forum dir www.aximforums.com/forum/

If they go to the vbhomelite and get a new pm it does not go to /forum/ to view the PM but thinks its in / and gives an error about not finding the file, since its not there.

I did find one thread that said to replace two things in the head_newpm template, but that only causes an error with IE.
Is because you uploaded your forums header without looking if there are some variables changed ($homenewpm, not $headnewpm)
Always double check everything when you edit a vbHL template. They are not the same like the forums.

3.8 released. :)

[Dean C]

This sounds awesome TECK... but will modules be included in the free version as well?

And how much will the retail version be costing?

- miSt

[TECK]

No, they will not.
Depends on how extensive the work will be. It will range between 100$ and 160$. We will see. It's still a long way until then.

Geez thats quite a lot of money for a college student hehe... What's planned for it... Reviews... downloads... links database... add a module via admin cp...?

if the path is wrong, how do i find a correct path for it ?

[TECK]

What do you have as forum path set?

any other ideas ?... if i put the old index.php file from vb, the forums work.. but not with your index.php file ?

[TECK]

The $adminpath simply replaces in each include_once() the correct path to grab each needed file. That's all it does. So if your folders are like that:
---[root < vbHL index.php and global.php here
------[testforums
---------[admin

then everything should work well.

its more like

---[root
------[testforums < vbHL index.php and global.php here
---------[admin


as its a test forum, i have everything in the testforum directory

[TECK]

That's why is not working. :)
Try this:
$adminpath = 'admin';

BTW, I hope you did not replaced the forum index.php and global.php with the vbHome ones... if you want to have everything in the same folders as the forum, make sure you rename the vbHome files not the forum ones, then call vbHome first with a .htaccess file.

I strongly recommend you to use the folders schema I posted in the previous post, just to avoid problems and headaches.
If you really really really want to have everything in the same folder, rename vbhome files to home.php and homeglobal.php, then change the reflected include_once() to point to homeglobal.php

No need to worry about location, since the vbhome global.php takes care of everything.

[CrazyJohn]

Can this do 3 columns, like vbulletin.org?

Thanks!

[TECK]

Yes. Templates editing... really easy.

[Mythril]

Do you have the upgrade files for 3.7/3.8?

[TECK]

Is listed in the first post how to upgrade to 3.8, from 3.7 or a lower version. :)

[AviationForum]

Does it look like the hack will be compatible with vB3? I'd love to use it, but I'm not going to base my site around something unless I know it will work with vB3 without major hassles and huge updates . . .

[TECK]

As I said before, the vBulletin file changes are minimal, only 2 (each with one or 3 lines of code added). The rest is handled by the vbHL global.php file. When VB3 is released, we will have a version for it also. So no need to worry about the new VB version. ;)

Since VB is totally diferent, you will have to use the same process for upgrade like you upgrade from VB2. Is up to you if you want to wait until spring time, when is due the first beta for users.

Install help Global php

I know I am missing something simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

I am getting the same errors as Supernut was, the only difference is that vbhl is installed as directed with a rootdirectory, then a forum directory.

I have tried every shorrt and long version I can come up with for the location of the admin directory. I tried the script revealed with the info.php file and used that address without sucess.

This is what my global.php currently looks like

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Enter your Admin CP path here (no slash) //////////////////////

$adminpath = '/home/thewatc/public_html/testforum/admin';

// done editing //////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

If this helps this is what the program calls the file

Editing /home/thewatc/public_html/testforumGlobal.php...

Any ideas would be appreciated

[Smoothie]

If you installed global.php and index.php in the root, and the forums are in the testforum directory, it would be testforum/admin.

[TECK]

lost myself, did you read about 10posts above or searched the thread?

[lost myself]

Yes Sir, the search and previous posts are where i got the info.php stuff and trying the long and short form of the url.

Let me know if that's the folder disposition for your vbHome.

Yes it is

Root= /testforum (global.php and index.php are here)
------------/forum
-------------------/admin

you can see what happens at http://www.thewatchdesk/com/testforum

Hmmm, is obvious it will not work. You set the wrong path.
Try $adminpath = 'forum/admin', it will work. In other words, you did not searched the thread. ;)

Search the thread, it will save you time always. All questions are always answered before, in those 3000 posts...

i'm sure its obvious to everyone but me, but this is what global.php looks like now

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Enter your Admin CP path here (no slash) //////////////////////

$adminpath = 'forum/admin';

// done editing //////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

and it still doesn't work....

[TECK]

It does if you use the right URL.
http://www.thewatchdesk.com/testforum

and not:
http://www.thewatchdesk/com/testforum

[TECK]

Hey, it was working fine, why did you change the $adminpath again??
Leave the $adminpath as:
$adminpath = 'forum/admin';

Got it now, thanks for your patience. I'll be running it on the main page by the new year, I want to play a little first.

[AviationForum]

Is there anyway I can install a test version of this hack without creating a whole new test forum?

[TECK]

Of course. Read the instructions included onto the zip file.
The script includes an uninstaller also.

[AviationForum]

The instructions tell me to edit my forum PHP files!

[TECK]

Yes, so? You can un-edit them after, the changes are minimal. :)
Try it on your test board on your pc, if you want to see, of check my site for a demo. Use tester/test as username/password.

Btw, if you install it, don't like it and run the uninstall, you will get a database error. Simply refresh, it will fix it automatically.
This is hapenning when the articles are not yet indexed. ;)

Cheers.

[AviationForum]

I don't have a test board on my PC . . . how do I go about doing that? Do I need to install PHP and mySQL on it?

Also . . . will the changes I make to the forum's PHP files be visible in the forums? I am not going to install the vBHome page in my root directory yet . . . I want to see it and play with it first. It will be part of the next release of the site (which is months away).

[TECK]

Search the Tips and Hints forum to install on your PC vBulletin.

[AviationForum]

OK . . . but my main question was: will the changes I make to the forum's PHP files be visible in the forums? I am not going to install the vBHome page in my root directory yet . . . I want to see it and play with it first. It will be part of the next release of the site (which is months away).

[Crazy Pete]

@AviationForum - It won't affect your main forum's files in any visible way. I'm doing the same as you, btw, in that I'm making a test page before I launch it live. I've had no problems with it.

[AviationForum]

Thanks. :)

[dmjof]

Hmmm, I can't get any of the text (words) to show up in on the main page in the part with the news. Everything is perfect except next to where the avatars and under the thread title it doesn't show anything except the posters avatar and then to the right of that where the text should be it is blank and nothing is there.

Or did you searched this thread?

I don't want it to be my index file just yet in root . . . I want to put it in a test directory. Can I do that without having to make any other changes?

I've looked through the ReadMe file, searched this thread, and I still can't get the article body to display. Can someone just TELL me?

[NTLDR]

The details are in the final step, I'll let TECK know that the instructions are not 100% clear for that step. If should say if you have uninstalled or have exisiting articles to show.

[TECK]

Thanks Lee, I will make it more obvious. :) My mistake.

AviationForum, if the article body does not show, simply run the article indexer in your /admin folder... it will take care of the problem. That is due because the old threads, published before you installed vbHome (lite), are not indexed by my script.
Also, make sure you hacked properly the newthread.php file. The best way to see if you modify it well is this:
Post a new thread in the news forum that you enter it in your vbHome Page options. If it shows on the front page, you are in business. ;)

Here is the error message I received via e-mail

Database error in vbHome 2.2.9:

[TECK]

As said many times in this thread, please search before you post. Also, read the readme file properly. ;)
Once you finished the install, you are supposed to set at least one option and (if needed) to run the article indexer to update your articles body, if you have news posted before you installed vbHL.

After I installed the hack, I went to my site url. The only image showing was the main logo. The rest were in boxed red X's, with the url http://www.url.com/{imageshome}/articleemail.gif. The index and global are in the root dir, the forums are in a dir called lounge.

This is my replacement value:
Code to find-{imageshome}
Code to insert-lounge/images

[TECK]

It doesnt replace the variable because is not created, probably.
Double check that step.

I've looked again at vbhome and phpportals. To be honest with you, I'm not so impressed with vbhome and perhaps it is because I'm not seeing everything so clearly. I think that phpportals provides a lot more features than does vbhome and I'm not sure what the commercial version really does for you.

phpportals has the ability to integrate a practical content management system (or close to it) and a real administrative back end that includes advertising, etc. vbhome has limited queries but that is also because it doesn't provide nearly the same kind of integration with nuke-like features. Comments?

You are correct, phpPortal does offer more features but also it loads the site with a respectable number of queries (40-70, from what users say, not certain on this since I never test it).
vbHome (lite) is a very flexible script designed for users who want to be able to design in their ways the frontpage of their site. The script is light on the server and easy hackable to suit your needs.

The retail script will have about 15 queries (actually, I'm pretty sure it will be lower) while offering the features you find in phpPortals plus many new others.

Great hack! thank you so much for all your work!

I've re-read the install file many times, searched through this gigantic 48 page post several times with no luck, and am awaiting access to the support forums.. so I'm going to post my question here.

I'm trying to use Use Specific Template Set but my template set, replacement set, and style set are all different numbers (from making duplicate sets a while ago)

My Template set is 7
My Style set is 4
My Replacement set is 5

if I set Use Specific Template Set to 7, I see the correct templates, but the images don't show up
if I set Use Specific Template Set to 5, I see the correct images but not the correct header from the template.

What can I do to fix this?

[TECK]

Either enable multiple styles, or hack the vbHL global.php and enter your values there if you want to save a query.
The best way is to enable multiple styles, this is mentioned in the readme file...

[alkatraz]

wow that was quick =)

It works when I enable multiple styles. I was only trying to use a specific style as im transitioning over from my original style/templates to my new style templates in 2 days.

When I enabled multiple styles I now receive this error on the top:
Warning: Failed opening 'vbs_counter.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home2/alkatraz/www/global.php(337) : eval()'d code on line 7

I'm trying to use Use Specific Template Set but my template set, replacement set, and style set are all different numbers (from making duplicate sets a while ago)

My Template set is 7
My Style set is 4
My Replacement set is 5

if I set Use Specific Template Set to 7, I see the correct templates, but the images don't show up
if I set Use Specific Template Set to 5, I see the correct images but not the correct header from the template.

What can I do to fix this?


Is there a way to change "Use Specific Template Set" to "Use Specific Style Set" ?

What would I change in "vbHL global.php" to allow for the values above?
I assume:
$styleid = 5;
$templatesetid = 7;
$replacementsetid = 5;

and then turn off "Enable Multiple Styles?" and keep "Use Specific Template Set" blank?

Hi,

I would like access to these forums. Thank you!

[XenGamers]

Does anyone have an idea of how to display the Latest Discussions sidebar table (last ten threads, etc) on the showthread.php page? That would be great, I'm trying to make our news stories feature a sidebar with all the recent posts found in the news forum. Thank you in advance!

Greetings....

I would very much like to use this software on our site. My fear is that our site is maybe too large for it. More or less I am also afraid to install it and not be able to back it out without issue if I need to.

Example...1015 Currently Active Users On-Line and we have over 50,000 registered members and over 1.6 million posts.

TECK...Thoughts on this? Can we chat via AIM or ICQ?

Thank you.

The script is designed to cope with a very large amount of users online. If vBulletin can handle it, so does vbHome, due to the optimized code. There are no merged queries and also the scanning is limited to precise fields. The article id's are indexed so it will speed greatly the process of displaying the information.

Please take a look at the instructions to see how easy it is to install it.
Keep in mind that there are many sites who use vbHome without a problem:
http://www.google.com/search?q=vbHome+%28lite%29&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en

The changes to vBulletin actual code are minimal (few lines only) and all can be reversed back to normal with the uninstall script included in the package.

I strongly recommend you to take your time and read (very carefully) the readme file. If you have any questions that you are unclear, feel free to ask them here.

[David Bott]

Hi...I have installed it and have a number of issues I would be happy to talk with you on. Too much to type about I am sorry to say. From telling me 10,000 new posts were made, to giving me current posts that go back a year. Things like that.

[TECK]

David, please include in your profile (at TW.com) the vbHome URL. You can hide it from users with an option.
Also, you can post here in this thread details related to your problem.

edit: check your pm's

[SoliduS_cF]

OK, just installed vb home lite and following the instructins as requested. Please can i have access to the restricted area forums. My name on teckwizards is " Majestic "

[Asso]

Hi teck, i've a question.

I'm translating in italian this great piece of script but i have a problem with plural variable. In other words i would like to manipulate the variables of "' 's ".

Where can i find $pluralcomment, time$pluralarticleview , vote$pluralvote etc.

P.S. if you need italian translation to insert in the next relase of vBHL...send me a PM :)

[TECK]

Asso, look for $pluralpm for example (vbHL index.php file) and replace in the iif() function the 's' value.
Repeat that procedure for all $plural starting variables, in index.php and global.php files.

[David Bott]

Dontom...You are not alone when it comes to weird happenings I am sorry to say. I think this is a great addition to a site, but I for one have not been able to get it to work as needed. But when I receive timeouts and even errors based on the settings I make in the admin area...it for me needs some more work. I really, really hope it can work for our very busy site, for Floren has a great idea here and I would love to make it work.

David, I want to help you, I really do. But in order to do this, please install MSN since is the only AIM I use, as I said in the PM addressed to you.

[David Bott]

Floren...thanks again for the offer of support. Very nice of you.

You see, I really do not care to install yet a 4th messaging app on my system seeing I would only use it with you. ;) I have IQC, AIM, and some Microsoft thing that came with XP. (Some .net thing.)

LOL...I have actually made my server drop to it's knees when it is just me calling the index page. (Had to do with the hardware I am running.) I have made it time out over 30 seconds with MySQL and haven even got it to give me two error messages at some point based on settings I make in the Admn area. Again, just me hitting the page.

It is my opinion that your help website should show all the fixes and help that people ask for... but it does not seem to. Like the one post I had mentioned about the person with some of the same issues I had, in that post you just refer them to opening a troble ticket. It would have helped me, and maybe others, if the solution talked about was right their and not in a private area.

A HELP FAQ of top questions and issue resolves would be great help. I only mention this in hope it can improve what you have. It truly looks like it could be a very nice addition to any Vb site...one I would love to see run for us. BTW...Some of the Admin settings just do not make much sense or are confusing as I have also seen mentioned here. But going through 160 pages. 2398 posts) is not really an good option for one to do. :)

I am still looking to make this work...but it seems to require more time, and understanding, to make happen. Time is not something I have a lot of with 30,000 unique visitors a day as you may guess. Thus when I add a hack or new program, I need to be very careful.

Great response time though...as mentioned, I am even willing to pay for support to get some quick one on one time with the man himself. :)

[Dean C]

That .net thing is the same as msn.. It should be called "Windows Messenger"

add Floren's msn to that and you'll be able to talk :p

And i'm sure that Floren will be kind enough to help you for free on a one on one basis :p

DOAH!!!! He gave me his address and I did not even look at it. He had spelled out the word DOT for the email and thus it was not found! BONK

And yes, he said he is more than happy to help with this without $. But I did offer for I do know a persons time is worth it. Esp for a one on one help session.

I hope it works out for you... Floren is one of the kindest people here :p

I got the same error messages, word for word other than paths of course, after install. What did you do to fix it?

(I currently have the hack uninstalled so I can work on other things, so it is not available to view. Let me know if I should reinstall so the error messages can be viewed.)

Also, FYI, someone else owns the forum in question, but I was the owner of the now defunct http://digitalfumes.com/tus game site, on which I had my own, still valid, copy of vbulletin.)

Thanks.

Set the proper style in your vbHome Page Options, or enable Multiple Styles, if you cannot identify the default style you use, for your board.

Was that for me?

I only have the default style, which I assume is 1. And I enabled multiple styles to see if that helps, but it didn't. Still get those little red boxes,

They point thru {imageshome} and I have set imageshome to forums/images.

What did I miss?

Getting alot of good feedback from my users on the new homepage, Thanks.

[TECK]

I already fixed your problem in the support ticket. Is because you set the wrong style.
Normally on a new board the styleid is 1. For some reason, in your board is 5, so I changed the id to 5 and it's working perfectly everything.

[lost myself]

TECK is God :laugh:

[Mystis]

Got it set up with no problems on my test board :) Nice job! You might want to document a little better how to add polls, however, it took me quite a while to figure it out.

[Baptizer]

Hello guys!!
I have a quick question(Ok, a quick stupid question..hehe). I want to install vbhome for my webpage, but not my main page. For example, my main page is www.2darkpark.com but i want to use vbhome for www.2darkpark.com/swg/. Is this possible? I want to make our 'star wars galaxies' clan page with vbhome.

Or do I have to use a subdomain, such as baptizer.2darkpark.com? Would implementing vbhome have any effect on the appearance of my forum?
Any help would be appreciated!!

EDIT: Ok, i created a subdomain swgclan.2darkpark.com. But i am getting the following error:

Warning: Failed opening './testvbulletin/admin/config.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/xxx/public_html/swgclan/global.php on line 164

Warning: Failed opening './testvbulletin/admin/db_.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/xxx/public_html/swgclan/global.php on line 171

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: db_sql_vb in /home/xxx/public_html/swgclan/global.php on line 172

in the global.php file, i set it correctly:
$adminpath = 'testvbulletin/admin';

Any ideas on any of the questions i have asked? :(

[base]

is it possible to have the welcome pannel (hello :username) and the Latest Forum Discussions in their own templates.

one of the things i like about this hack it's it's so customizable, it would be better i think, we're ALL of the side boxes in templates and and if all are on/off operational.

apart from that, this is one of the best hacks of it's type, as a vbportal user, this is so refreshing.
:laugh:

[TECK]

Baptizer: please search the thread
base: they are in their own templates

[Baptizer]

HI Teck..
i did search the thread...noticed two people had the same problem. One person you had an active conversation with, then suggested that he put the files into the wrong folder. He never wrote back after that.......also, i have my files in the correct folder.

The other person who had the problem claimed he forgot to upload a file. I verified everything three times, and it is exactly as you mentioned it in your readme.

Might it have something to do with me using a subdomain? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for trying to help!



EDIT:
interesting, now my forum seems to be down as well: http://www.2darkpark.com/testvbulletin/
any idea what might be causing both that and the vbhome page(which is http://swgclan.2darkpark.com ) to display this error?

[TECK]

What is your $adminpath line looking like?
Also, what is the URL for your official forum and your vbHome page?

[Baptizer]

Hi, here is what i have:

in the global.php file, i set it correctly:
$adminpath = 'testvbulletin/admin';

I wonder what is going on......*cries* heh I can still access the admin cpanel though.....sigh. Thanks for trying to work on this with me, it means a lot!


EDIT:
my official page is: www.2darkpark.com
my official forums are: www.2darkpark.com/vbulletin

the place i wanted to add the vbHome at is:
the page: http://swgclan.2darkpark.com
the forum i was using to set it up for testing: www.2darkpark.com/testvbulletin

[TECK]

Is because your actual test forums don't work.
Try:
$adminpath = 'vbulletin/admin';

It will work.

[Baptizer]

The test forums did work before I installed this.

Obviously, I will have to apply all the changes to the vbulletin/admin files though, correct? I wanted to avoid doing this for a few reasons(basically so i dont screw something up, like i apprently did to my test forums..)

Also, wouldnt there be some sort of error on my test forums? I mean, the error that is showing is related to vbhome.

[TECK]

vbHome does not interact at all with vBulletin, but only with it's database, so it will not screw in any way your forums.
Did you take the time to read carefully the readme file (every word of it)? So you understand how to upload and edit all the files properly?
I'm sure you overwritten the forums global.php file. I might be wrong.
Please give precise details related to your install, what folder you uploaded the vbHL files, etc.

The script works without a hinch if you read the readme file properly.

[Baptizer]

Teck:
that is probably what I did: not paying attention, i probably overwrote a file. Sigh. I am going to go verify this now...


Edit: yep, you were right...i fixed the testforum problem. Now just need to hammer out this other problem. Considering i messed up bigtime on that, I am going to guess that you think i messed up somewhere else...hehehe.... :) i guess ill take another peeeeky!

[TECK]

Don't worry. :)
Please take the time to read the readme file, it will help you more then you think because everything is well explained there (that's why is so long).

[Baptizer]

That is why i was soo surprised it didnt work: Cause the readme file is so excellent and i 'thought' i followed it exactly. There were some slight problems with my test board before i did this, so maybe that has something to do with it too. I am going to just rebuild my test board and then try reinstalling! Thanks for offering such great support!

[mokes]

Need access to your vbHome licensed area.
"kthx"

[Baptizer]

Hi Teck:
I went ahead and created a brand new test bulletin and I am still having the same problem. Do you think it has something to do with me using a subdomain and not my main homepage? I am quite confused :(

Your directions specifically say:
[ROOT FOLDER] - upload here your vbHome (lite) index.php and global.php files
I am not uploading the files into the root folder. Instead, i am uploading them to a subfolder of the root folder. Is this why? and if so, any idea if this is possible?

PS: I am certain i followed the steps....I had my girlfriend go through them with me to verify! :)

[gopherhockey]

I have been told to request access to restricted area forums here via the teckwizards.com web site. Thanks!

As long as you manage to point to the right location of your vBulletin files, using the $adminpath variable, it will work.

[Baptizer]

Hi Teck:

So what I am about to describe is possible:
-I want to keep my main front page
-I want to keep my main forums
-I want to make a front page for my clan page that uses vblhome with the main forums. However, I do not want to use vblhome for my main front page.

Currently I am just using the test forum. Once i get it to work, i will then use my main forum. I definitely have it pointing to my testvbulletin files.....

Hmm, i am clueless. Obviously it is not your product that is giving me a problem, rather than what I want to do with it(your product is a 100% success from reading all the great comments in this thread)

EDIT:
Could the problem be that it is looking for the testvbulletin files inside the swgclan folder(considering the global.php and index.php are suppose to be in the root folder)? for example:
-its looking for /swgclan/testvbulletin/admin
-when it really is /testvbulletin/admin

My adminpath is:
$adminpath = 'testvbulletin/admin';

EDIT 2:
That is exactly the problem. The adminpath is an extension of the folder i am in. I just made some dummy files and put them ingo the /swgclan/ directory and the error was gone. Obviously this doesnt fix it, but definitley helps out.

How do i set the adminpath to go back a folder, and then to testvbulletin/admin?

[TECK]

---[root clan.php (your vbHL index file) and global.php
------[testvbulletin
---------[admin

Is the easiest way arround.

[Baptizer]

Ok, ill try that! Didnt know i could rename the index.php file to anything i wanted(figure there would be problems).

Darn, this is what i get:
http://www.2darkpark.com/clan.php

Now THAT I dont understand...*shrugs* The mystery continues!

[TECK]

You can rename the index.php to 300 files if you want:
- index.php (main page)
- clan.php
- hotstuff.php etc

They will all work fine. If you want to use specific forums for each file, simply add this line:
$articleforum = '15, 32, 48';

right after:
include_once( './global.php' );

in your index.php file.

[Baptizer]

Judging by my error, however, it is now looking for this file, which doesnt exist:

Database error in vbHome 2.2.9:

[TECK]

it doesn't see the $articleforum:
WHERE dateline>1041628715 AND forumid IN( here you should have your forums )

In other words, change at least one vbHL option and save the changes in your vBulletin options, so it will cache the variables. Do it and you will see it will work.
Or use my trick posted above related to $articleforum line, if you want to use multiple files...

[TECK]

Hey, I told you to use the root folder system I posted above...
Do not upload all vbHL files into the darn /testvbulletin folder, unless you edit all vbHL files to match that location.

---[root clan.php (your vbHL index file) and global.php
------[testvbulletin
---------[admin

This was posted just few posts above, but it looks like you don't want to listen to me.

[Baptizer]

*BLUSHES*
Perfect, my friend! Perfect! It seems to be working now! I owe you a big thanks for helping me through my problem. It must be frustrating trying to explain such rudimentary things to someone like me :)

A big thanks, again! I will soon be buggin you for access to teckwizards as well. I am soo happy now :)



edit: i was listening :( i did use the root folder system.....that is where that error was being generated from. I would NEVER upload the files into the vbulletin folder!

[TECK]

Don't worry, but please read the posts. It will save time for both of us.

May God strike me down for asking another silly question, but I searched this thread and cannot find anything(which i am surprised...i imagine someone else asked this already).

For my vblhome page, it is not displaying the text of the articles. There does not apprear to be an option in the control panel to activate this(nor does the readme file mention it).

Am i missing something? The thread itself appears, just not the text that is in that thread....*scratches balding head*

i got stock on step 4, i don't understand what it means by

"open vBulletin Control Panel (this i know) and a new {imageshome} replacement variable to your full website URS, like that (????? WHAT??):

[Baptizer]

In the control panel, on the left hand side, should be a REPLACEMENT section(do a 'find' for replacement if you cant find it). Then click ADD. Once you click add, do exactly as the directions say!

I had that exact same error a bit up from when you posted. Please take a look at what TECK told me. Your almost done, so do not panic!
As TECK said above(CUT AND PASTING TECK's REPLY):

add this line:
$articleforum = '15, 32, 48';

right after:
include_once( './global.php' );

in your index.php file (TECK, p. 163).

Instead of putting 15, 32, 48....put hte forum number that is your 'news' page.




EDIT: hey Teck, any info on my silly question? I did search the page so :)

Or simply set your vbHL options, since they are not cached yet by vBulletin.

Ya, read the readme file about uninstall-install. I would also check the newthread.php file since probably you didn't edit it corectly. More info can be found about this issue on the support forums.

[Baptizer]

The newthread.php file is correctly done(just verified). I suppose I will just wait till you grant me access to the support forums! I'd imagine all my questions have already been answered there.

I tried the uninstall-install(re-indexing the articles) but that also did not work. Hmm....very strange...very strange indeed :(

[TECK]

You are supposed to use the vbhlindex.php file, as mentioned in the readme file.

[Baptizer]

Yep,
which re-indexed the articles(or so the procedure said when i was running it).

thanx for helping me... (i don't know much about php coding and stuff) and i'm really sorry.. i didn't read the post on page 162.. cuz theres like 164 pages...

now i have some questions.. hope you guys can help me

1) when i upload all the files, i didn't see "newthread.php" in the zip files, is that ok?

2) the recent articles box shows up.. but theres no text in it..

please help.. thanx again

[nitro]

well iv installed it to test and seems fine i like the simplicity of it compared to vbportal

please can u grant me access to your restricted area on yor forum teck

also just 1 small question were can i find vbhl options im scratching my head (ignore this question its late an im a dumbass) :)

[Baptizer]

Hoooolala:

1) the newthread.php file is one that you already had. You need to edit your current newthread.php file and then re-upload the new edited one.

2) Strange, i am also getting the EXACT same problem. Your problem is probably occuring because you did not update the newthread.php file. Make sure you download this file, edit it, and then re-upload it. Hopefully this works out for you.....Mine is still not working :(

[Baptizer]

TECK:
Are you sure my problem isnt due to something else? I have spent the past two hours looking at things on your forum, but no luck. I saw your post giving the two solutions(1. newthread.php was not edited correctly, and 2. posts already existed in the forum). Could the problem be occuring because of the fix you suggested earlier?(adding that one line to my index.php file)

Neither of these two things apply to my particular case. Can I email you my newthread.php file just so you could verify?

[codewebs]

fixed

[BrettPower]

Codeweb,
I just had that problem in my vBulletin directory and in my PhotoPost directory. I had to wipe my domain, and restore a backup. Now everything is good-to-go.

Also, wait a while. The server may be burping, so-to-speak. I have had my server act up and show blank pages, then after a few minutes or so, they come back. In my case today, it was about an hours time, so i decided to nuke and re-pave.

Weird, though.

Good luck,
Brett

I know that this error has been posted in this thread before, but I can not find the reply on how to resolve it.

Here is the error I am getting:

Database error in vbHome 2.2.9:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ')

Teck, I am still clueless....
I cannot get it to display the text in the articles!!!!! GRRR
:(

[TECK]

Pm me the attached newthread.php and look into your thread table and tell me if articleid is present.

1) the newthread.php file is one that you already had. You need to edit your current newthread.php file and then re-upload the new edited one.

2) Strange, i am also getting the EXACT same problem. Your problem is probably occuring because you did not update the newthread.php file. Make sure you download this file, edit it, and then re-upload it. Hopefully this works out for you.....Mine is still not working :(

thanx for helping me.... but.. i don't understand what do i need to edit in newthread.php file?

Hi Teck:
i sent you the newthread.php. Exaclty where do i look to see if articleid is present in the thread table?


Hooolala:
In the readme file, it tells you specifically what to edit. Here is the section:
STEP 2
Open newthread.php file (located in /forum folder) and perform the code change listed below.
FIND:
$postid=$DB_site->insert_id();
BELOW, ADD:
if (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], explode(',', $articleforum))) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET articleid='$postid' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
}

Save the file.

[TECK]

Baptizer, open phpMyAdmin and look into table thread. The field articleid should be present there. Your newthread.php file is ok.

[Baptizer]

Hello Teck:
I looked in the THREAD table and articleid was present(articleid int(10) UNSIGNED No 0).

This is very odd......sigh. I set up a brand new testbulletin, so its not as though i have conflicting information from hacks, etc. Does this have anything to do with me having my index.php file named clan.php? I have no other ideas. No one else had these difficulties before, so this is odd.

Edit: not sure if this helps, but here is what i get when i run vbhlindex.php. It completes successfully:

Re-indexing the articles
Removing the articleid field... Done.
Adding a new articleid field... Done.

Hello Teck,
I was able to get it working, but only by adding forum 2 to this:
$articleforum = '2,4';

The news forum is 4, but the text for that forum is not being displayed on vbhome. However, when I added forum 2, i noticed that the text was being displayed for that one. I then tried creating a new forum, and added it to the list. However, the text for that one was not showing either. Any ideas? Obviously it is working right somewhat, but it is not accepting newly created forums.(after i create a new forum, and add it to the $articleforum = '', i then ran vbhindex.php.....still nothing)

[TECK]

Just quit reindexing, this tool is made only for an old forum that have other threads, is not ment to be used on a regular basis.
I have no idea why is not working on your site, you are the only one having this problem.

Create a new forum. Then enter this ID onto the vbHL options. Save the options. Post a new thread, it will work. Quit reindexing.

And don't add anything to the vbHL files, use the default ones that came in the zip file. No $articleforum, no hacking until you get it working, ok?

[AmericanWoman]

Can anyone tell me where the variable $ articleforum is declared, because I can't get any of this script to work yet and that's the empty string that's coming up as an error...?

I've searched the global, and it's not declared there - but it's used prolifically in index.php. :(

Sorry for such a lame newbie question, but I love this hack and am so frustrated.

Another tidbit - couldn't install this to the root of the web server yet, as it's a working site. Created a dev directory with a duplicate of the existing vBB code and database...

Oh, wait, might have just answered my own question. I didn't edit the install code...could be I just installed the extra stuff to the live database instead of my test...dangit. :(

[AmericanWoman]

Ok, so that wasn't it. Hubby had been intelligent enough to edit the config.php to point to the proper database when he upgraded the dev site (thank heaven for small favors).

Here's the error:

Warning: Failed opening 'vbs_counter.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/acurawo/public_html/dev/global.php(337) : eval()'d code on line 4

And here's the query generating the error:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM thread
WHERE dateline>1041714961 AND forumid IN( )

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ')
' at line 4

Any ideas?

[AmericanWoman]

Just want to apologize for asking the same question it appears that myriad users have asked before.

And searching the thread for the answer to it sucks because there are so many posts referring to it...yet the answer doesn't seem to be magically posted in ANY of the ones I've seen...

Crap.

[AmericanWoman]

Ok, still having the problem with this:

Failed opening 'vbs_counter.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/acurawo/public_html/dev/global.php(337) : eval()'d code on line 4

The files are in a subdirectory off of the root of the site, which is a mirror of the forums...

:(

Any help would be appreciated. The Admin CP works, and I've edited my options, and the page is showing up nicely with the exception of that error.

** Edit: fixed it. **

Is your vbStats hack. Just remove from phpinclude template the vbstats line and you are ok.
To get it working for the forum, add that line in the /forum global.php, just above:
header = '';

Notice the empty IN( )? that means you did not set yet your vbHome options and they are not cached in vBulletin yet (article forum). All you have to do is set at least one option in vbHome Page and it will automatically cache all vbHL options.

I also noticed you said something about full path etc?
In vbHL global.php you should have:
$adminpath = 'yourforumfolder/admin'; ONLY. Not the full path. Do not edit anything in the config.php file, is not needed.

Before you ask, please bother to read the first post at least.

[Xyphen]

Ok, I installed the stuff..

http://www.ooforums.net

I moved all the vb files to forums directory.. but the avatars don't display and the articles don't display -_-

[Xyphen]

and also, i did the replacement part of the images, but it didn't work for the banner and stuff..

[Xyphen]

The articles don't display, and the avatars only show userid #2's avatar for all the articles!

[TECK]

There is a readme file where it explains in details how to upload the files. Also use the search function in this thread to get all your alswers on how to upload the files (or any other problem), you cannot just put it the way you feel like.

Good luck.
