I'm still having a problem with one of the template changes:

Can't find

<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->

in navbar


I've searched and can't find it there, i guess another mod may have changed it, like the mood mod, or number of new threads... does anyone have advice on this?

Plus the info on uploading that file as the other memmebrs have mentioned above was sketchy... can anyone clear this up?

Tanks

Look for a block of code similar to this - It should be near the bottom of the navbar template

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="pagenav_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">$vbphrase[go_to_page]</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
			<form action="$vboptions[forumhome].php" method="get" onsubmit="return this.gotopage()" id="pagenav_form">
				<input type="text" class="bginput" id="pagenav_itxt" style="font-size:11px" size="4" />
				<input type="button" class="button" id="pagenav_ibtn" value="$vbphrase[go]" />
			</form>
			</td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</div>

Put the code after it.

There isnt another file for that. I think he uses his html install page for all his mods, and some of them require the addition of a custom php page to be uploaded to your server.....for this hack you can just ignore it

Peace

thanks myth...

turned out my navbar template didnt have that block of code, but i saw that it did originally exist in the default template, so I pasted it back in... fingers crossed it doesn't affect my other mods.

Thanks again

Awesome mod.

But I think this mod have little bug.
I get database error when I didn't input username and password and click 'Link Account' button.

Database Error

Please try the following:

* Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
* Open the ****.net home page, then try to open another page.
* Click the Back button to try another link.

I think this mod have not standard error page like this.
'You didn't input username or password!'

Please... Anybody who can fix?
Thanks.

Seems to work on all pages then

Can someone explain what Slave is talking about. I have vBGallery installed and am considering installing vBlog.

Thanks.
