Help with mod

[Ipuck]

Hello

I'm trying to do a mod that replaced the "New Posts" link with "Posts and Threads".

When the link is press, a menu comes down showing 4 other links: New Posts, Today Post, New Threads, Unanswered Threads.

It works manually, but I wanted to share with others here and I wanted to make it a product.

If I upload the product to my site, it loads the template, add the menu to the page, but I cant make automatically replaced the "New Posts" link with "Posts and Threads".

I believe the problem is on the plugin, but I can't find it. I have tried 100 different ways and I can't make it work.

Here is the code:

PHP Code:

One big problem that I see is in your array creation.

$repl =array( 
    array(

You are making a 2 dimensional array. This is not necessary. Just take one of those out, and be sure to take out the matching parenthesis.

Next, you are searching for escaped quotes...

'<td class=\"vbmenu_control\">...

The only reason for escaping the quote symbol is if you START/END the string with a quote. You start the string with an apostrophe (see the blue ' at the beginning?).


So what you should do is either change the first/last apostrophe to a quote (") or get rid of all of the backslash escapes before the " in what you're looking for.

Thank you very much!

I'll try that.
