vBindex v3.0.0 RC5

[NTLDR]

my new thread button is missing from all the forums, is the failed install a cause of this??

No, vBindex has nothing to do with the newthread code/template.

[NTLDR]

possible?

Will the new version come out today or is it delayed ?

I'm working on fixing the last few bugs. I hope to be able to release it this evening (GMT).

[MaGuS]

Hi,

I just installed vbindex on my vbulletin 3.0 gold.

I get the error "Could not find phrase 'vbindex_settings_saved'." and I realy don't know what to do.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Magnus

[NTLDR]

Just ignore the error or create the phrase yourself. Its not important :)

[MaGuS]

It already created it, the problem ist that my settings won't save. :(

[NTLDR]

Make sure you have completed the install process correctly.

[Lissa]

When I upgraded to vB 3.0 the link to vBindex disappeared from the admincp just like it did last time I upgraded, everything else works fine though. :o I really don't know what I'm doing, is there an easy way to fix it?

[NTLDR]

Its back now Lissa :)

[Lissa]

OMG lol. You know, I'm gonna have to learn to do this myself ;)

Thanks!

[tobkat]

NTLDR, will the new version be finished today ?

[NTLDR]

I will be releasing RC4 here today. I've had a few people do test installs to iron out any bugs left and am happy that its going to work for the majority.

Once I get home I'll release it here :)

[moley]

cannot wait for the upgrade.

[Skyline_GT]

how come my index is a blank page?

[Raimund]

thanks!

but i into a problem, the news are not showing up, i updated counters and stuff.
if i use your vbindex.php from RC3 build 7, the news show up, but they don't with your latest vbindex.php. templates are all up to date.

do you have an idea?

[NTLDR]

The only change to the news is the news character limit, make sure you have either set it to 0 to show the whole post or a number > 0 to show part of the post.

[Raimund]

thanks, that (and an other small error i spoted) worked.

the only minor problem is that the version info is some kind of "broken"
it looks like this: vBindex Version %2$s

[NTLDR]

Either run the installer again and make sure you complete every step or run the following query:

REPLACE INTO datastore (title, data) VALUES ('vbindex_version', '3.0.0 RC4')

Making sure to add a table prefix if you have one.

[Davey-UK]

I have just upgraded to RC4 ,but can't get the latest posts to show up in the centre under the news.

I think this is probably to do with it not being a fresh install, the templates haven't been overwritten.

Can you post the new templates for vbindex, and shell to see if that would work.

Also what is the vbiupgrade.core file that is in the zip?

Cheers

[NTLDR]

Make sure you have checked the option for the center threads to show and you have updated the VBINDEX template from the VBINDEX__3.0.0_RC4 template (as per the instructions you should have seen during the install).

All the templates can be found within the vbindex_templates.xml file. vbiupgrade.core is the same as vbiupgrade.php, I must have dragged that in too by mistake, its not needed.

My fault....

What a plonker... I forgot to rename vbindex.php to index.php!!

Sorry

[GoTTi]

question NTLDR -

when users are viewing the front page, can it be made to say "Viewing Site Home" or something....instead of "Unknown Location /vbindex.php?"

Would look better in the Who is online area ;)

[NTLDR]

hellsatan released the attached hack at Core Forums for use with vBindex and vB3 Beta 7, it should work with all vB3 releases though. A full addon pack for additional extras on vB for stuff that exists in vBindex will be put together soon.

[GoTTi]

cool, works...u should put this in your installer file edits.

[hockyfan]

I'm a bit confused, does vBindex RC4 mean it's for vBulletin RC4, or just that this is the RC4 release of vBindex?

[NTLDR]

RC4 means its Release Candidate 4 of vBindex 3.0.0. It will work with any version of vBulletin after 3.0.0 Gamma.

[GoTTi]

if this modifies anything, can you supply a complete list of things it might modify in the mySQL db, so i can backup certain blocks and so on so i can install this thing properly and not worry about a error....

[svp1]

Could you please add a character count/limit option to the Shout setup just like you have for news posts.

Your Shout is an excellent feature but if someone can overload it with endless garbage it is too risky to occupy an important position on one's home page.

[NTLDR]

Datastore, phrasetype, phrase, template and thread (if you had vBindex 2.1 installed) are the tables you need to backup.

[GoTTi]

is it the same tables for this hack?

[NTLDR]

Those are the tables changed in 3.0.0, the only database edits where to template and thread in 2.1.

[Raimund]

Here's something I just noticed, and wondering if you can give me an explanation why it's like this... But the online users on the vbindex page is different than the forum home page for guests.

I'm logged out and the vbindex page shows 16 online, 3 members 13 guests. I load up the forum homepage at the same time, 21 online, 10 members 11 guests. If you're logged in it shows the same on both.

i have the exact same problem on my board and i know another board with the same thing.

can you look into this or got an hint how to solve this?

[NTLDR]

I'll try and look into it, I've never come across it myself which makes it harder to find the problem. If you have any extra details you think would be usefull then please let me know :)

[hockyfan]

Currently, I have this in my footer:
Powered by: vBulletin Version 3.0.0 & vBindex Version 3.0.0 RC4
vBulletin Copyright © MM - MMIV Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
vBindex Copyright © MMII - MMIV Winter Systems.

How much of that is required to be in the footer? Or rather, what parts of that can I remove?



h

[NTLDR]

If you have paid for the branding free option of vBulletin you don't need anything other than vBindex Copyright ? MMII - MMIV Winter Systems. Otherwise the only part you can change is Powered by: vBulletin Version 3.0.0 & vBindex Version 3.0.0 RC4 which can be reduced to a minimum of Powered by: vBulletin (however you'll have to contact Jelsoft to confirm that).

And what about the XHTML image?


h

[NTLDR]

The Powered by: vBindex Version 3.0.0 RC4 part and the XHTML image can both be removed. Just the vBindex copyright must remain, and the vBulletin Copyright if you don't have the branding-free option :)

[hockyfan]

Thanks, great hack by the way, installed with ease! :)

Hmm, I upgraded from RC3, and on the homepage, the Internet Explorer "Error" symbol flashes before the images start to load, did I miss a step?

(It also says there is an error for no reason when the page is completly loaded as well)

http://www.exius-ent.com/index.php

(Ignore the Style, Im still working on it..)

[mattyk72]

I have the following error message at the top of my portal

[JoeBiscuit]

Ok, i have spent way too long trying to find a fix for what I want to do. Maybe you can help me out.

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have made a new "extra" page, I created the regular template to house the $php_output and then the php template. I'm trying to make the php code pull a single post and display it's body information into the page. I have had no luck so far. Here is what I currently have.


$query = 'SELECT pagetext FROM post WHERE postid = 20886';
if ($r = mysql_query($query))
{
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($r))
{
echo $row['pagetext'];
}
}


What am I missing here? The page loads fine, but the body of the post doesn't output. Any help on this would be greatly appreciate because I just don't know what to do now.

Any Ideas how to fix this? And what caused it... And weather it is fixed in RC4


Edi: After refreshing it numerous times as soon as it happened it stayed on the error page... I then waited 10 mins and re-freshed again and it was fixed... I even kept refreshing to see if the same poll I voted on worked in the main page.. And it did. Very curious, anyi ideas

Also you can see I grab my randome poll from practically all the forums bar 4ish... Is this bad for the code? Also, If i set it on to all, and there is a poll in a forum wich not everyone has acsess to, will someone without rights to view that forum be able to view the poll.
And is there a way to set it to all and just leave a few not checked ever....

[gamevn]

This portal workd good to with vb3gold.
but how do i add new pages to it.

[tobkat]

Does anybody know, how I can edit the Phrases that came with vbindex RC 4 ?

[NTLDR]

Does anybody know, how I can edit the Phrases that came with vbindex RC 4 ?

Admin CP -> Phrase Manager -> vBindex (or vBindex Control Panel) and you'll see a list of all the vBindex added ones. Note vBindex uses some default vB phrases too.

Its a problem with your database and isn't vBindex or vBulletin related.

The poll like all the other areas uses permissions, if the user doesn't have access to the forum they won't ever see the poll from that forum appear.

[NTLDR]

I assume you mean vBindex RC3 -> RC4 in which case there was a error in the vbindex_headinclude template in an early release, find:


<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js"></script>

Replace with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="$vboptions[burl]/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js"></script>

[JoeBiscuit]

Any idea on the pulling a single post's body text onto a new extra page?

Thats definitely the problem, I've justed checked out your site and viewed the source and thats the part thats causing the error.

[Funkworkz]

I see, the code you told me to replace it with had

$vboptions[burl]/

rather then

$vboptions[bburl]/

Fixed now, thanks.

[NTLDR]

Sorry, my mistake, I knew it was that bit that was wrong, I just thought it was the entire variable missing (instead I posted the real error *heh*). Glad its working now :)

[Frzzy]

Is there any uninstall script?

[NTLDR]

vBindex 3.0.0 RC4 has a built-in uninstaller to remove vBindex 3.0.0 Beta 1 and above.

[mattyk72]

Make sure you have edited vbiconfig.php correctly as per step one of the installer.

I edited to exactly what it told me to

I even went back and did it over, obviously I'm missing something

:ermm:

[NTLDR]

You should have the path set to something similar to /home/thewar/public_html from looking at the error message and your site.

[mattyk72]

this is what I have

If I'm updating from vbindex rc3 build 10 is there anything i have to do different besides upload the files and run the script?

You need to edit the file EXACTLY as it is shown which would have been:


// enter the path to your forums here that you were given during the

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/thewar/public_html');

Admin CP -> Style Manager -> All Options (for the said style).

[chris frolic]

Could someone share how I could go about adding vbindex (and vbindex extra pages) to my who's online? Since it's index.php in my root directory it's appearing as the message forum and I'm not sure how exactly to distinguish it in functions_online.php. Thanks.

[NTLDR]

You'd need to make alot of changes to functions_online.php so that it can tell the difference between /index.php and /forums/index.php as its all based on the filename only.

ight cool thanx for info nt....when do u plan on releasing a gold release of this...so we dont have nemore updates...

also if i were to install this on a already running forum with its own style, is the script going to inherit the style that the forum already has, or is it going to overwrite the style i already have in place?

and is it easy to upgrade the script if this version is installed, not the beta 1...and if upgraded, does it overwrite anything already set or will it load the colors and settings from headers and so on to the new version...

[NTLDR]

when do u plan on releasing a gold release of this...so we dont have nemore updates...

Its possible there will be a vBindex 3.0.0 RC5, but that depends on how much more I add. After that vBindex 3.0.0 will be final and work will begin on 3.1.0 or 3.0.1 depending on any bugs found/features added.

also if i were to install this on a already running forum with its own style, is the script going to inherit the style that the forum already has, or is it going to overwrite the style i already have in place?

It imports the vBindex templates to each parent (top level) style and will use your existing CSS styles.

and is it easy to upgrade the script if this version is installed, not the beta 1...and if upgraded, does it overwrite anything already set or will it load the colors and settings from headers and so on to the new version...

If your running vBindex 3.0.0 RC3 or later the upgrade will work flawlessly, no templates will be overwritten if they have been altered by you. If your running a version bettween Beta 1 and RC2 then you'll manually have to work out the template changes or delete them and start fresh. No settings or anything are ever lost/overwritten with any upgrade.

coo..your the bombay ;)

2 problems after installing on big board...

the vbindex.php is not showing the shoutbox. the shoutbox DID show on my testboard when i installed it, so i dont understand why it is not now.

i enabled the news area, and put a forum id on there...all is good, it brings the post in the page good, but the icons are not loading that are in the post, like smilies...but they are showing on each thread @ the top left of it...just not in post, and the folders have been properly specified.

The smilies need to have a full URL, or a URL like /forums/images/smilies/smilie.gif, if updated with a query you need to save one after running the query. Your icons should be in the format images/icons if not you needto edit the vbindex_newsbit template.

Nope didn't work either. I know when I was uploading the templates again, it told me that the file was create in vb 3 Gamma. And then I just used the Ignore Style Version option to get by that. Maybe since the templates where create in vb3 gamma has something to do with it.

[NTLDR]

The version it was created in doesn't make any difference, it was downloaded by vB3 Gamma but designed for vB3.0.0. RC5 will be released in about 15mins and you can try importing the templates from that which were created with vB3.0.0.

check in the vbiconfig.php file in the root dir install, and check the directory path.

If you followed the installer verbatim (word for word), then the installer tells you to edit that file and put your path to the admincp in there, which is wrong, it needs the main forums.

For example:

I was told to change the dir path to: /home/............/www/forum/admincp/

That didn't work because then the vbindex.php will then be trying to use the admincp's global.php which is totally NOT the file we want it to use, so remove the admincp/ subdirectory and it should work from there.

i.e.: /home/............/www/forum/

At least that is what I had to do to fix the blank screen issue...

hope it helps.

Here is a bug for you NTLDR...at the bottom righthand corner of the vBindex page. The "Contact Us" is pointing to the wrong directory, it is should be /forums/sendmessage.php.

As the Contact Us link can be anything I've missed that out on purpose so it doesn't break email links. Thanks for reminding me though I'll update the instructions saying the option in the ACP needs to be changed.

Also I know that vBulletin has the "Censored Words" feature for the posts. But what about using the "Censored Words" feature for the shoutbox?

They should be censored, however its possile a user is using BB code to bypass the censor.

i just downloaded the vbindex rc5 zip file and unzipped it and it only had one file in there with no extension.

There are issues with zip attachments here and at vB.com, downloading with a browser other than IE should work.

[NTLDR]

Has anybody got a fix for the post icons not showing up in the news column on Vbindex? I tried a search here but found nothing recent. I am reluctant to make changes to the image paths because all my other images are appearing on the Vbindex page just fine.

If you use a full URL http://www.myimage.com/forums/image.gif then they will show up correctly everywhere with the exception of post icons on vBindex which expect to be in the format /images/icons/icon.gif

HELP ABOUT THIS PROB???

Make sure you have uploaded all the files to the correct location and have the value of the admin directory set correctly in includes/config.php

[NTLDR]

I edited and did everything to the letter, No errors. I can't find where it creates the portal page/info to put in and it didn't install its vs to my styles so I'm confused if it actually installed. I have all the options and everything. I'm just dumb i guess hehe Please help me.

You need to setup the options correctly, see the Admin Help for the news forum id option for howto get the value to enter there.

[deepdark]

This two files are in root of the Domain /public_html/
vbindex.php
vbiconfig.php

my forum is on /public_html/forum/

my admin is on /public_html/forum/admincp

what to do now? i am using a VB 3.0.0.

[NTLDR]

Follow the step by step instructions provided within the zip file.

[SolFirex5]

I got it working and all that, but I want my vB's custom header at the top, how do I integrate that? Also I want my vB's custom footer. ANd How do I make custom blocks?

[NTLDR]

Edit the vbindex_header and vbindex_footer templates and see the online help about making custom boxes.

[SolFirex5]

Thanks for the quick response, I'll do that now. Thanks again.

[SolFirex5]

Not to sound dumb or anything, bu thwere are the templates stored? 'Cause I didn't get any in the zip file.

Also to congratulate the designer, I installed the hack, and then upgraded to vB3.0.0 (I installed the portal on RC4) and it survived trmendously.

[NTLDR]

They are in the vbindex_templates.xml file and are imported automatically during the installation :)

[SolFirex5]

OKay...I'll look fo rthem..

vBindex creates a portal page for vB, not a gallery.

[chas_h]

If you use a full URL http://www.myimage.com/forums/image.gif then they will show up correctly everywhere with the exception of post icons on vBindex which expect to be in the format /images/icons/icon.gif

Thanks for responding. That worked but without the preceding '/', in other words I had to use 'images/icons/icon.gif' to get it to work everywhere.

One more question, do the small calendar template hacks from the vbadvanced page that allow 7 days to be shown work on Vbindex? I know I may have asked this a long time ago but I am trying to setup Vbindex on my second site and I haven't used it in a while.

Thanks,
Chas.

[NTLDR]

If your using vBindex 3.0.0 RC4 or RC5 then the calendar has new templates that allow for it to fit 7 days in the standard width side block, take a look at the screenshots in the first post of this thread or the live demo at Core Forums (http://www.coreforums.net/?coreid=2).

I see that, thanks. It's simply a case of choosing 7 days instead of 5. But I notice at the core forums page you have got rid of those little '>' to the left of the calendar and you have also oncorporated the little dropdown button into the same table as the 'Month' title. Any ideas how to fix that? (see attached screen cap.

[NTLDR]

The new style only works with vBindex 3.0.0 RC4 and above, if you have an older version you can copy the edited calendar_ and vbindex_calendar templates from the vbindex_templates.xml file.

If your using RC4/5 and it doesn't appear like that then the templates will be listed as templatename__3.0.0_RCX in the ACP for you to update your customised ones from.

Ok thanks, I'm using Vb3.0 Gold with your Vbindex RC5 but I may have inherited some conflicting templates that are causing that when I imported a couple of styles from my other board that uses the vbadvanced.
Now I know where to look for the problem, thank you!

When you're viewing the online users block as a regular, non-admin member, there are a lot of extra commas for invisible users.

Guys i need help please ..

1- My forum is in the main (Root) directory .. and i've installed the vbindex .. everything is fine but it doesn't seem to be set to the mainpage. I've tried going to the Admincp and changing the Forums' URL and the Homepage URL as well, But no use. i even tried to go to the server and make a redirect but it always gives me an error

the vbindex URL is www.mypage.com/vbindex.php
while the for my forums is www.mypage.com/index.php

question..

Shall i make a new folder called forums ? and put the forums folders in it .. and then trying to install the vbindex again to get the new settings ?
will SQL database recognize the changes and work fine ??

other than that .. the polls and the shout box don't seem to work

when i activate the polls on the vbindex .. it gives me a database error ..

and when i enter something in the shout box and click shout .. it refreshed the page but nothing appears then

waiting for ur reply thanks :tired:

[Davey-UK]

mypage.com????

lets see, and maybe some help can be provided.

If you want vbindex.php to show up when someone enters your site, then you are going to have to set vbindex.php as your url home page within your servers control panel. Otherwise if you call vbindex....index, your forums will not work.

Yes, the best way is to put forum in a /forum folder, and vbindex.php outside that.

[kylek]

One of the nicest easiest hacks to install, thanks to all who took part in this undertaking, Bravo!!!! Now where is that install button,,,,

and i tried setting the vbindex.php to be the homepage but it just wont' work :(

and if i change the forums' position to /forums will the SQL recognize it ? or will it give me errors?

as long as your config.php is pointing to the Proper DB, it will not effect the boards no matter which directory it is in. (if you do it this way, don't forget to update the forums address in your member CP @ vBulletin.com)

I'm guessing you tried to set the portal as your home page right, via the adminCP??

Rename vBindex.php to index.php.

Then

in the adminCP under the option of "Forums Home Page options" may i suggest you set it to a different name other than index(like forums, home, etc...), then all you have to do is rename index.php(webroot directory) to whatever you named it in the admincp, Like so

http://www.nemesisforums.net/neocorteqz/board.png

When visitors view your home page, it will load index.php(which if you renamed vBindex.php) would be your portal page. :)

then all they'd have to do click the link in the navebar at the top to enter the forums, or click on a topic title.

edit: you'd also have to edit the image paths per the Instructions when you first set up the portal, if you were to change the forums directory..

[chris frolic]

ok, interesting. You clicked on my homepage link from here, which is to my older domain name. The site switched to a more concise www.hulla.info some time ago, but we still run the older one as well as a legacy.

Where this gets interesting is:

http://www.hulla.info/index.php/?action=shoutbox will produce the error, and
http://www.hullabaloo-raves.com/index.php?action=shoutbox does not.

It's the exact same site. Any ideas?

[NTLDR]

Shoutbox fix, only apllies if you have people in gloal ignore/user ignore list.

Find in vbindex.php (arounf line 970)

FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."vbindex_shoutbox

Replace with:


FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."vbindex_shoutbox AS shoutbox

When you're viewing the online users block as a regular, non-admin member, there are a lot of extra commas for invisible users.

Is this the Currently online users, or the users online today (if shown) part?

Try this edit in vbindex.php find:


$home['onlinemembertotal']--;
break 1;


Replace with:

$home['onlinemembertotal']--;
continue;


That should fix the error if its the currently online users.

[Tradjick]

Hi!

This is a problem that follows me since vbI RC4.

In the install process of RC5 it loops at step=4 and step=5 it won?t do at all. But even without these steps, it works fine.

The problem comes when i want to export a style updated with vBIndex templates. When re-importing, it always gives me the "invalid XML token" or someting like that.

Also, I have XML files that import well, but give me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Documents and Settings\Teilchenbeschleunige.MACHINE\Desktop\site \index.php(1156) : eval()'d code on line 1 Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in C:\Documents and Settings\Teilchenbeschleunige.MACHINE\Desktop\site \index.php(1181) : eval()'d code on line 42

I?m pretty sure it must have something to do with vBIndex. Because the same style producing the last error works fine with the default index.php

I would be happy if you had a sloution for me, especially for my first problem with the corrupt xml files that refuse to import.

edit:The corrupt xml files either contain something like that: "", replacing a hand of caracters, or something like that:

 ?  ?   ?? ? ???
?? ??w\ ?  *

including the names of current systray processes.

[SpeedysWorld]

vBindex creates a portal page for vB, not a gallery.

I know that, but could there be an add-on to make it have some type of Mini Gallery, I mean how hard could it be? All's you would have to do is add a mini section for picture uploads, I was just wondering, if this is too much work I totaly understand, but I figured I would ask. Is there anyone that could possibly do this?

I don't intend to make one however integrating anything into the side blocks/extra pages is just a case of adding the PHP code to the relevent template.

Add it to the vbindex_customblock_php template within the case X part (where X is the number of the custom block) and then use $boxY_php in the custom block template where you want your output (Where Y is the block number).

PHP will only work in phpinclude_start, phpinclude_end, vbindex_customblock_php and vbindex_extra_php_NAME templates.

[killervette]

Cool...that worked. Now part two. I want to add another box like the centered latest threads window or the news. How can I add the php code so it will show under the latest threads.

[NTLDR]

You'll need to edit vbindex.php and add your code there. PHP powered center blocks arn't supported at the moment.

[killervette]

I tried that...i put it in the latest threads part. It always puts it on the top of the page??? i cant get it to the bottom.

[GoTTi]

the style select option on the index page is not working properly...it will load 1 style, then if u try to change the style in the drop down after you change it once, it will not load.

some1 told me that the New Post link is not working also, but i am not duplicating this problem. vBindex RC3 is what im running right now.

Is there a way to allow HTML in the news block if it's allowed in that forum?

[NTLDR]

HTML should be parsed automaticly if the forum allows it.

[chris frolic]

I tried with an img link that was left justified so the text would flow around it. In the forums it worked fine but on the index all it showed was the html img code.

[Frzzy]

The uninstaller didn't do anything, all the phrases and template were left, it only remove the shout table... any suggestion how to completely remove this hack?

In the CSS for the table header/cat in the style manager add something similar to the following in the Extra CSS Attribute box:

background-image: url(http://wwww.domain.com/forum/images/bg.jpg);

Or if you still have vB's default CSS the edit the URL in the background box.

1) I had vBi 3.0RC3 installed and wanted to automatically upgrade to vBi 3.0RC5. The upgrade installer went fine (no errors). But it didn't do anything to my vbindex_* templates. It also didn't tell me that I had customized templates since 3.0RC3 (although I have customized them).

2) Confused, I loaded the vbiupgrade script again and chose uninstall. Well, to my surprise it didn't do anything to my templates again, there were all still there, even after the uninstall.

So are 1) and 2) both related to bugs in the install/uninstall script or am I doing something wrong? If they are bug-related, I am kinda hesitant to use the installer script at all on my live-system (who knows what other bugs are in there). In this case, perhaps someone can explain how to manually upgrade vBi instead?

It's actually not too hard, first there are six already available to you, just go to you vbindex options, tell the system how many you want to use, then choose which ones you want to use. (i.e. I want three custom blocks, so I tell the system 3, then I can choose either custom blocks 1, 2, or 3, 4, 5, and 6 won't show until I tell the system to use that many.)

Then go to the associated custom block template and adjust your HTML code there.

To add more than that, just go into your vbindex.php and have it preload the next custom block number, and then in your templates add a new custom block with the next highest number and then copy the code from another custom code original and yer good to go.

I have over simplified this, let me know if you don follow.

Are there any size constraints that would limit how much code could be in a vbindex custom block? I'm doing "On this Date..." quote system for my website and I'm going to have to have a paragraph or so of text for every day of the year.

I'm doing it in html and not pulling it from a database.. not much of a programmer.

What custom blocks are you planning to add in the future as an option? Maybe something like vb portal affiliate box?

[NTLDR]

So are 1) and 2) both related to bugs in the install/uninstall script or am I doing something wrong? If they are bug-related, I am kinda hesitant to use the installer script at all on my live-system (who knows what other bugs are in there). In this case, perhaps someone can explain how to manually upgrade vBi instead?

You should have vbindex_*__3.0.0_RC5 templates listed for all those templates you had previously customised. There was a minor bug in the uninstaller that ment only one vBindex template would get deleted.

Edit line 195 of vbiupgrade.php and replace:

WHERE title like LCASE('vbindex')

With:

WHERE title like LCASE('vbindex%')

You can have 16777215 (2^24 - 1) characters in any custom block or any other vBulletin template.

[NTLDR]

None currently, although I'm sure more options and features will be added to them. At the moment its possible for users to easily add content to them due to the dynamic nature introduced in vBindex 3.0.0 RC4.

How can I uninstall this hack ? Also when I upgrade my board any problem future ?

Because add everywhere a lot of style and phrases.

Can I unistall this hack ???


Any comment ???

I can't seem to change the navbar background in the index -> nav template. I sware I have done everything possible. its not my paths they have all been corrected (hense the red gradients in the sample). anyone guide me?

vBindex uses a different navbar template (vbindex_navbar) if you have edited the standard vB one you need to edit this too. The blue should be one of the vB Menu CSS classes towards the bottom.

[weaver]

The new style only works with vBindex 3.0.0 RC4 and above, if you have an older version you can copy the edited calendar_ and vbindex_calendar templates from the vbindex_templates.xml file.

If your using RC4/5 and it doesn't appear like that then the templates will be listed as templatename__3.0.0_RCX in the ACP for you to update your customised ones from.
I had the same issue with previously customized templates. What do I do with the template included with this install? Do I copy and paste the code into my customized templates?

I've also noticed that "Members Online Today" shows ALL of my users which I know is not correct. That is also happening on the main page of my Admin CP. It's showing ALL posts and threads as new today.

One last thing, and I think it's related to the calendar template issue I'm having, but when I click on "April" on my calendar it's adding the beginning of my site url twice which is causing a "page cannot be found" error.

[neocorteqz]

The code works fine, and makes the weather block but when you click on it you are taken to the user CP to add your zip code and I don't see a place for that. Any ideas?

Thanks.
For those who do want to know though. pretty simple, just make a new custom userfield (Either in options, really any place you want though), and in the code wherever it says $bbuserinfo[field5], change the code to whatever the relevent field number is (ie mine is field8). i even made this part of the registration option so they may imput it at registration. Hidden from viewing though. :0

[NTLDR]

You should overwrite or compare the default vBindex ones with your customised ones to make sure all the features are avalible to you.

I've also noticed that "Members Online Today" shows ALL of my users which I know is not correct. That is also happening on the main page of my Admin CP. It's showing ALL posts and threads as new today.

If it happens in the ACP too then its probably some problem with vBulletin itself.

[AlexanderT]

NTLDR,

Is there any reason why you moved the headinclude/navbar/pm_popup_scripts templates out to vbindex_headinclude/navbar/pm_popup_scripts, since RC4? The problem I see is that whenever Jelsoft releases an upgrade with changes in those templates, one must apply the changes twice (normal and vbindex_headinclude/navbar/pm_popup_scripts).

[D|ver]

has anyone an idea how to create a custom box which include today's events?

i tried to include the code vom the vbulletin index.php for the next 5 days events, but without success ;(
but i think, that a "show today's events box" would be really great :)

The problem I see is that whenever Jelsoft releases an upgrade with changes in those templates, one must apply the changes twice (normal and vbindex_headinclude/navbar/pm_popup_scripts).

Because the majority of people who install this hack don't know howto make the numerous changes to these templates so I decided this method was best for the majority.

[weaver]

If it happens in the ACP too then its probably some problem with vBulletin itself.
Any reason why it would start after I installed vbindex?

ETA: It is working normally today. Was it just because it was the first day of using vbindex so everything was new to it?

[DaPro]

Question: Can I move the Latest Threads Centered Block to before the news? I just think it would look better on my fourms.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just edit the VBINDEX template and put $home[news] after the latest threads table.

[Zachariah]

So is there any thoughts of multi-installs ?

IE: install to sub folders in a site each install with different settings: news forum, poll, ect. I was thinking of a portal system for many subjects all pulling data from 1 forum install.

$site / articles
$site / gallery
$site / subject whatever

Each install with its own "settings" and homepage.

I can remove vBindex my Templates (find in core forum) but still in Phrases....How can I remove in Phrases ???

[burnz]

a small suggestion for the vBindex :D

Template: VBINDEX

Find:
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]">

Replace:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" style="margin-bottom:3px">

Find:
$home[leftside]

Add after:
<td width="10">&nbsp;</td>


Find:
$home[rightside]

Add before:
<td width="10">&nbsp;</td>

this will make the table body align with the navbar... :D

[chas_h]

I'm not really sure what this does, do you have an example url for this one?

It will post the avatar in the Welcome Box, but when it isn't enabled the Welcome Box avatar doesn't show up. Perhaps this only happens with the news poster's account...

Is there anyway around this?

What version of vB are you using? And do you store avatars in the database or as files? And is your avatar a custom one or a pre-defined avatar?

[SilverDawn]

Sorry,


We run vb3,
We store the avatars in images/avatars and import them into VB through the admin panel.
It was a predefined avatar that I had previously uploaded to the images/avatars directoy and I imported it using the admin panel.

Use the url to the smilies, instead of the path - worked for me.

Hello ? This can't be true. I have to manually edit all the 60 Standard Smilies ? This can work for some people but we proudly present 1001 Smilies on our domain. How should i handle this please ? I do not want to manually edit 1001 + 60 Smilies on my own.

Hack creator ? Could you please take one action item to find a better solution here for this problem ?

Hint: The old vbhome lite version had a replacement variable like {imageshome} for each style which solved this problem. But with your hack this does not work yet.

Any comments ?

Cheers,

[Pseudomizer]

Addition to my last request:

Performance is also a big thing here. For every http:// link in your source code the client browser opens a complete new session over http. This is a big performance overhead for our amount of smilies. Please help to find a better solution.

Thanks.

Cheers,

[NTLDR]

A script has already been released in this thread by Natch to automatically change all the smilie URLs.

[AlexanderT]

NTLDR, instead of having the user alter his smilies, have you thought of applying a regex on the text containing smilies (add the full url dynamically to them) before "you eval" the templates with it?

Thanks. You got it.

NTLDR ? The main reason for not willing to alter all the smilies to the full URL is the performance issue. Again ... if you alter all smilies to http://blablabla/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif from the original /forum/images/smilies/smile.gif you increase the connections to the server dramatically.

I hope this has made my problem clearer. Do you know what i am talking about now ?

Great hack! But I am having one problem... I upgraded from vb 2.3.4 to vb 3.0 today and everything works fine except vbindex will not display the text from my 'news' posts... I checked the length and it's set to display 150 characters. What could be wrong?

[NTLDR]

Its impossible for me to know the URL to the smilies hence the user needs to adjust them either manually or via the script Natch provided. Plus I feel that having to edit the smilies once at install time greatly out ways the extra processing to search/replace every single page load.

[Pseudomizer]

Then alter them all to /forum/images.... instead of http://.. I don't really see the issue.

Then the forum smilies don't work any more. But brought up a good point.

Question: How about replacing the current smilies location from let's say ./images/smilies/smilie.gif to {smiliefolder}/smilie.gif.

Now the only thing we need is somehow to determine if a user is in the root / or if he is the /forum directory. If we can do this then it would be very easy.

One way could be in a javascript to define SMILIEFOLDER as a variable and to set for the vbindex a different javascript source file then to the forum. But this would not be best way but the easiest.

Please tell me your thoughts.

Cheers,

[NTLDR]

I recommend using either Natch's script to update all the image paths or manually do it. You of course are free to use whichever method you see fit.

What URL is the shoutbox using for the smilies? It should be the same as the news as it uses the same vB function to create the link.

[tobkat]

If I post an event in the calender the url on the portal is wrong: http://www.domain.com/public/calendar.core?do=getinfo&day=2004-4-17&c=1
(the portal is located in the public directory)
But the forum is located at:
http://www.domain.com/forum/calendar.core?do=getinfo&day=2004-4-17&c=1

how can i fix this ?

If this had a banner rotator and a todays events thing as earlier mentioned this would be perfect for me.. Might install later on I think.

I was just noticing that when you have an image file as your category strip it doesnt show up on the vbindex page only on the forum pages, is there anyway to fix this to make it showup on the vbindex pages also?

It's trying to load from this URL, which is obviously not going to work:

http://www.bowlandcentral.com/forum/vbindex.php/images/smilies/smile.gif

Its something to do with the URL you use to visit the site, using http://www.bowlandcentral.com/forum/vbindex.php/ results in the incorrect path for the smilies where as http://www.bowlandcentral.com/forum/vbindex.php (note the lack of the final slash) the smilies work correctly.

You need to edit your CSS for each style as per the install intructions.

If you have uploaded the files as per the install instructions there is no reason why you would get that error.

or is there a reason that its not applying it to my vbindex pages?

"You need to edit your CSS for each style as per the install intructions." how would i go about doing that?

[Dsmed]

will this work with php4 vb? if not, do i only have to change all the php extensions to php4?

Try this edit, in vbindex.php above:

// ## GET POSTERS AVATAR ##

Add:

$news['pagetext'] = unhtmlspecialchars($news['pagetext']);

yes that fixed the html issue. thanks.
