Whats missin in the lite version as i hate installing lite esp if im considering the premium.

[Gio~Logist]

At the moment, the premium version of ProvB's homepage is ProvB Index
http://www.provb.org/vb_products.php?&vb_products=moreinfo&productid=12

This is a bit different from the Blog-Like Homepage. A premium Blog-Like homepage may be coming soon, as more feature requests/enhancements are made.

[lasto]

The demo link above just takes me to your board.

Thanks for sharing

[Brandon Sheley]

Nice hack!
Thanks for sharing :)

[Nadeemjp]

is it a replacement for vbadvanced CMPS? or we can use both in connection?

[elmati]

i like pro version with modules :)

[SKULL1985]

Is there a full feature link i can read what it dos ect please?

[Ohiosweetheart]

It doesn't really look much different than the 2-column vBa cmps.
Nice mod tho.

[Ohiosweetheart]

i think the difference is that the system here is using 2 queries instead of 35 to generate the homepage... and the page is less clustered with pointless blocks...True. My only misgiving is that I don't see an option for 3 columns, only 2.

If 3 columns is an option, I would probably try it.

Hello :)

It's possible to rename "blhome.php" in "index.php" ?

[Gio~Logist]

Thanks for the clarification Nex. Anyway, the product has already begun the upgrade process and you can see the updates live on the website. Enough talk about that.

Features Coming For Blog-Like Homepage:
Load categories right on Homepage ;)

Also, for those of you who mistake "issues" with "suggestions", here's a bit of clarification just so that this miscommunication doesn't happen again.
The need for a new feature is not an "issue", it is a "suggestion".

And if you take a look at the response time, you'll see that suggestions are usually implemented immediately if we agree ;)

[rob01]

so.. do the blog website work outside the forum folder?

[tehPARADOX]

actually you are not allowed to discuss external resources here... so even if you list the disapointments you have, it's not related to the release of this basic version.

Don't be a hypocrite.

the pro version seems to have that stuff, 3 columns etc: http://www.provb.org/products/demo/provb_index_options.php

[Gio~Logist]

Don't be a hypocrite.

He was replying to a member's post when he first mentioned it, the same way he had replied to you. So no, he's not being a hypocrite.

The update was made instantly and your ticket was handled. Please use the website from this point on.

so.. do the blog website work outside the forum folder?

Not currently. Looking to update the Blog-Like Homepage hopefully by Monday ;)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Cleaned thread.

Please do not discuss the paid pro version on vB.org.

[rob01]

[Gio~Logist]

[xMoDxx]

[rob01]

[Madlike]

Ty, Installed

[Omega Prime]

Just curious, but can this be used in place of the actual forum index? I currently use joomla as the main site, but the forum look is plain in comparison. Thanks in advance!

[emtee]

Looks cool, but it doesn't parse the smilies in feature posts. How to parse the smilies in feature posts?

[thedudleys]

its installed on a forum, but im getting a problem where it does forumname () and doesn't show the amount of posts like on the demo. am i missing something. also to add in its doing this on all the forum and 1 forum has 4 posts and its still not showing.

[Toshifira]

Nice, i lof u xD, Thanks for this xd..!!

[EagleNick]

Is it possible to use this as the homepage in the root directory, if the forums are in the /forum directory?

In other words, a user goes to my-site.com/ and lands on this blog-like homepage. But if they go to my-site.com/forum, they are on the forum. Is this possible?

[Evans Performan]

anyone know if i can get rid of the sidebar all together? i just want the posts without anything on the sides.

[nando99]

getting a white page blank page on the blog home page...
