Can anyone spare time?

[rjdpa]

Ok, I tried VBportal, and vbindex and I can't seem to get either of them to work. Would anyone have spare time to walk me through step-by-step on how to set either one of them up? My main goal is to set up the main page of my website (ex. www.mydomain.com/index.html) to have things such as polls, login area, latest 20 threads, announcements, etc. all through the vbulletin. I'm still learning but if anyone has time, I would REALLY APPRECIATE it! Thanks!!!

I was able to get vBportal to work on my :)

setting up vBportal isn't that hard (even tho it took me all night to get it to work :D)

anyways, for vbportal, you go into your config file to point to the right path of your home page and to your forums. then set up the forum ids for the poll and news, then upload the style that came with it, pice of cake ;)

thank you for replying! ;) I tried that procedure already and when I try going to the 'index.php' file, it comes up completely blank. ???

Now I already have a vbulletin setup in a directory named forum. Where would I upload the vbportal files to? A new directory? or in the "forum" directory(where my vbulletin is)?

lol, like I said, it's really easy. on your site FTP, there should be a folder for your forums called "forums" or something like that...now you upload everything into the main dir (the dir. before that forums folder ;)) and run that installtion thing that's in your /forums(or whatever)/admin/vbpinstall.php and follow the dirations ;)

don't forget to update the config file.

if you have any more questions, you can try asking the good people down at phpportals.com or you can send me an e-mail at scsa20@hotmail.com (or you can use that to contack me on MSN Messager) or on AIM, my AIM name is: Simonsoft NT

good luck ;)

It has worked :D

http://www.rj-diamond.com/index.php

Its not in the forums directory, you need to delete the index.htm file in the directory above the forums one ;)

Looks like it works to me. You will probably need to create an .htaccess file that will point it to your index.php file instead of the index.html file.


<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
DirectoryIndex /index.php
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes


Now, I don't know much about .htaccess files, but it works for me

All you need in the .htaccess file is this one line:

DirectoryIndex index.php
