What exactly needs to be replaced in the newest 3.2 version to get this to work properly? All items in this post have been edited as it states, except the $relative_url; - it does not exist in the newest functions_content file. I guess I should ask is this code change still valid for the 3.2 board?

No longer works on 3.2 there is other ext's out now that do the same but work.

[K3JAE]
