Hey TECH, I love this hack and would love to implment it into my Forum also. I am really new to this and I followed your directions to the T and I get this error..

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/xxx/public_html/Forum/showthread.php on line 508

I am running 2.2.8.

Is there anything else that I can do?? Please?? hehe

I have installed the hack to my new site, but it didn't show up on the forum. It is weird. And I have check over for 4 times already. Any clue? Thanks!

I understand whatyou are sayin, but I triple checked my code. I used my backup showthread.php file 3 times too.. I dont think I could do the same typo 4 times.

It does say line 508, is there any editor that takes me to line 508? I am just using WordPad to edit..

Thanks

K_2 · #53 09-27-2002, 12:51 AM

Nevermind, went and found UltraEdit. Line 508 has this in it..

?>

thats it. SO I deleted it, and still said the same thing.. Now, get this, I cant getmy forum back to where it was before, lmao! When I try to click on reply to a thread, it errors.. Thank God I have only 43 members.

:banana:

I dunno why there is problem on my side too? I got no error msgs, but the reply box didn't show up on the forum :cry:

Is there anyway that u can take a look @ my files? or something that u can check?

TECK · #55 09-27-2002, 04:13 AM

Guys, you dont understand one thing. A hack cannot be installed just like that... "Ahh well it doesn't matter if I dont read every single info or explanation included on install readme file"...

I see all the time people who complain that the hack is no good or there are problems and come asking here why it's not working...
Let me give you one advice:
PLEASE READ ONE LINE AT THE TIME EVERY SINGLE NOTE OR EXPLANATION.

Then you will see how easy it is to install a hack, even a HUGE one.
DO NOT RUSH IT. One little bracket missed can screw everything.
Take your time. Read carefully and make sure you understand perfectly everything BEFORE you proceed with any modifications in the file. Then if something is unclear, you ask here your question and I will answer, so you can go to the next step.

Comming up with questions like "it doesnt show up??" or "is not working??" makes me turn my back and never answer.
Study the hack, ask pertinent questions and I guarantee you, you will be a happy hacker.
You will understand better how the code works and you will not make any mistakes.

An example of pertinent question should be like this:
point 2 in functions.php modification
[high]I dont understand why the iif() function include only a value.
Also, where is located $post[icon] variable in the template?[/high]

So one more time, please ask pertinent questions.
Thank you and all the best.

Error on 507. 507: ?>

N9ne · #57 09-29-2002, 07:10 PM

I followed the exact instructions and it works flawlessly on 2.2.8, so no one should have ANY problems

TECK · #58 09-29-2002, 07:12 PM

thank you Tha_Rock. the hack works. i simply hate it when people are in a rush installing it fast.
that's how you make mistakes. especially on a large one like this.

LOD-squa · #59 09-29-2002, 07:13 PM
