charles (of course ), matt jacob, LK, and I were the ones who brought xhtml compliance to the forefront of forum software. In a year's time, most all forum software will at least take a stab at xhtml compliance as they try to catch back up to us. I can remember posts by web developers complaining about the not-so-good html output from the ubb, that's a thing of the past.

A little geeky, but a very good thing, as all templates built from now on out can rest assured that they will look as close to the same across all browsers as possible

As far as the future, we hope to have some more input in the not-too-distant future

Anybody else have problems with headers being called twice and screwing up the layout on transition pages, like the Thanks for Posting, and such, as called from public_common.pl ?

Anybody else have problems on transition pages, with the main buttons line and so forth loading twice, and messing up the entire table structure ?

on 6.3.1.1

I took the public_xxx files from the hack (http://www.ubbdev.com/db/uploads/compactheaders63.zip) and put them in the the UBB/Templates and I also put them into Templates/JCT Templates folder.

I get this error when I try to access my forum.
What do I do wrong?

Should I replace both Templates and JCT Templates files to start with?
Does anyone have a step by step HowTo for dummies?

Thank you.

I am not sure if these work with 6.3.1.1, sounds like you are where the mainbuttons were pulled from one file and put into public_common.pl They'll really need to have a full going over before I'd use them on a production site.

Allen,

it obviously works flawless here on a 6.3.1.1!
the living demo is right up above!

was it you installing it in here? if it works in here should work anywhere else, shouldnt it?

thank you,
felix

We're using something quite a bit different, tho they appear similar

I see. I thought is the same thing once you made a reference to the looks of Compact headers to this site.
Is strange how people wont help around...I saw so many 6.3.1.1 compact headers around and nobody would say a word.
Same for other hacks. I have been trying to find PM Inbox, nobody would post an active link for download even though so many people around uses it and have it. I guess help is provided in fix-things bases but not for the real downloads.
Is this normal? Excuse my ignorance, I am just a newbie, I though all of us being administrators on our end would help the other friends in the same branch.

Thank you

It's a matter of time If you are familiar with Beyond Compare and want to update this, we'll be eternally grateful

www.scootersoftware.com - we have a tutorial in our ezine under articles

No Allen I am not. Can you brief me in a few words?
I would also take the advange of talking to you and ask you a simple stupid question.

I did a lot of reading around but couldnt find any reference to, perhaps ony because its to obvious?

Question was: all hacks come in two versions- for JC Templates and no JC Templates. I know there is a folder JC Templates in the of UBB/Templates directory but what exactly are these JC Templates and how can I tell if I use them or not. I am running under 6.3.1.1 with no hacks, as plain as it comes.

I apreciate your help, thank you.

here's the article:

http://www.ubbdev.com/db/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000019

JCT are part of the v6.3 ubb as alternate template sets to choose... you can choose them to give your forum a different look. Most modifications do not have support for them (you can add it yourself if you have time). I would recommend against putting a lot of time into them unless you do not plan to update to 6.4 when it's out

I see now. I dont think I use any of those JC Templates, and yes I will upgrade therefore JC Templates are OFF for me.

I read about Beyond Compare, awsome tool!
I should buy it or I could get a copy around?

Thank you Allen.

humm I'm getting

Error including required files:
Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

all I needed to do was upload these files over the ones in template right?
