Problem..see attached

Why is it suddenly showing the actual full IM (I blotted it out) and the hidden message, when it is not hidden? I was logged in also.

I attached my full MEMBERINFO template.

ok, you had your end code for the IM section in the wrong place as you have added additional info to that section.

Try the attached file instead.

A new build is in development. This will use usergroup permissions to set who can and can't view the contact info. It will also fix other known problems with this mod.

maybe a plugin?

[peterska2]

IT will be a product when it is finished. Development has been slow due to a number of personal issues, but is continuing slowly but steadily.

im haveing some trouble im running vb 3.5.1 the skype is not in the sytem yet

i get this line when i go to a profile

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/user/public_html/forum/member.php(652) : eval()'d code on line 327

[peterska2]

I recommend upgrading to 3.5.4 as there are a number of bugs that have been fixed, and additional functionality such as skype added to it.

If you are unable to upgrade to the latest version for whatever reason, the line to find, instead of the skype one, will be

<if condition="$userinfo['showyahoo']">
					<tr>
						<td>$userinfo[yahooicon]</td>
						<td><a href="#" dir="ltr" onclick="imwindow('yahoo', '$userinfo[userid]', 400, 200); return false;">$userinfo[yahoo]</a></td>
					</tr>
					</if>

If not, then I will need to redownload 3.5.1 and go through the style xml to find the correct part.

GREAT works
ya im not planning on upgradeing, as my forum as a down side, its heavy on the modded side, contless adds and changes
thanks for the fast reply and help *clicks insall*
great hack

[peterska2]

Glad it worked.

I wasn't looking forward to the prospect of having to trawl through a massive style file to find a couple of lines Now I can rest easy again.
