The download works for me also. Nice hack Bookie I will try it out soon.

Please make it support XHTML in the next version.

ie.

or

=>
NOWRAP => nowrap="nowrap"
=>
=>
...

I checked out V00D00's site, pretty slick hack. I think I am going to add this one when I upgrade.

Alright, I think I got everything XHTML compatible in there..

Be sure to download the XHTML version only if you have XHTML Templates installed!

sweeeeeet. works great. easy install!!

Hmm... Bookie, AFAIK td background isn't XHTMLed

You'll have a hard time converting it to XHTML

Yo VOODOO. What did you do to turn your text links My Profile, Register, etc into Image Links?

^^^^

tha link isnt working! please fix this asap...

AH! Totally forgot about the XHTML, sorry bout that. Post updated with xhtml instructions.

Good one... just an fyi, 6.2 will be xhtml compliant... it'll be good for us to learn now

I can't get to the non xhtml link for this download?!? Can you look at this, or let me know some other place to get this from?

Thanks

Sorry, was on an old server. Link should work now.

anybody Multihack this?

do anyone help me to put backgrounds in other tables ???
if there is someone that can help me please get my ICQ 85796640
thx very much

ps. sorry by bad english

There are too many variations of where this can be used. I added it to a ton of files in a ton of places, but I'm lazy and never document as I hack on the fly. You're best bet is to look for the "TD" tags where you want the gradient bar to showup and add the background="blah blah...."

is some one can help me to plz??

anyone make this a MHK?

*edit*

nevermind, figured it out

*edit*

emphasis on *BUMP*

Can someone port it for 6.2

I tired it on 6.2 only to relaize that it needs almost a total rewrite lmao

kinda sad but thats the price we pay for better web browsing? O.o

You can implement the gradients without the hack if you like. The hack adding CP control is really a minor thing. The placement of the gradients in the hack fall far short of a lot of places they can be used. Bookie did a fantastic job of building this hack, but it is basically a starting point. Check out the boards in my sig and you'll see how far it can really go.

tag for when i'm ready to install this

ok, for the public_new_reply_form.pl, you said to look for:

$vars_wordlets{instant_graemlins}

$vars_wordlets{instant_ubbcode}

and replace with:

$vars_wordlets{instant_graemlins}

$vars_wordlets{instant_ubbcode}

i'm running UBB 6.1.0.3 and i have pretty much none of the code in my file that you asked to look for right there. any ideas? i would really like help because nobody seems to be having any problems with this hack.

thanks. -dustin

Could someone either re-write this for UBB 2x? I really do need this hack.

Any ideas on 6.3?
