Sorry to continue being off-topic, but I tried doing a 1.32 update to 1.337 with MyNetwork installed and active but I didn't get any (visible) errors.  I also tried installing the plugins in different orders in case that was a cause but couldn't get anything.
Didn't manage to check the first post thing with the post rep mod, though I did see this in there:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6

// Do we have xThreads installed? $plugin_cache = $mybb->cache->read("plugins"); if(in_array("xthreads", $plugin_cache['active'])) { $GLOBALS['first_post'] = str_replace($search_array, $replace_array, $GLOBALS['first_post']); }

Supposedly, this is a workaround I guess?

Hi Zinga

I was one of the first users of MyN and immediately recognised it did not play well with XThreads. I contacted Tomm and he modified my MyNetwork installation for me. I have not changed the modifications he made for me, or changed the files generally.

The biggest issue is templates (especially the first posts). I found that it saved me a lot of bewildered button pressing to just deactivate MYN, install any Xthreads updates and reactivate. Maybe its just superstition now, but I deactivate MyN, update Xthreads, activate MyN.

The first posts templates is a difficult one; first posts etc work well in Xthreads (of course) but I have not managed to get the plug in to work as I wanted - (thats custom Post Rep). I wanted it ONLY on first posts, and only on those forums where I had XThreads installed - to use it as a like/thanks button basically as it also works for guests. I never really managed to get it working and I had other priorities - so I kind of abandoned it.

Hi RateU, just wondering how you did the Featured Links on your demo site. Did you add the links in manually?

[RateU]

Do you mean the "Featured Links" in index of the demo forum?
If so, I use plugin for that. It will displaying all selected links in forum index. Similar to the newsbar or the displaying selected thread in index/portal.
But I think we can do that with template edit. Just use the URL "scheme" to get the thumbnail link automatically.

What exactly are the problems with MyNetwork?  I might try out the post rep thing.

Hi Zinga, I put a bit of effort into making this work, and I found that all you have to do is add {$post['posttags']} into the postbit_first and postbit templates to get it to show up. This is for custom post rep.

I have not tried the other one yet.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I would like something like this:
Once the user submit the link it would appear for one of the admins to approve it before the thread is visible.
Is this possible?

I think you can do that by checking the Yes, moderate new threads checkbox under Moderation Options in Edit Forum page.

OK, I was trying to add new image links for NEW THREAD but I ran into a snag...if I change xtld_forumdisplay_threadlist to show this:

Code:

<div class="float_right"><a href="http://www.7173mustangs.com/newthread.php?fid=43"><img src="http://www.7173mustangs.com/images/addlink.png"></a> </div>

---

Then all the new threads go into one category since I had to select one of the link directory categories (fid=43).  How can I do this to make it work properly?

It is "better" I think if you create a new template in global template:
xtld_forumdisplay_newthread:

HTML Code

<a href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}"><img src="your_image_path/addlink.png" alt="{$lang->post_thread}" title="{$lang->post_thread}" /></a>

---

Or, you can put the code above directly in xtld_forumdisplay_threadlist.

BTW, may I put your Link Directory as one of the Live Demo in example application post, RocketFoot?
