  I have a problem. I installed this hack.. which I love btw.. however I'm getting a display error on in the forums area.. when I staffer/user deletes a thread the deleted information is showing up all funny. (see attachement)
  
  Anyone know how to fix this? or where to look? I know it's got something to do with table span.. etc.. I think I just need to add a cell to account for the category cell and it should be fine..

  UPDATE: I have fixed the visual problem. This is how I did it.
  
  EDIT TEMPLATE: threadbit_deleted
  
  

  Code:

  <tr>
  	<td class="alt1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread$thread[statusicon].gif" alt="" /></td>
  	<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
  		<td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
  	</if>
  <!-- Accounting for Category Hack -->
  	<if condition="$show['threadcategories'] == 2">
  		<td class="alt1Active" align="$categoryalign" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$thread['category']">$categorymarkup[0]$thread[category]$categorymarkup[1]</if></td>
  	</if>
  <!-- Accounting for Category Hack END -->
  	<td class="alt1">
  		<div>
  			<if condition="$show['viewthread']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]">$vbphrase[view]</a></span></if>		
  			$thread[typeprefix]
  			<if condition="$show['threadtitle']"><em>$thread[threadtitle]</em></if>
  		</div>
  		<div class="smallfont">
  			<if condition="$show['managethread']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]"><a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editthread&amp;t=$thread[threadid]">$vbphrase[manage]</a></span></if>
  			<if condition="$show['guestuser']">
  				$thread[postusername]
  			<else />
  				<span style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[postuserid]')">$thread[postusername]</span>
  			</if>
  		</div>
  	</td>
  	<td class="alt2" colspan="3" align="center">
  		<div class="smallfont"><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[del_userid]" 2="$thread[del_username]">$vbphrase[thread_deleted_by_x]</phrase></div>
  		<if condition="$show['deletereason']">
  			<div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[reason]: <em>$thread[del_reason]</em></div>
  		</if>
  	</td>
  </tr>

  Adding this to the template fixed my problem.

One very minor template error. Check attachment and you will see.

Thank you for discovering this, I really missed that

To fix it, open forumdisplay.php and find:

Code:

 // ### THREAD CATEGORY HACK START ###
// get categories
$threadcategories = fetch_thread_categories($foruminfo, urldecode($_REQUEST['threadcategory']), 0, $vbphrase['all_categories']);
$show['threadcategories'] = 0;
if (!empty($threadcategories) AND $foruminfo['allowcategories'])
{
if (!empty($_REQUEST['threadcategory']))
{
$sorturl .= '&threadcategory=' . urlencode($_REQUEST['threadcategory']);
}
$show['threadcategories'] = 1;
$categorymarkup = array();
$categorymarkup = explode('{1}', $vboptions['categorymarkup']);
if ($vboptions['showcategoryalign'] > 0)
{
$show['threadcategories'] = 2;
switch($vboptions['showcategoryalign'])
{
	case 1:
	 $categoryalign = 'left';
	 break;
	case 2:
	 $categoryalign = 'right';
	 break;
	case 3:
	 $categoryalign = 'center';
	 break;
	default:
	 $categoryalign = 'left';
}
}
} 
// ### THREAD CATEGORY HACK END ###

Move that bunch of code above this code:

Code:

 // get announcements

Now find (still in forumdisplay.php):

Code:

 $sorturl = "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid&daysprune=$daysprune";

And replace it with:

Code:

 $sorturl = "forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid&daysprune=$daysprune" . $sorturl;

Now edit the template forumdisplay_announcement and find:

Code:

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">5<else />4</if>">

Replace it with:

Code:

<if condition="$show['threadicons']"><if condition="$show['threadcategories'] == 2">6<else />5</if><else /><if condition="$show['threadcategories'] == 2">5<else />4</if></if>">

I will update the hack to v1.2.1 later.
