vBindex v3.0.0 RC5

[notorious]

Hello, stupid question here but have to ask it anyway.

I just purchased vBulletin and am getting it all set up before converting my phpBB forum.

I want to use vBindex as I am presently using Smartor's EX Portal with phpBB.

What is the best thing to do. get the new vb forum completely set up the way I want it with the color scheme (skin) I intend to use etc and then install vBindex or should I install it first.

Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.

i would install your skins first then install vbindex makes it alot easier to install

Has anyone figured out how to display attachments in the news post?

Shoutbox fix, only apllies if you have people in gloal ignore/user ignore list.

Find in vbindex.php (arounf line 970)



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Replace with:



Code:
---------------

I tried this and it didn't work. I still get this error when clicking on the shoutbox:
"Unknown table 'shoutbox' in where clause"

I do have someone in the global ignore list (tachy goes to coventry) and I did not get this error before when that list was empty. Anyone got a fix?

[marc_t]

Oh damn.. this thread is growing and growing.. Wouldn't it be nice to have a summary of often asked things like "How do I make vbindex.php my index Site?" and sort of this? As you can see at this posts no one is taking care of all that 134 sites of postings ;)

Or is this summary already existing and I didn't get it? :p

Furthermore a list of all additions made by other ppl, as custom block mods from interest (e.g. bookshop out of threads in a special forum etc.) would be great? Also already existing and I didn't see it? ;)

Cheers... .. .

[EricR]

Actually I DID search this entire thread for a solution. Hence the quoted text :rolleyes: The posted "fix" is already in RC5 which is what I'm running. My shoutbox doesn't work because of the error I mentioned. If anyone has a solution (short of clearing the global ignore list) please reply. Thanks!

[ZGeek]

Has anyone been able to fix the bug with the whos online yet?

[chris2707]

Yes - but I can't remember how I did it. It was to do with users choosing to be invisible. I'll compare the hack instructions with what I now have and post here asap.

[ZGeek]

Thanks mate, that would be awesome :)

[chris2707]

OK - not much to change. See attached .txt file

Sorry - forgot to put the file to edit in the text - edit vbindex.php

[ZGeek]

chris2707 thank you!

Your fix has made me a very happy person indeed. May all clothes fall off the people you want to see naked. :)

[flstreetscene]

Ok, my members can not login through the front page;

http://www.floridastreetscene.com/vbindex.php

When the username / pass is entered they are taken to this page;

How can I fix this??

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm receiveing this message in my error logs.

File does not exist: /home/ataforum/public_html/http://www.myurl.com/cron.php.

The cron file is located where it is supposed to be but for some reason the url is being added after /public html/ instead of just the cron.php. I read some previous posts and they said it was related to VBindex and the way it calls the $cronimage. I have not modified the copyright in any way. Could someone please shed some light on this situation. I have read about 50 of the pages in this thread but no luck. Thanks in advance.

Hi

Please could someone confirm if this works with VB3.0.3 please?

I have edited admincp/index.php, but looks like my vbindex option is still not showing up in the admincp panel. So it is kind of hard to get to its control panel part.

Anybody has any suggestion?

Excellent script NTLDR

I'm using your "blank page" script with vBindex to have custom content in the center block using the template vbindex_extra_insertname and it works great.

All the page URL's end with vbindex.php?page=article

I want to use this method to display tons of articles, but is it possible to implement a search engine script to pull the text from these article pages?

Here's an example page http://www.clangrounds.com/index.php?page=servers

Thanks.

Did you add it to the phrase manager? If not go into your admin cp and add the following as a new phrase:

Varname: vbindex_options
Text: vBindex Options

Is there a site with add-ons to vbindex existing? Like if you have a certain forum, where you have got reviews of books and you wanna have one of those reviews schown randomly in a custom box on the right side?

There used to be Core Forums (http://www.coreforums.net) but now that url just redirects to this thread. Apparantly this thread is now the sole point of contact for this portal script. Unfortunately the support has also disappeared as I never did get a response for my own issue. Core Forums had a few good modifications / add-ons too, so it's a shame to have lost that.

Right, I have read 40+ pages now and cant seem to find the answer to this.

I have installed this hack and everything seems fine, I still need to change path to smilies though.

The only problem is, I use a flash header which has links to forum and home. This seems to have been changed when I installed the hack. It is pointing to the wrong address on the home page.

I havent renamed the home page yet so see the link here:

http://www.mobilephonemadness.com/vbindex.php

Any idea what I need to change to fix this? Where are the variables such as $stylevar[imgdir_misc] defined?


Thanks In Advance

You have to remember you can have only one "index.php" file in one area. I have vBindex running in the same spot as VBull is.

Before you install vBindex your link to your site would be like... http://www.yoursite.org/index.php

Once vBindex is installed by default you would access the portal page via this...
http://www.yoursite.org/vbindex.php

Now what I have done for my site to make the portal the first page members see is the following...
login to admincp, vBulletin Options, scroll down the list and select Forums Home Page Options. Change the Script Name for Forum Home Page(by default its Index) So for this example we'll change it to forum.

Via your ftp change VBulletin's "index.php" to "forum.php"

Via your ftp change vBindex "vbindex.php" to "index.php"

Now when you login to your site via http://www.yoursite.org/index.php you will be taken to the portal page. To directly access the forums the link would be http://www.yoursite.org/forum.php

vBindex also adds a link to the nav bar to the forums. I hope that helps.

This is my very first post here since I'm such a newb at this I thaught I'd say thanks for the hack and a HUGE thank you to KWOPPER for these instructions.
I just last week purchased VB and installed vbindex last night, It was a bit of work till I came across this one post.
Things went as smooth as anyone would want.
One question I have though is it ok that I removed the powered by disclamer at the bottom of the vbindex page?
I have purchased the branded free licence for VB and didnt see a point in having it there.I did however keep (vBindex Copyright © MMII - MMIV Winter Systems). on the page per the posted disclaimer.
I have it setup at http://www.offroadrc.com
Any feedback would be appreciated.

[Code Monkey]

Anyone ever figure out why Firefox opens the index page out of align randomly? This was mentioned on the old core forums but never replied to I believe.

[marc_t]

Uninstalled this mod again. Forum was not running perfectly anymore. The queries took too much power with all the users we have got. Maybe I will try a own solution with precaching the topics. Out database server was not running anymore with vbindex running.

Furthermore this thread is really too complex to get help. A support site would be great, really ;)

[Code Monkey]

Well, this project is basically abandoned from the looks of it. There used to be a site, but that was shut down.

Too bad. Did anyone manage to fix the "users online"? Cos I've just taken it down now...

[urmyantichrist]

Still looking for custom blocks... Anyone know of some?

[Code Monkey]

There are a few around. I just make my own. Much easier that way.

[urmyantichrist]

I would, but I just suck at that stuff..lol

I've been looking and it seems 90% of the custom blocks I find are for vbAdvanced...

[flstreetscene]

Does anyone know why on my frontpage the background image of the title of each block is missing? like in my forums theres a 'color fade' while the ones on the front page are one color?

http://www.floridastreetscene.com/vbindex.php

Also how can I make the tables strech out as far as the nav box is? As you can see they are a bit thinner.

[7mSeni]

there is a BUG
If im Offline the Online Users dont show right nummber

[forkboy]

Ok I just installed this hack a few days ago, and the install went quite smoothly, I did get a few errors, but after a fresh re-install I fixed them.

Anyways I have a few problems that maybe you guys can resolve, hopefully LOL.

I'm not much of a coder or programmer of php, I'm basically just a user. I download install, make a few minor changes to the php, and that's about it.

My website is currently running a skin from a 3rd party designer, and it runs great on the forums, but it doesn't display properly on vBindex. As you can see here:

Forums: http://www.bhonline.net/forum/index.php?

and here's what the vBindex looks like: http://www.bhonline.net/forum/vbindex.php?

Pretty crappy eh? Well I've taken the time this morning to contact the 3rd party designer of the skin, hopefully he'll reply and be able to help me, if not I was hoping someone here might be able to dedicate some time to this project and help me out. ;)

I would like for the skin to display properly and would like for the page itself to display like the forums do in a fixed format where when you change the size of your browser to make it bigger or smaller the size of the page doesn't grow or get "squished." :p

If anyone has some time to dedicate to this or help me out, I would be VERY thankful and your time would be compensated if need be.

I do very much like this hack, and would hate to goto another Portal now, but if I can't get this skin to work, i really don't have much choice.

Thank you in advance for checking my post out! ;)

Works GREAT.
I had a few questions though:

I was wondering if there was a way I could add a "Home" to the navbar on each style. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

Also, how could I replace the "News" section with a template on another page, (Like have the original news page, then like blah.php that has everything that vbindex.php has, but without the News, just link it to another template, basically just html inside it)
Heres an example.


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

[TheEnd]

This doesnt show right for anyone but the admin...I have simply disabled users online...
Try hitting Refresh. I noticed it would say 0 users online, then I would refresh and then it would show me. I'm not clear on what your asking if thats not it.

Hi all, I want to add this (http://www.chetnet.co.uk/ntlstatus.php) to the bottom of my portal, I guess just above "All times are GMT. The time now is" would be nice, could someone let me know how I would achieve this

Alright, well I edited out some of the news strings in the index.php and called it roster.php, and same with vbioptions.php, which i copied and made it vbioptions2.php.

Umm...dunno if anyone know this or if anyone has encounter this sorta problem...but what if you have other Foriegn Language Packs Installed and it conflicts with the News Header Title in the VbIndex Options Section under Admin CP and also, it does not post the latest threads on the main vbIndex page when you create a thread in one of the Desinated News Forums. And am not sure if this has anything to do wit the Foriegn Language Packs I installed.

Can someone help me out here?

How do I do that? Also, how do I make the header image wider like on the creator of this hack's forum:

http://www.thesistersthree.com/?

[Delphy]

I noticed a problem with the shoutbox.

When you configure vbIndex, you set the number of shoutbox posts, however, when you go to view all shouts the perpage value is set to 25, and the first page only has X number of shouts on it (ie the number you configured to show in the sidebar).

This means that when you go from page 1 to 2 you skip shouts. So, in my case, I'd go from viewing 1-10 to viewing 25-50, skipping everything in between.

I fixed this, and changed it so that it uses the users posts per page setting instead. Also, when viewing All Shouts, the side bar shoutbox doesn't appear.

(sorry my ingles im Portuguese)

[suryoyena]

@jmacieieira
Your problem is easy to solve.

1. Create a new file and put the following content in:
"DirectoryIndex vbindex.php index.php"

2. Save it as "htaccess"

3. Upload it into your root

That's it.

I hope someone can help me with my problem too.

Hey NTLDR.

vBindex has been very good for us thanks. I have one thing I can't work out and was hoping you could explain what I may do to overcome it.

I added this code...


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Which parses this template...


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



The code in the template calls the vbgarage php file to display the thumbs.

The code works with one anomoly, when it runs the vbgarage.php it updates the users location to the garage and not the index. I've tried the code in a few places with no luck. This isn't a show stopper, but with your experience I was hoping you may be able to make a suggestion.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I just installed VBindex 3.0.0RC5.
Everythin work smoothly. But I got a question.
I want vbindex.php file in other directory:

for example, suppose this is my directory structure.

root -> vbindex.php (i'll rename this to index.php)
-> forum (directory) (vbiconfig.php is in this directory)
-> gallery (directory)

I changed values in "vbindex.php" line 137:
require_once('./forum/vbiconfig.php');

And I changed values in "vbiconfig.php" line 25:
define('CHDIR_PATH', 'forum/');

Everything looks fine, but One problem I could not make it working was:
images path is missed (http://URL/images/misc/menu_open.gif). It must be 'http://url/forum/images/misc/menu_open.gif'.

how could I solve this problem?

=========================================

Finally I solved the problem.
My solution was: go to admin panel -> style manager -> all style options (go) -> Image Paths -> change values to my full URL pointing to forum image directory (http://URL/forum/images/buttons, etc).

Is it the best way? Any other efficient solution you have?

[Gary King]

My index looks bad when you are logged out: http://maloria.com/

Anyone know what's wrong and what I should do to fix this?

[noppid]

Have you edited templates? Did any of the edited elements contain a conditional that checked if the user is logged in or not? If so it looks like you have a table error in the code displayed to guests.

[Gary King]

I didn't change any templates. The page looks fine for others, only not for me. Weird. Anyways, I'll leave it then :eek:

I installed it a while ago, works great. Then I just added a bunch of new styles today. VBindex only works on the Default style, what do I need to do to view index with the different styles?

[BarHopper]

^ Run the innstaller again, setting your new style as the default, and run only the styles modifcations.

Thanks, worked!

Why are some styles messed up? Actually, all of them are.

Hello,

I'm receiveing this message in my error logs.

File does not exist: /home/ataforum/public_html/http://www.myurl.com/cron.php.

The cron file is located where it is supposed to be but for some reason the url is being added after /public html/ instead of just the cron.php. I read some previous posts and they said it was related to VBindex and the way it calls the $cronimage. I have not modified the copyright in any way. Could someone please shed some light on this situation. I have read about 50 of the pages in this thread but no luck. Thanks in advance.

I too am having this problem. The cron jobs for vBulletin seem to be working.
In my error log it shows /forum/http://www.mydomain.org/forum/cron.php.

i think i've found the 'welcome box user with no avatar bug' - i thought it was working (and it was) then it wasn't...hang on i thought, after reading around here it's exactly the same problem, if a user doesn't use an avatar then the 'Default User Avatar' did'nt show...but why? - well... simple really, i turned off 'Enable News Posters Avatar' - that was the problem, turned it on again...bingo...the bug went away... i'll leave it with you mr nt loader :)

edit - actually, it kinda works... news poster avatar shows, but a user without an avatar still shows nothing, in fact it tried to show an avatar according to the userid (i store mine in a file system btw) typical url for a missing avatar is > http://www.xx.co.uk/forum/customavatars/avatar4_0.gif (which is user 4)

Hiya,

I found a bug with vbIndex and the member list/count on the front page.

When a member is either not logged on, or doesn't have permissions to see invisible users, the member list will "break" when the first invisible user is encountered.

The offending line is line 398, the break 1 line:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Commenting this line out so that it completes the rest of the loop then makes the member list and member numbers render properly.

Hope this helps,
Delphy

[bulbasnore]

It appears our original admin installed vbindex, it is unused. I looked at readme_1st and it doesn't appear to address uninstalling.

As per above, I've gone through the uninstall step, but a ton of vbindex templates remain.

We're doing a major site upgrade and I'd like to remove these vbindex associated templates. What is the best way to do this?

[plubius]

Any hope of getting this for 3.0.3?

[chris2707]

It already works fine on 3.0.3

[yoyoyoyo]

I installed vbindex to vb 3.0.3 with no problems, and then I pointed my browser to mydomain.com/forum/admincp/vbioptions.php and set all of the preferences, and hit "save" yet when I looked at my forum it looked exactly the same. I was not able to edit the index.php file from the admincp folder since I did not see the text indicated in that file, but the installation said that step was optional anyway. I selected to use the left column, with 0 custom side blocks ( I changed the number and didn't see any differences), in left box 1 I chose Shoutbox, Left box 2 I chose Latest Threads, Left Box 3 is Online USers, Left Box 4 is Poll, and the rest are unused. I did not enable the news, chose to have "latest threads" enabled, with 5 most recent showing, and subscribed icon, enabled the Poll, enabled a Random Poll, set the Poll forum ID to the Voting Booth forum I set up, enabled the Shoutbox, enabled the welcome box, did not enable the calendar, did enable who's online, and then hit save, but I see no difference in my forum at all. When I go to forum/vbindex.php I can see the vbindex boxes I set up, but no forum content. How do I get index.php and vbindex.php to merge? How do I set it up so I can actually see new content? I did make the changes indicated in the first step to the vbiconfig.php file, and reupped it to my server, but still see no changes at all to the content of index.php.

Hi All,
I have Vb3.0.3 and just installed Bindex RC5.
The install worked ok (got stuck in the images config page loop)
Tried configuring the options page and then saved my settings but this made no change at all to my vbulletin homepage.

One thing troubled me during the install. The screens that ask you to click on the "next" button prompted me to "please wait" but no further updates were displayed. I was kind of expecting to be told to proceed, but no, nothing. is this how it is meant to be?

some help on this would be much appreciated.

Cheers

ps as a footnote, I'd recommend a bit more assistance in the options page as its not quite clear where each box will be positioned (other than left or right)

I've installed RC5 on my Vb 3.0.3, install went smooth no issues but forums remain in previous state, I've changed the settings and updated anything that was to be updated, I'm no guru in either php or mysql so any help would be appreciated.

Is there a toggle on/off for vbindex ? if so where is it located.

My forums are in their infancy can be seen @ www.s-i-n.co.uk/forums

I also tried the uninstall after some frustration with the lack of feedback only to hit the following...........

Havent been here for a long time now, but i think i remember that i have seen some examples of how to make your own "page" at vbindex or something like that.

What i want to do is to publish some own custom pages with some information that i can easily link to and that uses the vBindex-look but changes the News part to my own information.

Is this possible?

1. I would like to have both vBindex and vBulletin forum to center on the page with a fixed, the same way the following site has done: http://www.99mac.se

2. I would like to know how and were in the i can add a second navigation list just like it is done at the following site: http://www.99mac.se

Can i make the changes in the administration environmen.. in the templates ... or do I have to "hack" the code of the .php files?

This has nothing to do with PHP. This is XML and HTML scripting in the templates. Just modify the templates with your HTML/XML knowledge. It took me 2 days to create my vbindex site with all the grafics for http://www.LoveTalks.de.

ok i installed everything.. everything was workin great except when you went to the homepage (http://s116946478.onlinehome.us/vb/) it would lead you to http://s116946478.onlinehome.us/vb/index.php instead of http://s116946478.onlinehome.us/vb/vbindex.php.

I think you can rename the original forumhome index.php like forum.php and tell the system that in the ACP and use index.php for the portal. I never did it so I have no details.

sidewinder, just edit the vbindex_header and add the html for the banners there.

Great hack and easy install.

One small problem (forgive me if it has been addressed elsewhere in this thread but I read the first 15 pages and didn't see it and I wasn't about to read 144 pages :tired: ) :

On the portal page, when you activate the calendar, it shows an active link on days when an event is scheduled. However, when you click on that link, it goes to the URL where you installed vbindex.php (ie: http://www.mydomain.com/calendar.core?do=getinfo&day=.....) and therefore gives a 404 page not found error.

I looked around but couldn't see where/how to fix it up. Everything else works fine (including if you click on the Month on the calendar) it is just when you click on the days with events.

Suggestions?

Some people have .php3 and some people have .php. Due to this you have to set the right option for your board. Just replace the .core in the appropriate place. That's it.

Thanks in advance! .core is a custom extension that NTLDR the coder used at www.coreforums.net (which redirects to this thread.) basically a php file only with a custom extension.

.core if i recall was found in some of the templates. SO if you do a search in the templates added by vBindex, you'll find .core in some of them, all you do is edit any instance of .core to whatever extension you are using, IE. php, php3, html, etc....

@gary, I don't have this installed anymore, but i believe the only way to turn off image tags, is to not allow them in the forum you specified as your "News" forums.

if you want the portal to become your main page you have to edit name of forums script in the admin panel, then name index.php to the name you used in the adminpanel, then rename vbindex,php to index .php

Then apply the code above in the navbar template.

How do I disable [img] tags in the shoutbox in vBIndex?

[neocorteqz]

How do I disable [img] tags in the shoutbox in vBIndex? that i don't know. Sorry.

[Cancorp]

.core is a custom extension that NTLDR the coder used at www.coreforums.net (which redirects to this thread.) basically a php file only with a custom extension.

.core if i recall was found in some of the templates. SO if you do a search in the templates added by vBindex, you'll find .core in some of them, all you do is edit any instance of .core to whatever extension you are using, IE. php, php3, html, etc....

@gary, I don't have this installed anymore, but i believe the only way to turn off image tags, is to not allow them in the forum you specified as your "News" forums.


2 template edits needed to be done to correct this:

calendar_smallmonth_day
calendar_smallmonth_header

These 2 templates are modified by the install of vbindex and they are where the "calendar.core" urls come from.

All fixed up now and loving the hack!

[T3MEDIA]

Anyone ever get the fix for the avatar problem with this? Did I miss that?

[T3MEDIA]

Can anyone else confirm this?
On other topics. I get shoutbox database errors... anyone else gets that???

Hiya,

I found a bug with vbIndex and the member list/count on the front page.

When a member is either not logged on, or doesn't have permissions to see invisible users, the member list will "break" when the first invisible user is encountered.

The offending line is line 398, the break 1 line:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Commenting this line out so that it completes the rest of the loop then makes the member list and member numbers render properly.

Hope this helps,
Delphy

[prof3ta]

I'm sure this has been covered like a zillion times in this forum, but i treid searchng and reading and the thread its just too big!
i simply want my vbindex as my home page (rename vbindex.ph to index.php) but when people click on forums i want them to go to what used to be the original index.php...
And is there a way users can go back to the main vbindex page?
:P

[Charlie Argueta]

Hi there!

I have installed the vBindex in my web site but I would like to make a small modification.

The point is that I want to restrict the shoutbox not only to the unregistred users but also one group else, but I don't know what to do or which variable to use and were in order to archive this.

I hope you can help me to make this :)

Thanks in advance

[Meltingfire]

question...

i cant use the log in, it gives me this error


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

and also i tried to do the admincp/index.php change and it gave me an error :(
I found a fix for the "POST" problem!

Im running vbIndex on "www .site.com" and my forum on "forum.site.com" and i had problems with the POST issue.

I found out that in the preg-replace they have hardcoded the "www" part and changeing it to "forum" solved it for me.

<init.php>

Before:

After:

I have the same problem. In which file must the change be carried out?

[Impulse]

I'm asking in in here as well and although it has probaly been asked several times aldready, I couldn't find an answer ;___;

I've recently installed vBindex on www.ffimpulse.com/vbindex.php? Now, when I try to log it, it lets me but on the vbindex page nothing changes, I'm still seen as a guest even though it does log me in on the forums .. it doesn't log me in on the vbindex page.

It's not the same as the above posted problem.

Help, please.

[Meltingfire]

I have the same problem. In which file must the change be carried out?
Its in includes/init.php

[Boots]

a few questions

1. which is better, this or vbcpms ?
2. is removal easy?
3. how much crap does this add to my database?
4. does it manipulate the structure of the database?
5. does it affect my ability to update my forums?

This may sound retarded. But uhh how do you edit custom blocks?

[black04gt]

i was wondering that too...

[Theory]

If you find out let me know.

I think I found out how you have to edit the template vbindex_customblock_1 then copy it over to every skin =/. Wish they had a main menu option set up like vbportal does.

[Big Kahuna]

When I upgraded from VB 3.0.1 to 3.0.6 I lost the dropdown menu for VBindex options in my admincp. I spent an hour looking for the answer here and elsewhere -- before figuring it out. No no one else has to feel my pain -- the answer is:

I installed version 3 of this in May on VB3.0.1 and never had a problem with it at www.moparstyle.com

Yesterday I upgraded to VB3.0.6 and the only thing I could find that was lost in the upgrade was the VBindex Options in the adminCP. I found the fix and posted it three posts up.

[dboogie2288]

Hello, I have been using VBindex for a few weeks now, and i have noticed this small problem regarding thread images on the actual index page. For some reason, it displays the domain twice, resulting in a bad link that looks like this: http://www.beginnerbikers.org/forum/http://www.beginnerbikers.org/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

I have triple checked all my image directories to make sure that the domain and path is correct, so I'm at a loss as to what setting I need to modify. Thanks in advance..

Is it possible to have two different instances of this script installed? I have one page that I now have set up like a portal, but for the homepage of my website, I'd like to have a blog-style news feed from the forums as well. It would run on a different template, URL, etc. Perhaps by doing a big search/replace in the code and re-installing?

Thanks.

Prodigal, you can use htaccess to set the default page for a directory. Not sure if you can make the default page from another directory, though.

flstreetscene, I was looking for that, too. Can't seem to find it? Perhaps get rid of the class that that cell has in the vbindex template.

I solved my problem.
in your vbindex.php file go to line 1158
look for:


Code:
---------------

---------------


replace with:


Code:
---------------

---------------


Now where ever you put the $header variable in your vbindex templates your style's header will show instead of vindex's. Just keep in mind that you will no longer be able to use the vbindex_header template. Which is fine by me.

If you want to use your style's footer template rather than vbindex's, go to line 1156(should be right above the place you edited for the header section)
look for:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

and replace with:

[Alfa166]

Anyone prepared to share their wisdom ???

I have installed vBindex on 3.0.6, basically the install was faultless, all went in as per instructions.

Problem is obviously due to the updates in vBulletin since 3.0.0 this hack appears not to work, has anyone managed to get it to work on 3.0.5 or 6, if so would you please note the changes you had to make, working vBindex is awesome and i know it works on 3.0.6 because it can be seen HERE (http://www.zgeek.com).

Any help would be much appreciated and i'm sure would put more than this one user out of their misery.

I have edited a file in the forums folder called 'index.php' and the vbindex options now show up in the vbulletin admin panel. however when i visit the webb addy it goes straight to my forum page. what files do i need to edit now so that when folks type in the webb addy they go to the vbindex portal first...and is there another file i need to edit in vbindex to then direct them to the forum?

im pretty sure i butchered the install but i have the control panel index for vbindex. etc..

currently running vBulletin version 3.0.6

and I have the same options in the forums, I use the vbindex.php for the home page but I want to create another one for Bikers and another one for auto news that way when someone is clicking in the autos, news and polls from the Auto forum is going to be displayed…
Is there any way that I can create multiple vbindex.php pages?
If yes how I can control them from the VBioptions?

Thanks in advance…

I just installed vbindex and I have two calendars and no shoutbox. And I have shoutbox enabled as well as the calendar. Can someone help me out here?

This is excellent, i really like it. Install was a synch, i'm curious however if it's possible to list the forums on vbindex.php. I've searched through these forums for an answer a fair bit, but was unsuccessful

Basically what i'd like is the nice welcome box, various sidebars and news on forumhome. Having the regular index.php forum display below.

Any ideas or tips?

Thanks
