I have vBhome installed on my site and use it to create a column on the left side of every page on my site with a place for users to log in, show online users, buddy list, latest topics, etc. It works great for the most part, but there are a few issues that I'd like to get worked out and was hoping someone here would be able to help with at least one or two of them. :)
The majority of my pages are done in html, so I just use SSI to call the file (which I've named include.php). This works fine, but I also have a couple of pages that are coded in php and when I try to use the php include function to call that file it won't let a user log in from that page or show their log in information if they are already logged in. I'm guessing this is some kind of problem with cookie's maybe?
Another thing I would like to get fixed is the ability to make style changes work on the entire site. The table background colors and etc will work fine, but I can't figure out how to get the font and link colors to change to reflect the style on any pages except for the message board.
I also receintly started using the calendar for people to post events and set it not to display user's birthday's on there. Now it will not show a user's birthday in their profile unless I have it set to display birthday's on the calendar too.
The last problem (at least that I can think of at the moment) is that the "Most users ever online" constantly re-sets itself and usually just displays how many people are online at the moment, or a number close to that. I've got several hacks installed on the board (vBhome, photo upload, improved who's online display, top thread & post starter on homepage), so I'm guessing that one of these hacks or a combination of them is what's causing this. I know it would probably be hard to determine exactly why that's messed up, but figured I would ask just incase anyone happened to have the same problem before.
If anyone would like to see the site to get a better idea of what I'm talking about the url is http://plurplanet.com and you can login with the username and pass 'test'. Oh, and an example of where I've used PHP to include the left column would be http://vforum.plurplanet.com/localtalent/listingsearch.php. If anyone could help out with any of these probelms it would be much appreciated. :)
