We have other admins at my board, and I usually leave hacks up to them. But am trying to learn a little about this stuff my self, and don't know to much about it.
I've only tried editing very very basic things, since I didn't want to screw things up.
For example. I wanted to get rid of the |'s in between the profile, search, faq links in the header.
So to do that, I went to public_common.pl, and edited this line:
quote:
return join(" | ", @items) . "
";
} # end MainButtonOptions
To this:
quote:
[qb] return join("", @items) . "
";
} # end MainButtonOptions [/qb]
then saved the file. Uploaded the file, overwriting the previous one, and then clear the cache from the control panel. Am I missing a step here? Is there something else you need to do when modifying code? Or perhaps did I edit the wrong thing, and thats why the modfication I attempted changed some intirely different. I saved the file originally correctly, becuase I viewed the code from my ftp again to check, and the file I had indeed uploaded, was what I had changed it to.
Thanx for helping!
