Hi,

I get an step-fault on step 7. Search string could not
be found.

I compare the search string with the part in my boardindex.pl:
(first lines = searchstring, second lines from my boardindex.pl)

		$lastpostlink    = qq~$boardindex_txt{'236'} <b><a href="$scripturl?num=$lspostid/$lsreply#$lsreply"><b>$lssub</b></a></b>~;
		$lastpostlink    = qq~$boardindex_txt{'236'} <b><a href="$scripturl?num=$lspostid/$lsreply#$lsreply"><b>$lssub</b></a></b>~;

		$recentpostslink = qq~$boardindex_txt{'791'} <a href="$scripturl?action=recent;display=10">$boardindex_txt{'792'}</a> $boardindex_txt{'793'}~;
		$recentpostslink = qq~$boardindex_txt{'791'} <a href="$scripturl?action=recent;display=25">$boardindex_txt{'792'}</a> $boardindex_txt{'793'}~;

		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostlink(}|>)/$lastpostlink/g;
		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostlink(}|>)/$lastpostlink/g;

		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb recentposts(}|>)/$recentpostslink/g;
		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb recentposts(}|>)/$recentpostslink/g;

		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostdate(}|>)/$tmlsdatetime/g;
		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostdate(}|>)/$tmlsdatetime/g;

	} else {
	} else {

		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostlink(}|>)//g;
		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostlink(}|>)//g;

		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb recentposts(}|>)//g;
		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb recentposts(}|>)//g;

		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostdate(}|>)//g;
		$boardindex_template =~ s/({|<)yabb lastpostdate(}|>)//g;

	}
	}
 

Because I can't see a difference, I change the search-string
with the code of my BoardIndex.pl
After this, it runs.

Installed with little Problems, runs well!

(Don't have problem like cjs12505, post #2)

Thank You, ThM!!

Re-installed.  This time manually uploaded files 1 by 1.

Mod is good.  Working fine - thanks very much for the mod and response... appreciated.

Original upload I used Core Ftp and just tagged all folders to upload and initiated a overwrite if more recent function - obviously something decided not to overwrite...  Manual sorted it...

Cheers,
Kind Regards

Hi ThM.I would like to change the background from white to blue and change the text to red so it blends  in with my new template colors..how would i do this..Thanks

Thank you,That did the trick 

The drop down box in the info center overlaps with the PM info on low rez screens or when window resized to a small width.

Maybe I will just reduce the length of the drop down option texts.

All recent posts
last 5 recent posts
last 10 recent posts


etc.....

Its very possible that its because I have the shoutbox mod installed but still the information above the drop down box is wrapping correctly. I think the text is a little too long so I will shorten the drop down text a bit anyways for myself.  If others do not have issues then just leave it as it is.


Great mod ThM
