Creating Addons

Anything in the error logs?

It's not the mod you helped with, it's a fresh mod I'm making stylevars for.

If you pm me the XML file on my site, I can look at it later today.

I will later. Does this look OK? I am wanting to make an option to choose whether links are underlined or not when hovered over. I have made the option for the mod and if selected yes, then links will be underlined. If selected no, they won't be.

if ($vbulletin->options['url_active']) {

if ($vbulletin->options['url_text_decoration']) {
  $decoration = 'underline';
}else{
  $decoration = 'none';
}
}


vB_Template::preRegister('url.css',array('decoration' => $decoration));

Then in url.css I have this:

        text-decoration: $decoration;

How do I go about adding a setting from a mod into a plugin?

I want to add an input box into my mod which an admin can enter a URL or name etc, then have the setting output the value via a plugin.

I know I can add this to a template:

{vb:raw vboptions.this_settings}

But I wondered if I can also add it into a plugin or is there a different way to do it?

I suppose I would be better off creating a template, putting my code inside it, then running a plugin to call the template to insert it inside the showthread template?

Kinda hard to say without 1, seeing your code, 2, knowing what it is you are trying to do and 3, knowing what the expected end result is desired.

Sorry, I was in the middle of making it work. I got it in the end. I am looking for your help ozzy, I will PM you my question.

Looking for a way to show all available forums so I can make my mod work on only chosen forums. Any tutorial about how to achieve this?

Is there a way to remove a chunk of code from a template using plugins? I know about the str_replace function but what about removing 20 lines from a template?

SHOWTHREAD template for example, how would I remove this:

<vb:if condition="$show['threadrating']">
                <li class="popupmenu" id="threadrating">
                    <h6><a class="popupctrl" href="javascript://">{vb:rawphrase rate_this_thread}</a></h6>
                    <div class="popupbody popuphover">
                        <form action="threadrate.php" method="post" id='showthread_threadrate_form'>
                            <ul>
                                <li id="threadrating_current"<vb:if condition="!$show['rating']">class="hidden"</vb:if> title="{vb:rawphrase thread_rating_x_votes_y_average, {vb:raw thread.votenum}, {vb:raw thread.voteavg}}"><label>
                                    <span class="rating r{vb:raw thread.rating}<vb:if condition="$thread['rating'] != 5">_{vb:stylevar right}</vb:if>">{vb:rawphrase current_rating}</span>
                                </label></li>
                                <vb:if condition="$show['ratethread']">
                                    <li><label for="r5"><span class="rating r5">

                    <script type="text/javascript">
                    <!--
                        vB_AJAX_ThreadRate_Init('showthread_threadrate_form', {vb:raw threadinfo.threadid});
                    //-->
                    </script>
                </li>
            </vb:if>

I could use a plugin to render a new showthread template with my customisation but thought there may be a way to remove it from the original template?

[ozzy47]

Why remove or hide the code, just set the $show['threadrating'] to false.

[Black Snow]

Because I want use the etiket template mod to put the options above the thread.
