To all users of my mods and themes. I am happy that you have chosen my work to add to your site.
I now have a support ticket system for support of my mods and themes. It is located at:

http://www.burkeknight.com/index.php?action=helpdesk

You have to be registered at my site, to use the support system.
There are 3 departments in the system as of now:

SMF 2.0.x Mod Support
SMF 2.0.x Theme Support
Web Site Templates Support

I would prefer to handle all support for my mods and themes, including any BK-SMF and BK Modding mods and themes there, as I can do that more efficiently. But, I will, of course, still monitor the support topics, here, as well.
This will make things easier for me and the users of my mods and themes, as most of my updates and changes are put on my main site, first.

Thank you, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for making this mod. I have installed it and it's working.     

A couple of things I notice is that when the board is a child board and you click the board it does not open in a new window. Also if you click on the board's icon the link does not open in a new window.

There is a discussion of the icon problem here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=495322.msg3473628#msg3473628

Maybe you could update the mod to take care of these two problems?

Thanks again.

Nice mod.

I added a change so redirect child boards that are listed as a link in the BoardIndex under "Child Boards: ..." also open in new window/tab.  You may want to add that to your mod too.

$child['link'] = '<a href="' . $child['href'] . '" title="' . comma_format($child['posts']) . ' ' . $txt['redirects'] . '">' . $child['name'] . '</a>';

TO

$child['link'] = '<a href="' . $child['href'] . '" title="' . comma_format($child['posts']) . ' ' . $txt['redirects'] . '" target="_blank">' . $child['name'] . '</a>';

Also if you click on the board's icon the link does not open in a new window.

Find & Replace in BoardIndex.template.php and in MessageIndex.template.php

Code (Find) Select Expand


<td class="icon windowbg"', !empty($board['children']) ? ' rowspan="2"' : '', '>
<a href="', ($board['is_redirect'] || $context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '">';

<a href="', ($board['is_redirect'] || $context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '"', $board['is_redirect'] ? ' target="_blank"' : '', '>';

Thanks guys.

I'll try to update the mod in a couple days.
Right now, I'm a bit laid up with a bad arm.
So trying to take it easy for a couple of days, until the sprain heals.

But good catches, and ones I will implement to the mod.

Thanks this will help me retain new potential members
