Ok so I have got this think all installed and you can see it at my site www.vorspann.net. It is far from finished but its a start and its coming along. My question to you is this. I am going to start creating other pages now and its a little tricky trying to figure out how. I created a template titled "index_project_evo" and left the template completely blank. I went to the URL just to make sure it worked and this is what showed up...

http://www.vorspann.net/index.php?page=project_evo

Well thats kind of what I wanted and kind of not. I wanted to keep the vB navbar on the tob and the headers, footers and even the recent post column and what not. I didnt however want the Custom Templates there because that is where I wanted to put my content for this page. Can anyone tell me if there is a easy way to get around this?

Thanks alot!
Chris

How do I center the portal? www.football-forums.net/index.php

[Symbian.info]

Ahh, good find... If you'll look in your adv_index.php file for this line of code:

include('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');

Remove that and paste it right below this line instead:

require_once('./global.php');

That should fix the problem. :)

Problem: adv_index.php?page=links

I done that, but still don't work! get now:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: parse_bbcode() in /home/www/adv_index.php on line 556

So how can I fix it??

More problem, the portal don't work any more then !!:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: parse_bbcode2() in /home/www/adv_index.php on line 393

hello, great programm :)

2 Things:
1) Add a warning that your install script might do an alter table to the post table - my load went up to > 50 and i had to stop my apache to let this run through (>1Mio posts..)

2) can i tell vBadvanced to use a certain style?
Thank you
Tom

if you had mYvBindex is the only reason it would alter the post table

no i dont think so, i belive it works on the same idea as the site, whatever style the user is using, it will default to whatever style you have set to default in the ACP :) for guests that is

[Dontom]

if you had mYvBindex is the only reason it would alter the post table
Sure - but a small "If you had mYVbindex installed previously this installer will alter your post table" would be great especially if you are dealing with larger post-tables...

VBadvanced only shows 2 of my posts from the newsforum (http://www.mtb-news.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=106) - the newest and the oldest - what could be causing this?

i wouldnt suggest running the site live while doing this, it should only prologn things

[Wolf42]

Very nice hack. After reading the whole thread I was able to get it work on my testboard. Now I'm able to run vB 3 RC2 instead of vB2 2.3.4 on both of my licenses (AFTER translating the hack in german ;) )

Anyone?

[GuruXL]

Tigga, I don't plan on using this script now, however, it looks promising. I am waiting for the gold release before I start messing with the underlying code in vB3. I am wondering if you can create extra pages that have just the header and footer for vB3 and can it be used with this script to create a page like say: page.php?id=reviews and then load up a reviews page?

Just wondering. Let me know...

[Zachery]

Anyone?
i figured it was better left for tigga to anwser you. :P as i know how to do it but he might know a better way :)

Okay, here's my wish list, a shoutbox and a block that links to Gallery random pics.

[Zachery]

Okay, here's my wish list, a shoutbox and a block that links to Gallery random pics.
Shoutbox wont be default, maybe as an addon id guess :)

You CAN make a block to display random gallery pics your self, but you must remember there are tons of differnt gallery softwares :) so youd be best off making it your self

[NuclioN]

I've problems to include a php on the index. www.cyberty.nl (Two links in centerblock 'headlines') In this centerblock it loads headlines out of a newsscript but the links are stripped so they point to url?actionetcetc. instead of url/news.php?actionetcetc. Maybe this has to do with globals?

how are you trying to include it?

[NuclioN]

In adv_index.php


ob_start();
require("news.php");
$file = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();


And the $file in custom_index5 template

why not just include the file and add the HTML directy into the templates with the varibles?

[NuclioN]

When i include a file in adv_index.php the output is placed above the header. I've tried this with other php files and they do the same. Maybe there is another method?

Hm..a variable! Do you have an example? It would open the door to many more include options if this works. :)

why not do what i said

require_once("./file.php");

now if theres any html with varibles in there, copy it into a template eval this template

eval('$woot = "' . fetch_template('woot') . '";'); before the final call :) i thin that shoudl work

I'm sorry this i don't understand correct. Maybe if you have time you can look at this file that is included to see what and how this must be placed in custom_template3. I hope you can help because this is haunting me for days.

what do you need this extra script for ?

[jancarlo]

@ Tigga

if a user ago login it does not go forum/login.php but login.php, this
avvine if the board is closed to to you.

it happens also with "register" and "forgotten your password".

se un user fa login non va forum/login.php ma login.php, questo avvine se si chiude la board ai non registrati.

did you have a previous version of vBadvanced installed?

[NuclioN]

what do you need this extra script for ?

When managed by a few newspublishers it can become a quick way to read and respond to newsitems. It has a small replyfield under each news ID and stores the reactions under it, you don't need to login the forum for that. Also this newssystem produces a RSS. It can be used as an extra headline source togheter with the forumnews.

This program is freeware and i saw examples where news headlines are stored in sideblocks and when you click on it the full news displays in the center(block) with reactions + reply field to make it interactive. It would be an awesome addon for VBadvanced Homepage i guess.

[Zachery]

vB has a built in RSS feed already

[jancarlo]

did you have a previous version of vBadvanced installed?

I have the version "Powered by: vBulletin Version 3.0.0 Release
Candidates 2"

the problem is born if I close it to guest, if instead I leave
it opened works the all good, why in this case use the navbar for the
login.

hello

[ciaranirl]

Would someone be able to install this for me?

[danbc]

It has, where?

[Tigga]

rinkrat - The gallery you pointed out is not Gallery, it's vBadvanced Gallery and probably won't be available for another couple of months.

jancarlo - You will need to modify the links and form action to point to the full URL to your forums in your "STANDARD_ERROR" template.

ciaranirl - Just follow the instructions in the readme file. The installer does most of the work for you anyways. ;)

[tgmorris]

Thanks for all the effort. I notice that an older error is still alive in the index template though for users that will use the Login block.

This line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="$vboptions[bburl]/clientscript/md5.js"></script>

Should be:
<script type="text/javascript" src="$vboptions[bburl]/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js"></script>

[digitalSite]

Does vbAdvanced help me add certain features from my forum on my "existing" home page?...meaning, my home page is NOT a template not script, but my own web site front page.

Any help is appreciated!

I installed the hack with no difficulty, but I have one small problem.. On the forum home and index home, the icons wont appear. They are located within the right directory, yet appear as a broken image. Smileys on the home page appear as a broken image too, and I have no idea why o_O

Any clue? The skin I'm using all have the /forum/path set so I dunno whats up! Any help would save me :)

[tgmorris]

A couple of minor items that I bumped into while checking error logs.

$index_footer uses $cronimage which has a relative path to cron.php. This not only generates an error it means cron doesn't run from the adv_index page - which normally wouldn't be a big deal. I added
$index_footer = str_replace('"cron.php', "\"$vboptions[bburl]/cron.php", $index_footer);
after the index_footer template is eval'd.

The 2nd minor item deals with the usage of "$vboptions[cleargifurl]". If the definition is changed to a path such as '/forums/clear.gif' or a full absolute path then things break when using the admincp as values such as '../$vboptions[cleargifurl]' are used within the code. I reverted my definition back to "clear.gif" and just placed a copy of the image in my web root directory for now.

i belive placing it in the root dir is probally the best option :)

and im sure tigga will look into fixing the cron problem :)

Come on no one can tell me how to do this? Please?
I ended up making an extra index.php renamed to nav.. and change the templates around to use a secondary template set.. so that I can place my code anywhere I want.

Tigga made a goodjob with vbadvanced.. I just modded the hell out of it.. basicly its a diffrent type of vbadvanced ;)

almost as close as phpportals.

I am a newbie so excuse my ignorance but i would be grateful for any links / advice. I have installed the vBadvance hack but can't get any side blocks working be it calendar, poll etc.

thanks in advance

did you login to the ACP and change any of the vBoptions?

[DaQuixlet]

QUESTION GUYS!

I installed the script without a problem. But there is no portal when people go to my website. Why is this? Do I have to set the domain to a certain link?

Where is the portal located?

[Zachery]

did you read the install file?

[mbanje]

I have read the install file and followed it to the letter and all has installed okay. I even mnaged to install the Arcade which is more complicated than the Vbadvanced homepage. I just cannot seem to get the side blocks to appear. I purchased 2 licences and when installing Vbulletin myself there were 13 steps. My colleague installed the same version and there were 42 steps. I am totally confused. The Vbulletin forum is working ok. Help, please.

Hey All
Well looks like there may still be one bug, read all thru the post, didn't see a comment on it, just downloaded the file yesterday, had no issues installing it.

vb 3.0 RC 2

Seems that on refreshing the buddy list is adding dupes to your buddy list, on inital navigation to the front page, the buddy list displays the names only once.

After a refresh it begins to add duplicate listings of ppl in your buddy list.

Has anybody seen this yet or is it just me?

Hi, I am having a cookie problem. Logging in from the main page (so the welcome panel works) doesn't work. :\

I went through the template (the main one), and set all form references to be on the $vboptions[bburl] (or equivillant variable... I don't remember what its called).

My forum is a vB 3 RC2, and installed on a sub domain. My Cookie path is '/' w/o the single quotes, and my cookie domain is blank. vB told me to put these settings in, although they ahve been causing more problems than they've solved...

Any ideas on why the login won't work?

Try changing the reference to md5.js in the index template to vbulletin_md5.js and see if that solves the problem. You may also try it without the login panel and use the navbar to see if the problem disappears.

Hi,

Great Hack !!
I installed no issues and setup seemed straight forward for a newish hacker - so thanks ! :D

Only one slight issue - used your latest version of the file - running a clean install of VB3 RC2 in a subdirectory...

Everything fine except the smiles from the news article are missing - I check the path and it misses the fact it is in a subfolder....
All other images are fine - I have tried entering in the full URL path to the images/smiles folder - I have also tried the relative UNIX path - but alas the smiles show in the forum but not in the adv_index page....

Any idea's much appreciated - I have checked and re-checked paths...

Also noticed the footer links on adv_index for admin and mod panels were incorrect - but contact us ect fine - I manually changed the paths in the index/footer template in admin to resolve this - not sure if that is a bug or not ?

Cheers in advance for any offerings of support and help - Great/fantastic Hack all the same !!

[Tigga]

snakes1100 - The buddylist problem is something I haven't heard of before... Does it display the duplicate names on the online users part as well (assuming you have that enabled)? They both use the same query and method to display things, so I would *think* that if there was an issue that it would be present there too. Have any of your other members mentioned the problem? Can you post here or PM me with a link to your site so I can have a look?

RobAC - Just copy the HTML code for the latest threads part and put it in the center table cell, either above or below the $newsbits variable.

alzibub - The install file *should* have modified all of your image paths for you. Did the script show any images that it wasn't able to find the correct path for? Can you post a link to your site here so I can take a look?

From what I can remeber of the install - it seemed to find all images - but i was kinda doing the scan quick RTFM.... :surprised:

Ok - as requested - link :)

Massive thanks in advance

[Tigga]

Well right now the path to your smilies is pointed to "images/smilies". That would need to be changed to "/hogwarts2/forums/images/smilies" to work.

[alzibub]

Thanks for that...

Edited path for smiles and post icons as above - all working great ! :)
Cheers for your time and also a great Hack !!!

I got the portal installed pretty much without a hitch and it's great. I just had to change the paths for the gradients in my styles and copy clear.gif into the root directory. Though I figured that out before reading the post earlier in the thread. And the vbulletin_md5.js fix helped a few members who were having issues. I didn't notice that the bottom page links didn't work until yesterday when someone else tried. That was easily fixed by adding $vboptions[bburl]/ in front of the links.

I was able to change the threadbits (Latest Threads) to show the time and link to the profile of the last poster which I prefer.

Hi, I'm trying to add "Tungsten's Welcome Panel v3.5 (Re-Release)" to my index page, instead of the block that comes by default. However, I'm having a problem with the login. I changed all references to files within the form, etc to be $vboptions[bburl]/* instead of just being what they were.

Is there something else I need to do?

My index is located at http://www.anirpg.com/adv_index.php

And one more thing, I have a counter by SiteMeter. However, when I try to add the counter code, its like it breaks the tables. Even if its self contained in its own table, div, or span.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

Comparing your code to the original, the only difference I can really see is that you've got your script reference inside the form instead of just before it. Try putting it outside the form on the line before it and see if that works for you.
<script type="text/javascript" src="$vboptions[bburl]/clientscript/md5.js"></script>
<form action="$vboptions[bburl]/login.php" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)">

I'm having problems running this hack with vbulletin 3.0.0 RC3

May be necessary upgrade this hack for the RC3 version ?

To see the error message follow this link:

How do I adjust the lenght of my calendar so that it will match the size of the other side blocks I have on my portal?

Acido, just a follow up...how would I disable the arrow links in the calendar block?

Sorry Jaliam, i cant help you with that (i'm too newbie). But i'm sure that others guys help you in this topic. :)

[Symbian.info]

yes i belive it just needs moving ^^

Alonewolf, if youd like a link on the front page that ONLY shows on the front page, but on the forums it shows a link back to the front page

try this

open adv_index.php

find define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
add under define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adindex');
open your navbar and find


WHen I do: under define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adindex'); I get a PHP error
Do I: define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adindex');

No error and it works! But what is the correct way?

[Tigga]

Acido - Judging by the error, it looks like vBulletin may have added a "filesize" column to one of the other tables that is joined in that query. Try opening your adv_index.php file and looking for "filesize," (without the quotes) and change that to "attachment.filesize," (again, wthout the quotes). I haven't even looked at RC3 yet, but hopefully that will be the only issue. If you have any more problems though let me know.

jaliam - You sould use the instructions and make the changes to functions_calendar.php and the template modifications to fix that problem. ;)

Symbian.info - The second bit of code should be correct. I think the "under" part may have been meant to be part of the instructions (Add under). ;)

[Acido]

Try opening your adv_index.php file and looking for "filesize," (without the quotes) and change that to "attachment.filesize," (again, wthout the quotes)

Thats solve my problem :)

Big Thanx Tigga !

I did a upgrade to RC3, after that the news and last post don't work (templates gone), try to upgrad and install vBadvanced but also that don't work :disappointed:

So maybe uninstall and then install may work..

all you should have to do is run the install again

Symbian did you edit your templates at all ?

usualy templates that are edited wont get deleted

[Symbian.info]

The edit templates are still there (index and custom)! But the rest is missing, also the vBadvanced Phrases and the Dutch translations are gone :devious: :disappointed:

I try to install but get error that the tables already are there (offcourse!)
So must try uninstall?

can if you need to, but my best advice is to wait for Brain's feedback

[Symbian.info]

can if you need to, but my best advice is to wait for Brain's feedback
Did a uninstall, everthing gone. new install. new setting in admin, Import Language file(ok)
Then change the index and costum_x templates again. So everthing is running again.

Pretty that the upgrade don't work.. (good hat I have backups from Language and templates;)

So very happy again!

[Tigga]

You should have waited just a few more minutes Symbian. :p
Apparently the upgrade script for RC3 removes quite a bit if it's not a vBulletin default setting, phrase, etc. Hopefully there will be a way around this for future versions. I'm hoping to release the next version of this script soon, so I will be sure to see if there are any solutions to these problems before that release.
For anyone that's upgraded, I've thrown together a quick & dirty upgrade script. It's the same as the install script, just with some things modified to only make the necessary changes. Just download the script from this post, upload it to your admincp directory, and run the script in your browser.
You will also need to open your adv_index.php file and look for "filesize," (without the quotes) and change that to "attachment.filesize," (again, wthout the quotes).

[AshAbed]

The edit templates are still there (index and custom)! But the rest is missing
i added probably around 100 pages through this portal... is there any way to keep those templates i added?

[Tigga]

Yes, any custom templates you added will still be there after the upgrade.

[mello_mike]

I'm having a major problem installing this.

I've done everything up to the point of using the advindex_install.php

When I click "Click here to continue to step 4 -->"

It forces me to try and download the advindex_install.php file. After I press "Click here to continue to step 4 -->" again.. it goes to the page but gives me a database error.

[dontpanic]

OK, I may have missed this in the last 24 pages, but I don't think so.

Looking at my root: http://www.mcseworld.com/

Lots of basic images are not showing up. I took care of the issues with the smilies and post icons RE the cache needed to be updated...but I cannot figure this one out. I did make the image path change as required.

Anyone????

[dontpanic]

Hmm, oddly enough, it appears to have "fixed itself..." :ermm:

[NuclioN]

Hm..it won't install. After upgrading to vb3 rc3 the index gives a permanent db error. I've uninstalled, and installed again but it gives a db error during installation.

lol well it might be my fault i did not upload the few files that i had hacked all board works fine besides index.

[Tigga]

That was mentioned earlier today and I posted the fix, but I didn't think to mention that change in the post with the upgrade file. Just open your adv_index.php file and look for "filesize," (without the quotes) and change that to "attachment.filesize," (again, wthout the quotes).

Upgrade to RC3 went smooth.

[NuclioN]

Error:

Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO vb3_phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '-1', 'settinggroup_vbadv_index', 'vBadvanced Homepage Settings', '5000')
mysql error: Duplicate entry 'settinggroup_vbadv_index--1-5000' for key 2

[Tigga]

NuclioN - I'm assuming you got that from the RC3 upgrade script, right? Were all your phrases and such removed during the upgrade? It should have removed that phrase as well if it removed the rest, so you may want to double check and see if the others were removed. If they were, try finding this bit of code in that file and removing it:
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase (phraseid, languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (NULL, '-1', 'settinggroup_vbadv_index', 'vBadvanced Homepage Settings', '5000')");

Where to check if the frases were removed, phpmyadmin, the phragemanager? I don't even know which frases i've to look for. I must first open the install file and look for each one of them?

[PET]

hi there.

I have a problem.
I have created a new templated called index_regulament where i have normaly put the thext that i want. Now i get this error when i'm trying to access the index_regulament page. This is the error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: parse_bbcode() in C:\apache\htdocs\ro-hattrick\vb\index.php on line 555

index.php is acutaly the vBadvanced index. I get this only when i'm trying to acces the new page :

http://localhost/ro-hattrick/vb/index.php?page=regulament

Can you help me ?

[Tigga]

Nuclion - Just go to your phrase manager, then select "vBadvanced Homepage" from the select field near the top of that page. There should be about 15 phrases under that IIRC.

PET - See this post for the fix - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=458124&postcount=53

[NuclioN]

Tnx Tigga..i did it the 'non sleep' method by deleting all the templates in phpmyadmin and then import a fresh vb language. It worked. :)

Ofcourse i have to spend more time to find the solutions for other problems such as the calendar and the login block and the full url's and where to put them. This is a great addon and i hope you can make an update soon where all those problems are history.

[Tigga]

Well I'm actually working on the next version right now. The problem with the phrases being removed after a vB upgrade is a simple fix, but the templates will most likely always be removed. That one's not a big deal though since it only removes any that you haven't customized, plus there's the option in the installer to only install the templates. ;)
What do you mean about the problems with the login block and calendar? There aren't any issues with either of those that I'm aware of...

Ah...i forghot. I have a question :

I want to create another news page. Like the normal NEWS...but on other category. How can i do that ?

For exemple the first page load's the NEWS forum. If i click on a new link i want it to load the "BLABLA" forum.

[AshAbed]

if i upgrade to vb3 rc3 will the new templates i created be deleted(the ones like index_page)?
thanks

[RobAC]

Probably a stupid question....but how do you add custom blocks to the index page? There are provisions for handling index_custom1 and index_custom2, but I don't see any instructions on how to add more custom blocks?

[Milhouse]

OK i have VB RC3 installed, I downloaded the vbadvanced from the 1 st post followed all instructions everything went smooth. However I have one Minor problem. When a guest gets to the main page, it asks them to login or register. Well however all the links are linking to the wrong place.

ie.( regisger.php should be /forums/register.php
ie.(login.php should be /forums/login.php

Basically all links avaialable including those in the footer, for archive, contact aer all linking wrong.. not sure what I did wrong. In vb options the home URL and the forums URL is set correctly, just the index page is not linking right.

I looked through these 26 pages and found a few related problems but not exactly specifying the same. Any help would be great. Thanx

As i stated, vb3 rc3 is a fresh install. No modyfications have been done to it. I simply downloaded the zip file from the first post in this thread. Followed all instructions. All went smooth, all linked fine as far as news, polls, etc.

If I am at the portal page and logged in, everything is linking fine to the forums. news, poll, pm's latest threads. However the bottom footer that has ADMIN/ MOD/ Archive all those link wrong.

If a gues comes they will have to register/login/forget pass, all those links are wrong as well as the footer.

I have not made any changes, and used the templates that come in the zip file.

Even the forumjump links don't work. They also link to the wrong place.

if your using the default header / footer templates you shouldnt have too much if any problems

[Milhouse]

OK ignore het above problem. It seems i woudl have to edit the standard_errors template to reflect the correct url. So instead i changed the guests access to be ablve to view the board but need to register and that is fine. Here is one little problem,

The index_newsbits as a varable $newsicon , That $newsicon is linking to the wrong place so it displays a nice big RED X . It is pointing to /images/icons/... instead of /forums/images/icons/...

How would i go abotus of changing that variable to reflect the correct path.

[Zachery]

icon manager in the ACP :) not sure where it is off the top of my head :)

[Milhouse]

That won't do anything. it's the variable $newsicon in the index_newsbits template that is wrong. If i go to post icon manager and look at the icon it is linked fine there and it displays fine in the forum. But in the portal page it shows a nice big X

[RobAC]

Is it possible to add a random block function? For example, I want to add a random quote box to my vBadvanced home page that would add a random quote from a list of quotes in a text file in the block each time the user refreshes their browser. How can this be programmed?

As someone mentioned either here or on vb.com, even though settings are automatically inputted, they don't always stick. In this case it is necessary to "Save" the instruction anyway even when it appears correctly. I've had to go to my smilies and click save on them anyway to make them work with the index page.

How can I show my forums when someone klicks on a Link. The forums should appear instead of the news.
I tried it with a Link '<a href="adv_index.php?page=index>Forum</a>' in the template 'index_custom1'.
Nothing I tried worked. Is it possible ??

Thx for any help

[trinitym]

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before, there are so many posts to go through that I just skimmed and I probably missed it.

I've noticed that if a newsbit that posts to the font page contains a large block of quoted text using the tags, when it gets cut off per the character count specified it leaves out the end div tag and throws the whole layout out of wack. Is there a way around this?

If I missed it can someone link me? Thanks!

[Zachery]

If only it was that easy.. LOL i tried it with no luck the icons display on forums but not on the portal
Milhouse can you send me an admin login account? ill be happy to take a look at whats up
make sure i have full admin rights and am not just a admin, if you dont edit the admin permissions i cant help. :)

[eger]

im trying to find the previous version so i can compare what might have changed to fix the problem... i'm guessing it may just be a small typo or somethin like the previous.

[ImportPassion]

I am getting the blank page issue myself. New install of vBA with RC3. I have no clue what the prob is.

[ImportPassion]

appears to be craping out on this

globalize($_REQUEST, array('page' => STR));

I did some echo tests and the output appears everywhere b4 this line but not after, but it isn't throwing any errors?

[AutomatikStudio]

I've read all the posts here about fixing to make the post icons and smilies show up on the front page...but I just can't get them to work. I'm using direct paths to my images (http://boards.site.com/images/....) but it's just not working. When I check my source code for the front page it's showing the images as being linked like this: images/icons/ .....so i'm a bit confused. I can't give you a link to my site b/c it's closed as I upgrade to RC3

[ImportPassion]

this is weird. If I delete lines 3-77 and run it, I get no errors?!

[digitalSite]

Tigga, I Love the plurplanet.com site! That is the look I have been searching for about a year now! Can you show me how you made it? Or at least point me to the right direction on how to create those "faded" images? I am looking for a red/black fade.

Because your site has the look that I want, I am moving to vbAdvanced and upgrading my vb. PLEASE let me know what I have to do to put those faded images in the boxes.

Your help and advice is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks! :D

When I select the news forum I got an error like this :

Any ideas?

What did you enter in the chdir line in your adv_index.php file?
Here is what I posted in the chdir line in my adv_index.php file.

chdir('/home/bibletr/public_html/forums')

What is wrong with this directory? Please advise so I can work on my portal again. Thanks very much.

And now, I got these lines...

I am getting an error on the index page when I insert the news forum ID in the control panel. It comes up with a database error.

Everything else seems to work fine, I have selected the correct forum ID number and try selecting other ID's to ensure my news one is not causing trouble.

Can anyone help with this.

Found that its the option "show news avatar" that causes the error, I have just diasbled it for the moment but I would assume its something to do with the path to the avatar thats the problem?

I could be wrong but, Your forums images such as smile and all are located at www.board-site.com/forums so you need the image folders to use ...../forums/images/icons/ not images/icons/You mis-read. I said that I had changed it to /forums/images/......but for some reason it's showing up as just images/

[rinkrat]

I have another request. It would be nice to make custom templates with just the left sidebar visible for wide tables and other pages. Maybe call it with index?pageleft= or something. This would be very cool since having both the left and right sidebars on every page really limits space for content.

When we finish setting stuff up id guess :)

[digitalSite]

:ermm: Okay, I give up!

I cannot get vbAdvanced to work right on my forum. I have a brand new vb 3.0 Cand 3.

I have spent three hours trying to figure out how to do the following on the front page, so right now, my brain is fried:

1) Log in Box
2) News Box
3) Mini Calendar with the link to events
4) This is a closed forum for only registered members, so my biggest problem is permissions, I guess.

I don't want unregistered users to view anything on the forum except for the posted news and the calendar of events.

Right now, all of my images don't show. I installed this hack three times, but it only updates smily paths. I think the reason why I can't see the images is maybe because of the permissions? I am not sure.

Can someone PLEASE PLEASE guide me through this??? I am about to rip my hair out and all I can hear myself say is: "Whooosssssaaaaa, Whoooosssaaa."

ANY help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

all good :) i think i got everything fixed :)

[TheEDIGuy]

Tigga and Faranth, remember when I installed a while back, and I said that the calendar events weren't showing up on the index page? I found out why, but not how to fix it.

What's happening is that only events that *I* add to the calendar show up. Since I have another (supermod) who does regular calendar additions, none of her additions show up on the front page.

Any ideas?

By the way, just installed on a fresh RC3, and things look great. Nice job!

Hi all:

Does anyone know:

1) Why all my images except "icons" folder don't show?
I have searched everywhere to make sure I have absolute paths for my images so that it shows, but I can't find where to tell vb where to go for the icons folder.

2) How I can make my vb forum as wide as the screen? I check the "index" template on vb, and it shows 100%, yet the forum is very narrow on a 1024 x whatever resolution.

3) How to prevent non-registered users from seeing the main FORUM page (i.e. forums/index.php) - It shows too much info to non registered user on my site, i.e. Who's Online, etc. I don't want anyone who is not registered to view the forum at all.

If I block non-registered users from "Viewing the Forum" then my vbAdvanced page doesn't work because then you'll just see the "You are not allowed to view this page, login, etc." page.

I'm sorry for all the questions, but I only had 3 hours of sleep last night messing with the new vb 3.0 C 3 and still haven't had this site up running properly.
It messed up another program I was running so I have been trying to get that fixed too (looks like I overwrote an "index.php" by accident and that's where the whole thing messed up.)

Anyway, I would appreciate any help :D Thank you.

Hi:
Have you tried checking "Usergroups"?
After clicking usergroups, click Supermod.
Then scroll down to the Calendar permissions and check there.

[TheEDIGuy]

Hi:
Have you tried checking "Usergroups"?
After clicking usergroups, click Supermod.
Then scroll down to the Calendar permissions and check there.
The supermod is able to add things to the calendar just fine. But the items that the supermod adds to the calendar don't show on the front page (they do not cause a clickable link under the day in the mini-calendar). Only items that *I* add produce the clickable link.

If you look at the calendar, however, everything shows, regardless of who added it.

Sample at http://www.fansofrealitytv.com

Cali, a supermod, has added most of the items except for the one item I (the admin) added on the 22nd, which has produced the only clickable link (even though every single day has calendar items).

read that

you sorta need to let them view at least the news forum.

closing off your board to all guests isnt a good idea

1 you still need to update your counters and stuff :)
* Clicks install *

Ok, I have made some modifications in my portal already but I want to do more. How about making an image display on the main page instead of a simple image path? This is what I am talking about...
enable BB code and img code for the front page :)

[digitalSite]

Okay. My web site is only for certain members of an organization. Guests can still view vbAdvanced on the front page, but they cannot read the entire article though.

Basically, the reason I did this was because I am using the referral system and WISH that only those with a referral can get inside. But since that doesn't exist,

I have guests get referred by current members, verify their email, and then must be approved by me, while double-checking with the referrer to make sure they did invite them in. It's too bad I have to do this one by one.

Because of the referral system, I did not want tguests to view forum members' username, which would allow them to register by entering in the referral ID - one less security wall for me. So that's why I didn't want them viewing anything on the forum.

P.S. Why isn't it a good idea for me to block out guests? Was the counter update to me?

If anyone has an easier system of "only referred guests can enter" please let me know. Thanks!

well i guess if your going to get alot of invite traffic...

yes you do need to update the counters

i think this could be solved with a conditional but im not sure

[digitalSite]

Hmm..weird. I rebuilt everything, last time you told me to do so. I will try it again. Yes, I do get a lot of traffic because I am in a sorority and there are so many people who want to get in, lol.

Anyway, thanks for your help...I don't know how to mess with conditionals, but on my old board I just followed the steps to make "birthday field" required and just applied it that way to "referral" field. I am not sure if it will work on 3.0 though.

Also, know why my older icons are not working? Thanks...I have updated my counters now. Please let me know if you still see a problem.

Copy down your navbar and header template into the index_header template.. and modify the links so that it searches under your forums folder.

question
I want to add this to being my homepage, but my forums is in the sites root directory so that would mean over-writing the Vbulletin Index page,
any way i can have this as my homepage AND create a link to the actual forums in the navbar?

Like I told Auto..

copy your header and navbar templates into your index_header ( manipulate it so that everything looks right)

and edit your hyperlinks as you see fit.

[digitalSite]

Copy down your navbar and header template into the index_header template.. and modify the links so that it searches under your forums folder.

If you still don't get it let me know :)

Hehe, I don't get it :D

You mean copy the code in both navbar and header templates and paste them inside index_header template, then change the links? Is this correct?

Anyone? :disappointed:

did you run the upgrad process?

[FastAttack]

Hehe, I don't get it :D

yes thats correct.

[ImportPassion]

did you run the upgrad process?
upgrade of what? I am using v1.01 and vb rc3. all new install. never had a prev install.

[FastAttack]

Anyone? :disappointed:
did you run the install script? that should be the reason why you get a blank page.

and my fellow automotive site maker check it out : http://www.srtforums.com

btw I figured out the user control box problem :D . it ended up being a simple call back error on the html page. I am thinking I got a bad download.

I am replacing the active topics of the portal with this one :

http://www.srtforums.com/forums/activetopics.php

[ImportPassion]

yes, i ran the install script.

[FastAttack]

yes, i ran the install script.
did you use the new installer he put out? and did you do the code changes to the index file ?

[Milhouse]

Milhouse can you send me an admin login account? ill be happy to take a look at whats up
make sure i have full admin rights and am not just a admin, if you dont edit the admin permissions i cant help. :)

Unfortunately no i cannot do that. However i can assure you that the setting within the forums are correct and actually are at default from teh VB install.

It is vbadvanced that is linking to the wrong place. It uses the $newsicon variable however that varable it self does not exist or is linking to the wrong place. If you tell me what to put in the template instead of that variable i will change it.

[ImportPassion]

did you use the new installer he put out? and did you do the code changes to the index file ?
i don't know if it is a new installer. I have v 1.01
yes, i did the code changes. I am not new to hacking vb, but this has got me stumped.

In a prev post a mentioned that if I remove lines 3-77, I don't get an error.

[M.C.]

so what the problem with database and attachements? i did clean install as well, no prev installations, RC3

[Zachery]

check my post on the first page please :)

[ImportPassion]

i went back to the installer to just install templates, but that step 3 seems to not exist in the installer?

[Zachery]

wierd, im now having problems as well >.< im not sure why

Hi guys,

Firstly thanks for the great addon. I'm new to vB and vBadvanced but they're both fantastic from my short fiddle with them. I noticed a post earlier in this thread but cant seem to find a reply on the same topic.

I want to include as a custom block a random post from a specific forum. If anyone could help me out with the coding for this it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks again for the great addon and great forum support.

Cheers
Krit

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still a blank page

[digitalSite]

yes thats correct.

Well, I tried that and although it keeps my front page looking normal, my icons are still not showing. Only some, but the newer ones are not showing. I changed all the links in the index_header template by adding /forums/ in front of them, but I don't know how it fixes the icons which are below the header area.

Anyway...we'll see what happens. I guess I will uninstall vbAdv and try it again and this time not have a "default" icon.

Thanks.

the default icon is changed in admincp options and as far as editing your index header template why not change the folder and add /forums/ uders the image icons in the styles edit options.

[digitalSite]

If I understand you correctly, you are saying to go to edit templates and look for where they have "Latest Threads" and just add "/forums" in front of the icon variable...if this is what you are saying, I have already tried this.

This is what the threadbit template looks like:


<!-- cut -->
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow">$thread[icons]<span class="smallfont"><b><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]" title="$vbphrase[a_last_post_by] $thread[lastposter] $vbphrase[a_at] $lastposttime">$title</a></b><br />
<if condition="$vboptions['showthreaddate']">$thread[date] $thread[time]<br /></if>
<!-- cut -->


Notice the $thread[icon]...if I do this /forums/$thread[icon] then all the threads on the latest threads column show /forums/ in front of the title of the thread. What's so weird is that everything there seems to be "relative" and works fine...all but the icons. Now, I can have it looking nice & pretty if I just don't select an icon (because I left the default icon url empty when I installed this again), but I don't want to. I want the icons to work...So, right now I am looking inside the actual "index.php" page to see what else I may try to do.

[Zachery]

its not somthing you can just do $thread[icon] is whats pulling it. and its a database call :)

[digitalSite]

If anyone knows some of this stuff, please let me know if you can help. This is what the Thread Icon stuff looks like in the index page:


// Thread Icon
if ($vboptions['showthreadicon'])
{
if (!$thread['iconid'])
{
if ($vboptions['showdeficon'])
{
$thread['icon'] = '<img src="' . $vboptions['showdeficon'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $thread['icontitle'] . '" />';
}
else
{
$thread['icon'] = '';
}
}
else
{
$thread['iconpath'] = $iconcache["$thread[iconid]"]['iconpath'];
$thread['icontitle'] = $iconcache["$thread[iconid]"]['icontitle'];
$thread['icon'] = '<img src="' . $thread['iconpath'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $thread['icontitle'] . '" />';
}
}

$getbgrow = getrowcolor();
eval('$threadbits .= "' . fetch_template('index_threadbits') . '";');
}
$DB_site->free_result($threads);
unset($thread);
}


So, i guess i will play with this, lol.

eval('$threadbits .= "' . fetch_template('index_threadbits') . '";');
}
$DB_site->free_result($threads);
unset($thread);
}

just a note to you. if your using a standard vB3 style and not a vB2. all your counters have been updated and both your post icons and smilies have been given correct paths they should all be displaying fine

however if you cannot figure out what is wrong just copy the corosponding folders into the root dir and your problems will be solved quicker that way

[CarolinaKid]

If I understand you correctly, you are saying to go to edit templates and look for where they have "Latest Threads" and just add "/forums" in front of the icon variable...if this is what you are saying, I have already tried this.

<if condition="$vboptions['showthreaddate']">$thread[date] $thread[time]<br /></if>
<!-- cut -->


Notice the $thread[icon]...if I do this /forums/$thread[icon] then all the threads on the latest threads column show /forums/ in front of the title of the thread.

not exactly forget about templates. when you go to styles manager do not click nothing bet go that will take you to main style options like colors, style width and such there you should have the correct folder. Also go the the icon manager and smile manager and see what the folders there are i have mine set to /forums/.... there also.

[digitalSite]

Copy what corresponding folders? You mean upload all the smileys again? I've done that a few times already. I just finished deleting vbAdv again and reinstalling it. Then I went through all the icons and clicked the checkbox so they are all updated.

All my smileys and icons in the forum display with no problems. The problem is only on the vbAdvanced index page. It just doesn't want to look into the /forums/ folder and just goes straight to /images/

In admincp there are paths to every image folder except for icons ??? It would have made life so much easier if there was an "icons" folder and I could just define it there...am I missing it? Because I don't see it in admin cp. <sigh>

Yup...already went to "Post Icons" area a few times and checked the path of every icon there. Any other ideas? lol. Did the admincp Styles & Templates thing last night. All have correct path to /forums/images/ etc.

Updated counters a few hundred times already, clicking on every single process.
Deleted my cache from computer (thinking it may be just me), deleted Temp Internet files, deleted cookies, rebooted computer, etc. Still...icons that seem fine in the "News" area on my forum, don't want to show on the front page.

There HAS to be something I am missing.

Where can I find out what is inside 'iconpath'?

else
{
$thread['iconpath'] = $iconcache["$thread[iconid]"]['iconpath'];
$thread['icontitle'] = $iconcache["$thread[iconid]"]['icontitle'];
$thread['icon'] = '<img src="' . $thread['iconpath'] . '" border="0" alt="' . $thread['icontitle'] . '" />';

i dont see how its possible to be honestsly

[digitalSite]

Right, that's what I'm saying. You can go here and see my site:
[edited]
You will see the broken icons...I will add a few more test posts.

Faranth, if you want, log back into my site and you update the counters or whatever, then refresh my page and you'll see that it stays as a broken image. I have ran out of ideas. :(

[Zachery]

imo the quick fix would be to remove $thread[icon] as i dont think there entiry nessary or copy the folders into the corospodnig locations

/admincp/image.php?do=modify&table=icon all urls should be /forums/images/icons/xxxx
then check admin options>>sitename/url/contact info and make sure forums url is http://www.site.com/forums and make sure homepage url is http://www.site.com
I am using rc3 and this set up and all works fine. Also check Vboptions>>thread dispaly options(showthread) and make sure default thred icon is set to /forums/images/icons/xxxx

(note replae xxxx in both places with image name such as icon1.gif, also replace www.site.com ith ur domain name.)

this is where ur url is pointing http://www.dstcentral.com/images/icons/icon5.gif
is icon5.gif ur default icon if so follow directions about to fix

[digitalSite]

Thanks all for your help and suggestions :)

CarolinaKid, I followed your instructions and all my settings were set and still no difference.
I did notice that the default icon works only if no "news" has an icon, and that if I "CHOOSE" an icon, it will show broken.

So in summary, I guess my forum is "different", lol and requires me not to choose an icon.

Thank you again Faranth...I may just delete the icon thingy, or just not put an icon and let the default icon take care of it for me.

THANKS ALL! :)

[juno]

quick fix for icons on front page:

create a replacement variable that

Searches for: images/icons
replaces with: forums/images/icons

**edit**
damn, but that breaks your forum icons.. grrr

[digitalSite]

Didn't work for me...

For whatever reason, I tried to post in my forum and icons were broken.
Their path were all: /forums/forums/images/icons

[GameMania]

[Zachery]

Didn't work for me...

try ./forums/images/icons

looks like you tried to add somthing or have somthing else installed into the navbar

The supermod is able to add things to the calendar just fine. But the items that the supermod adds to the calendar don't show on the front page (they do not cause a clickable link under the day in the mini-calendar). Only items that *I* add produce the clickable link.

If you look at the calendar, however, everything shows, regardless of who added it.

Sample at http://www.fansofrealitytv.com

Cali, a supermod, has added most of the items except for the one item I (the admin) added on the 22nd, which has produced the only clickable link (even though every single day has calendar items).
A little more information on this, with some screen captures to help explain...

Picture 1: The actual calendar in the forum's calendar page, with all links to all events.

Picture 2: The calendar on the front page, with only the link to the event I added myself on the 22nd.

Picture 3: My event on the 22nd.

Picture 4: One of Cali's public events on the 23rd that doesn't show on the front page. She's a supermod, userid=3, and is adding events to calendar #1 like me.

Please forgive the newbie question. This may be more vB than vbadv related, but the issue is more pronounced with vbadv. How can I force vbadv page to take up more of the page? With the 3 columns, the center column showing the news is rather narrow. How can I make this bigger/wider?

[Zachery]

its a style issue

id suggest taking a look at the gamma release thread at vbulletin.com

AutomatikStudio - Go to your icon manager in your Admin CP, modify one of the icons, and save it. You don't actually have to change anything there, but just save the icon. That should update the icon cache for all of them and fix the problem with the icons.
As for the PM problem - Are you running the most current version of this script? That was an issue in one of the earlier versions, but was fixed. Did you by chance replace $index_footer with $footer in your index template? If so, that could also be the cause.

rinkrat - Something like that would be fairly easy to do with conditionals. Just find the beginning <td> tag for the column you would like to disable, and add <if condition"!$page"> before that, and then </if> after the ending </td> tag.

13th_Disciple - I'm *hoping* to have the site up sometime this week. I'll be leaving for Cincinnati this Thursdsay though, so I haven't decided if it would be best to wait until after I get back or not. With Faranth around though, I may just leave him in charge while I'm away. ;)

digitalSite - If you add conditionals around the blocks you don't want guests to be able to see then that should fix the problem... Ex <if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]">
As for the images - See my first response in this post.

TheEDIGuy - Could you possibly provide me with a temporary admin account at your forum, and FTP access to your site as well? I'm honestly not sure why the calendar would behave like that, but if you could PM me with that info I'll gladly take a look and see if I can figure out what the problem is.

FastAttack - I tried registering on your site to see what the problem is with the avatar, but apparently you turned that option off. Can you tell me what URL it's pointing at for your avatar? Are you using a default one from your site, a custom one that's been uploaded, or did you enter the URL for it?

Milhouse - See my first response in this post. ;)

GameMania - Remove the quote from your news post, or change your "News Maximum Characters" setting to a higher number so the ending quote tag will be included in the post.

alain4ever - Open your adv_index.php file and look for "filesize," (without the quotes) and change that to "attachment.filesize," (again, wthout the quotes).
