mYvBindex v3.1

[MindTrix]

just put the ids in seperated by commas

[Intex]

Tigger - I've just done a re-installation of vB (2.3.3) and re-installed your great hack. Everything appears to be okay with the exception of two things:

Users can see and select what homepage components they want to view, but upon submission they don't seem to be stored. When you go back into the options there is no radio button selected for either yes or no.

Smiley icon location seems to default to the normal images directory. As I have multiple styles, I create an image directory under the name of the style I have. Where do I point it to this location?

Thanks

I'm having a bit of problem. Everytime I access the portal I get this MySQL error. This has been happening off and on with no help from me. I just went to my site this morning and it was like this but was working fine last night. Any help would be nice. Here's the error:

Invalid SQL: SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title,replycount,postuserna me,postuserid,thread.dateline,views,thread.iconid, votenum,votetotal,postid,pagetext,allowsmilie,show signature,signature,avatarpath,NOT ISNULL(avatardata) AS hascustom,customavatar.dateline AS avatardateline ,thread.iconid as iconid,icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath as iconpath

[Zachery]

lets try first disabling weather. also what version of php / mysql do you have?

[tenchiws]

Never had weather on to begin with. I have both of the latest stable versions of PHP and MySQL.

[Zachery]

ah ok,

your server or account is out of space :) you need to contact your host :)

Error code 28: No space left on device

[tenchiws]

That's funny because my cPanel says this:

Disk space available 399.24 Megabytes

Something is fishy. I'm gonna try a fresh install oh vBulletin and not...try this hack. Sorry, but I'm looking for a stable portal.

[Zachery]

thats what you have left, please feel free to go to www.mysql.com (http://www.mysql.com) and lookup the error your self, im almost postiive this is your HOST's problem

just because cpanel sasys theres 399mb left doesnt mean the HD has 399mb left :)

[AutomatikStudio]

Is it possible to add this hack to a site where the boards are installed in the root directory? IE. My boards are at "website.com" as opposed to "website.com/boards/"

[tenchiws]

Yes, you can. You just have the change around some directories. One thing is to change all ./ directories to nothing. IE, if you have require_once('./admin/global.php'); replace it with require_once('admin/global.php'); and so on.

[AutomatikStudio]

Figured out how to make the 2 exist in my root directory...now on to the next thing...and sorry if this has been asked before but 130 pages are a freakin lot to look through...there's gotta be a way to organize all these posts...anywho....i want to add one of the custom templates but I don't want it to have just HTML....i'd actually like it to have something like the most recent journal posts (as i have a journal section) and most recent pictures.....i know what sort of query I would need to do....but can those custom templates have PHP in them or how would I need to go about doing that? If this question has been asked before then please direct me to the correct posts. Thanks!!

[AutomatikStudio]

Also...I've having a big problem logging in and out. I click "Logout" in the welcome_text template and it says it logs me out...but it doesn't. And then I checked in a different browser and tried to login and it says it logs me in but then when it takes me back to the index.php page it shows that I'm not in the welcome_text but still shows i'm online. So....thats that. And my cookies are set to .banterboards.com

[deano1]

does this portal work with VB RC1 yet ??????????????

[Zachery]

mYvBindex will never work with the 3.x serries, thats what vBadvanced is for ;D

[deano1]

ok
thanks
where do i find that ?

[Zachery]

Currently at vBulletin.nl only

Hi, I am using vb3 RC2 and trying to add MyVbindex

All is done until the instructions ask me to locate test within files,

in my newthread.php I dont have

Find:
ipaddress,iconid,visible) VALUES

as requested..

The same for the member.php file, I dont have the text for that either.

Am I doing something wrong? I am right in thinking that myvbindex works with vb3 rc2?

Regards and thanks in advance... :)

This version wont, but look in the Full Releases forum for vB3, you'll find this and others.

[jaliam]

I have tried to install this hack but after I modified the forum_loggedinuser template and the Cookies option in my admincp, I lost my access to my VB3 forum. Do you guys have an idea on how to get it back? Thanks for your help in advance.

[jaliam]

Uh-oh, I am afraid it was the wrong version. Please help!

[Zachery]

Uh-oh, I am afraid it was the wrong version. Please help!
how can we help? clear your cookies :) restart your browser :) try to login again :)

I was able to login now but every time I try to access admincp, it kicks me back to the login page. It seems like it's rejecting my password.

[jaliam]

I did, Faranth. That's why I was able to login but I just could not get in to my admincp to get rid of the change I made for the Cookie option. I set it up for .bibleexpose.bibletruths.us. I wonder if that is causing the problem. If so, how can I get it out of there? Thanks!

[Zachery]

now if you are going to be using vB3 id suggest lookin at vBadvanced :) if youd like to upgrade mYvBindex :)

[RN BB guy]

This version wont, but look in the Full Releases forum for vB3, you'll find this and others.


Hmm, couldnt find them, they still working on them? I found some side bars but nothing as functional as this.

[jaliam]

now if you are going to be using vB3 id suggest lookin at vBadvanced :) if youd like to upgrade mYvBindex :)Actually, I am running vBPortal 2. Since vBP2 is not compatible with vB3, I will go ahead and try out vBadvanced. Thanks, Faranth!

[MindTrix]

RN BB guy, there are some vB3 portals released on this site, look at the vB3 release section, go to the subforums part, then scroll down to the portal area

[Big J]

I dont know what the deal is, but I'm using myVbindex for my home page and it either never loads or takes almost 2 minutes to come up. Anyone know what the problem might be? PLEASE HELP!

[hockyfan]

i belive so, read though the pages....
I think I found it, however it was to have multiple mYvBindex's (different pages) pulling from different news forums.

All I would like, is to add a little side column (similar to the 'recent threads' column) on my current mYvBindex that will show the threads from a specific forum different from my news forum. Any way to do this?

[Konrad0]

How can i create a new page just with the right and left menu.. but no news in the middle.... but there should be such a table like the news.. :)

i hope u know what i mean :)

[jarvis]

Okay, I am not a php guru, but have fumbled along this far.

I have been running this hack for quite a while now, and am trying to get some scrolling news across the top of the page. I need to include some PHP code into my myvbindex.php that will scroll this news across the top.

Here is the code:

// rss news
define('MAGPIE_DIR', '/home/mhogamin/includes/magpie/');
require_once(MAGPIE_DIR.'rss_fetch.inc');

$url = 'http://www.dailygame.net/rss.xml';

if ( $url ) {
$rss = fetch_rss( $url );

echo "<marquee>";
$count=0;
foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
if($count=="10"){
break;
}
$count++;
$href = $item['link'];
$title = $item['title'];
echo "<a href=$href><font size=-1>$title</font></a>";
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
echo "</marquee>";
}

The code works within the index.php fine but puts it at the top of the page. I have been trying to put a variable called $rssnews into the index template, but am lost at how I should go about next steps so that this code executes in the right location.

Thanks much for any help!!! :D

i installed dis on 2.3.3..and the news doesnt show up on the front page

[jokerjp]

i seem to have sorted the 1st problem but now ive come to a bigger problem ><
the page wont load, it seems to take hours to do so and Ive asked a number of people who have all said the same, so I went over the whole setup thing again and noticed that in member.php the following is missing:


eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cookieclear")."\");");


Im sure thats not normal because the install guide says:

Find:
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cookieclear")."\");");

Replace with:
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("error_cookieclear")."\",\"\$url\");");


This will ensure your users are redirected to the proper place when they log in or out.

can anyone tell me where to put that code please?

(aslo ty faranth for your help :))

[jokerjp]

ok all new problem lol i let the page load for about an hour and eventually got this

Is there any way I can change the "Latest Forum Topics" Bit so it displays the date and time of the last post in the topic rather than the date the topic was started?

Yes youd just need to change the varbiles, if you try searching you might find others whove asked.

[Onkel_Tom]

nice hack, but i am stupid and on the index page, where it displays the news and stuff its all fine BUT the post icons,

ex on the forum i pick 1.gif for the post icon, but on the index page it displays as icons18.gif

anyone know what i did wrong?

I had the same problem !
You have to edit your Icon table in this way.
Icon ID 1 must be /images/icons/icon1.gif
Icon ID 10 must be /images/icons/icon10.gif
Icon ID 18 must be /images/icons/icon18.gif

All Icon ID's must be the same as the IconXY name.
After changing that all Icons on the portal page are shown correct.

Hey, i'd like to know 2 things that i would like to change in the hack.

1. After my members vote I want them to stay in the myvbindex page and not go straight into the forums.

2. I would like to modify the Custom2 Template for a 2nd poll and i don't know where to start. Thanks

Lorden are you just starting with vBulletin? if so you really should be using vB3.

But anyway, this would require further hacking of external files to redirect them back to myvbindex. Youd need to add both another set of code, and all the html from the poll template(S)

[lorden]

Hey Zachery, yes I am jsut starting with Vbulletin. I used vb2 because vb3 seemed to have still been in beta... I wonder if i would be able to upgrade to 3? (I doubti t right?)

anyway, I'm not too good with hacking at all and I was wondering if anyone had created a type of hack like that. I can get aroundHTML, it's the php i am still having ah ard time with, like how a template gets invoked and all that stuff...

but if anyone does have any of the 2 hacks it would be great, otherwise i'll keep reading till i get it right ;)

[Zachery]

Yes you will be able to, and i advise you to upgrade esp if your just starting, and if theres no posts on your board now id tell you to do the upgrade RIGHT now.

Theres no real reason to start with vB2.

[Solid-Snake]

Ever Since I installed the hack all of my buttons have been out of whack. Now they all lead to http://ngrevolution.com/forum and mine is /forums

I must have forgot to add an s somewhere meh help please?

[Russ_T]

Hey all,

Is anyone having any problems with getting the news to update automagically? I have reindexed the news and its missed the latest post in my news forum. So I added another post, it didn't update, I uploaded the install file again and reindexed and then it showed it, but it's still missing the middle post.

Can anyone explain how it works or I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Cheers

[WBFT]

Hi I'm new here, I've installed mYvbIndex to the board and it works like a charm. It's a really great hack, and it has a great installation manual. But I have one small little problem, when I am going to admin/weather_install.php it says.

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, p*****r@****.nl and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Well it isn't a big problem, cause the rest works fine.
But it would be nice if it worked.
Anyways, thanks for this great hack!

[XtReMaTriX]

I am lost...

I have had this hack installed for a good time now. I am moving to a new server and I cant get it to work.

The forums work fine, but I am getting two errors on the index page.

SELECT template FROM template WHERE title='index_pleasevote' AND (templatesetid=7) ORDER BY templatesetid DESC LIMIT 1

AND

UPDATE session SET lastactivity=<timestamp i think>,location'/' WHERE sessionhash'<hash>'

Any ideas why this isnt working would be GREATLY appriciated...

BTW, I am running myvbindex3-2-2 and vBulletin 2.2.8

I am on a FreeBSD server... not sure what else you need to know...

[Dolamite]

Next find the Styles section near the bottom left frame in your Admin CP. Click on "Modify" under Styles, then click on the [fonts/colors/etc] link. Near the bottom of this page you will see a section for Image Paths. Set the "Image folder path" and the "Title image path" to the full URL for your images folder inside your forums (ex - /forums/images or http://yoursite.com/forums/images). You must do this for each of your styles, otherwise your images will not show up.

You have to edit the Myvbindex settings in your Admin Control Panel. Point to a newsforum. I guess you can't publish from more than 1 forum (as in vbHome) without modifying the code.

Edit the index template to do it.

the style i use is unnavailable now, i think, i bought it a while back. the site was vbforumskins.com

What's up?

I upgraded my version to the latest one and now the news threads don't update on the index page after I enter a new thread to the forum which my news is being called from. I renamed the "myvbindex.php" to "index.php" (For good reason) and this file is located in the root directory of my forum.

I'm using vb 2.30 ... Tigga, are you still providing support for this hack?

Tigga trys to support as best he can, but he is busy and doesnt use vB2 all that much.

I do support when i get a new email here


Biso you say you upgraded to the newest version of myvBindex, but it hasnt been udpated in ages.

Did you make sure all your file based hacks are still in places and that the settings are correct?

[Bison]

Like I said,

I've upgraded from 3.1 to the latest version and now the news section doesn't update after creating a thread in that assigned forum. It will if I run the script that updates the news, but it didn't work like this before. One thing I noticed is that once I upload a copy of myvbnidex.php to the main forum area, and point to that file in my browser, the news works fine.

I renamed the file to index.php and have it placed in the root folder under the public_html directory (outside of the forum directory). I thought the file could be renamed to index.php so that it's the first thing anyone sees when they type in the url to my forum. I know that I could create a html redirect page to point to myvbindex.php, but why should I ... when all that should be needed is to rename the file?

[hockyfan]

I have this hack installed and then upgraded to vB3. How can I remove the "remains" of this hack (ie., the options in the admincp)?


h

[Zachery]

Well i think there is an uninstaller for vB2, when you upgrade to vB3, the vBadvanced installer will remove mYvBindex and upgrade i to vBadvanced.

[hockyfan]

Ok great, thank you.

Hey i'd like to know if it's possible to display more days on teh scheduled events on the mini calendar.

Basically to show the next 2 weeks events underneath it...

thanks

[MiLynne]

ETA: nevermind...just got confused! :D

[Areku]

I'm using vb2.3.5 and I'm coming from the vbhome lite hack, removing it to add myvbindex hack.

Reasons are multiple:

- I used dynamic html menus which did not behave correctly on any browser. Now with myvbindex, they work!
- microstats page was displaying weird values with vbhl. Now with mybvindex, they work!
- Layout is easier to implement, even more clear than on vbhl and 2 custom "boxes" for online ads... thanks myvbindex!
- The admin funcions on myvbindex news are lovely! thanks myvbindex!
- There are miniaddons written for myvbindex...

HOWEVER I STILL DON'T UNDESTAND WHY CAN'T WE HAVE LATEST x NEWS displayed on main page (much like latest x threads, but with news) like vbhl does!!!

WHYWHYWHY!!!! ^:)

Any1 willing to minihack this? ;););)

[StepFenz]

I had the same change. And mine works.

Question, did you modify the template in Options/myvbindex? If so, you can't put more than one forum on the frontpage (without further mods).

[Areku]

You mean the feature exists? And how do you control how many past news to display?

[Areku]

What I meant is, IN ADDITION to the x more recent news being written to the homepage, there's a small box where the last x HEADLINES of the news are being written too...

[StepFenz]

It's all in the Admin Control Panel, Areku. You can configure
- news forum id (just 1!)
- news Post maximum (shown in the middle)
- latest threads maximum
- latest threads maximum characters

That'll do it. Question is, this answer is so simple that I'm not sure if I understand your problem...

[Areku]

No you don't...

vbhlite had:

Latest x threads summarized in headlines
Latest x news, complete, with x max chars displayed

AND

Latest x more news AS HEADLINES, below the latest x "complete" news...

So you can display the latest 10 news as complete, plus 10 more headlines of even older news...

Like:

"LAtest news"

If you install a VB3 and install Tigga's VBADVANCED, you'll notice that feature exists already, but it's NOT present in myVbIndex...

[StepFenz]

Ah, I understand. It would help if you had the headlines in a box, starting with the one that is not in the middle news section, right? I know the feature is in VBhome. And it's logical, because why show two times the same information?

But I don't know how to do that, I wanted that as well. Maybe someone can help us. I think that it is a minor modification, but I'm no coder, just a user :ermm:

I've got a few... ? Maybe 5,6 ?

and

Zachery - right now i'm getting the following error on my main page.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/illicitr/public_html/board/admin/functions.php:2419) in /home/illicitr/public_html/board/admin/functions.php on line 1628

then when i go into the forums, i get the message TWICE.

Buit my main problem was when i went to install everything - it all installed fine... but when it sent me to my ADMIN CP it was the same thing... the myvbindex.php never appeared either.

What's the problem? I seen other people with problems and the answer was to turn off the Weather.php - but how can i do that without being in the control panel for MyvBIndex ????

Also - the only page i never saved was the functions - the one with the errors. Now i can't get into my Admin panel :(

PLEASE HELP! If you can help - i can also give you my AIM if it'd be easier???

Thanks guys!

[tHe Rk]

I just wanted to drop in a line about MyVbindex.

Before this I was using vBHome Lite. While it was a fantastically written hack, After about a month I found it not only a little cumbersome, and the end appearance just wasn't to my liking. So I decided to uninstall it and try MyVbindex. I am Infinately happy with it. I ran into some problems with the install but was able to work through it, and the end result is a front page I think our site can be proud of.

I really just wanted to say thanks!

If you would like to see it in action go to: www.onlinegamersplanet.com
We don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon, and hey feel free to check out our forums while your at it. Thanks again! :)

[StepFenz]

Very nice Rk,

How did you add the number of replies in the newsbit: x views, x replies [reply].
I know vBHome had this, but MyVbindex not...

[lolly]

Anyone installed this and got it working with Gold 3.0.0?
If so - how....

[cindyd]

Per this post I made the correct changes but my private forum topics are still showing up as Latest Forum Topics. People who can't get into the forum usually, do see the thread headings....how do I get rid of that?
As shown here:
http://www.glassmavenhaven.com/myvbindex.php

The Hot coffee thread whouldn't be showing at all it is a private forum....right?


Is there another fix for this?

In post #1430 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=412050&postcount=1430), the instructions are given on how to modify the index.php file in order to exclude forums from showing up in the Latest Forum Topics section.

This is what I have now in my modified index.php file:
$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT forumid,parentid,displayorder FROM forum WHERE forumid != 4 AND forumid != 8 AND

displayorder<>0 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder');

My news forums are 5 and 7. Despite the modified index.php file, the posts from forums 4 and 8 still show up in the "Latest Forum Topics" section. I can't figure out why.

[tHe Rk]

I have searched everywhere for a fix for this. On my forums home page I have "Number of Users Online Today" hack that shows everyone who has visited the board today, and everything is working fine with it except when we break the "Most users currently online" record it resets the "Most users online in a day" record to whatever it is at the time of the other record is recorded. This is a really cool feature and I'd hate to have to remove it because of one small thing. Again I have searched all over these boards and threads for a fix but can't find one. Can anyone please help? I would really REALLY appreciate it!

Yes, currently using the most recent version on the first page. Also I am using it on vB 2.3.4

Not sure at all, with vB3 Brian has droped support of this hack due to his work with vBadvanced (the new version) for vB3

and sinix, if you dont like it i hope you find somthing that you do like :)

[randychase]

Lots of pages and a little searching did not turn up an answer. Can someone tell me why I can't use either IMG SRC or VB code to show images on the front page in the news threads? I checked the admin cp for the news forum and it's okay. What am I missing?

Thanks!

[cindyd]

I just tried doing that on my board and it worked perfectly. If you do have YES enabled on
Enable HMTL for News and Enable vBimage code for News then I don't know what the answer is.

[randychase]

LOL... Thanks cindyd. I did not look there and that is what it was. Very much appreciate it.

Hey, it's nice to answer one once in a while. :)

This is really a strange one, I have a long announcement on my home page: http://www.glassmavenhaven.com/ and at the bottom is a link to read more.


My moderators all get the You Haven't Got permission message when they click on the link!

But if they go to the forums and click on the News Forum they get in just fine.

I have made up dummy names as registered & moderator and I get in OK, I have cleared my cache (I don't know if that's enough)

What would be causing this? I have checked and triple checked all the permissions for the group, individually and by forum....any ideas?

[Exero]

not working fo me..

i get this

Invalid SQL: UPDATE thread SET tpostid='42' WHERE threadid='17'

i did Step 3 right, but it keeps showing that, if i undo step 3 it works... its mYvBindex 3.2.2

so i'm really stuck with this. I have tried and tried and still i cannot get Topics from my Admin/Mod forum to NOT show up in the latest topics.

I've tried the code whats been given in here and this is what i'm using yet still it shows up. I've logged out and checked. Made a new registered user check and still it shows up.


$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT forumid,parentid,displayorder FROM forum WHERE forumid!= 30 AND displayorder<>0 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder');

please help

[StepFenz]

Hi MN Mike,

Is it a hidden forum? Have you tried that?
You have to enable the user access masks.

[Zachery]

If i remember correctly, as it has been a very long time since I've supported this (ages infact) they should not showup at all if permissions are set correctly, try logging out and seeing if said topics are still showing up

[VPREATR]

We've recently began testing the migration/upgrade of vB2 to vB3, so far all has proceeded without major difficulty; however we noticed in the upgraded vB3 database 'mYvBindex" is shown within the vB3 "admincp" tool. What's the fastest way to remove those references without reverting to the vb2 database and uninstalling? (our upgrade takes 26 hours due to a 12GB attachment table)

Thanks!

[MRGTB]

I have spotted a problem with this portal, that is also there in just about every other portal for vBulletin. And I've tried them all and the same problem exist with them also!

During the installation you are asked to upload the "portal index" file to your ROOT directory outside you forums folder. But if you let's say make you forum so it cannot be view by guests. When you visit the portal page (which is located in the ROOT directory). It persumes the LOGON page is located there also. And the small text link on the LOGON page leading to the register page also thinks the register page is then located in your ROOT directory also.

It seems the only solution to this is to place the "portal index" file in your forums directory instead to work around this issue. I have noticed this same problem is there in all other portals advertised here and on vBadvaced if you place your "portal index" file in your ROOT directory and then make your board private to guests to view. Try testing this to see what I mean!!!

How can this be fixed for this perticualr portal I'm using so I can place the index file in the root directory and it will lead a person to the correct logon page located in the forums directory instead of thinking the logon page from the portal is in the root directory.

[Zachery]

Seems to be more of a problem when you are not allowing guests to view content than anything else Gary

[MRGTB]

Seems to be more of a problem when you are not allowing guests to view content than anything else Gary

Yeh thats the problem, I was just messing around and found if you went into the Usergroup settings and made so Guests cannot view the board and forums. When they visit your portal page (located in your root directy were it should be), they are re-directed to the log-on page. Where they can either logon or register. But it persumes the logon page is located in your ROOT directory. Meaning all other links also on that page then will not work because they dont point to your forums folder.

Whats the fix for this so it would re-direct them to the forums folder then to the logon page there?

This same problem also exsist with vBhome, Vbadvanced, CMPS and all other portals I've tried and needs fixing.

But I need the fix for this version though, if you can help please. :nervous:

[Zachery]

Don't know, Its been ages since I've even see vB2 code...

[MRGTB]

OK, I'm gonna have to re-install and put the portal index file in the forum folder instead of the ROOT directory to fix it. (no big deal the boards new). Because I can't really see an answers coming for this problem seeing as it's an old vb2 hack. Plus that work around cures the problem anyway completly. I would have liked to have kept the portal index file in the Root directory though really. :disappointed:

The problem is, anybody out there using other more up to date portals like vBadvanced and vBindex RC 5 for vBulletin 3 were the installation tells you to put the index file in the Root directory are going to come across this very same problem also if they ever decide to make there forum boards private to guests (meaning there not going to be able to register unless they manually link to the correct logon page in the forums directory). As this same problem seems to have been carried across to them portals and just about every other one for vBulletin that I've tested (I've tested them all).

So it's not just a vBindex 3.1 problem, but across the board for all the vB Portals.

Thanks anyway! :squareeyed:

[MRGTB]

Does anybody know how to edit the signature part of this so vBCode will be displayed on your portal. For example I added this in my signature. :) which on the forum displays a smiley :nervous:

But in my signature, but on the portal in my signature it just says as

:)

[MRGTB]

Is there anyway to make it so you can add multiple forum ID's in the News section in your Admin CP, so it will grab news from multiple boards and display them on your homepage in the center. All controled from the admin cp options via entering forum ID's.

[jeffj]

will this work in vb3.5?

I just tried it on one of my test sites and I get:

any ideas???
