[SRozhon]

Can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!!

[assassingod]

Thanks for the feedback.

[surfhog]

Thank you very much assassingod = all done and dusted - not 3 bad for a newbie but then again it's the brilliant coder that should take the credit for all the work and support

Installed on vb2.3.3 = OK

Just one last issue if I may? - Says that the cat images should be 50x50pix

I have attached a 50x50 image which shows in the ACP "Current Catagories in the database" But the images do not appear to show in the Tutorials Catagory Listings page Have I missed something again please and thanks

[surfhog]

Sorry assassingod

I thought I had solved it silly me - When I go into ACP and hit template modify = this QSL error and I can't quite figuare this one out, maybe getting to tired now

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.3.3:

Invalid SQL: SELECT templatesetid,title FROM templateset
mysql error: Table **** .templateset' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146


:disappointed:

[assassingod]

Right click on the broken image and tell me the URL of the image. As for the SQL error, i'm not too sure about that one. Have you installed anything else that may cause this problem.?

I'll wait for other people to confirm the SQL error if it's my hack.

But what must i modify for display pics into [.img] [./img] ?
A good tutorial is a tutorial with displayed ilustrations

I thought it did (I've just tested and it doesn't work)
I'll fix this tonight

[surfhog]

thanks again assassingod

Well all mysql went pear shaped last night So I have completely reinstalled vbb and I will try again

assassingod - is this or would it be, like a replacement for "Forums Arranged in Columns Addon: Forum Images"

Sorry to take up your valuable time

Thanks

[assassingod]

I'm not the sure about your question. Mind explaining it a bit further?

[surfhog]

So Sorry assassingod

To have taken up your time with my posts. Maybe I am trying to run before I can walk here, in that I thought that I had understood how the hacks work, but it appears not to be the case I have just tried the "Forums Arranged in Columns Addon" with a fresh new reinstall, this has gone wrong also So I do not mind admitting to my personal failings and go back to the drawing board as it were.

Down but not out yet, ha ha

Mind in my defense I noticed quite few posts, stating that there are problems with hacks on version 2.3.3 - but then as a newbie, I cannot say.

Anyway, thanks for trying........

[Xyphen]

That is just beautiful! Awesome work, I hope you have a vB3 version ready or in the works
