Well that solved that but i think this is one major bugging mod as there is now another parse error

Quote:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/symon/public_html/forum/index.php on line 689

So where i have edited it using the codes all seem to incorrect.

I will look for a better solution as i know time is money

Code:

' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id'] . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_latest_reply'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" title="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" /></a>';

That is an incomplete line, the line(s) above are needed to make sense of it. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

In the new file you have inexplicably:

Code:

/*

$last_post .= '<a href="' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id']) . '#' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id'] . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_latest_reply'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" title="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" /></a>';

*/

' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id'] . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_latest_reply'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" title="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" /></a>';

compared to the old:

Code:

$last_post .= '<a href="' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id']) . '#' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id'] . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_latest_reply'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" title="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" /></a>';

I think you want to replace that bit which is a mess, with the old code. I can't see instructions for actually changing this bit anyway.

The more I see of this, the more I believe what I have been saying all along about the dangers of applying mods without reading and understanding what each line is actually doing.

Ok, though I can't easily relate before and after here, but what you have done is stuck an end of comment "*/" half way through a code line.

You may need

Code:

/*

$last_post .= '<a href="' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id']) . '#' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id'] . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_latest_reply'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" title="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" /></a>';

' . $forum_data[$j]['forum_last_post_id'] . '"><img src="' . $images['icon_latest_reply'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" title="' . $lang['View_latest_post'] . '" /></a>';
*/

to fully comment out the line. What the mod is all about here is removing excess links from the last_post.

I agree i have had nightmares over some mods, viper was kind enough to show me the way at first.

But here is the thing, a new person like me with reasonable brains finds a mod they like the sound of it and download it, now follow the instructions to the letter , double checking that all is what it says it should be.

OK so now i have done it all, goes back to forum to find white pages with parse errors or sql errors ,, you fix one then another appears and so on.

This is where a knowledge of PHP comes in shouts those in the know,, fair call, but when all i have to do is follow a few simple details you would expect it all to work.

It is almost like buying a bunk bed form M(made)F(for)I(idiots) and following the instructions to find it fact they are all wrong and you have the wrong parts.

Sites like www.phpbb.com should throughly test these mods before allowing them to be posted on their site, as to anyone like me there is nothing more annoying than spending the rest of the night trying to find a fix for an error in what is meant to be a working finished mod.

Rant over
