Compact Headers Light was a quick and painless hack that I threw out there for lazy people. It's made to change the three main views. Now that I'm allowed to distribute the actual template files, it is my reasoning that the lazy people who were too lazy to hack the whole thing themselves and felt they needed the Light version, can now be even more lazy by not hacking *anything*. As such, I'm not really supporting the Light version anymore. Which is why I closed the thread.

The reason the Light version doesn't change public_common is because the public_common change by itself is incomplete. If you hack public_common, you MUST hack all the rest of the templates, otherwise table tags won't get closed and the whole page will look screwed up.

Skorpion.. please help.. how do i customize the hack for Calendar?

I'm sorry, but I've decided that due to time restraints and a general disinterest, I will not be doing any conversion for any other mods. If I help you, I'll have to help every other joe schmoe that asks about every single other mod out there, so I just don't do it period. The ONLY exceptions to this will be on mods that I've already converted for my own board, where i can just copy/paste my already-done hacking. And as you can see, my board right now is pretty hack-free, so you can see where that avenue is going... :rolleyes:

If you want the CH style in any other mods, you'll have to do it yourself. It probably isn't really that hard if you know HTML and the way UBB variables work.

OK i did it, if any one esle needs here it is!! I Took Skorpions advice it it turn out alright,...thanks Skorpion!!

I'd like to use this, along with many of the other hacks/templates I've seen, but many of them have been dealing with .pl files, which I don't have. All my UBB files are .cgi, how can I do this with those files?

go into the ubb folder, then into templetes, those are your .pl files. good luck

I need help getting in.. I don't understand how to find the usr & pwd.




For the user name I'm putting in the 2nd to last word but since it has not worked, I put in the last word before the number.. thinking maybe you incuded the number as a word.

for the password I tryed the last word in the sentence and also the last word before the comma, and even the last word of the pharagrh, and still i have no luck getting in. If someone could help me in what I'm doing wrong/finding wrong.. please say so..

The content of the Members Area has changed since they redid everything last Friday. Thus, the stuff I'm having you find is no longer there. I will be fixing this shortly.

ok, thank you. Can't wait to add this

Does anyone know if this hack is compatible with version 6.1.0.2 ?

straight from the creators fingers:

Manik - that was referring to the Compact Headers 2.0 Beta (aka CH2). To my knowledge, v1.5 will not work on any 6.1 version - it was designed for 6.0x only. CH2 was specifically rewritten for use with 6.1, though it's a little outdated now.

For a version that (in theory) works with 6.1, click here .
