Nice MOD

Häh?

I thought providing a sort of support over here is a prerequisite for the listing in the MOD DB?

Wow, I'm regretting installing this. Caused problems on my board, and THEN I discovered that this mod wasn't to be supported.

My recommendation - don't install this mod.

Well, after a lot of headaches (about 4 hours worth), I managed to get it working. But, for some reason the links don't show up on my board style.

The code in overall_header looks like this:

Code: Select all: <a href="{blog_links.URL}">{blog_links.TEXT}</a>

But the html just looks like this:

Code: Select all: <a href=""></a>

So for some reason the blog_links.URL and blog_links.TEXT don't show up. I checked on prosilver, and they show up in that style. I have made sure that all the prosilver files were copied over to the folder for my style (it's a prosilver based style), but it just doesn't want to work for some reason.

WTH !!!.. ive been using this mod for months now on my board its updating and working without any problem ever since

As I said, I got it going eventually, except for one problem.

As much as I disagree with the idea of paying for support for an open-source application, I went to the forum and paid for it. The developer gave me assistance, and managed to diagnose the problem within about 15 minutes, so if you are going to pay, it's not the worst thing.

IGNORE

Ummm...phpBB itself is still free so I don't know what you're talking about. MOD authors aren't even required to provide support for the mods they create and the same can be said about all other forum software. I don't see how the support decisions of ONE (or even a handfull) mod author affects the rest of the phpBB community :roll:

And you're not actually paying for the MOD so the "opensource" spirit of things here is still intact. You're paying for someone to help you should YOU screw something up.

I'll say it again - the support I received was worth the money. I still feel it goes against the spirit of open source, but it was worth the money, and it was only a small amount anyways. No big deal to me, though it could be to someone who is from a country where the money holds less value.
