What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Downloaded and tagged. This looks to be a nice 'value added' feature for vBulletin.

There is no easy way to add a link under that column, as the one you are missing is for the archive, which you probably have disabled.

• Visit your vBulletin Admin Control Panel, and on the left hand side, go into vBulletin Options.
• In the dropdown, find Search Engine Friendly Archive.
• Set the first option (Forum Archive Enabled) to "Yes", and hit the "Save" button.

To remove the Back to Top, edit the template ozzy_links_block and remove this bit of code:

        <div align="{vb:stylevar right}" style="margin-top: -20px; margin-right: 10px;">
            <li><a href="{vb:raw relpath}#top" onclick="document.location.hash=\'top\'; return false;">{vb:rawphrase ozzy_links_block_btt}</a></li>
        </div>

        </div>

Removed the "Return to Top" successfully. And the reason I have the vBulletin archive disabled is I currently have vbseo installed and running on my site. Thanks for the help and if you have any suggestions on the archive thing let me know.

You could look in the same template and find:

                    <vb:if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']">
                        <li><a href="archive/index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ozzy_links_block_archive}</a></li>  
                    </vb:if>

Remove the if conditional so it looks like this:

                        <li><a href="archive/index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ozzy_links_block_archive}</a></li>

Then change archive/index.php to something else, and change {vb:rawphrase ozzy_links_block_archive} to text such as My Link Name.

Love this mod. I've installed it on my 4.2.1 site. It appeared and worked fine until I began customizing the Important Info and Miscellaneous Links sections with new titles and urls. Now I get an error message when I turn it on as follows:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/bgobses/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4716) : eval()'d code on line 343

Any idea what that's about? The only thing I did in the Admin CP was to set up the desired links.

[ozzy47]

What was it you added in the options that caused that to happen?

[BGObsession]

I didn't change anything in the options, other than changing link titles and adding the full urls in the 'Important' and 'Misc' sections...It worked fine until I made changes. It doesn't make sense to me...

[BGObsession]

I got it working - the problem was a single link (the first 'Information' option). For some reason, it won't let me put in a link to this html page on my site:

http://www.bgobsession.com/gateway/3...ere-about.html

I don't know why it's causing that error, but that's the issue...

[BGObsession]

I've solved the mystery. It throws the error when you put an apostrophe in the link title - don't ask me why, but that's what is causing the problem.

[ozzy47]

Strange, I added that link no problem.
