Hi there,

The .zip file is updated, you got the development release.
Please download the .zip file again and re-apply the changes :) Sorry tigsman :)

Hmm, did the code change between a mod for this in Gamma and a mod for this in RC2?

thank you :D

The addon 'links-category' is released here (http://www.vBulletin-Fans.com/showthread.php?t=1748)

Enjoy

is ther a demo i can see, cause i cant view attachment right now :(

It looks like the style we have.

The categories are now seperated from eachother. No more sticky together.

Make a few productive posts, and you are able to download attachments.

can i Use this Add On without the boxhack??

I don´t use the Box Hack, but i like thes Link Hack :)

Yes you can.

But some instructions might confuse you and you have to understand what to modify instead of live with the restriction it brings. (layout wise)

Since I released it as an addon, I kind of can't provide support on situations where it is trying to be implemented into the templates for which it isn't coded for.

I can try, but I won't promise :)

I installed this mod, but the tables aren't the same width for the different forums. Any ideas?

Screenshot attached.

Find this in "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post"

<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>
<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators]&nbsp;</div></td>

Change it to look like this.

<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap" width="240">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>
<td class="alt1" width="55">$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td class="alt2" width="55">$forum[replycount]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="alt1" width="100"><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators]&nbsp;</div></td>


That should fix your problem.

That worked. Thank you very much!!

No worries mate.

No worries mate.


and I won't hold it against ya for being a fordguy. lol

Weird, this should have been fixed by default in rc2 :) Worked on several sites.

The only width you need to set is to the last post cell though, small change :)

If more users report this back, I will update the .zip with new instructions.

Yeah it worked on local test site without the addition. It required the addition for a friends site I am building as a favor. I figured I would toss in the other values for good measure. I know he will mess around with it.

Ehh I just go where the money is at for me. :P Ford is one of my clients now. BTW: PM (if you want) where in Texas you are at? I myself am in DFW.

Will try this hack this evening. Hope this enables the possibility to add a kind of an extra bottom.

Hallo,

my english isn´t good, cause I´m to old and I never learned it.

So I have a question:

Could someone translate it for me to german (the install: How to make it?)

Thanks for help me!

Lightmaster-AH

Hi there, NO I am sorry.
Nobody has permission to translate this hack.

None of my work can be translated to any other language. Because nobody has the permission to distribute the files.

@floris

Hy there! Very good! is there a chance that i can translate your description för the german vB-Users with your permission?

Greetings M@rkus

If I want to release it in German, I will release it on the vbulletin-germany.com web site.
Good chance this won't happen.

Learn english :)
