If you are running vBadvanced, add nzbgreeting and nzbgreeting2 to the Globalized Variables section of the vBA Admin CP area.


***Additional Instructions***

To change the 'Launch date' ticker on Forum Home, look in the FORUMHOME template, near the bottom. There is a start date field.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar, have a look in your php_include_start template.

To have the Forum images show up for selected forums, go into your forumhome_forumbit_level*_post templates (both level1 and level2) and look for the condtitional that reads:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(2, 3)"> 


Change these ids to the ones you want to use.

Further on in the same template is this conditional:

PHP Code:

<if condition="!in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1,3,4,8))"> 


The array contains those Usergroup ids that we do NOT want to see the Start New Thread button.

Enjoy!

*edit* fixed a bug in the navbar template that caused 'an error when attempting to log you out'. Thanks to breaume for reporting the bug.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant and CSS Compliant

Do you mean the graphical style - New Zealand Blue?

*edit* Sorry, of course you did.

Well, its basically 'Add a left column to your forums' as can be found on vb.org and vb.com in places...with a few images.

Specifically, its several hours of work and swearing at the PC.

What?

Give better examples please. Where are you gettign the error? What were you doing?

(I have just checked BOTH xmls. Both work. You are doing something wrong. Maybe importing the plugin as a style or a product or something.)
