A few question for vBulletin - Please Help :)

[Paul T]

I'm new to vBulletin and I have a few questions & I will greatly appreatiate if anyone can answer some/all of these.

- How do I fix "Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file." - I've read tuts and I still can't figure out how.

- Some buttons are missing from my navigation bar - Today's Latest Posts and Quick Links. They're there but you don't see the writing (my forums are at http://heaven-pkz.info).

- How would I add new links to the nav bar (using vb 3.8.6)

- How do I center my forums banner?

- How do I make it so it shows when someones viewing a thread/forum. Like it would saying: Currently viewing: bla bla bla (guests+members)


That's all for now, tyvm to anyone who can help.

As to the missing words on your navbar, I would check your 'phrases' - go to the Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases, search for the phrase and see if you have an 'englsh' translation that is just a blank space... Copy the default text to the translation and see if it works. Not sure how it could happen but it would explain the symptoms.

To add links to the navbar you would edit the navbar template in Style & Templates -> Edit Templates -> Navigation templates -> navbar

Search for one of the links in the template then copy and paste the code around it (starting with <td> and ending with </td> then edit it to your liking. I assume you have some knowledge of HTML... each link is in its own <td> (table box) tag.

For your last question that is an option you turn on in vbulletin options, off hand I'm not exactly sure where but I would check 'thread display options' maybe. It is recommended that stay off if you're on a shared host because it is server intensive.

The phrases thing didn't make it show, the 'thread display options' worked, thx for that. Still awaiting other answers :) thanks.

Missing links:
You are using Bluefox so phrases are missing you should find a phrases xml file within the skins zipfile that you downloaded that needs to be installed via

Admincp >> Languages & Phrases >> Download / Upload Languages

Editing navbar:
All *fox skins navbar links can be edited within the "header" template search for:
"<!-- nav buttons bar -->" this is the begining of the navbar links section.

Banner aligning:
In "header" template find:

<td align="$stylevar[left]" valign="middle"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>


Replace with:

<td align="center" valign="middle"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
