History 2003-03-26 Fixed glitch in instructions

I only converted the hack to 6.2. No functional changes since the 1.0beta version, created by gardener.
It could be moved to the Finished Modifications Forum if someone verifies, that the instructions are correct.

Thanks for the update Astaran!

Damn! You just beat me to it. I was finishing the instructions today...



Warm regards

Too bad you did some work in vain, but maybe you can check Astarans code instead to make sure the instructions are OK?

Will do Gardener

A small update on the instructions. Tried to make them as clear as possible.

Warm regards

Edit: Removed the attachment. Please see the top post

Works great! Thanks

Thx, dimopoulos!
I updated the post with your, more detailed instructions. They are clearer if you already installed other hacks.

No problem Astaran

I removed my attachment to avoid confusion.

Just applied this, seems to work great! This is a nice improvement for people who don't get rid of PMs.

Suggestion if this is taken any further: Page numbers would be nice if possible.

Moved to Finished Mods.

I don't think that this would be difficult to implement. As a matter of fact I was creating a class that would handle the page numbers appropriately on any results list. Since I developed this for a project at work (yes boss said Ok for PHP) I would need to expand it a bit more to become more generic to work with everything. If I am successfull then all aspects of listed resultsets can use this class to display the page numbers.

Anybody got the changes needed to work with pm filter 1.3

If I'm not mistaken Marty the PM Filter has the optional steps for integration with the PM Limit modification, or am I mistaken....

I think you are right.

There is a failure in the instructions:

Point 2.1 is wrong.

CHANGE THIS:
Step 2.1: Find this line (at line 10):
$ubbt_lang[$box]

And CHANGE it into this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="tdheader">
<b>$ubbt_lang[$box]</b>
</td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom" class="tdheader">
<table border="0" class="tablesurround">
<tr>
<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap">
<!-- prevoption is either previous.gif or greyprevious.gif -->
$prevstart
<img src="{$config['images']}/$prevoption" alt="{$ubbt_lang['PREV_PAGE']}" border="0" {$images['previous']} $imagestyle />
{$ubbt_lang['PREV_ICON']}
$prevstop
 
</td>
<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="{$config['phpurl']}/login.php?Cat=$Cat">
<img src="{$config['images']}/all.gif" alt="{$ubbt_lang['FORUM_IND']}" border="0" {$images['all']} $imagestyle />
{$ubbt_lang['INDEX_ICON']}
</a>
 
</td>
<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap">
<!-- nextoption is either next.gif or greynext.gif -->
$nextstart
<img src="{$config['images']}/$nextoption" alt="{$ubbt_lang['NEXT_PAGE']}" border="0" {$images['next']} $imagestyle />
{$ubbt_lang['NEXT_ICON']}
$nextstop
 
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


TO:
Step 2.1: Find this line (at line 10):
$ubbt_lang[$box]

And CHANGE it into this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="tdheader">
<b>$ubbt_lang[$box]</b>
</td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom" class="tdheader">
<table border="0" class="tablesurround">
<tr>
<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap">
<!-- prevoption is either previous.gif or greyprevious.gif -->
$prevstart
<img src="{$config['images']}/$prevoption" alt="{$ubbt_lang['PREV_PAGE']}" border="0" {$images['previous']} $imagestyle />
{$ubbt_lang['PREV_ICON']}
$prevstop
 
</td>
<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="{$config['phpurl']}/login.php?Cat=$Cat">
<img src="{$config['images']}/all.gif" alt="{$ubbt_lang['FORUM_IND']}" border="0" {$images['all']} $imagestyle />
{$ubbt_lang['INDEX_ICON']}
</a>
 
</td>
<td class="navigation" nowrap="nowrap">
<!-- nextoption is either next.gif or greynext.gif -->
$nextstart
<img src="{$config['images']}/$nextoption" alt="{$ubbt_lang['NEXT_PAGE']}" border="0" {$images['next']} $imagestyle />
{$ubbt_lang['NEXT_ICON']}
$nextstop
 
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

then it is working.
The table tag is closed three times. Does not matter if you have no menues beside your forum but I have the sidebar hack installed and then this kills the layout

Please update the documentation!

Thx, i corrected the instructions.
