when you click on for example shopping it goes to www.manutdchat.com/shopping instead of where ever

check out http://www.manutdchat.com/forums/odp/php-odp.php to see what i mean

p.s. cheers for the support

ack, download the new fixed version.

DarkReaper you may want to move the .php files into your forums directory or make a new custom template to act a header for the hack with the links pointing to the correct places...

A custom header can be loaded by changing
$odp['header'] = $header;
to
$odp['header'] = gettemplate("my_template");

now it isnt working at all

got these errors

Parse error: parse error in /home/sites/site193/web/forums/odp/php-odp.include.php on line 65

Warning: fopen("","r") - No such file or directory in /home/sites/site193/web/forums/odp/php-odp.php on line 161

In php-odp.include.php find
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']!="")

change it to
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']!="") {

The zip file contains this change.

Can I have a look at your phpinfo.php output.. the script is included with vBulletin or you can make one by uploading a .php file containing just

PHP Code:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

oh and clean out the contents of your cache directory particularly the file called "default".

ive pmed you the info
thanx

thank you but your version of php is only 4.0.3pl1 which is not compatible php4.0.5+ is required for the hack currently.

I will try and add support for your version of php in the next release of the hack (v1.2) due whenever I finish it.

I keep getting this no matter where I put the files. I've tried to go over the include file over and over but I'm obviously missing something

Parse error: parse error in /home/zkast/public_html/forums/odp/php-odp.include.php on line 65

Warning: fopen("","r") - Success in /home/zkast/public_html/forums/odp/php-odp.php on line 161

Your using the latest zip? "php_odp_vb1-1c.zip" as "php_odp_vb1-1b.zip" contains a typo which would give you that result see post 23 for the fix.
