I found the problem, however there seems to be an issue with flareupload right now, so here is the fix itself.

In public_forum_summary.pl, change

Code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="hideit('$cat_number' , 'visible');"><span id="shown-$cat_number">
<img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/catexpand.gif" alt="[-]" id="imgshown-$cat_number"  border="0"/></span></a>

Code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="hideit('$cat_number' , 'visible');"><span id="shown-$cat_number">
<img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/catminimize.gif" alt="[-]" id="imgshown-$cat_number"  border="0"/></span></a>

	use vars qw($ThisHTML);

mmg Junior Member Registered: 07/17/03 Posts: 6	I'm running into a slight problem with this mod. It works perfectly as long as all of my categories are maximized by default, but when I set a category to be shown as collapsed by default it won't open. Does this occur for anyone else, or did I do something wrong while installing it?

Clay Autery Junior Member Registered: 11/15/03 Posts: 11	Ian, Man, I wanted this one to work right... it flat "broke" my public-forum_summary.pl file... I'm sure it was simply something I did wrong; I probably interpreted the Find/Add After et al. instructions wrong in some place. I got a "missing closing curly brace or square bracket missing at line 667 " and a failure to compile error. I will start again from a "known-good" place later and document step by step what I do until (if) it breaks. _________________________ Clay Autery "More, Better, Faster..."

Good deal That was more of a design feature LK and I decided on. People with slow connections will have all the categories shown until the entire page loads, then they'll minimize, hence "weird page loading"

Painfool Member Registered: 08/14/00 Posts: 182	Brings up an interesting question. Is it possible to create a version that utilizes Infopops version (not actually drawing the minimized forums) with this hack (indicating posts within the control panel minimized category & +/- to open close). That possible ?

DocDoom Member Registered: 09/09/01 Posts: 64	two questions (sorry for all the questions today) 1) is there a way with this mod to make the board default with certain categories minimized? 2) this is probably a dumb question, how do you change the color of those gif files? I'm looking for blue for new messages and dark grey for old (something that more closely matches my custom message lights below) ps - great mod! _________________________ my board :^)
