this will add styles to a category, handy for people who use "show only categories in first page" option. the trick is pretty simple: choose a forum that have the style you wish to use in the category, then add to Ultimate.cgi

** find **

#adjust bgcolor variables

** add above that **

# mod for category style
if ($in{'category'} eq '@category@') {
require "$NonCGIPath/@forumdirectory@/forumstyles.file";
$BBTitleFontColor = '@titlefont@';
}
# end mod for category style

youll have to change these values:
@category@ = category number
@forumdirectory@ = directory of the forum you wish to use the style. ex: Forum1
@titlefont@ = color of the bb title

youll have to add a different loop for each category you want to use styles. when you change styles of the forum choosen, the category style will change as well.

Nice, thanks.

Urmm... any chance of making a hack for the categories setup page in the control panel? (For when we add lot's more categories, just to make it a bit easier)

Please Copycat, I think this is a very important hack that's needed by quite a few people on infopop's support board.

Oh and do you know what private message system hack this board is running? I haven't seen on with Private messaging and Yahoo!/AIM/ICQ (but not MSN sadly).

Also, how easy is it to add MSN to it? Or is there one with all of them?

Oh and the formating options when you post a new message/reply "Verdana 3 White" etc. What hack is that?

Cheers.

PS: What's the "mode" mean? (off, help, prompt, inline and advanced)?

That looks cool too!

gamesgodo, this hack is only for use with "show only categories in first page" option in general settings marked as "Yes". It will not change category strips backgrounds/colors. i think that would be another hack.

about the other questions, i suggest you ask this in the forum "Mod Questions", for that many people more informed than me can answer.
