Hello Everyone,

As far as I can see, this mod looks like the best of its kind, so thank you for your hard work!

I noticed that this mod adds a copyright at the bottom of the page. Is there a branding free option to remove the copyright?

Can you let me know either way? If so, can you provide me with some details like how much, how to go about paying for it? Etc...

In addition, when will an updated version be coming out, hopefully with some new features as suggested?

Thank You,


Nuguru

Don't forget that this extension are free contribution and developpers also have real life and responsabilities to manage.

I am sure Deviation is preparing a new version of this awesome hack and will release it soon.

Hey All!!!! I'm baaaaccckkk!

I didn't mean to abandon everyone. Sorry about that. For some reason I haven't been getting emails telling me there were replies to this thread. Plus some real life things had to get dealt with.

I'm getting back on this again. Look forward to seeing some new features. I'll try to read through all the replies (wow there's alot) and see what I can help you all with. I'm in the process of acquiring another vB license as the one I was using I don't have access to (I was assisting with dev on another site). Just gotta find that $160 for a license.....

Here is a snap shot of what im trying to do
That's an interesting layout there. If you look into the template code that's included, you should be able to use that with your template. It may require some tweaking since that appears to be a smaller layout.

----------------------
Redirecting...

Can't find phrase ''

If your browser etc...
Proceed button
------------------------

and then redirects just fine.

err, what phrase? It works, but this looks bad!

any ideas?

Thanks, Grant
That's an odd one. Try reinstalling it? Maybe some of the phrases didn't get installed properly.

thanx.
Nope. This is for 3.5.x only. This uses extensions and not hacks like 3.0.6. Sorry.

Working on verifying 3.6 though.

Thank you. In all honesty I didn't expect to get this much attention.

There may be in the future. As of now, no. I've had a few requests about it.

Soon!


I think I've added all the feature requests to the list. If I haven't, let me know.

Good news. 1) I have a license (yay!) and 2) vB.Sponsors works with 3.6 without changes. More to follow.

Look in your phrase manager under the GLOBAL phrases. The phrase name is sponsored_by.

Thank you for the reply. But how would I go about removing the text phrase completely? I noticed I can change the text but not sure how to remove it.

Just delete the text in between the
HTML Code:
<span></span>
tags. No text will appear if you do that. You can't delete the phrase itself.
