Open Anouncement?

[Ghost Shadow]

Ohh no buddy, just when I thought It was safe to go back into the water, now I see sharks all around me again.

I thought it was just a matter of changing a word or two in the "if" statement, and it would appear on forumdisplay page.

I'll tackle your sugestion in a few hours.

After I do as you recommended, do I still "copy the html from your page source" as before and place it between the "if" statements?

Really Lynne, thanks so much for your help. This forum means the world to me, and I want it close to perfect when it goes live.

You can do it with just the template. It's just cleaner the other way. If you want to do it with the template then do what I posted here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....8&postcount=24 only do it to the FORUMDISPLAY template. (Put it right after $navbar like on there if that's where you want it).

At this point I just want the simplest road as possible, later I can play around, learn and fine tune things.

I did as you suggested, simple route, copied the "if" statement from SHOWTHREAD (where it was working perfectly) and posted it in FORUMDISPLAY, below $navbar.

Nothing shows up.

Do i need to change anything here? <if condition="$thread[forumid]=='2'">

In the post above yours, I said to use the condition posted in post 24 or this thread where I use $forum[forumid], not $thread[forumid]. You are not *in* a thread, therefore you do not have the variable $thread available to use.

After I post last post I made that change:

<if condition="$forum[forumid]=='2'">

Does not work? id# should be the same, right?

$navbar

Did you try it as you originally had it with Testing 2 showing up? What was the result with that?

Use $foruminfo[forumid] or $forumid instead of $forum[forumid]

[Ghost Shadow]
