Got the following error when I installed it

English/hotlinks.lng - Can't find required language file. Please inform the administrator about this problem.

There was no English/hotlinks.lng file in the download.

Help please.

Thanks

Question for those of you running this mod.  Is anyone experiencing a problem viewing avatar images in the private messages?  Just trying to isolate the cause.  Checking all the mods that alter InstantMessage.pl.

I installed this mod and everything went just fine.  It all seems to be working properly.  

I noticed that i was unable to add more than one hotlink?

I also cannot find the hot link that I added anywhere in my board?  

Any idea what I may have done wrong?  Where is this hot link supposed to be located at in my board?  

[dummyEdit]  Never mind.  Tongue GrinI figured it out.  [/dummyEdit]
  

Unfortunately, prior to my birth, Missouri had not outlawed inbreeding.

The hot links work similar to what you might see on wikipedia ... where certain words in an entry are hyperlinked to take you to other wikipedia entries. 

Whenever anyone uses the word or phrase you indicated in your hot link entry, it will automatically be hyperlinked.



One thing I noticed about this is that I cannot edit entries.  I can bring them up to display, but I can't change any of the information contained.  If I want to change a hot link, I have to delete it and make it from scratch.

Not true - only thing you can't change is the "Hotlink text" and that's how it's intended to be. Selecting a hotlink to be edited allows you to edit the properties for that specific "Hotlink text" - not the "Hotlink text" itself.
  

If you knock your head against a brick wall and hear a hollow sound, it's not necessarily coming from the wall.

Oh... ok.  I was trying to change the Hotlink text.  Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Has anyone tried this on 2.2.1 yet? I just upgraded my forums last week and we really miss this mod. We use a ton of acronyms, and so the hotlink feature would show the full description of the acronym (when you hover over it), and then link you to a page showing a full mechanical breakdown of the part/system described by the acronym.

well, I went into boardmod and used the editor to DELETE the action to edit the instantmessage file, saved it, then let boardmod install it, and.......

..... It appears to work in 2.2.1!

Hi,
why I didn't see your Post? We missed this Mod,
was one of the most importand Mods in our Board.

Now I installed it (after deleting Step 6 and 7, in
YaBB 2.2.2).
Thank you!!

Greetings
Mick
