guess that couldn't be it?!

Best regards...
Goyko

In your FORUMHOME template find:

HTML Code:

style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_threads]">

Replace with:

HTML Code:

style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_latestthreads]">

That should fix the expand/collapse issue.

Do you have a default icon specified in your options? If so what have you entered there?

ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Thread Display Options (showthread) -> Show Default Post Icon

I assume its still there in post Gamma versions.

Oh .. I was looking for a radio button :ermm:

Yes I have entered "images/icons/icon1.gif" in this field.
And the icon exists.

But ... shame on me

... the problem is NOT the default icon!
There are only problems, if an icon has been chosen for the post!
So it's the exact opposite, from what I was telling before.
Weird!

Sorry for misleading you ... should have observed more carefully!

Best regards...

OK, this should fix it:

Find this code in index.php

PHP Code:


			
    if ($thread['iconid']) {

        $show['icon'] = true;

        $thread['threadiconpath'] = &$iconcache["$thread[threadiconid]"]['iconpath'];

        $thread['threadicontitle'] = &$iconcache["$thread[threadiconid]"]['title'];

    } elseif (!empty($vboptions['showdeficon'])) {

        $show['icon'] = true;

        $thread['threadiconpath'] = $vboptions['showdeficon'];

        $thread['threadicontitle'] = $vbphrase['default'];

    }

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


			
    $icon = fetch_iconinfo($thread['iconid']);

    

    if (is_array($icon)) {

        $show['icon'] = true;

        $thread['threadiconpath'] = $icon['iconpath'];

        $thread['threadicontitle'] = $icon['title'];

    }

That should fix it

All it does, is leading to a parse error on line 464

NTLDR · #19 01-22-2004, 07:20 PM

Whats on line 464?

Goyko · #20 01-22-2004, 07:32 PM

Never mind

I forgot a closing ";" at the end.

Now going to check if it works.

Goyko

Edit:

Now it works!
Thanks very much!

Thank you for making this hack!

You should put your Icon FIX into the installer cause I had the same problem!
After the fix it seems to worked with the icons

HOWEVER why can I see postings made in my developer section when I?m loged out?
Only Admins and Developers have access there!???

I thought the permissions where checked before displaying?

* StarBuG clicks install but hopes the fix for permissions comes soon

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
