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

[TECK]

refertech, is all in the settings and how you uploaded the files.
try to follow my folder schema listed in the readmefirst file and that will cure your graphs problems once for all.

i'm sorry i didnt answer rightaway, i was trying to understand why in 99% of boards, the poll works great and in 1% not.

[TECK]

guys, i'm going out with my wife... is 9pm.
i will see you tomorrow here. let me know how the changes went.

i will drink a coor light for refertech, promise. :)
take care all and have a great evening.

[Smoothie]

Something isn't right with the new index.php file, it's not showinng bb code, like urls'. If I upload the old index.php file, the url's on the main page are right. Anyone else having this problem?

[refertech]

Man i finally get this right, me and my wife will buy you guys the Coor's Light. :)

I have reinstalled with the lastest updates and the polls just dont work for me, not sure why. If i enable it polls with out a poll on my baord being posted, all is fine. As soon as i make a poll i get that error.

And i never could figure out how to change the link to the logo on the home logo so i just made a directory and put the logo where it want it. If ya cant beat them join them. :)

refertech, i want you to use the poll. that's the hole idea to have all options. i'm gonna help you get it straight.
if you use msn messenger, please add me to your list.

my handle is nakkid@msnDOTcom

[Smoothie]

re-download? BTW Teck, is the multiple news forums code in this new index.php, or do we have to add it?

[refertech]

ok, i sent ya a request. Now get in the car and take your wife out. Whats wrong with you, you know how woman can be when you keep them waiting. :)

Mark

[TECK]

you have to add it. i will not add it to the actual file. it will be the first hack for a hack. that's a first one at vb.org, i think... :)

refertech, i know now why it doesnt show the logo. :)
replace {titleimage} with $bburl/{titleimage} is your home_header template.

i reuploaded right now the file with all fixes. so go ahead and download it to have the latest update.

[TECK]

i want to apologise for those little mistakes i make... is actually hard to put toghether a large piece of code like that, without making errors...

so far you guys helped me alot fixing the problems.
refertech, we will work tomorrow on the poll ok? i'm a little happy now, i went to the restaurant and had a great time with my wife...

i could say: i feel goood, i know that i would.... :D
now it's time for pleasure after pleasure.. hihi... cya all

[Smoothie]

My pleasure Teck. Running very smoothly ;) as of now.

Now, we just need those sweet news icons. :)

[Goldknight]

Nakkid, your multiple news hack work perfect! Thanks!! :)

[refertech]

Teck, man i finally got the polls to work. I just reupped every file for my board and reinstalled the hack and that did the trick, but have been something screwed up in a file. I probably did it. Thanks for your patience on this but we should still hook up and say hello sometime.

Mark

But, wait im sure there will be more to come.

requesting the pass :D

[refertech]

I have had some problem with when I change the password for a user, either by using the user cp or the admin cp i get same results. After changing pass and closing all windows. I return the the site i get the log in screen. I enter the user name and new pass it tries to take me to the wrong url.

Tries to take me here:

www.mysite.com/memebers.php
Even thou i entered the correct user/pass:

The only way i could get around this was to go directly to this url:

www.mysite.com/mydirectory/forum/index.php
And enter the new pass for that user. Then all is well.

Hummm,

Thanks man. I"m loving seeing my poll now.

I just downloaded the 3.3 file and I noticed that in the installer it still says "Welcome to vbHome (lite) version 3.2!". Just a small typo you might want to fix. :)

Smoothie, do a debug mode on your vbHome page, you have few queries extra there...
compare your debug mode list with the default one (all options enabled):
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=305888#post305888

i'm sure you added some templates and forgot to cache them.

guys, dont go over the board and get to creative.
you have plenty of options there, do not add more if you want performance.
leave it the way it is and MAKE sure you disable the options you dont want, this is VERY important!!!

[Wij]

This is fantastic :)

But I cant believe how much of a php newbie I am(well actually i can believe it),been trying for hours using trial and error(when I'm sure its just common sense) to do certain things.

A)Centre align my logo and buttons.
B)Get my black border around the whole page like on my board(http://www.gamerscomm.net/forum2)
C)Move Search,poll,sponsor and friends and affiliates to the right.

Never really been able to do alot on the board either :> apart from follow step by step mod texts hehe.

Can any1 point me in the right direction of how to do those things please? Hate to ask but I'll never know how without some help :[

wij@gamerscomm.net

[Wij]

K i managed to centre the logo and buttons,gah that was easy :P so obvious too.
Border done too.

But I defo need help on the code to move the things over to the right if possible,I just havent a clue :] doh!

kind regards

password?

[NeutralGold]

lol I agree, if needed....

[KingsFan]

Teck, Just checked out 3.4. Great work as always!

I just thought of something that would work great on my board. An option to upload an attachment with a new "News" post and have it display embedded in the message (just like your new journalist avatar feature) instead of at the end with the "user has attached the following image" text.

I can do it now with HTML but if possible I'd like to turn HTML off for security reasons.

Anyway just a thought. Keep up the great work!

[JBMoney]

Any reason I would get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bbarraycookie() in /home2/www/bushwhacked/index2.php on line 134

[obiwan8472]

Just started a fresh.
When I started a new thread in my news forum, I get this error

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: SELECT iconid,iconpath,title FROM articleicon ORDER BY title
mysql error: Table 'scifich_forum.articleicon' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

any ideas?
When I did the Install script, everything seemed to work ok.

[JBMoney]

*shrug*

Removed everything, including the settings and settingsgroup records that the uninstall doesn't get rid of, and any file modifications. Did the v3.4 install from scratch, used vbhlindex. Still get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bbarraycookie() in /home2/www/bushwhacked/index2.php on line 134

[badham]

I have a small problem maybe you guys can help. I have installed VBHome 3.3 and have it up and running. The problem I have is loging in. I you try to login at my hompage URL, it says it can't find page, but if you login at the fourms url it loads the fourms page. I have it set to where none of my fourm can be seen until members log in. I would like to change that for my homepage only, but have had no success in geting the login to work. I only receive the Vbulletin login box, not the one intergrated into VBhome. I am on VB 2.2.8. Thanks in advance.

PS same thing happens if a pm pops up from the forums page while viewing the home page, weird.................

[obiwan8472]

Right.. I got rid of it all, did a clean start and got the same error.

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.6:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE thread SET articleid= WHERE threadid=2993
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE threadid=2993' at line 1

meh.. i am off to the pub. :)

[refertech]

I had 3.3 working pretty good so i decided to go to 3.4. I kept getting a mysql error when i tried to uninstall 3.3 so i start over completely with new database , new vbb files and now I get this when i try to open the vb lite home page.

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/plmtech/public_html/index.php on line 12

Me probably going back to 3.3 :) Thanks Teck man. This is truely a great hack for me and what i needed. :)

Mark

[Goldknight]

I plan to install 3.4 but see what hackers here have several errors, I stay with 3.3 :) 3.4 look good, Nakkid good job

home_printarticle
home_printarticlebit
Should they be?????

[Smoothie]

Will upgrading to v3.4 erase any of the home_templates already installed? I guess what i am asking is what is the correct way to upgrade to the next version?

[TECK]

Smoothie, no, the 2 templates are in file printarticle.php.
About the templates, if they are customized no they will not be erased.

But everyone stay put, i'm making an upgrade also. :)

About the error get_bbarraycookie, you have to delete the poll thread and everything will be ok.
Relax, guys, everything is working great. The only changes done are related to article code so there is no reason for the poll not to work like before.

Have a little faith and work on it, v3.4 is a great change. ;)

Mark refertech, the mysql error you get is because you probably tried to uninstall twice.
also, you forgot to set the root path, onto your new vbHL index file, that's the error on line 12. :)

[TECK]

guyssssssss, i'm going to be upset at you. i know you get excited and rush things because you want to try it out and you think everything is ok... but please, relax smoke a cigarette (or whatever you enjoy) then look at the code and analize carefully every step on the readme file.

then you will see that everything is working great. :)
promise me you dont rush it anymore, ok? thanks.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bbarraycookie() in /home2/www/bushwhacked/index2.php on line 134

Where is it getting 'home2' from?

[Smoothie]

Teck-

Wait for upgrade script? Or if we use the new version, we have to run the new vbhlinstall.php and upload the new index.php? I'm a little confused as to how to upgrade.

[TECK]

is because it's still looking for the cookie. please understand i didnt touch at all the poll code, only the "article" one where it's added the avatar.

clear your cookies and temp files, then let me know.

[JBMoney]

no change

Where is it getting 'home2' from? is your full server path, i hope you set it in the vbHL index.php file.
something like: /server/home2/www/bushwhacked/forum

in the readmefile it's telling you how to get it. did you read it??

[Wij]

How do I do a full uninstall exactly? I set it all up on my forum2 which I use for testing but I wanna run it on my proper forum now as its so good,and as my forums both run on the same host I gotta get it off the test board :] if that makes any sense :P

regards

Wij

[JBMoney]

I know what it is, and the path set in the index file is this, which is correct.

chdir("/www/bushwhacked/forum");

At this point please trust that I've done everything according to the readme file. I've read it enough over the last three days to almost know it by heart. Remember that I've had everything working in 3.2 and 3.3 except for the poll.

[TECK]

wij, no need to uninstall. just change the options.. take you time to read the readmefile. is all explained there.

[Wij]

k dood,cheers for that :]

[TECK]

wij, what version you have installed? 3.4?

[JBMoney]

Forgot to add, 3.4 does work fine.... UNTIL the poll is enabled.

Thanks dude :)

[hypedave]

Hey Teck, just wanted to say outstanding job you have done so far !!

[bouncer18]

canyou explain the purpose of the Journalist group?

I guess i am confused...

JOURNALISTS GROUP
Enter here the usergroup ID value you generated in step 9. vBulletin uses 2 types of avatar groups, default and custom
(user uploaded). 99.99% of the cases, the default group is not used.
vbHome (lite) will use this group to store your journalists pictures or avatars.

The way are set the code changes, it will enable this default group of avatars to be viewed only by administrators and members who belong onto Journalists group. So if you have avatars enabled on your site, a normal user who wants to add his(her) avatar will not see the images.

I guess this is to show pics that show up in there posts or what

[TECK]

just for all of you that say it's not working. i did an v 3.4 install on my site, to have a live demo:
http://www.teckwizards.com/home.php

[TECK]

Originally posted by bouncer18

people who will be able to see the journalists avatars (that you upload, their pictures for example), to select theirs to be displayed, when they post...

[bouncer18]

Oh ok.. i mis understood it

So admins automatically have access correct?

[bouncer18]

btw....

i was able to install 3.4 w/ no problem

and those getting the error when they try making a new post. (sql error) Re read the instructions..

the key word was

[bouncer18]

hmm not workin here for me


:o\

anyone else got any input?

[TECK]

not working what bouncer?

[bouncer18]

not showing my avatar on main page when i post

[TECK]

i'm sure you forgot to set the full url, instead on the standard one, like the way it adds vBulletin.
always use: http://mysite/forum/images/avatars/pic.gif

instead of: images/avatars/pic.gif

is the same story like smilies, images, etc.

[bouncer18]

hmm ok

where was i suppose to put the url of my avatar?

i didnt see an option to do so.

I thought it automatically used my custom avatar.. ahh hell, i guess i fooked something else up again

[TECK]

Avatars > Add
no. it does not.. that's why you have to set it as default.
i didnt included the custom avatars because i wanted to save a JOIN table and reduce the stress on the server.

also since the default group of avatars is being seen only by admins and journalists, there is no way that other members can use yours.

follow the instructions on your readme file. add your avatar through admin cp panel the way you do it normally.

i also did it this way for security. let's see a journalist get pissed and he uploads a big finger, or porn as his default image. it will show on the main page. that will not happen, since only you can upload journalist avatars to your site. is well thought all.

[bouncer18]

hmm this steo isnt in the readme..

maybe it should be added?

[bouncer18]

I used Admin CP and uploaded the image next to my other 50 or so...

same result. Not showing

[JBMoney]

If I copy the 'latest poll' section from the 3.3 index.php to the 3.4 index.php, I stop getting the error. But it still doesn't pull the poll from the 'news' forum, it continues to pull a non-poll thread, from another forum, from a user that does not have the poll permission as set in the vbhl options.

[bouncer18]

oh hell

i found my problem i think Teck....

in the admin cp under your new section

i have everything set to yes
YET
ads, advertisements and search are NOT there

just polls and private message

uhm i am fooked again aren't i?

guys, you always forget a thing, to clean your browser cache before you download a file here at vb.org. and you wonder why you get all kind of errors.

every time i did an install for someone for vbHome, it worked perfectly everything.

mine was clean.. made sure of it.
and i know i have version 3.4 even says so at the bottom of the screen.

:( :(

[TECK]

then you should have all options.
open vbhlinstall.php with your editor and look at line 606 and below, to see all options there that are added.

it might say 3.4 on the home page because is in the file. if you uploaded an old installer with a new vbHL index file it will still show 3.4 on the home page but the options will not be installed.

[bouncer18]

it added them
i see the new home_ template(s)
i see the new options in user cp

but when i click YES or NO nothing changes..

possible error in my DB or what is your impression?

[TECK]

i'm busy now.. in few hours i will be free, and help you install it bouncer.
then you will see that everything works perfectly. stay arround and add me to your messenger.

nakkid@msnDOTcom

note: only people that i tell them to add me, i will add them also, the rest will be automatically blocked.

bouncer18cs@hotmailDOTcomis my SN i guess lol


anyways, it HAS to be in my SQL DB i guess...

cause all the new options are they, but none of the YES/NO are working..

Except PM and POLL..

if ya get time, can you make an UNINSTALLER for the SQL entries only and an Installer for them only.

i am 98% sure this is my problem..

yet i see all the new stuff....
Journalists Usergroup
'Enable Avatar in article

etc..

Yea, your right im lame i got that second error worked out. But the first one, i may have done that. Hell i did some much im not sure what all i did. Thats why i finally started over and got it worked out. Now as for the mysql error im getting when i try to un-install, is there something i need to do to the database prior to my next un-install for your future realeases to prevent from getting that error. I forget what the error was but it had something to do with deleting a table that wasnt there. Just think if I keep bugging you enough I might be able to help someone else figure this out. :)

bouncer install phpmyadmin

[LeeCHeSSS]

Just me piping in:

The bbarray error is easily fixed: update your vbulletin to 2.2.8 (I got the error too when I tried to install on 2.2.4)

To access your DB use either phpmySQLadmin or mySQLFront (my preference - GREAT tool).

Removing and $poll['pollid']did not show up the poll, but it's rather late to fully test it. Will try again tomorrow and get back to you (need to check if I should install 3.4).

[LeeCHeSSS]

Oh btw:
Please note that vbHome (lite) works with any stock (unhacked) vBulletin 2.2.x version.This is not true, it will not work on 2.2.4 or earlier if the polls are active.

[TECK]

thanks, i will add it there on the first page leechesss. :)

check the url path

make sure it points to the forum

post us the PAGE NOT FOUND url

[refertech]

I have seen the same problem when i change the password of a user and try to log back into the board. When i type in my site url. I'm prompted with user login screen. After entering the user and new password i get a page not found. For some reason it tries to open the
www.mysite.com/member.php

Now im not sure if it is supposed to look at this file prior to enter the board, but my member.php file isnt there. Its in the

www.mysite.com/directory/member.php

But shouldnt it try to log into the vb lite home page instead of the board anyway? Sorry Teck, I cant seem to shut up.

guys, if my demo it's working perfectly, i sont see why it shouldnt work also in your site. i didnt add any extra code or change anything.
also, it's working perfectly on my localhost also, so is tested on windows and linux env.
take the time and check the code. take an hour if needed, no rush. in this way it's all ok.

This is exactly the error I get. I have tried pretty much everything I know. I can not login to the home page. Does the fact that my forum can not be viewed without registering have something to do with it, and if it does what is the fix. Errrrrrrrr I love the hack tho, just need for my people to be able to login without having to go around the url. You can login in by going to (in my case) www.gearfreakz.org/memberarea

[Smoothie]

Teck, are you still gonna do the upgrade script? If not, as far as upgrading from 3.3 to 3.4, what needs to be done? Run the installer to add the extra templates, add the code to the .php/template files, and thats it?

[TECK]

ya, i'm gonna write the upgrade tonite.. and ad it to the package. :)
it should be done in about on hour. i'm still busy with some code i mod onto vBulletin.

notice the extra / ??

Your site is working just like I would like mine too. I did notice that you changed the name of your root index file to home, altho I don't see where that would make any difference. I s it possible I have permissions set that are causing the problem??? The home page at my site works fine, it is the login that is not right, I also get a could not find if a pm box pops up while you are on the home page. I am not bashing your hack at all, I love it, just need some help fixing the login problem. Come to my board http://www.gearfreakz.org/index.php and use dummy/dummy for the password/user name and see if you can see what I have done.

[pitt2424]

ok fixed it but still no good

[TECK]

STEP 6
Open vBulletin Admin Control Panel and set your {imagesfolder} replacement variable to your full website URL, like that:
Replacements > Modify > [expand list] > {imagesfolder} > [change original]

and change the Code to insert to the full URL, instead of your current value, images.
Example: http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images
you didnt read careflully the readmefirst file:
http://www.massmonsterz.com/forums/images

[pitt2424]

that's it but it still doesnt work. all i did was get rid of the other /

[TECK]

is because you dont have the images uploaded. i get a "image not found" error.
make sure all images are uploaded to your forum "/images" folder

edit: i just tried to go to your /forums location. it comes with a 404. i'm checking right now your url you gave me as default. brb...

buddy, your url is /forum , not /forums
pay attention to those details.

[pitt2424]

yeah i just saw that. thanks. what can i say foken newbies :p

Originally posted by pitt2424

go to Forum Permissions
put your mouse over the forum name
it will say www.yoururl.com/............................forumid=#

# = your forum ID

and want do you mean by 'group'?

[pitt2424]

the group id

[bouncer18]

Admin CP
------------

Go to --> User Groups --> Modify --> Put your mouse over the EDIT button. --> Right Click --> Copy Shortcut.

open note pad --> click paste button (ctrl - v)

you get something like.........


www.url.com/forum/admin/usergroup.php?=edit&usergroupid=6

And the 6 signifies the usergroup

i am sure there is an easier way, but this way works for me

[pitt2424]

thanks i appreciate the help

TECK, thanks for the help, but that edit made it where I could not login at all. I had to login through my admin CP. My board has alot of hacks on it, maybe that has something to do with it, altho there does not seem to be a conflict. I am going to uninstall and start over and see if I missed anything, altho Idon't see how I could have (I have been over it so much.......LOL) I will let you know.

[pitt2424]

tech if i put a post in the news forum it doesn't show on the home page. all that shows is the post subject

[bouncer18]

then you missed a step

re-read it all and dble check your work

[TECK]

upgrade script completed, guys.
redownload the package and read the info included.

the file is vbhl34up.php. dont forget to upload the vbHL files to your server. they are different now.

the upgrade will set again to default all your options, dont forget to configure them again.

and this time.. be sure you PRE READ the ReadMe..
make sure your doing what it is telling you to do..
POST BELOW and REPLACE are 2 different things :)

[bouncer18]

the latest 3.4 Script is 100% functional

I have installed it and have 0 problems.

be sure you READ guys..!!!!!!

[Smoothie]

Teck- I don't see any instructions for the upgrade process in the new download. Can someone that has used the upgrade script post them here?

[Smoothie]

the upgrade will set again to default all your options, dont forget to configure them again.No custom home templates get overwritten in the upgrade, right?

[hypedave]

Hey Teck if we already installed 3.4 below you released the upgrade script, will it still be best for us you use the upgrade script??? Jus wondering, thanks

[TECK]

ty bouncer. the problem everyone have is the rush.
let me tell you this guys. you will never get it working if you dont read every single WORD listed in the readmefirst file.

honestly i'm getting tired to hear people complaining. every single time i did an install with someone, it worked perfectly. so if it's not working is because you think you know the step, so you dont read it carefully.
sometimes there are minor changes, like a dot or comma... and you think "ahh is ok, i did this". well here it is the result. your script is not working properly and you complain.

READ ALL CAREFULLY. double check every single step 3, 4, 10 times, if needed.
vbHome (lite) is not a hack. is a piece of software, like vBulletin. so if you think you simply do a hushhhh hushhhh through all of it to install it better look to someone else's "hack".
i had people dont even bother to see the diference between "BELOW ADD" and "REPLACE WITH". when i tell them to read the step, they say "ahhhhhhh BELOWWWW ADD..., not REPLACEEEEEE...". this is inadmissible.
and i want you to get used to ask proper questions, not like "it's not working, how do it fix it??". check my signature for guidelines on how to submit a question. from now on i'm not going to bother answering to people who dont even bother to read properly a readme file.

all the best,
TECK.

[bouncer18]

no teck thank you...

i think i officially know how to fix the mistake i had...

Do NOT upgrade without using the update php file.

there is more to it then just that...

dont make the mistake i did.

If you have questions, feel free to ask me.. lets give teck a break.. ill try to help as much as i can since i have a pretty good understanding now.. again, thanks teck

cant wait to see whats next.

[TECK]

[bouncer18]

btw, what did you decide about Topic Avatars?

You gonna stick with this or you gonna attempt to modify vb even more?

last i knew you said it was to much work but knowing the way you code it left me wondering

[TECK]

i would love to see more people involved helping newcommers to vbHL.
i really want to finish my forums and go online with it. there are quite a few hackers now that have a good grip on vbHL and they could help others. in this way i can do other thinks and also develop new options for vbHL.
also, feel free to recommned new things to be added, what features you would love to see in the next version.

please get involved. people will love to receive your help. remember that once, i was helping you to get it right. visit often this thread and post here your experience. be a real vbHomer.

[bouncer18]

oh ill be here..

:)

[Smoothie]

bouncer-

You upgraded, using the upgrade script, right? Can you post the instructions, please?

[KingsFan]

Teck,
I don't know if you saw my suggestion or not but it was to have an attached image display embedded in the text on the vbhl home page. Just like your journalist avatar instead of at the end with "user has attached the following image." Thanks again for your "hack"!

[bouncer18]

Actually, i did it from scratch.

I messed up my database so we had to go back, delete them all.

had to delete all the home_XXXX template's
and killed the Vb Home in AdminCP

according to Teck, all you should have to do is run the update.
This will add the according items to the SQL DB and add templates that are new

Go ahead and run the upgrade script. It shouldnt hurt anything. Let us know how it goes

[bouncer18]

For an other working example of Tecks Hack, your welcome to view my site.

Forum itself has some additional hacks. View my profile if interested.

Also, i modd'ed the home templates a bit to make them look more like how my forum looks (background images rather then color)

Every option is on except the search.

Any questions, let me know

http://www.purposebuilt.org/index2.php
or
http://www.teckwizards.com/home.php (tecks official website)

[bouncer18]

Question was asked how i added the logout button on the main VBHL page.

If your using the vbulletin.org standard buttons (small square shape buttons) you can uncomment the logout button under

Find (home_header *template*)


<!-- <a href="$bburl/member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=logout"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/top_logout.gif" alt="Logout" border="0"></a> -->


replace it with

<a href="$bburl/member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=logout"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/top_logout.gif" alt="Logout" border="0"></a>


or as i did it

find (home_welcomeuser *template*)
<normalfont>Hello, <b>$username</b>.<br></normalfont>

REPLACE IT WITH
<normalfont>Hello, <b>$username</b>.</normalfont> <smallfont><a href="$bburl/member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=logout"><u>Log Out</u></a></smallfont>

Teck, if there is a problem w/ me posting this since this is a "private" hack let me know and will remove it

[TECK]

np, as long as is not actual php code that is part of the files. :)

[bouncer18]

hehe yea i mentioned that

but i guess others are like me and dont like those linkbuttons on the main page

;)

GO TO BED lol

[Smoothie]

smoothie, the readmefirst file it is for upgrade also. it doesnt hurt if you double check.Ok, I read thru it about 10 times. Maybe I'm not seeing it. I upload all the files to the right directories, then I run the vbhl34up.php file in my browser, right? What about the 2 other files; vbhlindex.php, and vbhlinstall.php? I'm sorry, but no where do I see any info on the actual upgrade, besides the .php/template edits.

[bouncer18]

upload index.php after you specify your chdir('blah')

upload the upgrade php file and vbhlindex (this recovers posts on the articlebit on main index.php page)
upload all remaining files and images

Edit according to the readme
then run the update

he is correct teck, there is no explanation in plain text for users wanting to upgrade. No reference to update file

[TECK]

only the upgrade is fine. no need to index the articles again.
for the rest follow bouncer's tips. :)

i didnt included a readme file for upgrade because the actual readmefirst file applies for upgrade also.

[bouncer18]

Smoothie.. i would recommend upgrading Vbulletin also... new version fixs alot of bugs and a few 'underground' exploits

but your site is nicely designed. GJ

[Smoothie]

Just upgraded to 2.2.7 1 week before they released 2.2.8 :(

[Smoothie]

cool, thanks for the info!! Could have been less space used here if there were just a slight mention for upgraders in the readme......

[TECK]

quote from the upgrade script, welcome page:
Once the upgrade completed, you will need to reupload all vbHome (lite) files onto your server and set again your vbHome Options, since they are reset to default values.
Also, double-check the new steps you MUST perform, in readmefirst.htm file.
i was tired of writing code, so i thought a note on the first page of the upgrader will be enough. i will add the info in the readmefirst file tomorrow. thanks smoothie.

[LeeCHeSSS]

I'll help aspiring vbHomers as much as I can. I'm European, so I'm on at different times than TECK.

But right now I'm going to try and get my polls to work :)

Alas: I didn't get it to work and unless there is anything related to the poll that was changed in 3.4 I won't update to 3.4 (since I have no need for the other new features - I would turn 'm off anyway). Nonetheless, I'm extremely happy having left vbPortal.

[Goldknight]

Upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 and work perfect

I usually solve many problems but this one, I reread and redo everything. Maybe I miss something so how can I get avatar appear on vbhl?? it beyond me. I did everything and nothing.
So how?

Thanks in advance

[LeeCHeSSS]

Update: copied & pasted the "old" 3.2 poll-code in my current 3.3 index.php

Poll is working now again.

So I'm available for support, but only for version 3.3 or matters that are not dependant of version.

[TECK]

leechesss, you should upgrade to 3.4. the code was improved, especially the articles query.
upgrade and turn off the options you dont want. it will run faster then 3.3
however, the poll code never changed, except a little for the query. make sure you insert the $ipollperms the way they are now.

just skip the member.php and template related changes.

Yea, sorry man, I was a little unclear about what to do. Didn't want to mess up all the work I had done to this point by making a silly mistake. BTW, I will gladly help anyone that needs it here, at least to the best of my ability. Teck has been more than accomodating, and it's the least I can do. Not an expert by any means, but I'll do my best. :)

[LeeCHeSSS]

Don't worry TECK. I will upgrade eventually, it's just that I don't have the time to keep up with you :) :)

And my current setup works, so I won't bother to change a winning team until there is serious reason to do so (eg. security issues).

[TECK]

i will not make a new release for a while. maybe next month, after i finish my forums.

[LeeCHeSSS]

I'm looking forward to your forums :)

[Smoothie]

Upgrade to 3.4 went well.

[Smoothie]

Question about avatars. The journalist group or whatever group I pick, by default has access to these avatars I upload, right? Now, this avatar that they pick only shows on the main index page, next to the news they post, right? Not in the forums postbit? The avatar in the postbit remains the one they uploaded, not the one from the jounalist group? Confused.........about this.

[TECK]

no, the avatar will be displayed also the postbit. the idea hiding them is to prevent other users to use the journalist avatars.
but they will work the same way like regular avatars. it's kind of a private avatar section for your staff only. the staff will have their predefined avatars that they select (the best way is to use pictures, it looks cool... look at sitepoint website). the rest of users can upload their custom avatars the usual way.

i did it this way to save a big JOIN, since the "default avatar" table will be alot smaller then the "custom avatar" one. the result will be a faster search onto the database, since the default table will have only few id's, instead of 10,000 for example, in the custom one.

also, if you disable the uploads, your custom avatars will not work, but the default ones, will.

btw, your no. of queries looks good now. :)

[TECK]

ok. i wrote in a better way now the poll query.
i need few beta testers with v3.4 installed to upload the new vbHL index.php file before i release it...

[Atheyus]

I'd like to try out this hack on my forums...

refertech, did this fix the problem for you, cause it did not for me. I am on VBhome 3.4 and everything works great, BUT I still can't login at the www.mysite.com url. When I edited the templates mentioned, I could not login at all except under my admin control panel WTF??? Anyway, if someone trips across a cure, let me know.

PS TECK I could really use that logout and forum button from your site.........:)

[refertech]

No, i couldnt find the code that Teck was telling me to replace. Part of that code was in those templates but not all of it, so until i talk with Teck im scared to mess with much. Teck is a smart guy he will beable to tell us what we did wrong.

Well the code I understand, he had us adding $bburl in front of the member.php and the register.php in those lines. The problem is it didn't help, actually made it where you could not login at all. I a msure TECK will figure this out. I love the Vbhome, I am adding more to it now. Wonder if there is a way to get the vbulletin login box to not come up and instead use the vbhome login. Of course I have my board to where you ca nview nothing if you are a guest, so that may have something to do with it.

Still want then logout and forum button TECK............LOL

[LeeCHeSSS]

How about you add "$bburl/forums/" in front of member.php and register.php? (instead of just $bburl)

[refertech]

Yea, that would be cool. I'll keep on it and let ya know if i come up with something. I also have guest dis abled on my board too. :)

Mark

[badham]

Well I have not tried that, but the value for $bburl on my board is www.mysite.com/forums so I don't think it would help.

[LeeCHeSSS]

On your BOARD yes, but I've noticed that in vbHome it seems to point to your root instead. There's no harm in trying.

[refertech]

Ahh, Leechesss. That worked for me. :) Man thanks.

Mark

[LeeCHeSSS]

Thought so...

[Smoothie]

Ya, all your normal links in the nav bar on vbHome will have to set to $bburl/register.php, etc. Don't forget search as well.

Thanks Basically, its set so that if you have members who report the news to your front page, you want to make sure they don't have a bad avatar. This prevents them from uploading one that would appear on the main index. YOU, have control over which avatar they would use.

Powered by vbHome (lite) and vBulletin ... (more text here)

then, use a <map> to place the link only in certain areas, more exacly over the product text.

Ok, thanks... I try and avatar refuse to show on home page, so I edit Teck's hack and modifty a bit with my code. It finally work and show it at homepage.

Thanks for response

Thanks for response i hope you didnt add the custom avatar table as a JOIN. that would be a killer for your performance. the code was thought with the performance in mind.

Trust me, I read all posts at any threads. I have a good habit of reading all of posts to prevent any annoy repeatly questions that which all of hackers are sick of. I m talking about "how can I get default avatar to show on home page"

Problem is that you are from romania(spelling??) and I m from Burma, so I have hard time to understand your english/grammar same what my english is sloppy at best so therefore I have to ask to clear up about how to get journalist avatar to display at home page. Thats all.

Other than that, your instruction is not bad for foreign like me with limited english. Thanks

[TECK]

ok, i think i nailed the poll problem. redownload the package and upload only the index.php file.

there are several changes into it, not only the poll.

finnaly got this thing up and running after getting some free time.


Wow is this awesome or what..



on another note I do have a two questions..
The news title on my page is showing up, but as far as the text that comes with it, no go :(
-what did I setup wrong to create this problem..


Also I'm getting this sql error when I try to add a usergroup now...
Not exactly sure what I screwed up to change this... Might of been when I uninstalled vbportal.. hmmfff

Anyways here's the error.. Moreover I wish I could figure out witch php file this error is created in so I can attempt to fix it.

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.8:

Thx for any help, and reguardless thx for the awesome hack!

[TECK]

1. guruXL had the same problem with the script. probably the articleid field didnt get installed. let me know if you ran 2 time the install, that's when it's happening.

2. you should contact the vBulletin team. is nothing related to vbHome.

ahh wait, you have vbIndex installed:
canviewvbindex

there is your problem, contact the author and ask him how to remove the hack.

[Antorz]

gah that's it!, thanks thought there was something in there... apreciate it..

[LeeCHeSSS]

Run vbhlindex.php to reindex the articles already in your news forum (a common problem for people switching from vbIndex or vbPortal).

[Antorz]

ahh thank you so much guys, I'll try that now..

[Goldknight]

@Teck, since I have your multiforum hack and I create Journalist before add multiforum hack, news from Journalist will display at home page but until I install multiforum and all news that Journalist create on home page disappear. I even try to use vbhlindex.php to reindex and it is still not work.

Even create new posts and it will not display after I install multiforum hack. I m speaking of Journalist and its created news

Any idea?

[Goldknight]

I decide to give it a try, I turn off multiforum hack by change option from two forumid(2,3) to one forumid(3) as 3.4 original and articles come back but one or two articles disappear for good.

Then I turn on by add multi article by add forumid(2) to forumid(3) to get multiforum on and articles disappear again.

Seem that it is conflict between 3.4 and multiforum hack cuz of Journalist feature? Thanks

Edit: if it is not too much to ask but is it possible to add other group like Announcer for Announcement forum? Just like multiforum but it seem cause conflict cuz of Journalist. er....

* Goldknight poke and run

[KingsFan]

Just did a fresh install of v3.4 and now no polls. :( They were working fine in v3.3 , what was changed? I tried taking the "latest poll" code from the v3.3 index.php file and put it in the v3.4 version and that didn't fix it. Was something changed in the templates or install file regarding polls?

[TECK]

no it was not. there were added permissions for polls.
i want you to clear your cache and upload only the vbHL index file to your server.
i want to make sure you have the latest file updated.

let me know. as you noticed, with the latest files updated, it's working perfectly on my demo site.

[Smoothie]

ok, i think i nailed the poll problem. redownload the package and upload only the index.php file.

there are several changes into it, not only the poll.Man, I just uploaded the new index.php. This thing flies....super fast. Good job :)

What? You must be miss something? Poll is work well at my test forum. In fact it work perfect but only multiforum hack

[Smoothie]

This just keeps getting better and better....

[Smoothie]

Everything works perfectly on my site.

[TECK]

the article and poll queries were optimised again. they grab only the needed info, so it's alot faster then before.

plus, now you have forum permissions for poll, just in case you posted a poll in a private forum. :)

[Goldknight]

Teck, not want to bother you but do you any idea about conflict problems?

[TECK]

gold, i will look into it.. later on tonight.

guys make sure you redownload the new package. it was uploaded about 20min ago.

[TECK]

for those of you who have problems with the poll, in vbHL index.php:
FIND:
SELECT thread.*,poll.*
REPLACE WITH:
SELECT *

[Antorz]

Woot, just got everything working...

Question:

Is there a way I can disable certain forums from showing up on latest threads?

[Goldknight]

thanks alot guys for helping out the newcommers. your experience help them alot.. and also it gives me more time develop the new version.

i want to know, do you want images attached? or attachments? or both? for 3.5?

[Smoothie]

Teck- Have a look at my page....Hmm, maybe there is a problem with the new vbHome_index.php. My polls are no longer showing.

Both! ^_^

[Smoothie]

As far as images, I would prefer not to have them on my front page, cause God only knows what people will upload. I would think we would need some kind of control over the size as well. Maybe too much work.
