basically, if you dont have perms the latest thread will not show.

You skills are alot better than mine though :D

I'll be attempting to do the same, I have a big vB project to do for uni and I'll need to be able to do it for that :)

[groovesalad]

NTLDR- I was hoping you could help me out with something. When I set one forum as the news forum, I get this HTML error:

The Latest Threads don't seem to be lined up correctly

http://www.groove-salad.com/vbindex01.jpg

And on the bottom of the page, this is what I get:

http://www.groove-salad.com/vbindex02.jpg

However, when I use a different forum as the news forum, everything is perfect:

Any ideas? I'm thinking either the Quote Hack I did. Not sure though.

Do you have any HTML posts in the forum that was causing the errors? Or any posts that go way beond the screenwidth, like when you use [php] and create a long line?

Looks fine to me, not sure if you have fixed it now as thats no appearing :D

It would be line 1599 of admin/functions.php that contains the key to the error ;)

Not that I can think of. I don't allow HTML posts. And the threads were somewhat small in size. No PHP posts.

[NTLDR]

If you can turn the template comments on in the vBulletin options and save the source of that page and send it to me I'll take a look and see if I can find out whats causing it :)

Thanks :) Check your PM

What are the changes from RC1 to RC2?

If you could post what PHP changes there were, that would be great!:)

Satan

[NTLDR]

There are 12 changes in vbindex.php, 3 insertions, 1 removal and the rest are edits.

The main change for RC2 was the installer and all the templates re-coded properly.

If you want to send me your vbindex.php if you have made PHP edits then I can merge them for you and upgrade it to RC2 ;)

[Chris M]

Ah cool:)

PM it to you?

Satan

[NTLDR]

Sure PM it to me now and I'll do it while I have some free time :)

[Chris M]

Cool thanks:)

Satan

[NTLDR]

[Chris M]

Thanks:)

It appears to work without faults:)

Satan

[NTLDR]

No problem Satan, glad its working fine :)

[Chris M]

Yup...

I noticed that there was no "Online Users Today" info in it, so I added that back...

:)

Is that meant to be in RC2?

Some users were still reporting that the Number of Online Users Today and the Record amounts were being reset. I therefore saved some queries and removed the code for that so to be sure it isn't this hack causing problems.

[Chris M]

I see...

Well I added it back to mine:)

I presume the templates have that bit removed;)

I personally prefer it:)

Satan

[NTLDR]

I liked the feature too, but it was removed to help prevent bugs, I will try and find a way to get this going more efficiently for v2.1 Final.

And yes the v2.1 templates in the installer have it removed :D

[Chris M]

Cool...

Well I'll keep the old code till you find a way:)

The answer has allready been posted, please read the thread first. You haven't edited usergroup.php correctly.

Theres never any need to bump a thread less that 24hrs minimum after it has been posted.

Read 52 pages of thread? Ok. I followed the hack.txt to a T and still the error exists.

I followed what you said on this post

And still I have the same issue. I even replaced my usergroup.php file with the original one and re did the hack. Still the same problem. It's calling www.groove-salad.com/forum/forum when it should only have one forum in the URL. Any ideas?

An image or picture of the day box that pulls the pics from a specified forum and resizes via GD functions and displays the pic on the front vbindex page in a nice, neat, box.

Formatted for caption and description, and when the image is clicked, either a template with the full blown image is shown, or even just a javascript window would be cool.

:)

[Chris M]

Hmmm...

How about something like a Staff Members Box or something?

Well, here's what I seemed to have figured out. I uploaded the vbi_install.php file for the RC2 vbindex. I clicked to uninstall 2.1 completely and it said it uninstalled it correctly.

So then I clicked on upgrade from 2.0.1 and here is what I got.

Groovesalad,

What this code is telling you is that MYSQL is attempting to alter a table known as THREAD by adding a column called TPOSTID to it. Notice the error: "Duplicate column name 'tpostid'"?
This means that it already exists.

Here's what you do:
Go into myphpadmin or sql server admin of choice, drop that table.

Run the install for 2.1 THEN do setpostid.php if and only if your news doesn't show up.

Hope that helps.

[groovesalad]

When I went into myphpadmin, I didn't see a table called "tpostid". Where should I look?

[LightBringer]

Look closer at my post groovesalad. :)

the table is called THREAD.

[groovesalad]

ha ha. You know what's funny? When I go to work, I'm required to help assist in surgery, where I've got to think a lot. Seems as though my brain just wants to quit after work and can't seem to focus in on the small things. Thanks Light! :)

[groovesalad]

Light- I went into THREAD and clicked on BROWSE. I noticed it contained a lot (if not all) of my threads. If I drop that table, does it delete all my threads?

[LightBringer]

no groovesalad, do not drop the entire table.

if you're going to drop anything, ONLY drop the field called tpostid.

[groovesalad]

Ok good, I'm glad I asked first. Can you tell I'm new to all of this?

[LightBringer]

Originally posted by groovesalad

hehe, so am I.

Just let me know if you find it or cant find it :)

[groovesalad]

I droped tposdid. Went back into vbi_install.php and clicked to uninstall, which went fine. Now when I click to upgrade from 2.0.1, it says it adds the templates and everything is fine, however, when I go into ACP, no VBIndex templates exist and I still get this error when viewing vbindex.php

Parse error: parse error in /www/g/groove_salad/htdocs/forum/vbindex.php on line 191

[groovesalad]

"You have now completed the install of vBindex. Please read post-install.txt for further instructions"

Know where I can find this? I don't have it in any of the zips

[LightBringer]

umm, why would you want to upgrade from 2.0.1 if you've completely uninstalled it?

My advice, start with a clean install of the newest version 2.1.

There is no post-install.txt with the exception of the earlier versions of vbindex which is where you can find it.

[groovesalad]

Oh sorry. I thought when you uninstalled 2.1 it reverted back to 2.0.1. Does it uninstall it completely?

[groovesalad]

I get this with a fresh install

[groovesalad]

It says this "Adding Templates...Done!"...but it doesn't ever actually do it.

[LightBringer]

It DOES add the templates hehe.

However...those templates do not fall under the proper category (Maybe NTLDR can address this)

The fix for this is to run the vbi_install.php again and choose to reinstall the templates option ONLY. :)

[groovesalad]

You're right. It did add those templates. Still getting the error. Should I have something in my phpinclude template?

[groovesalad]

Ok, I played around with it until my brain started hurting. Here's what I've got so far

http://groove-salad.com/forum/vbindex.php

I set the forumid's correctly in ACP, but the threads don't show up. I even ran setpostid.php and nothing. Any ideas?

Double check and make sure you've got the right forumid listed for news.

If you look here you'll see additional instructions that NTLDR posted after the release.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=310825#post310825

I'm not sure if the setpostid.php file in the original attachment is the working version Groovesalad.

It should add all the templates as far as I know, how do you mean they don't fall under the correct catagory?

You are correct in saying that post-install.txt doesn't exist, I am working on this now with full instructions of the changes that need to be made than can't be done automaticlly.

If you can let me know about the installer issue then that would be great, I want to release v2.1 Final today.

When you choose uninstall then all the vBindex templates and DB settings are deleted, it doesn't revert you back to v2.0.1.

The only changes to vbindex.php are the Version Number, and removing maxloggedin from $templatesused as it shoutldn't be there.

There have been a few cosmetic fixes to the templates, correcting instances of <normalfont> and removing the Online Today: text.

I've also made a text file that lists all the changes that need to be made to usergroup.php, misc.php, newthread.php and template.php and setpostid.php is now integtrated with the Update Counters section.

Also fixed the tpostif column not being removed upon uninstall.

I shall be releasing shortly :D

[NTLDR]

vBindex v2.1 ACP Options.

[NTLDR]

vBindex v2.1 Usergroup Option.

Satan

[Buddha]

ntldr... did you find a way to set it up for those that are using vbindex for multiple pages, so that it could be run through the admin cp, perhaps as a dropdown menu to choose which page to edit the options for.

[NTLDR]

It would probablt be easier for me to make the changes to vBindex and send them just for you. The easiest way is to edit the code for the poll, news, threads etc, so that it displays based on what page you are on, for example:

if ($newsonoff!=0 && $page=="") {

You make it so you have to have news enabled and will only display for the home page. I can't currently see any easy way to intgrate this into the CP.

[Buddha]

no problem... i'll just copy and paste vbindex.php then and make the necessary code changes like i did with the current one.
thanks for the offer to help... very much appreciated.
actually, i've got a pretty good idea how i'll be able to breeze through this... so looking forward to it.

thanks again for the quick reply.
keep up the good work bud!

There were only a few template edits, you need to change the orrcurances of <normalfont to <smallfont in:

My advice is just upload the vbindex.php file with the code changes that need to be made inside (Adding lines 142-202 of original 2.2.8 root/index.php file) where noted.

Then bring up those 3 templates in the ACP and change the <normalfont occurences to <smallfont.

There's no SQL changes, and the only REAL change done to vbindex.php was the removal of maxloggedinusers and the change in version #'s. :)

[Buddha]

thanks lightbringer... i read the post you're referring too, but i thought that was the only edits to the templates from the RC to the final... i'm upgrading from 2.01... so i know there are more edits than that... an example being the newsbit that adds the "Read more..." feature.
(trust me buddy, i've read each and every post in this massive freakin' thread many times... i don't ask for help unless i'm sure someone hasn't beat me to it.

[Buddha]

by the way, is anyone else having problems with the smilies showing up?
i know it was mentioned earlier to make certain to have the full url of the smilies in the admin cp, but that was for a problem with the shoutbox. i can't get the smilies for my posts, although i used to be able to with vbindex v.2.01.
i have changed the url to include the full address, but they still don't show.

*edit*
also, i've been going through the vbindex to make the modifications i'd made previously, and i can't find this anywhere

// variables
// -------------------------
// news forumid
$newsforum=75;


that's what i used to change the news forum for each additional page that i made (the copies of vbindex). now that it's set in the admin cp (for the main index), where am i going to be able to change the code in the copies.

thanks.


ps. only 23 querries on my heaviest page. that's with ten topics. great work man. thanks!

These have been replaced by a batch of new variables:

$maxvbithreads //number of latest threads
$pollsforum //poll forumid


Just replace all occurances of these and declare your own at the top, like vBindex v2.0.1 did.

How much have you changed your templates?

[Buddha]

thanks ntldr.
i'll try it out in a few... not able to this very minute.

as for the templates... quite a bit... just moving things around, changing the right and left quite a bit and adding different replacements and advertisements and such. and the header is changed and added the total members and total reviews that we'd spoken about before... and then i had to create a crapload extra templates for all of the other pages...
which templates were changed from 2.01 to 2.1?

again, thanks for the help.

There are very few major template changes at all that may be of importance to you.

The main change to the v2.1 templates was to make them so when you turn an item off in the CP (threads for example) the it compleatly disapears from the side bar.

Other than that $readmore was added to home_newsbit, there are the shoutbox templates added and buddy templates have been reworked to show and appear only when a buddy is online, and Users Online Today: was removed from the home_left template. Thats all the changes I can think of.

[Buddha]

thanks. i'll look through and add the few extras... as for the threads, buddy, shoutbox and online info, none of that matters to me anyway, as it has been turned off.

that's great... i'll work them all over later and let you know how it goes.

thanks for all the help.

[NTLDR]

No problem Buddha, I hope the upgrade goes well :)

[groovesalad]

NTLDR-

After installing, I got this in my ACP when I chose "Options"

Is there any way to get rid of the other two vbindex links?

[dmw]

Greetings,

I just updated vbindex to 2.1. All went well except that now the news does not show up. I have news turned on in CP and set for 5 news items showing 500 characters.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

In the CP go to update counters and then run the one that updates the postids, this should slove the problem for all posts prior to vBindex v2.1 and the required change to newthread.php that is now needed.

You will need to manual go into your DB and remove them from the settinggroup table.

[dmw]

NTLDR,

ok...did reset. News still won't display. Any other suggestions?


NEVER MIND...I'm an IDIOT! I missed a step updating one of the .php files. All is working now. Sorry for wasting your time. Lesson learned... read twice, do once.

i've added the full url in the admin cp.
any thoughts?

How are they appearing? As text or a broken image? I've changed the code in this version to have less queries when dealing with vBcode and Smilies, its seemed fine on my test site.

I went in and didn't see what exactly I was supposed to get rid of. Could I PM you a username and password so you could take a look around?

[NTLDR]

Originally posted by Buddha

Try changing:

$newstext=censortext(bbcodeparse($news[pagetext],0,1));

To:

$newstext=censortext(bbcodeparse($news[pagetext]));

Or if that doesn't work (or if this one results in less queries):

$newstext=censortext(bbcodeparse($news[pagetext],$newsforum,1));

The last option is what vBindex v2.0.1 used so that will work, the first option may use less queries and work correctly.

I've double checked on a fresh vB 2.2.8 and vBindex v2.1 Final install and smilies work fine for me with the origional code.

[NTLDR]

Sure, its just a couple of enteries in the DB which are easy to find and remove if you know how ;)

Cool, thanks. Sent you another PM. Last one as I know you don't do support via PM.

[groovesalad]

Should I use the old setpostid.php to get my posts to show up?

[NTLDR]

Theres no need to use setpostid.php any more, this has been added to ACP -> Update Counters -> Update postids

Provided you made the edits to admin/misc.php ;)

[groovesalad]

Yeah, I did that but for some reason it didn't add it. You can look at the ACP if you'd like to

[NTLDR]

I just ran the Update postid's For Threads and the news appears fine on the home page for me :paranoid:

[groovesalad]

Where did you go in the ACP to do that?

[NTLDR]

Under: Import & Maintenance, click Update Counters and then Update postid's For Threads and click the update button on that table ;)

[groovesalad]

ah, I see. Did I not install the update counters correctly via misc.php?

[NTLDR]

You should have, it seemed to run fine to me without a problem, perhaps you just ran the wrong one?

[Buddha]

wonder if it is because i grabbed the code from a fresh 2.28 but my forum uses 2.27.

[groovesalad]

Where do I go again in ACP to add some more navigation buttons to vbindex?

[fsck]

that would be in templates. i can't remember what ones off teh top of my head but wherever you see links to index.php, search.php etc. on a image just add whatever image and link you want. maybe somebody could elaborate on this its been a year scince i touched my vB.

[TheComputerGuy]

Parse error: parse error in /home/gunandga/public_html/upload/forums/vbindex.php on line 410

Can you post the lines around 410 of the vBindex file here?

groovesalad, what do you mean more navigation buttons?
like navigation links in the left menu?

i wonder if it does have to do with the fact that i'm still on 2.27?

No, like the ones on the top right ( User CP, Members, FAQ).

[Buddha]

you can add those through the home_header template... add as many as you want. personally, i prefer to have the options in the left navigational menu, so i took all of the header buttons out and added the options as links in the left menu (which i can then set to vary whether someone is a member or not).
but yeah, just create the button, upload it, then go into home_header and find the other options. copy one of the lines of code, and insert it wherever you want the new button to appear. change the name for the img src and the url for the target, and you're off to the races my friend.
if you need any more help on this one, just let me know.

take care.

[dmw]

I did an upgrade to vbindex yesterday. I screwed it up initially then got it working. I only have one thing left that doesn't want to work, the Online Today value. Where would I look to get this working.

Cheers!
David
www.CADchat.com

[Buddha]

that option was taken out dmw.
check back a few pages if you'd like more info.

you can always go through the 2.01 version of vbindex and cut and paste the code into 2.1

[dmw]

Thank Buddha...I'll do a little research on that. I liked that option.

Cheers!
David

[Asso]

nice hack :)

[Buddha]

ntldr had mentioned that the code for the online wasn't necessarily that stable which is why he took it out. also adds querries (if you're counting calories).

That may be the reson why it doesn't work, I know the smiles appear in my 2.2.8 testboard. I changed it to reduce the number of queries, like you said, its not worth it for the extra load.

The code you copy from index.php is only used to generate the users online bit, so it doesn't matter if its taken from 2.2.4, 2.2.6 or 2.2.8 etc..

[NTLDR]

You either have white space after the ?> or you haven't copied and pasted the code in correctly.

[NTLDR]

Indded you can copy the code from vBindex v2.0.1 like Budda said, it will still work but as some users seemed to get the record being reset I removed it till I can come up with an alternative.

[Buddha]

david, i was checking out your site and noticed that you have the text set as the same color as the bg for the bottom table in the polls that contains the votes totals... the white table.
don't know if you were already aware of that... thought i'd let you know.

thanks buddy.
it's too bad that it can't work without adding the querries... but i'll just have to make due without it.
i've installed far too many hacks to go through a complete reinstall of 2.28, so it'll have to do.

[NTLDR]

Not sure how you site and that is set up, but you could allways use IMG code or HTML to add the smilies, a pain I know, but its something to think about :)

[Buddha]

that's a good point, which i will keep in mind. for the most part, i cannot imagine i will need them that much.
if i do, for whatever reason though, i will remember that suggestion.
thanks bud!

[NTLDR]

No problem. If I get a chance I may do a test install on a test 2.2.7 board to see if I get the same problem as you :)

[groovesalad]

NTLDR - Do you take requests for other hacks?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45069

[Buddha]

that request is along the lines of the one i submitted where people could have a collection listed on the forum. it's like the MyBookmarks hack, but it would be for a collection (yours is the concerts, mine is for dvds). no one ever commented on my request.

[groovesalad]

Buddha - Hmmm, that's too bad. I like the MyBookmarks hack, it's just not exactly what I need it to do. If only I knew how to change that hack, I would.

[Buddha]

exactly my point groovesalard. i ave the mybookmarks hack installed on my forum, and i think it's fantastic. and it's very close to what we would need... know what i mean.

if i ever have a few minutes, i'll check to see how much changing it would take to turn it into a different type of collections database.

[groovesalad]

Buddha - Someone just messaged me to install the Journal hack and change that around. I'll look into it and see if it's easy to change around, or if that's the style I'd like.

[Buddha]

i haven't installed the journal hack. i can see what they mean, but i would like more control of the collection (categories and such)... which i know the mybookmarks offers.

good luck though.

[groovesalad]

Yeah, I looked at that. Not what I wanted. I need something that looks like this:

[dmw]

ntldr had mentioned that the code for the online wasn't necessarily that stable which is why he took it out. also adds querries (if you're counting calories).

Ok...I can live without it, but how do I stop the text "Online Today" from displaying? I don't see it in the "home_left" template.

[NTLDR]

Its towards the bottom of the home_left template unless you have moved it else where.

[dmw]

Okay....this is what I have:

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#13486D"><smallfont><a href="$bburl/online.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">Online Now</a>: <b>$totalonline</b><br>
<b>$numberregistered</b> Members | <b>$numberguest</b> Guests<br>
$activeusers<br></smallfont>
</td>
</tr>

What am I looking for?

Cheers!

[Buddha]

take that all out.
you'll notice that tablerow will be removed from your left menu.

ntldr, i've found another glitch with mine, and this one is serious enough.
when i post html in my post (and the forum allows html), it displays the html code on the vbindex... actually shows the text code. it doesn't render it.
i'm thinking this is probably the same problem that's causing the smilies not to show up either.

any thoughts?

*edit*
testing many things...

any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

[NTLDR]

If you use the code I gave for the smilies that added 2 queries did does that parse the HTML? Or does it still show up as HTML source? I'm thinking perhaps removing those 2 queries has done this.

[Buddha]

yeah, that was the first thing i did... put that line of code in. in fact, i tried both lines you suggested and only the second one worked (adds 2 querries) ... still fooling around with it but it seems to allow the html.

it's having some problems with deep nested tables, but i'll work around that.

the extra querries tick me off, but it's still better than before.

if you come up with anything, please let me know. thanks for the help.

[NTLDR]

I'll look into that, the best bet for smilies to show is via IMG code if that works. I'll try and install 2.2.7 on localhost tomorrow and have a look, but comparing the fuctions.php for both the bbcodeparse function is the same.

[Buddha]

here's another kicker for you... it's not that it has a hard time with nested tables, but rather, if the post is long enough that it needs to add the "..." for the read more feature, well this is what happens.
(check attached image)

[NTLDR]

Theres nothing that can be done about that I'm afraid.

This is how it works, it takes the first X characters of the post text and then bins the rest, even if its in the middle of vBcode or HTML. I'm think perhaps thats what your problem may be? Have you tried the origional code with the character limiter switched off (set to 0)?

BTW good job on the design, its looking great :D

[Buddha]

yeah, if i have the limiter switched to 0, then i'm alright. and your explanation as to why it's cut off makes perfect sense... guess i won't be able to use that feature... ah well.

thanks for the compliment on the design.
i didn't change too much of your original placement of things... my next style for this though will be quite different.

anyway, thanks for all the help buddy.

The only thing that can be done to change that is modifying the vBcode for it as its the same with the forums, makes a real mess of the post when its longer than the width.

hi

how can i exclude private forums from the latest threads box? i don't want that guests or user can see the title of the threads!


much thx :D

[Chris M]

@wolfe - Have you made the changes to admin/misc.php?

If so, goto "Update Counters" in your Admin Control Panel, and do the "Update postid's For Threads" option - That should get your news back...

@scopeman - The private forum's threads cannot be seen...You can only see them because you are an Admin...Try creating a new thread in one of the private forums, logging out, then viewing the vBindex - You will find that you cannot see it...When you login however, you will be able to - This is because you are an Admin, and by default have access to all forums:)

If you have explicity set the permissions for each group for the forums and they don't inherit the permissions then they won't show, otherwise they will. I've already posted the details on how to exclude forums in this thread.

[sHORTYWZ]

I have the same question as scopeman.. I tried logging out and I was still able to see the subjects for threads posted in the private boards.. anyway to fix this?

Great hack BTW, absolutely love it.

[Chris M]

Make sure that you have "Is Private Forum?" switched on in the Forum options...

If that doesnt work, make sure your Forum permissions dont allow Guests to view Threads;)

allow them to view forum home, but not read the posts within the forum until they register.

can't help you with the php dude.
what's the problem you're having?

sorry, but i definitively can't help you there.
good luck though.

[wolfe]

yep when its done it will be top to add to vBIndex :D

[FleaBag]

The templates in the installer are royally screwed up. If you put a quote in a news post, it messes up the display of the whole page.

[NTLDR]

Quoting in news posts and the shoutbox works fine with the default vBcode, if you have changed it, its your changes that are causing it to display incorrectly.

[Buddha]

just tested that on mine gamer, and it looks fine.
can you post a screenshot?

also, do you have the character limiter on? if so, i'll cut off the post after that amount of characters regardless of whether or not it reaches the [ / quote ].
know what i mean?

[FleaBag]

I hadn't changed anything, it was a fresh install. I re-installed it 5 times before I realised the quote was the problem.

[FleaBag]

Oh and for an example go to www.GamerForums.com - excuse the horrible style, I just lost my default one trying to install a hack. :(

[NTLDR]

You have the PHP, Code and Quote boxes installed, this doesn't work with vBindex.

[FleaBag]

Ah right, I kinda forgot that was a hack I'm so used to it. Thanks. :) Any idea on how I can make them work with it? They used to work in earlier versions...

[NTLDR]

There have been no changes to home_news or home_newsbit since v2.0.1 that would cause this.

[Chris M]

I also use the PHP/Code/Quote changes...

Thats probably what caused my screen to go all strange;)

Satan

[haste]

I just installed this hack. It's working well, except that none of the images (except for avatars) are not showing up. The index page is located in the directory under the forums, and I did the chdir line in the file. Any ideas what could be causing this?

[NTLDR]

{imagesfolder } needs to be set to the Full URL.

[Buddha]

hey ntldr, just thought i'd let you know i upgraded all of my twenty odd pages today to 2.1 and it went off without a hitch. didn't worry too much about the template changes, and i'm saving querries like crazy.
i appreciate all the help and hard work.
thank you very much.

well mine works fine :D

it's not the default quote template, as i've changed that.
don't know where to find it for vbindex.

thanks.

You need to edit the Quote vBcode in the ACP to remove that part ;)

Or did you just want that line removed in news posts only?

[Buddha]

actually, just removing the line would be great.

[NTLDR]

Should work, find:

$newstext=bbcodeparse($getnews[pagetext],0,1);

Add after:

$newstext=str_replace("quote:", "", $newstext);

Change quote: to the exact text that is being removed (thats the deafault for vB.)

[Buddha]

thank you very much buddy. nice to know i can rely on you for help.
works like a charm, granted i had to cap the 'q' in Quote... seems to be the default on mine.

thanks again.
(just starting the work on the second theme... having a blast with your script... gotta tell ya.)

I am just wondering, hopefully this won't sound too stupid ;)

I bought a style/templateset for my vB ( TREN_Z ) - if I install vBindex 2.1 will it use the graphcis inside my bought style or will it be the standard "purple"?

[NTLDR]

It will use the cololrs and graphics specified in the style you are using. You may have to make some edits if they haven't used the standard vB images names.

I'm having a problem: only the newest news item shows a message icon, even though all of them have icons assigned. Any ideas?

hey ntldr, i've installed the "allow admins to use HTML always" hack, but it still shows up as text html in vbindex unless html is allowed via admin cp.
is there a way to code it so that if the post is made by admin usergroup, it will allow html regardless of whether it's allowed in the admin cp.

thanks.

Goto your Admin CP:

Click "Update Counters" from the sidebar menu...

Then run the "set postids" option...
