custom block 1 & 2 are just premade small templates that you can edit to add more content (static) onto your boards

if you want to add more you should take a look at vBadvanced.com

Zachery - thank you very much for all your help... its up and running great now!!!

i do have a question though... In the read me file it tells you how to add new pages (i.e.)
First, create a new template called index_links (For example purposes - You may change the "links" part to whatever you would like). Simply put the content that you would like displayed in this template - There is no need for body tags, the $header variable, or anything like this - only the content.
Once you create the new template, simply link to it using something like: http://yoursite.com/adv_index.php?page=links. Simply add the suffix of your new templates after the "page=" part in the link and it will replace the news section of your homepage with the content of your new template.

I tried this and the link works - but theres no content that i added... why is this?

What i did was Made a test page called: "index_test", added content to the page and uploaded it to my root directory...

what i got was: http://illicitrap.com/index.php?page=test

What did i do wrong here?

Am i supposed to make this through the admincp ? and if so - HOW???

Thanks in advance... and thanks again Zachery!

ok, I have VBA installed, and I can pick my Template I want it to use but it's not using the right header.. I think it's trying to use the one that comes with VB.

I tryed going in Admincp and to Styles & Templates and changing the header.
it works on the fourms part but not on VBA home (adv_index.php)

what do I have to do at this pont ?

Zachery

In the "index" template use $header instead of $index_header.
No You shouldnt do that, it will cause an uncashed template error, you should just copy your header template into the index_header template.

04-14-2004, 12:10 AM
ok that sounds awesome, but I'm like a noob so can you tell me where this index_header template is .

and now I have a big one for you!!! ( you ready???)

OK this is what I would like to do..

1. move » Custom Template 1 up. where you log in at
2. move » Custom Template 2 where » Custom Template 1 was.
3. move the log in where » Custom Template 2 is at

OK so I can keep the awesome look that VBA has I would like my pages/links to open where the news is. So if you hit a link it would show up where the news is in the center.

how do I do that ?

Pro, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

simple, cos in your vb 3 cookie, you already stated a domain, so its impossible to be logon to both domain at the same time.

So just do a domain redirect to the site (.com or .net) that owns the vb license.

thats the advice I gave to Chuan (puredj.net)

One thing I've not seen mentioned here which is critical for the header: the best way to get it to work is to paste the header template to index_header, OK I saw that but what wasn't covered is the href/image paths for the title logo need prefixing 'with forumdirectoryname/' (and in some cases the image path in Style Options for your logo needs alternatively either having the full OR partial path given).

Anyway, working like a charm on 3.0.1. :)

The easiest solution to this is to add:

<base href="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourforumdirectory/" />

To the <HEAD> section of your pages.

Then all images, etc would be relative to the directory in the 'base' tag... meaning that you don't have to fix all of your smiley paths, image paths, attachment paths, etc... as they all just work! :)

http://www.Skipsoutdoors.com/Forum (New v-3 Forum)

http://www.skipsoutdoors.com/Forums (old v-2 Forum)

The page inherits the style of the new v-3 forum as far as colors go, and it pulls up the v-3 welcome box at the top as well as the images.

Sure would be nice if we didnt hafta go chasin stuff from this board to that. :ermm:

edit: so I guess it's fixed... :tired: I hope you guys will find some way to combine all of your wonderful efforts into one place so that users don't have to keep logging in and out of 1500 sites (ok ok I exaggerate maybe 1499 sites).

Something very strange happened here. I would rather not post it because it may or may not be a means for unlicensed users to obtain the password. Would a moderator or someone message me so I can inform you of what just occured with my registration? Thanks

you are misunderstanding the system.

in order for a site to offer vBulletin Hacks or mods in accordance with the vB terms of use, the site may only service licensed members of vBulletin. vB.org, vB.com, and vBtemplates.com are hte only 3 official sites that vBulletin recognizes, and they block out the code tags to anyone who is not registered with vBulletin.

vBAdvanced is using this blocking to ensure the only people able to download their hack from their site is by being a licensed vBulletin member.

Since you can post and see code at vB.org, the official vB hacks site, you can see the password typed in a code field in this thread. simply copy and paste this password in the link you provided above, and you can download and register the hack.

Same for me, I get the password, but when I enter it it gives me the same error as above. And I know it is not a licence issue, I have several owned licences. Also can I get some help on that standard error lite template so it will work on the vbadvanced home page.

Some or all of my template was removed; So now the system is down cause of it. I figure I could just run the install to get them back but no that did not work I get the following errors.

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/abcjoe/public_html/install/advindex_install.php on line 11

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/abcjoe/public_html/install/advindex_install.php on line 11

those errors come from the install file. How can I uninstall this system completely and reinstall it?

You need to put this file in your admincp directory, not the install folder.

Sorry I am just finding my way back to this, all of these sites are a bit overwhelming at first.

I think maybe you misunderstood with regard to what was happening on my end. I did not know if I could post at vb.org as I had never posted before with the exception of this thread (which could have been set with looser permissions to allow users who are experiencing problems to post as is the case on several boards that I frequent) but I knew that I couldn't see code here. I could NOT see the password in the password post until I quoted it in a new post. When I looked back to read the post that I had written, there was the password for all to see (which is why I edited that post). When I looked back at the initial password post, I still could not see the password though, I had to get it from the quoted post, which was the something weird that I referred to in my next post. I didn't want to say it out loud because I didn't want to be pointing out glitches to be abused by unlicensed users and I hope that as soon as an admin sees this post they will edit this part out. I didn't want to post it, but specifically recalled reading from one of the mods, to never never message them in any way shape or form (paraphrased of course) unless they specifically requested it. I waited for one of them to reply to my message. Since they did not, I posted it here.

I still cannot see the password in this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=469603&postcount=560) post unless I quote it in a new post, but I can view code and download.

No, the cookie is generally set for the domain so will not be accessible from another domain.

You may be able to get around this by using a subdomain e.g. home.domain.com and then forums.domain.com and have those hosted seperately if you care to do that... this way you could just set the cookie against domain.com.

But you will not be able to have a cookie set by domain1.com available to domain2.com without some serious work (re-direct domains, cookies set against the re-direct domain).

Once again you did an excellent job Tigga.. I've installed this. It's missing a Top 10 Posters hack though (like your MyVBIndex used to have..)

I was toying with this but I just can't get it to work.. So far this is what I have..

in adv_index.php I replaced the custom2 section with:


if ($vboptions['showcustom2'])
{
$getstats_posters = $DB_site->query("SELECT username, userid, posts FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user ORDER BY posts DESC LIMIT 10");
while ($getstats_poster = $DB_site->fetch_array($getstats_posters))
{
eval('$getstats_posters .= "' . fetch_template('index_topposters') . '";');
}
$getbgrow = getrowcolor();
eval('$custom2 .= "' . fetch_template('index_custom2') . '";');
}


index_custom2 template was replaced with:


<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="100%"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vboptions[blockbullet]Top 10 Posters</b></span></td></tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">
$getstats_posters
</td>
</tr>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />


I added a new template called index_topposters:


<b><a href="forums/member.php?u=$getstats_poster[userid]">$getstats_poster[username]</a></b>
<b>($getstats_poster[posts])</b>


the outcome shows the following attached image...

Sooo close.. yet so far.. Only the top poster and this wierd "Resource id #15" in front of the user's name (user ID of the top poster is #16 if that's anything..)

Any help to get this working would be greatly appreciative.. :)

350Chevy
05-24-2004, 08:17 AM
I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if it's possible to have nothing but the news as the home page? If so, I don't think it's possible without editing the index php file yourself..

Goto www.vbadvanced.com they seem to have a much newer version available along with mods and add-ons. I wish I'd known this before I installed this but it looks like the writer was too lazy to post it here even though 1.1 is about 5 months older than the newest version. it was my bad that I came here for all my hacking needs first I guess....

Best VB Pro - Still the best Forum software available.

As for your problems regarding hacks, it sounds like you need to get someone more in touch with MySQL and PHP to fix it for you.

The Error:
The page loads normally, but a script error is reported in IE v6.0 on line 2. You know the script Errors reported in IE, you can klick on details or klick OK so the browser will go on, the page still loads and the content is showing without problems, but this message is slicky for first time visitors .. they see an error and are closing the page ..
If users are logged in, no script error message is reported, also in the bottomline of the brwoser nothing is reported .. only guests or not logged in users get this error.

It says something from undefined ... error on line 2

i have no idea what this can be, please help me out to kill this little bug/error

Two quick questions for those that are using the CMPS or are familiar with it:

1. If I post an image to the thread will it show in the news section of the front page?

2. If I have a thread thats news worthy in one of the forums, can I select that and have it appear on the news section of the main page?

Hello all. I just installed the hack and I dont' see any visual difference on my forum. This is supposed to make the main page of my site http://www.tripleplate.com run the advanced homepage from my forum in http://www.tripleplate.com/vbulletin right?

There is no difference to either page, the forums, or the main page that I currently have redirecting to the forums. Do I need to do something to the mainpage of the website to call on vbadvanced or something?

Thanks in advance!

It looks like you overwrote the cmps_index.php with the content of your pre-existing index page rather than renaming the cmps_index.php to index.php and then uploading it?
Both http://www.tripleplate.com/cmps_index.php and http://www.tripleplate.com/ are the same.

when you click that first link you rpovided /cmps_index.php you get my error page which redirects to the homepage...it says "update yoru bookmarks"...

I didn't see anything about cmps_index.php what am I supposed to do with that?

I track my msg's via who made the last post, and if it keeps showing up the topic starter its hard to tell if you read it or not.

best hack I ever installed

Right, I have read 40+ pages now and cant seem to find the answer to this.

I have installed this hack and everything seems fine, I still need to change path to smilies though.

The only problem is, I use a flash header which has links to forum and home. This seems to have been changed when I installed the hack. It is pointing to the wrong address on the home page.

I havent renamed the home page yet so see the link here:

http://www.mobilephonemadness.com/vbindex.php

Any idea what I need to change to fix this? Where are the variables such as $stylevar[imgdir_misc] defined?

Also, off topic - I have registered at vbadvanced.com over 2 hours ago and still not had the activation email, you may want to have a look at it.

Thanks In Advance

Pardon me if this is a stupid question or if I'm missing the obvious here. I just downloaded this for my website, and I'm wondering I've found myself stumped in the whole module thing. First of all, I was advised to go to my "vBa CMPS." I have absolutely no idea what that is. Second, I search through the options in my adminCP, but there is only an option to select 2 modules, which are dependant on 1 template. What if I want a 3rd module?

Specifically, I'm attempting to install the addon module by Zack or "Harrybutt?" https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=67474 which allows me to include my forum contributors. I noticed that the first vBa included a modules directory and a whole lot of files that were not included with this release. So maybe these features are not found in 1.1? Should I have installed 1.0 first?

Thanks, and I appologize if I've made anybody more confused as I am :(

can some one help ?

I've got a very simplified version of my main forum directory on my index page which simply says the names of the forums without any other information. To the left of those is the forum icons.

I'd like those icons to change, the way they do on forum/index, when there is a new, unread post in the forum. Basically, that's a toggle between forum_old.gif and forum_new.gif depending on the status of the forum. I know the code is out there, but I'm not very good at mining it. Can someone tell me how to set this up, and how to make sure that each icon is properly associated with the correct forum?

Thank you!

2- Where is the link to the forums itself?

Thx

I am at the part in the install where it says:

Now open your adv_index.php file in this folder and find:
chdir('/home/yoursite/public_html/forum');

I opened up that file and found a similar phrase so I got that far. However, Im not sure what Im supposed to put there. At first glance I would want to put http://www.ultimatuner.com/forum/ because that is the address to my forum but it says not to put a URL in there. What should i put?

Also a second question, whats the difference between this and that CPMS(sp?) Portal management System?

All the ones from www.vbstyles.com that I have that have flash headers, they dont work. Any idea why all of these things arent working??? *Note* My site is not functional at the moment so I need help quick!!

PS - My arcade doesnt work anymore. Whenever i go to play a game it just brings me to the main page. I have the ProArcade installed.

Did you, by any chance, rename your existing index.php to something else, and use the new index.php (the vbA one) in that directory?

If so, of course it is going to go to that page, because arcade.php redirects you to index.php?do=play or something.

Guess, the problem is with the quotes; it doesn't like breaking in the middle of other tags. You'll need to bump up the number of characters before it cuts off or turn off the option.

Also, unless you've purchased the branding free option you'll need to restore the 'powered by' wording in the footer.

I've searched all around this thread and on the vbadvanced.com forums, and I've seen a lot of users requesting a random thread module, in which a random thread would be picked from a specific forum and shown in the main page (or any other VBCMS page, for that effect), although no solution has shown up.

I (and certainly other people) would really appreciate any feedback on this, please.
