vbHome (lite) - your vBulletin(powered) main homepage

[Russ_T]

Teck: There is a problem I think in the latest readmefirst.htm install instructions, I am running 2.3.0 and Step one says

"Open template.php file (located in /admin/forum folder)"

This folder doesn't exist :) I think you meant /admin/

Well anyway I've either got it wrong, its a vB 3.0 thing or I've helped you out a little,

Thanks for the great work

vb 3.0 supprt ist guaranteed? can i use it now for the new VB?

[Xenon]

as Teck posted on teckwizards.com he doesn't plan to upgrade it for working with vb3

Hi!

We just tried to install vbhome 4.2 on vbulletin 2.3, but we get this error:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the Spieleplanet Forum database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

No other hacks are installed.

Here the link: http://www.spielplanet2.de/portal.php?s=

Could someone help us?

big thx in advance,

spieleplanet team

[Highlander]

okay i resolved the problem..i didnt see the s in the forums as my dir :) so i typed it wrong in the globals.php

[Highlander]

Why it shows only some Threads in the middle and some not?

[silverlex02]

Does anyone know how I could fix my problem?

[Highlander]

probalbly in you home_header .. or turn your background in another color :)

[gldtn]

I installed everything and it all went down smoothly except when I went to open my index.php thru my web browser. I got the following errors;

Database error in vbHome 2.3.0: Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM thread WHERE forumid IN( ) AND dateline>1056526894 mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ') AND dateline>1056526894 ' at line 4 mysql error number: 1064 Date: Wednesday 25th of June 2003 09:56:37 AM Script: http://www.shroomsinbrazil.org/forum/ Referer: http://www.shroomsinbrazil.org/

I checked the global.php in my root folder that I uploaded and I did put the correct url to forum/admin and everything is correct. Could anyone identify my problem?

Appreciated, Thanks,

Hi Teck

Great hack. It works fine, though I have an issue with my newly updated 2.3 VB. Can't post a new thread in my forum, after I altered the newthread.php. Here's the code I used (just the altered part, lines 280 or so):

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO post (postid,threadid,title,username,userid,dateline,at tachmentid,pagetext,allowsmilie,showsignature,ipad dress,iconid,visible) VALUES (NULL,'$threadid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($subject))."','".addslashes($postusername)."','$bbuserinfo[userid]','".time()."','$attachmentid','".addslashes($message)."','$allowsmilie','$signature','$ipaddress','$iconi d','1')");
$postid=$DB_site->insert_id();

if (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], explode(',', $articleforum))) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET articleid=$postid WHERE threadid=$threadid");
}
indexpost($postid,1);

// update forum stuff
if ($visible==1) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,threadcount=threadcount+1, lastpost='".time()."',lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE forumid IN ($foruminfo[parentlist])");


Any idea where I've gone wrong??

And, what's the best way to show index.php on a front page, where the front page is framed? (If I add a frame, and have index.php show in it, when someone clicks on a link, it stays in that tiny frame).

My board is at www.russbo.com/main.html

Thanks!

Teck said this in teckwizards.com
As of august 1st, the teckwizards.com web site will be closed.
I think, so far, the site played a good role on helping people to solve their problems with vbHome (lite) as well to get cool information and tips related to PHP and MySQL.

So, if you want to download any hacks or mods for the current free software, now is the time to do it.

We will start focusing from now on our retail script, vPublish and we want to make sure our time is devoted fully to it.
It's a great project that will make many web developers happy.

Here there are our goals:
1. Create a rock solid product, query efficient and fully reliable on any server platform.
vPublish will be a very flexible piece of software that will incorporate all options a busy webmaster ever wanted, in order to make a web site easy to manage online.
2. Create a solid alliance with HiveMail web e-mail product.
We will contact the HiveMail product manager, in order to develop a close relationship with their product, since we want to make sure our products are purchased together.

I want to personally thank all users for their help and devotion to our little community and I want to promise you that you will not be disappointed with our new retail product.

Feel free to make any suggestions or comments.

I hope the support for the new product is a lot better than it was for the old project. As long as the price they are asking for it is more than an owned vb license, I'll wait for vbulletin's front end.

[TECK]

vContent will probably be the same or more...

I doubt very seriously that they would charge as much for it as they do for an owned vB license. And their support is impeccable. Yours is good if the questions we ask aren't "simple" in your eyes. I'm still waiting on the birthday fix you said you would give.

[TECK]

Rest assured that a paid license will be impecably supported. :)

I've just installed vBhome and am enjoying using it very much. I have a minor problems however.

I've gone into the database and edited the paths for the smilies because I use BB Code and smiles on many other pages and needed the full path in the database.

I now use your hack and find that my smilies are now showing up. upon checking the image it's pointing to the following:http://domain.com/http://domain.com/forum/images/smilies/happy.gifI'm guessing that your file must be adding forums url onto the beginning of the path, is there anyway I can disable this?

I installed your nice portal but now i have some questions:

How do i post news to the site?
And is the only way to edit the site template through PHPAdmin?
And how do i edit its colors?

~Pad
www.echonetwork.net

[cinq]

You are supposed to have a forum for news and annoucements and what not.
Whatever is posted there will be 'published' on the index ( front page news ).

Templates can be changed via your vB AdminCP.

Editing of colors mainly in the templates too , look under home_headinclude template.

[Sulaiti]

can I Install it for vBulletin Version 3.0.0 Beta 4

[pad]

yay, i got it working ;)

but i have a few questions:
i noticed the site using the default style. is there a way to make it use another template?
and where (what template) can i change my site width to 800 pixels? (cause now its smaller)

~Pad

[hass]

for some reason the news articles it pulls out are displayed from the oldest to the newest.. whilst i obviously only wanna pull out the latest 5 or whatever.

has anyone else experienced this?

[Celtic_Mad]

Where it says {imageshome} to fill in in the replacements part. What do i fill in there? On the index.php page it's not giving me the button pictures, check it out at www.timtalk.net/index.php

On http://www.calpolyforum.com several of the images are not showing up. I checked the directory and it seems to match where teh images are located.

Also, how exactly do we work on our page? I have no clue on how to add new things on my page.
I am trying to members login section, a calendar, a poll , recent articles , and a news section on the middle.

Hi TECK,
Before I install this portal... just wish to ask something...

my vbulletin is register as forums.keeptouch.net and the directory is listed this way :

public_html
../
../forums/ (all my vbulletins files are located here currently)

from my understanding in your readmefirst.html, I should place the files in this way right?

public_html
../ (vbHome (lite) index.php, backend.php and global.php files)
../forums/ (vbHome (lite) printarticle.php and vBulletin newthread.php files and existing vbulletin files)
../forums/admin/ (vbHome (lite) vbhlinstall.php and vBulletin template.php files)
../forums/admin/images/ (arrow.gif, article.gif, articleemail.gif and articleprint.gif files)
../forums/admin/images/polls/ (bar.gif, bar-bk.gif, bar-l.gif and bar-r.gif files)

am I rite?

ok I manage to solved the time issue by changing my cookies domain. And my articles are appearing now.

Only bug I had was poll, I enable poll but it did not show... Allowed Forums to post polls was set to 0 to enable all forums. Was the poll meant to be seen by those userid allowed to poll only? If so... maybe dats why I can't see it.


Another concern... I am using vbulletin 2.3.0 , if I were to upgrade to version 3 (I am still waiting for the stable release), do I need to uninstall vbhome? And reinstall back after upgrading or I can straight away upgrade?

And can I remove the version of vbulletin and vbhome? Looks a bit ugly to me...
Can I just retain the name and link like this :

hi Cal Poly Forum, I am new too but u can do this. You dun edit any templates, just go to (admin panel)Vbulletin Options -> Front Page

Choose yes for 'Enable Poll?'
Choose your forumid seperated by commas if u want more forums to participate for 'Allowed Forums to post polls'
Choose 0 to enable everyone to poll for 'Allowed Users to post a poll'

Strangely for me I did this but nothing appears, I believe it has nothing to do with the template as there is a $latestpoll variable under the home template.

Seems that everyone is getting this problem, I can only think that
there is a line of code that is not executing... I got that Invalid
SQL error aswell, then it went away?! Go figure. I haven't look at
the hack in any great detail because I have been too busy skinning
and designing my new site, but from what I remember seeing on
installation, this hack adds a few tables to the database. I'm not
sure but this hack doesn't read from the vB db does it? It reads
from the tables that it creates? So for somereason when a new
piece of news is written, it make a duplicate of the post in it's own
tables and the front page reads from there? So for some reason
the body of the post isn't getting populated in the home page
tables on creation. Maybe something to do with the "display length"
of the front page news? All speculation and guessing, but this
prob doesn't seem to be getting any suggestions :p Just trying to
get the ball rolling.

Well, open up the vbhlinstall.php, go to line 7, find ./global.php, and replace with global.php

[mccollin]

I am in the process of converting a site that was based on phpBB to vB. The forums are moved, but I need to redo my portal pages. This script looks like a possibility, but I need to verify if it can do the things I need.

* multiple portal pages for a single vB installation (example, a car website might have a main portal page for its home, but then have a Ford page, a Chevy page, etc... )
* selecting more than one news forum for news on one page (this merges the news from the forums selected into one date sorted stream for the news on that page - example, the Ford page might have taurus, mustang, and explorer news forums included in Ford news.
* list of most popular threads in a forum
* list of most recently added threads in a forum
* list of most recently update threads in a forum
* ability to do multiple lists of news headlines per page.

What I need to do is currently in action at http://pdaphonehome.com/phpBB2/i700faq.php and http://pdaphonehome.com

Would this hack be a good base for me to recreate these pages? I don't mind making changes to it to get what I need, I just need a solid foundation.

Try searching for its current content in your templates.

The w3.org image is to show that your webpage is valid XHTML 1.0 transitional, which means a lot if you're a perfect coder (although making your site STRICT instead of transitional is much better, for me anyways ;))

You can simply customize the main template, which should be the first template in the Home Page Templates set.

Remove the ./ in that line.

Hi Gary:

I removed the './' but the error still comes up.....that's the part you meant, right?

I was left with this:

require_once( . $adminpath . '/config.php' );

[Gary King]

Replace the line with this:

require_once( 'admin/config.php' );

[cindyd]

OK, I did that, now I am getting the same error message about this line:

[Gary King]

Replace with require_once("admin/db_".$dbservertype.".php");

[cindyd]

I've done that, but now the page looks very strange.

The screen shot is of the forum "main page" I guess, and the second shot is of my private forum area.

The banners are missing, the templates I have are wrong, the link buttons at the top are wrong.

Do I have to make these adjustments, within the templates I uploaded? They were all custom.

[cindyd]

I have a private section on my board and I see under Latest Forum Discussions, threads from that board are showing! Yikes.

I had to uninstall this, would someone tell me what I have to do to get my templates back the way they were?

I reuploaded the template.php that I had saved, but that didn't do it.

Run the article indexer in vbhlinstall.php

Hey mate, me and others have done this, BUT should you have to do it every time you make a news post? I'm guessing not as after you have installed it, you are told to delete the install file, thus not having access to the Article Indexer after you have Installed, Indexed, then deleted the Install file. The dilema I am having, and have been having since install is: I installed, posts were not populated on the front page, ran indexer, posts appeared on front page, deleted the installer as told... Then, made another news post, The body post didn't populate on the front page, the title/who posted/time all that was there, just not the body of the post... SO! I uploaded the installer, and ran the indexer again, fixing the problem. Shouldn't there be a call to this function when ever a new news post is detected? I'm sure there is, but do you know why it isn't being executed on many of our sites? Thank You again. :)

Check the newthread editing... what editor do you use?
Make sure is a php editor, like TextPad, etc. ;)

[kyzen]

Ok, I figured out why it was doing it for me and maybe a few of you too... You dirty n00bs ;)
Cause most of you should, like me, like to test and skin stuff before putting it online, you make a /temp dir on your server, and copy the forum files there for testing... You edit the files that your supposed to like the hack asks. Now, when you make a new post in the "news" section of your forum, after installing this hack its actually inserted into to tables in the database, the default vBul, and one that was created on install of vbHome, the purpouse of this is the trimming option, if you want only 1000 characters or whatever on the front page... Anyways, some of you may be posting in your "current" forum, not your "new" forum, it's the same except for the part of code in newthread which populates the second table created by vbhome, so that why everything else appears, but the body doesn't... for me anyways... All Good Now!

I got your point what the mistake was. But I dunno what you exactly did to fix it, maybe a cause of my bad English.

Could you leave me a PM or write it here?

[kyzen]

Oh, cause you have to post from the /temp/forum dir, not the /forum dir, otherwize the code you inserted would not run, and the table that the front page reads from wouldn't be updated.

they only show up if you are logged in and have access to those areas.

Anyone else seeing a bunch of issues with this when upgrading to 2.3.2?

Specifically, the avatars will no longer show, and the polls won't display? Must be an issue with 2.3.2's new way of doing a few things, any ideas?

Never mind, I got this taken care of now!

There was a hack for that to fix it at the teckwizards.com (but they're gone now.) Maybe you could ask someone for the modification required? Or just remove microstats from that page, that's another option.

OK, I have the vbhl 4.2 with the archive add-on. Now I have just moved my forum to a new server. everything is fine except that the archive is now giving me a 404 page. It worked fine on my old server. Anyone can help?

Here is the .htaccess file that I used before:
<files archive>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

<files forumdisplay>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

<files showthread>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

RedirectMatch 301 /archive$ http://www.mysite.com/bbs/archive/


Is it because the new server has a higher version of PHP?

Ok, first off.... i Upgraded to vb 2.3.2 and it ++++ed up all those templates, it moved all the HOME PAGE templates to custom templates, and it removed all the ones i didnt edit... so my ++++ is pretty ++++ed at the moment...

The templates are located somewhere in the vBHomeLite ZIP file, just look for them in each file until you find them.

Most likely the installer.

I'm not that familiar with the templates and various files, but am willing to pullmy hair out and learn to get the look I want for the site. Heck, I'll even grow a few grey hairs.

I wan tthe HOME page to look VERY much like the home page on this BBS (except with my theme and colors) in terms of layout.

I'm not sure HOW to get the new installation to become the main page and the current main forums page to become the secondary one.

I really need some help from someone who will understand that I'm trying, but am just not as expereinced as you folks are. I have done some minor hacking with success, but thisis the largest thing I have tried.

Will I still have my banner and my buttons, and will the page have the look I need or do I need to edit the index.php first, and copy past certain code into the .php file that is currently in the .htm file? (she wonders if she said that right.....)

[LadyBeth]

I'm concerend about the location of the files. I installed just ast you prescribed, but I just noticed that I don't have an index.htm i have an index.html, and it is under ADMIN. Your instructions prescribe placing index.php in the ROOT. My root is outside of the rest of the installation of VB. My installation begins at FORUMS, then goes to ADMIN on the next level in and so on.

Somehow, I also...um...seem to have an index.php in both my FORUMS and ADMIN folder. But I don't know if it is from VBulletin or VBHome. I don't want to blow up my board.

the vbhome index.php 'builds' an html page from various templates in your database. Don't edit it unless you know what you are doing. It will use your forums colors, etc. utilizing whatever you have set for your forums.

Do you have to go to www.yoursite.com/forums/ to get to your actual FORUM homepage? If so, you will see an index.php in the /forums/ directory. This is vbulletin's index... leave it.

What do you see when you go to the root of your domain? www.yoursite.com/
Some hosts will put a generic index.html page there as a 'placeholder'. That gets deleted and replaced with index.php from vbhome.

Ok... just looked at your site. Do you want to keep your current homepage (grime scene) with the links on the left, etc.... or is this what you want to replace with vbhome?

By the way... the index.html in your admin folder is not needed. It's only needed if your host doesn't recognize the index.php
You can delete the /forums/admin/index.html , or just rename it to index.html.off or similar to ease your mind (instead of deleting).

[raxafarian]

I'm a little confused about what you wish to accomplish.

Do you want to use VBhome as your new website, to integrate your entire site, or do you want to keep your current homepage and use Vbhome just within your forums?

Most people build a site around vbhome (I think)....

If you are looking to keep your existing homepage and have vbhome only associated with the forums, then you will have to make a new subdirectory and move the /forums into that subdirectory.

ie...
www.thegrimescene.com/ existing main page
www.thegrimescene.com/contractors/ vbhome page
www.thegrimescene.com/contractors/forums/

actually.... maybe you could keep /forums/where it is and just add the /contractors/... not sure.

[LadyBeth]

Do you have to go to www.yoursite.com/forums/ to get to your actual FORUM homepage? If so, you will see an index.php in the /forums/ directory. This is vbulletin's index... leave it.
Yes. Will do.

What do you see when you go to the root of your domain? www.yoursite.com/ Most all of my files for www.thegrimescene.com are there, and the folders begin for the Miva Merchant store, etc.... There would be an index.htm, and it is for the front page of www.thegrimescene.com which is done in frames.

Ok... just looked at your site. Do you want to keep your current homepage (grime scene) with the links on the left, etc.... or is this what you want to replace with vbhome? I want VBHome to be my front page. I do want to add a button to it for access to the Miva Merchant store though. That's very important.

I hope this helps. At this point I am willing to pay someone to get this fixed... any takers???

Look at the class name in that html code area and change the colors in the css file, the way you like. It's as simple as this.

TECK, I'm using VBHL v4.2 and I downloaded the Search Engine Add-on v1.4 for VBHL using the link you provided on the first post of this thread, but when I unzip the file "searchengine_indexer_v14.zip" it's included readmefirst.html file says "Search Engine Indexer Add-On v1.3 for vbHome (lite) 4.0", also it's forum/admin/vbhlarchive.php file says $version = '4.0'; I heard that v1.3 will only work with VBHL 4.0, so I'm a little reluctent to install this. I tried empting my browser's cache and that didn't help. I even used a friend's computer and still got the same thing. Could you or someone please help. Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, I wanted to find out how to create multiple different instances of the VBHL front page on my site, but after reading this huge thread, all of them point to Teckwizards, which is either down or discontinued (tried cpublisher.com too) ...

Care to show how this is done, TECK? Or does anyone know offhand how this is done?

[TECK]

Is not down, read to first post. :)
