er...also.......
can you clarify this:
(from the install instructions):


1. In the Forum-Manager define one category as a gallery-category and set it as not visible.
does this mean?:
ACP>>forum manager>> add a forum called "gallery">> act as forum: "no" >>>Forum is Active: "no"
(that's my guess :/ )

2. Add the needed Forums for the gallery to the gallery-category and in the options set Gallery to 'Yes'

soo....
add forum>>parent forum/category:Gallery>>set what option to "yes"? :/

sorry again if these are stupid questions. first time installing major hack.

I suck. doesn't work.

I got to the end (guessed what to do on those parts in last post)

.....I made a "Gallery forum" (category) and well...its just a forum.
nothing else happens. just acts like it would normally. :ermm:

btw: I'm running Beta 4. dunno if that has anything to do with anything.

Harald,

Have you considered requesting new hook locations from vBulletin to be made in forumdisplay? If you haven't seen it, there's a thread at vb.com for this purpose:

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

did anyone actually get this work on Beta 4 forum?

plz let me know. stuck

@Grendel:

Let's see, if we can fix your problem.

First of all, did you create the needed templates?

You do this:

ACP->Styles&Templates->Styles-Manager->Selecting from the Style-Options-Menü: Add a new template.

Give it the neccessary name and in the big field fill in the code for the template.

For setting the category up:

Set the Display-Order to '0', so that it isn't visible (but still accessable) and 'Act as Forum' to 'No', as you already thought.

Before the save-button for the forum-options you should have a new YES/NO-Option named 'Gallery'. This is the gallery-option. Set this to yes.

This should be all.

The effect you got sounds like, that you didn't set the Gallery-Option to yes. Did you also don't forget to run the needed query? Check your database, if there is a field called 'gallery' in your forum-table.

To be sure i will check the code for vB 3.5.0 Beta4 tonight.

To answer correctly: Yes, it doesn't. Maybe i can implement it in the future, i don't know yet.

I also tested this on beta 4, but when I got to the end and tried to add a new forum my add new forum option in the admincp was now broken.

Under enable/disable features it now has a blank line with a yes/no and after that there is no longer a save option.

It also seems that maybe one of the hooks had been added to beta 4 already? I don't know coding, but when I went to edit the forumdisplay.php file I noticed some changes from what you had listed to search for and what was in the actual php file.

I think it was this

eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit_deleted') . '";'); 
}

else

{

$show['moderated'] = (!$thread['visible'] AND can_moderate($forumid, 'canmoderateposts')) ? true : false;

eval('$threadbit .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

}

which isn't the same in beta 4 I believe.

[Harald_T]

O.k., thanks, i'll check this.

I've downloaded RC1 yet, so i will concentrating on this version.

[Harald_T]

Yup, i've checked it. They changed the way for building the threadbit-templates, so to see. I'll try to fix this asap.
