Being the mod-n00b that I am, I don't quite understand what that means.
How exactly would I do that?
Btw, please check out my other question. |

Just check how one of the existing links is done, then copy and paste, and change what needs to be changed.
In admin_home.asp, the code for the links to other pages (left pane only) starts around line# 125 and ends about line# 139:
" <UL>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_config_system.asp"">Main Forum Configuration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_config_features.asp"">Feature Configuration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine
if strAuthType = "nt" then
Response.Write " <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_config_NT_features.asp"">Feature NT Configuration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_config_members.asp"">Member Details Configuration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _

Right pane follows :

if strEmailVal = "1" then Response.Write(" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_accounts_pending.asp"">Members Pending</a></span> <font size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>(" & User_Count & ")</font></LI>" & vbNewLine)

Ok, so, just to be sure I'm fully aware of what I have to do, I'll ask you for a step-by-step guide. Let me know if I make any mistakes here.
1. First, I save the mod to my hardrive in a folder of my choice.
2. Then, where do I extract it to? Do I extract it to another folder on my hardrive, do I copy and paste that one file to my forum folder? Or, do I select "Upload using WS_FTP Upload Wizard"?
3. Now, assuming I copy it to my forum folder, do I need to make a new folder in my forum's server specifically for this mod or do I just copy and paste it in my server's hardrive without mattering where it gets pasted?
4. Now what do I do? I understand what it means to link now, but what link will I use and where will I find it?
5. And one last thing, do I copy and paste it in my forum's server directly or do I do so in my forum's bbs.zip file where all the information is available for editing?
Sorry for so many questions, but I just want to be sure I'm doing this right my first time. |

I read it all, but some of it is Greek to me.
I just want someone to sort of guide me through my first time with a simple mod. Norwegianking used a complex one with lots of possibilities and stuff, but I just want one where I can see the basics.
Plus, that still doesn't explain what link I should add to my admin page... |

lol, they're not doubts, I just like being sure. First time is always a challenge.
One more thing, the mod will work for 3.4.03 versions, right? |

Ok, I've almost completely got the hang of this. I just want to verify one little thing.
For the mod Shaggy gave, there are three ASP files. Once I extract them, do I need to upload any of them to my forum's server? The reason I ask is because admin_count.asp and admin_home.asp appear to already have the modified code in them just as an example. Would this mean that the only actual asp file I upload to my server is admin_etc?
The other two are there to show me what the code is supposed to look like and where to actually change it, correct?
And lastly, will this mod work for 3.4.03?
Basically, will any mod that works for 3.3.03 work for later Snitz versions? |

That mod is for 3.3.x. There were major changes from 3.3.x to 3.4.x, so the mod's instructions are surely outdated.
A mod is added by changing code in the forum files. That means that mods for older versions usually cannot be used, directly, with newer versions, since most files change from major version to major version of the forum software. Don't know this exact mod, but you should maybe start a new thread specifically asking whether the mod is suitable for 3.4.x. Maybe someone might have installed it and will be able to offer some guidance. |

Wow, I have to tell you. I was nervous as heck, but I did it!
I installed the mod on School of Duel V 3.4.03 and it went perfectly! No problems at all and it works like a charm!
Thanks for all your help guys! |
