When you get an error, like blah blah in Line 385...

How do you find that line???

if you get an error in the editor, i copy the code from the template im working on and paste it into an editor that shows line numbers..... then i find the line.
If you get an error on a page, then you need to right click, view source, and copy that source into said editor..... then when you find the line number and the piece of code with the error, you need to know which template it came from so you can go to that template and edit the error.

vB puts its pages together from many templates, so an error on line 900 of page source, will not be line 900 in a template.

Also if you dont know which template the error is in, you can copy the chunk of code from the page source, and in your ACP do a search in the templates for that chunk.

ahh... figured most of that out the hard way!! LOL

Didn't think about searching in the ACP though. Nice trick.

Any good cheap/free editors out there that have line numbers?


*** edit - how rude of me... cheers for the info. ***

you don't even need linenumbers:

copy it to notepad, press ctrl+g (go to) and then enter the linenumber, the line where the cursor moves to is the line you normally need

ahh.. Cool.

Cheers.

wtf ..... wow i wish i knew that before lol

html-kit is a good fre editor.... handles php as well.

go to is greyed out for me,.

that's because you forgot to pay your microsoft tax ;)

Cheers! I'll have to check that out.
