If using the logo on my PC local server needs permission .. sure I'll ask for permission!!

Will this work with 1.3.1?

Will this work with 1.3.1?

am not sure .. but the code uses 'LastPostings' function in "Recent.php".. so if it is the same with 1.3.1 it should work I guess.

Logo is cool with me, it IS the new logo we'll be using...

[A.M.A.]

Hi Jeff .. glad to see you back .. hope you liked Cuba

I'm not using it in any site! It is just on my local hard driver and I like it.. that is all.

It's great, thank you for this cool mod!

[PioneeR]

It does work great with 1.3.1

One little question.. would it be easy to change the Expand button for a nice graphic (similar to other standard yabb buttons?)

let me try it first.

If you have applied the mod .. here what you should do to replace the "Expand" text to image:
1-Look in your Subs.php for:

Code Select Expand

<div id="listbutton" onClick="expandlist()">Expand</div>  replace it by:

Code Select Expand

<div id="listbutton" onClick="expandlist()"><img src="./YaBBImages/your-image.gif" alt="your text"></div>2-In the Admin CP click on "Edit Your Forum Template" and look for:

Code Select Expand

#listbutton{border:1px solid #4B4B4B; background-color:#F3F3F3; width:50px; height:12px; font: normal 11px Arial; text-align:center; cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;}  remove:

Code Select Expand

border:1px solid #4B4B4B; background-color:#F3F3F3;
of course you need to create the image first and upload it to your YaBBImages folder.

Works fine for my 1.3.1 board.. but every so often it produces an error?!!

Expected ',' when this happens the ticker doesnt display.

Not sure if it likes certain Post titles?

[PioneeR]

seems to happen when the titles of the posts contain .

 

[A.M.A.]

seems to happen when the titles of the posts contain .

 

I'll check it.

[PioneeR]

My last ten posts titles are as follows if it helps? (one or more must be causing that error?)
