Advanced Forums?

[Kevinl]

I was reading about your Advanced Forums mod and I saw that it's per forums. Is it at all possible that it can be used per style?

Thing is I am making a whole new style for my forum and I was looking at this to start it off but I don't the rest of changing while making the style. Does that make sense? haha Or is there a better way?

Look forward to your answer

Thank you

So you want to be able to more or less work on this quietly in the back end? Your best bet is either making a test server or adding a simple plugin to disable the Advanced Forums product when viewing the other style.

Yes that is exactly what I want to do.

Yeah I know the test site would really be my best bet in the long run. Just to do everything in general haha

So I guess my next question would be how hard would it be to have a plugin written to just allow the admin to be able use the Advanced Forums product on the new style so no one else knows? <-- (read I'm not a coder haha)

Thank you

Yes, essentially a test website would be your best bet if you're not a programmer yourself. Or you can set forums with a display of 0 and work on there.

I'm trying to find a way to easily create a plugin that disables products via a conditional. So far the only solution I can find is editing includes/class_hook.php and altering the query around the following code:

        while ($plugin = $dbobject->fetch_array($plugins))
        { 

But even if i paste a code for you to alter this, it will require editing this file of course. Will look for another easy solution which only involves a product upload. Otherwise, hope these tips help.

Will keep you posted with other options and see if i find an alternative to file-editing. However, like i said... you have plenty of options here as far as working "behind the scenes".

Thank you very much

Well I have been trying to export the style I have been working on and it will not let me. I was going to start just working on it on a test site like you suggested. I guess I don't have any other choice now...

Let me know if you think of anything else. I am interested in this.

Thank you again,
