It simply allows you to add the text that appears when you hover over the image or if the image is not displayed.

If you don't want the text, don't enter it in the option.

Glad you like it

Not currently. I could "eval" the option field, but I'm not crazy about doing that.

Sorky, I'm still working on my new site. It's not open yet. I upgraded to 1.7.1 without any problems.

I did load another mod which seems to be in conflict with "Sorky Sub Forum List Control"
The mod is "Forum Minimum Age Restriction"

When this mod is enabled the subforums on forumhome are not collapsible. I diabled it and then they were collapsible again.

I posted a message to IdanB about the conflict too. Any way you can take a look to see if these two mods could be made to work together?

Thnx, Kev

It certainly stops the show/hide and quite a lot more!!!

His mod will probably conflict with quite a few others as he makes a copy of the templates and then clears them before my Mod has a chance to dynamically modify them. Its a bit hard to modify something that isn't there

The best fix is I believe to make his Mod copy and clear the the templates after we have a chance to modify them Just make the following change...
Plugins & Products
Plugin Manager
Product : Forum Minimum Age / Datastore cache templates
  • Hook Location = parse_templates
  • Execution Order = 9
PS: For some reason I seemed to have to refresh my browser once or twice to get it to kick in.
