vBadvanced CMPS - Old Support Thread

[Intex]

Tigga - let me be the first to say what an absolutely outstanding hack this is. I've been using it now for about a month (or whenever you first released it on your website).

Installed and working great on 3.0.1. Fantastic work !!!! Waiting to vote for it on 'Hack of the Month'.



* Intex clicks INSTALL. Even though it was installed a few weeks ago :).

[snyx]

<i>question:</i>

does this allow me to create seperate /file.php? files with these options, or are they all /index.php?page=file generated?

[tcs]

The CMPS is outstanding and easy to add modules too. Fully customizable.

Importing styles and getting them to run right the first time without a bunch of major code work is a breeze.

Manuals, Instructions and Tech Support are the best you will find anywhere.

Content management come strait from the forums.

This is truly a great CMS for vBulletin.

Running on my site if you need a demo and to see how well it adapts to hacks added from this site.

[rookie7]

Can you tell us how many queries does your hack have?

[tilight]

Very nice, i'll install right away. Been waiting for something like this.

[Preech]

Gotta click install. I've been using this since you released it on your forum.

[FleaBag]

Awesome!

[milkmycow]

what are the advantages of using this over the original VBadvanced?

Sounds great, bro. I will have to check this out, as I really appreciate the thinking of a full site instead of just a portal page.

[Wasser]

what are the advantages of using this over the original VBadvanced?

the biggest improvement over vba homepage is the way the frontpage content is moved around and the method of adding new content. look at the screenshots he posted and you'll get the idea.

[Dan]

nice job tigga :)

[msimplay]

i remember having a major struggle with making the main page 100% width last time
because the forums width is fixed at 750
is it easily done this time around ?

[Dean C]

Looks very nice Brian :)!

[BoNfiRe]

Looks very nice Brian :)!
Yep the best portal out there been using it since the rc1 release.

* BoNfiRe clicks install

[Zachery]

Yep the best portal out there been using it since the rc1 release.

Ive been using vBadvanced systems since it was still called mYvBindex for vB3 ;D

[Tigga]

Thank you all for the compliments. :)
I've tried to create a portal/cms that would allow novice users and advanced coders alike to easily set up and manage their site's content, and easily add new modules without having to hack any files. Judging from the comments, it looks like I've acomplished my goal. :cool:


question:

does this allow me to create seperate /file.php? files with these options, or are they all /index.php?page=file generated?
You could rename the cmps_index.php file to anything that you would like, and change the 'page=' part to anything you would like (there's an option to change the 'page=' variable in the default settings). It also would not be a problem to have multiple copies of the cmps_index.php file on your server if you wanted one for your homepage and another for some other reason.


Can you tell us how many queries does your hack have?It is just about the same as vBa Homepage, except there is one extra query (which is very quick) to pull the info for the particular page. With all of the default modules enabled, I believe the number of queries is at 20. Here is a quick breakdown of the queries for you though:

News & New Archive - 1 query pulls both
Latest Threads - 1 query
Poll - 1 query
User's Avatar (part of the Welcome Block module) - 1 query
Buddy List and/or Online Users - 1 query pulls both
Mini Calendar - 3 queries (none for the simple calendar)
Stats - 2 queries
New Posts (part of the Welcome Block module) - 1 query
Quick Moderation - 4 queries (Note that these will only be performed for usergroups that have permission to view this module).
Also note that the queries will not be performed for any modules that are not active on a particular page.


what are the advantages of using this over the original VBadvanced?Excuse me for being lazy, but I'm just going to copy and paste the answer I gave when this was asked on our forum the other day. ;)
If you're good with PHP, or at least very comfortable with HTML, then the Homepage may be a good solution. If not, the CMPS is much easier to customize and change. If you would like to move one of the blocks in the Homepage, you would have to edit a template and move the HTML around. In the CMPS, you simply click a link to move the module to a different column, and specify the order in which you'd like it to be displayed in that column. Adding modules to the Homepage would require hacking the file to add the code. Adding modules to the CMPS only requires uploading the file, and then adding the module through the Admin CP. The CMPS also gives you more control and options when adding new pages, whereas the Homepage only allows you to replace the news section in the middle with content from a custom template.


i remember having a major struggle with making the main page 100% width last time
because the forums width is fixed at 750
is it easily done this time around ?The CMPS should go by the same width you have set for your forums. The only case I remember where someone has experienced a problem with this is when their news posts contained images that were too big and were causing the page to be stretched out. Other than something such as that, there should be no problem.

[Tigga]

Ive been using vBadvanced systems since it was still called mYvBindex for vB3 ;DHehe... Zachery thinks he's oldschool. :p
I didn't even remember what it was called back then... That was what, a little over a year ago? I seriously doubt I even still have a copy of that file.

I have been using VBadvanced for the bast few months and it has been getting better and better with age. This portal is by far the best and easiest to install & use. On a scale from 1 to 10 I give this a

[Imprezer]

Great hack!

I am currently using vBindex and I get 0 support with it as all of my questions are being ignored. So, I am considering switching to this portal. And, I have a question.

Is there any way of displaying the LATEST THREADS from a selected forum in a block?

Thanks a lot!

[SnowBot]

Can you run through the steps to upgrade from vBAdvanced in full please. ? :)

[Cyricx]

Wow....

I don't think I can say it any clearer then that. Thank you so much for creating and releasing this! :)

[freehtml]

I had one friend told me that he switched from vBadvance to other potral system as vBadvance cannot handle high traffic as according to him...anyone had any feedback on this?

[Intex]

I've personnally not had any performance problems with it. As for a comparison against other portal systems, they might not be doing as much work on the homepage, it really depends on what you intend to display and therefore how many queries are run etc.

With vBAdvanced you can turn modules on / off, so I don't really see any problems with that.

[Zachery]

I have installed this numerous times and cannot get the index page to load it just hangs and then times out. Switched over from vbadvanced and now have nothing

[tjdrico]

Installed this and thought it was cool, so I even provide a module for it with my latest hack. Nice work.

[SmasherMaster]

I have RC1...Think I'll upgrade tomorrow. Still, freakin awesome job Tigga!

[freehtml]

I had just installed it at http://www.sgwebhostingtalk.com/index.php

And ithad displayed me the following error :

Warning: main(/home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/cmps_index.php on line 25

I had tried to append the path info in the info.php that I created and the same problem still occurs..'

Any advice?

[Zachery]

You did edit the chdir correctly

/home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/forum

However it seems to be working fine now

[ShutDown23]

Can someone help me?

I've edited all the options in the admincp, but when i go to my portal, I don't see the news I was imported just the News Archive.

Thank you

[msimplay]

The CMPS should go by the same width you have set for your forums. The only case I remember where someone has experienced a problem with this is when their news posts contained images that were too big and were causing the page to be stretched out. Other than something such as that, there should be no problem.

no you misunderstand
the point of it is that i don't want CMPS to be same width as the forum

i'd like it to be 100% instead of the same width as the forum


is it easily done this time ?

[Intex]

msimplay - this is pretty easy to do. Simply create a child-style from your existing forum style. You can then change the width of the homepage + anything else you like and anything you change will only apply to that style.

The advantage of using a child style also means that any global changes you make to the parent style will cascade to the child style, where you haven't modified that directly of course.

Hope that helps.

[Tigga]

Great hack!

I am currently using vBindex and I get 0 support with it as all of my questions are being ignored. So, I am considering switching to this portal. And, I have a question.

Is there any way of displaying the LATEST THREADS from a selected forum in a block?

Thanks a lot!Yes, there is an option in the latest threads section where you may specify a forumid(s) to pull the threads from. :)


Can you run through the steps to upgrade from vBAdvanced in full please. ?Follow the install instructions, set up the CMPS, and then uninstall the homepage. There is a section in the CMPS install file that checks to see if you have the Homepage installed, and if so, gives you the option to import your settings. :)


Can someone help me?

I've edited all the options in the admincp, but when i go to my portal, I don't see the news I was imported just the News Archive.

Thank youWhat do you have your 'News Posts Maximum' set to? From looking at your site, it looks like you may have that set to 0, which would cause the posts to be displayed in the archive instead.


no you misunderstand
the point of it is that i don't want CMPS to be same width as the forum

i'd like it to be 100% instead of the same width as the forum


is it easily done this time ?Ahhh, sorry. Yes, you should be able to change the width of that table in the 'adv_portal' template.

[ragintajin]

Is it possible to assign each page its own unique theme/style?

[Tigga]

Yup. Take a look at this screenshot (http://www.vbadvanced.com/images/screenshots/cmps/add_page.gif) and you will see the option. :)

[Lee Wilde]

Have installed in minutes and thanks to the user manual you provide, am already adding new pages. A huge amount of work and forethought has obviously gone into this. Superlative work!

[dethfire]

the news doesn't seem to work, only one item shows, but no text appears

[PixelFx]

it works great :) make sure you setup your path correctly in the cmps_index.php file and make sure you reset your forum's cache :) I use it on www.gamefx.ca if you want to see how it looks in action

[Imprezer]

Awesome portal!

I have tried them all. For both vb2 and vb3. This is the best of the best.

Support is great. Lots of add-ons. Easy to make your own.

Works perfect on a huge forum like mine. ;)

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Could one of you tell me what the code was to have a home link when on forums or forum link when on portal in the navbar.
something with "if this script".... I can't remember :p

[jamescrf]

Great product.. I am wondering if you guys know if its possible to split the news into two columns. If you post two news stories they appear on after the other on the home page - I would like to be able to have them next to each other - so first line would have story 1 and two, then the next line under it would have story 3 and 4...

thanks,

[Wolffman]

I have a quick question:

Is there a way to "sticky" a news item to the top of the news section? I tried stickying it in the forum that we post the news, and it still doesn't stay at the top.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Zelda-King - you now simply get to choose a style to use. Go to AdminCP > Edit Pages > Default / Homepage. There you can see you can select a style for the page to use. The header is then called in the same way as the forum, by use of $header.

You then get the ability to create different pages and have different styles associated with them. If you create a child-style of your main forum style, then you don't need to copy / paste settings. Makes a life a whole lot easier.

Like so (http://www.gamercrossfire.net).

It's because the images are being called from the domain root directory. Not the forum root directory where the images actually are. On the previous version I had to adjust the URLs in the headers.

[Zelda-King]

Never mind. I fixed this. I needed to change the header URLs to the full URL. eg, change "images/logo.gif" to http://www.domain.com/forums/images/logo.gif".

I'm currently using VBindex.

1. What is the major advantage of it over VBindex?

2. I have about 15 different viewing styles on my board. The one thing that is a little time consuming with VBIndex over VBPortal (when I was on VB2) is that any change has to be made in all styles since every box is a template. Is that the same with vBadvanced?

3. Are there any conversion issues for the people currently using VBIndex?

4. Is it possible to try this on my board without first removing VBindex -- and by renaming the index.php let my members preview both and give their feedback?

What I would like to do is this:

Create two Forums in my Message Board so that I separate the News that go into Section 1 and Section 2.

Have a sort of header for each section (which I already did successfully).

Put the Section 1 News and News Archive below the Section 1 Header and the Section 2 News and News Archive below the Section 2 Header.

Is such a setup possible? If yes, how can I go around creating it?

I currently use vbportal. What would the easiest way to upgrade to vbAdvanced be? Should I upgrade both vb to vb3 and Photopost to the lastest versions first and then attempt to install vbadvanced?

[Deimos]

Tigga, quick question for you if I may

If I install this, can I say....add a module to the left hand side, with a list of links, which when clicked, would open a page where the news is normally displayed? (did that make sense?)
So, if I wanted to add a guide or something, people can click the link and it'd open in the middle area, rather than a seperate page
I've been trying to do this with the VBAdvanced system, but i'm a beginner to put it mildly

[58sniper]

Well, it would open a new page, but that new page would have all of the vBA modules. The vBA Control Panel allows you to create additional pages within the same template.

Hope that makes sense.

[diabme69]

Installed, working great, I only have one problem, i have attempted to fix it, but all the ideas i can enact are not the way id like it.

THe problem is this: if you have avatars enabled, and your post has a quote towards the beginning, the quote does not wrap around the avatar, causing it to look really bad :/

I have debated moving the avatar to the title of the news post, but then it messes up that part, i believe you can edit the quote CSS to wrap, but i am not quite sure how that would work.

Any ideas i would appreciate it :)

Yes it does Sniper, thanks :)

Would anyone who knows the answer to my question care to take a shot at it.

Anything I can do to speed it up?

[Tigga]

RonH. - There are 4 templates referenced in the temlates.txt file. Replace those 4 templates with the content under the template name for each.

PranK - Seems to load at about the same speed as your forum's home for me. Do you have the 'Quick Moderation' module enabled? If so, that could slow it down on your account since it has to check a couple of tables. That would only affect mods and admins though since they're the only ones that can see the module. ;)

[RonH.]

RonH. - There are 4 templates referenced in the temlates.txt file. Replace those 4 templates with the content under the template name for each. ;)Thanks for clearing that up for me. I apparently was misinterpreting :rolleyes: the instructions. I'm going to try and install this file/hack this weekend.

[Sirius Black]

I have a problem with my install - It won't show the calendar for some reason. I changed the 4 templates like I was supposed to and the module is active but for some reason the thing won't show up. Any ideas whats wrong ?

/me clicks install.

[gfxhavenowner]

I'm having a problem logging in from the main page, i.e. it refreshes and does nothing. Any help?

Aslo, the navbar links all point to the the main site, instead of the forums folder. DO I have to update them myself?

Did you set the calendar ID in the AdminCP>vBa CMPS>Default Settings>Calendar ID?

[Sirius Black]

Did you set the calendar ID in the AdminCP>vBa CMPS>Default Settings>Calendar ID?

Doh - I completely overlooked that portion of it. :o It works fine now - Thanks for the help.

I still need help, especially since this is a pretty big problem.

[Tigga]

Are you able to log in from the navbar on that page? Is it just the 'Welcome Block' module, or both that module and the navbar?

[gfxhavenowner]

Both.

[Tigga]

Make sure your 'Path to Save Cookies' option in your main vBulletin options section is set to '/'. If it is, try changing your 'Cookie Domain' to '.yoursite.com'.

[Mike Gaidin]

I'm having the same problem. I can't login from the login at the top of the cmps page or the one in the block.

My cookie domain is set to forums.mysite.com rather than .mysite.com since my forums are in a subdomain rather then a sub forum.

[Tigga]

You need to change that to be blank, or '.yoursite.com'.

[Mike Gaidin]

It looks like it's working now. Thanks Tigga. :)

[Cold Steel]

/me installs.

Nice hack.

[tdc]

First, let me say this is an amazing hack! Thank you!! *clicks install*

However, I've run into a snag. For some reason, the images path is not correct even though I changed them as instructed in the readme file and made sure they were correct upon installation of the portal.

http://www.bimmerfesteast.com/cmps_index.php

Why is it foregoing the 'forum' folder and trying to find the images directly in the 'images' folder?

[Flare]

I seem to be having a problem with vBAdvance that I can't figure out how to solve easily...

The quote tag [_quote_] will screw up the news display tables. If I enable vbcode in news display, all content that is suppose to be in the right hand column is within the table borders of the news column (center column).

If someone wants to look a what I'm talking about, I will leave vbcode turned on for a short duration so that you can see the problem. Although, I'll have to turn it off again so the main page display doesn't get screwed up.

You can check out http://www.starpyre.com to see the problem. However, I'm waiting for domain propegation for the actual domain, so most images and links will probably not work.

[ShutDown23]

I upgraded to 3.0.3 a while ago and now I cannt get this to work... :ermm:
I get:

[Typhon]

We've recently upgraded from 3.0.0 to 3.0.3 and now the News Archive on the front page does not work. I've reinstalled the tempaltes. I've actually uninstalled everything and reinstalled it as well . Nothing. Any help would be appreciated since our front page is currently semi-blank. Thanks!

[ShutDown23]

Is the vbadvance site down or is it me?

[contramontanum]

vBadvanced.com appears to be down, so I'm trying here...

Edit: problem fixed... mea culpa.

[Ted S]

Is there any way to use this hack or something like it to show the last 10 articles (from vbarticles hack) on the main CMPS homepage in the center instead of on the sidebar? I want my portal to be more like a magazine and less like a forum with articles front and center, can it be done?

[Tigga]

vbadvanced.com was down for about an hour or so... Apparently there was a problem restarting Apache after a security fix was applied.
Ted - I believe there is a add-on module for this posted on our forums. :)

[pjdaley]

for some reason i keep getting this error when i edit the functions... does vba work with 3.0.1?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1864


have any ideas guys?

[Ted S]

Tigga, thanks (again and again).

[redlabour]

What did i have to do if i update to 3.0.3 ??

[lmongello]

Can I install and test this out without having my users see it as the default forums page (or even an option) until it's ready? When it is installed, does it become the forums index.php automatically?

Thanks

I believe it will be your actual home page, not your forum index. Not sure though, Im about to install it and check it out. Looks awsome.

[romeshomey]

I would like to install this, but I am running 3.0.3 and notice a couple people had problems after upgrading.

Is there anything different than whats in the instructions to install this on 3.0.3 for it to work?

I just upgraded from 2.2.8 (i know a little late but someone took advantage of the security hole in it :) )

Anyways I need a portal and I was hoping this would work with 3.0.3

I am a big fan of Tigga's Work.

[Tigga]

pjdaley - That means you've mis-hacked your functions.php file. Get a fresh, un-hacked version of that file and reapply the file changes using Notepad or another simple text editor. Do not use Dreamweaver or any similar programs as they have been known to cause problems in the past.

redlabour - Reapply the file modifications in the readme file, then upload the install file to your admincp directory, go to it in your browser, and select the option to install only the templates.

lmongello - Your users will not see the page until you rename the file (by default it's called cmps_index.php so that you can set everything up and then rename it when you're ready to go live with it. ;))

romeshomey - The only difference you should notice is that the code to change in your functions_calendar.php file is slightly different. Just look for the first part of the code and you shouldn't have any problems.

XtReMaTriX - Yes, it should work fine with any of the 3.0.X versions. :)

[romeshomey]

Im confused here.

I have everything installed, but am having a problem getting the portal to work.

I have my chdir path right in the index.php and have the files in the right area, although I dont understand why Im getting these errors.

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/drewster/public_html/index.php on line 59

Here is what I have in the file currently, maybe someone can see an error, I'v been trying to figure it out for hours lol.

// Enter the full path to your forum here

Nm lol. I figured it out lol. I forgot to put forums/ at the end of my chdir path GRR lol Spent about 3 hours grumbling and the wife got up at 5am looking at me like I was nutz ;)

Great hack Tigga.. This is awsome....

I thank you for your hard work....

[romeshomey]

I think I made an error with the images though. Ill have to go back through it and figure out what I scewed up on....

[romeshomey]

Ok, all fixed :) .. Ill have to play around with the organization and whatnot tomorrow. Goodnight (or morning to some) everyone...... Thanks again Tigga..

[romeshomey]

For some reason it gave me a broken link on my menu bar for the arcade.

Where can I find the edit to change the arcade link for the Vba_index menu bar?

Its right on all my other forum pages, but on the Vba page it changed it from
http://www.insidersportszone.com/forums/arcade.php?
to
http://www.insidersportszone.com/arcade.php?

This doesn't seem to work with 3.0.3 - am I right?

Thanks for any help you can give...:)

ShutDown23 & pjdaley - The path to your forums is incorrect. Please see the readme file on how to find the correct path.

disquiet - That means the tables in the database have become corrupt. You should be able to repair them using the 'Repair / Optimize Tables' option in your admin cp.

Koopa - You've mishacked your functions.php file. Try getting a fresh, un-hacked version of the file and re-apply the changes using Notepad or another simple text editor. Do NOT use Dreamweaver or any similar programs as these have been known to cause problems in the past.

[disquiet]

Tigga...that was the first thing I tried last night after I posted here...

I'll try again anyways...:D

Any idea why the tables are corrupting?? It was working for me earlier today, then down it went again...

[Tigga]

I have no idea... That's the first time I've heard of someone saying that one of those was corrupted.

[disquiet]

Yeah...it's kinda funny...The forums itself work...but the CMPS doesn't...also, the private message list doesn't work...the inbox I mean...but I can see my read reciepts and sent messages...

Makes no sense...

[tccra]

I have this installed on my site in a couple of test directories using a clean install of vBulletin and a new database and all seems to be working fine. I understand that if I install this in my normal site directory nothing will be seen until I decide to go live and change cmps_index.php to index.php. My questions are these:


When I install this will any changes be made to the appearance of my existing forums? I would like to use the system for my main site and leave my forums as they are. Does installation change my existing styles in any way?
Related to the above point, is it as easy as using a newly-created style for the main site and the existing ones for the forums?
When I create a new template in order to add a page to my main site, for example "fees", the new URL for the page will be http://www.mysite.com/cmps_index.php?page=fees. Now, when I go "live" with the site and change "cmps_index.php" to "index.php" do the other pages I've created change automatically along with it, i.e. does http://www.mysite.com/cmps_index.php?page=fees become http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=fees, or do I have to change each one manually?


Hopefully these questions make some semblance of sense.

[Tigga]

1. No.
2. Not sure I follow you on this one... Why would you need to create a new style for the CMPS? By default it will use whatever style the user has selected.
3. The link to the new pages you create will be whatever you've named the file, so if you rename it to index.php, then the links to the file would have to be index.php?page=whatever

[tccra]

2. Not sure I follow you on this one... Why would you need to create a new style for the CMPS? By default it will use whatever style the user has selected.

What I'm wanting to do is have a different header, layout, etc. on my main site from any of the selectable styles available on my forums. I don't want the style the user selects on my forums to have any bearing whatsoever on the appearance of my main site pages. Is this as simple as creating a new style and setting "Allow User Selection" to "No"? Sorry if I'm not being clear here.

Thanks for the quick reply, and kudos on the fantastic piece of software.

[Scutter]

quick question regarding the last xxx posts. with the current version of vBAdvanced I use, users can still see the topics in this list whether they can access them or not, with this version can this list be restricted so that only topics they can access are displayed?

[mattster2002]

Hey Would dearly love to make a post here - Recently installed your hack and its very nice. I am upgrading from PHPNuke/PhpBB heavily modded (especially the theme). I found it was quite an effort to convert my phpnuke theme across, but well worth the effort. Just thought i might post one thing in the style system (for the borders).

I had to do a tiny bit of modding, but i think it'd be a good idea to have themes for blocks so you dont have to design each block individualaly, what i mean is a standard for blocks to be done, I've done a makeshift version that is just block_open module_content and block_close - works like a charm at the moment.

Love the module

[Tigga]

tccra - I'm pretty sure that should work. Just create the style, then select that style on your CMPS page in the admin cp.

Scutter - Your users should only be able to see the threads they have permission to see in either the CMPS or the Homepage. If not then you most likely have your forum permissions set incorrectly.

mattster2002 - I almost changed it so that all of the modules would be surrounded by one template where you could change that and have all of the module blocks change, but ended up not doing it mostly because I couldn't think of a good way to put the titles in the blocks when they contained links. I'm thinking I may just add those as phrases and change the way it's done in a future version though. :)

[DrkFusion]

Outstanding job Brian, the load was a +++++ for me to handle because of the required mods the site relies on with a little code optimization this hack is working sweet and very sound!

>> Clicks Install <<

[Tigga]

Why thank you sir. :)

[Scutter]

Scutter - Your users should only be able to see the threads they have permission to see in either the CMPS or the Homepage. If not then you most likely have your forum permissions set incorrectly.

settings are all OK and they can not access the posts, but they can see the topic titles which I do not want them to see. Is there a way to stop these showing or is it a case where I say only certain forums will show in the latest topics?

[Yuber]

Kickass, thanks for sharing. Any ideas on what future addon modules you'll be adding such as weather?

[PranK]

PranK - Seems to load at about the same speed as your forum's home for me. Do you have the 'Quick Moderation' module enabled? If so, that could slow it down on your account since it has to check a couple of tables. That would only affect mods and admins though since they're the only ones that can see the module. ;)

Sorry mate, totally forgot about checking back here..

Ok sweet, well It does load quite slowly for me, but nobody else has complained about it, so it must just be the quick moderation.

Thanks Tigga!

Sounds like you've got another hack installed that's clashing (maybe the forum specific icon's one?). If you'll look in your modules/news.php file for:

iconpath AS threadiconpath

And replace that with:

icon.iconpath AS threadiconpath

That should fix the problem.

Hi,

I've just upgraded my board to 3.0.3 and I have a problem with viewing the portal. I'm sure it's just a stupid little error I can't see, but I still hope someone can point me in the right direction ;)

I can't see any error messages, the portal site is just blank (as in http://www.mydomain.com is blank, while http://www.mydomain.com/index.php is fine since I never replaced it. http://www.mydomain.com/portal.php is also blank).

Any ideas? Like I said, just upgraded the board, I've had the portal running at the board for quite a few weeks now with no problems, so there's no database error.

[bonnmac]

rerun the templets part of the install again basically rerun all the install once again it will work

[dina]

rerun the templets part of the install again basically rerun all the install once again it will work

No, there's nothing missing from the templates. Any other ideas? How can I quickly deactive the portal for now? As in make the http://www.mydomain.com point to index.php instead of portal.php

well if this is the first hack you are installing, I would suggest checking the code edits in the functions.php

This is the 1st hack i am installing since I upgraded to 3.0.3... I have checked Funtions.php 5 times aready and tried the install 2 times already... I cant figure out what i am doing wrong...

One thing i did notice was on the function_calander.php page, the code I was to find and replace, wasnt exactly the same...

It said to find this code:

function construct_calendar_output($today, $usertoday, $calendarinfo, $fullcalendar = 0, $weekrange = '')
{
global $birthdaycache, $eventcache, $bbuserinfo, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $show, $offset, $colspan, $days, $months, $show;


But in my page it was actually this:

Can anyone help? I can try installing the hack again but i made sure i followed the instructions to the mark... I dont know what to do to get this stuff working...

[Reeve of shinra]

Dreamweaver corrupts the function.php file if your using that to edit.

[Tigga]

The code in the functions_calendar.php file changed in 3.0.2 or 3 (I don't remember which). They had an extra $show variable in there, but finally removed it. That is the correct code to change though.
Were you by chance editing your functions.php file with Dreamweaver or another similar program? If so, try editing the file with Notepad or another simple text editor as programs like Dreamweaver have been known to cause problems in the past. As long as you're not editing with one of those programs and the change was made correctly then you shouldn't have any problems.

[weirdpixels]

yea i had the same issue with $show when installing the hack, this should not have been a problem.
when do you get the following error? on what page?

Does Dreamweaver do this for all other files when you are editing simple lines?

Not every file, but some. It's safer to not use Dreamweaver except for template editing.

[Eagle Creek]

I have one big question (actually, 2 :-))

1. How can I manage it? Will my control panel be the same? Can I use it on 3.0.3?
2. This is the problem. I want to set up a site with many manuals, news posts, downloads etc. etc.. I currently use postnuke en phpnuke for this. But, the forums where they are working with are PHPBB and not Vbulletin. So I'm looking for a nice Vbulletin solution.
Is vBadvanced capaple to manage a huge ammount of downloads, manuals and news-posts? Will it look like a normal site? Just just with links on the side.
It has to be easy understandeble for every n00buser.

is this possible?

Please help me. If it can do what I want this is just perfect!

[Eagle Creek]

It doesn't work. Can somebody help me?

I seem to have a problem. The problem resides with the Post Icon. The image I'm referring to is 'deficon'. No matter what I do, the result is a broken link. It seems that the installation process couldn't update that specific icon. All the other icons are fine. I am using 3.0.3. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

[ChuanSE]

put it in a image folder where your indexcmps file is /www/images like it is in /www/forum/images

which is your link to forum?

[ambrosious]

I cannot seem to get the reputation images to transfer over. The reputation stayed there, but my board get the "User is greatUser is greatUser is great" ad infinitum. Any ideas?

this and regular vba seems to run painfully slow on my board.. 20K members and 1.2mil posts.. the forum runs perfect, but this front end is like sludge.

[MnBthunDER]

Well anyone had any idea on how to put a paypal icon by adding a new module on the vbAdvance homepage? I'm a noob in php so I hope that anyone who could give me a clear / step-by-step tutorial would be really helpful

thanks in advance

[Megadeuce]

Does this have to be uninstalled before you ugrade to a new version of vb?

[ambrosious]

I also find it runs like cold molassas uphill on a slow day.

[Tigga]

Davey - That's a function that is only in vB3.0.0+. I'm not sure if there are any other issues with RC2 or not, so your best bet may be to upgrade.

Halarkin - You're running vBa Homepage, not the CMPS.

MnBthunDER - Just add a template and then add that template as a new module. Or, I believe there is a module for this posted at vbadvanced.com

Megadeuce - No. Once you upgrade though you will need to upload the vbacmps_install.php file to your admincp directory and select the option to re-install the templates. And of course you will need to re-apply the file modifications to the new version as well.

ambrosious - It loads pretty quick on your site as a guest. If you have the 'Quick Moderation' module enabled then that could create a slow down on larger sites for groups that have permission to view that module.

[MnBthunDER]

Great. Found what I want and it's done :) thanks Tigga

[XanaduRanch]

Got as far as step one and stopped as changing all the image paths as requested caused broken links on all forum pages using vb3.0.1. The admin_cp paths now are relative, and that's what the vb program is asking for. (ie: from "/images/buttons" to "http://www.xxx.xom/forums/images/buttons"

Q. Is this just a temporary thing until all the modifications for install are made?

If so I should wait until there's less traffic on site to make the modification. If not what'd I do wrong? Sorry if this has been asked ... searched the thread and didn't see a post relating to it.

Tom

[ambrosious]

Thanks! Two questions, as I am ready to fire this up.
One: The reputation images didn't make the transfer. I have the path right, but I get text, and with those with REAL high it skews the entire threads.
Two: I created navbar2, where do I put the $navbar2 request? I tried in the template adv_portal but it didn't show up.

Ok, three questions. If I rename this file (cmps_index) to index, what happens to my current forum index? Or would it be better to leave the old one intact and call this one AAforumhome?

Thanks!

Dunno why it would cause broken images on the forums. Setting those paths
<soapbox>Which should be that way out of the box since a lot of people are extending vBulleting outside of the forums folder</soapbox> is important, as they are initially set relative to the forums directory. But CMPS is outside the forums directory. Without making them more absolute, they wouldn't work for CMPS.

Make sense?

I understand the reasoning, I prefer to have the full path. But when I add it vBulletin assumes it's a relative path anyway, so, at least trhough that first step changing:

"images/misc" to "http://www.drsol.info/forums/images/misc"

Laves the forum page looking for:

"http://www.drsol.info/forums/http://www.drsol.info/forums/images/misc/navbits_start.gif"

for example. The other fields seem to be OK. But the Miscellaneous images is doing this no matter how many times it gets cut, or pasted, or hand type, etc. Weird.

Everything looks fine so far. One thing though, I want this table centered at 100%. I was hoping it could be done with this CMPS script, but if it can't I might have to consider uninstalling (since that is all I wanted it for).
Still it's a nice setup. Keep up the good work.

ps, screenshot attached.Davey,

It should be easy enough to center but we'd need to know what method did you take to produce what you're seeing so far. Did you create a module and are then displaying only that module or did you create a new page and are using the Custom Template option of the new page, or .... ?

[Davey]

I created a new page, and it gave it a template. The template seems to follow the "Custom Page Content" on the left.

ps, see attch. and the note on the attach screen.

[KW802]

I created a new page, and it gave it a template. The template seems to follow the "Custom Page Content" on the left.

ps, see attch. and the note on the attach screen.ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Edit Modules and then using the little arrows underneath the "Custom Page Content" module move it to the center column.

Now, bear in mind, that's assuming that you didn't create any other custom pages using the Custom Page Content that you want to keep on the left. If you did then you'll need to create a new module that does an include on the cmps_guild_members template and then edit your new page to display that new module (your new page would then have "Custom Page Content" clicked off and your new module clicked on).


Edit: PS - You missed blurring out one of the URL references (in the description for "Page Identifier"); if you don't want it known you might want to whack the attachment.

[Davey]

Ah yes, I see. Thanks.
lol it doesn't really matter about that URL biz. :)
Not sure why I edited really. :P

[Davey]

I don't understand how I can get my navigation bar on the left, and my guild_members in the middle. It appears that they both fall under Custom Page Content (navigation bar is in the middle now where i don't want it.)
I tried creating a new module to place the navigation template to be called from it and placed the navigation module on the left, but it doesn't work for some reason.
This is complicated stuff.

I tried creating a new module to place the navigation template to be called from it and placed the navigation module on the left, but it doesn't work for some reason.
This is complicated stuff.The Custom Page Content option is a little bit confusing (it took me a bit to get the hang of what it really does) but in a rule of thumb you could go by is that if you want an item to appear on more than one page, like your navigation bar, then create a new module for it that references your template but if you have a one-off page, just as what you're doing here, then using the Custom Page Content feature will eliminate having to create an unique module just for that one page.

For what you're trying to I'd recommend (a) moving your navigation stuff to be in a new module so that you could then reference it from multiple pages; (b) change the Custom Page Content module back to the middle column; and then (c) on your new page you created go ahead like you did it above of having your cmps_guild_members template in the Custom Page Content field of the page. The end result should your navigation panel in the left column and your guild members module shown in the middle.

Once you get the hang of the Custom Page Content usage it becomes really easy to add new pages but, I'll admit, when I first installed vBa CMPS the concept threw me off and I had to get some insight from Tigga before I really understood it.

Edit: What kind of problem did you have when you tried making your new navigation module? If you let us know the steps you took and the results you got I'm sure we can get you up & running.

[Davey]

OK you're being very helpful, but like you said this is quite complicated, and difficult to explain for a n00b like me :P
check attachments.

cmps_listofmemb.jpg: This is the listing of members when you visit index.php?p=members. This is working as planned. On a sidenote, I wondered if this is possible to grab all the users who belong in the usergroup '8' automatically. But if this is not possible, it's not a problem.

cmps_navmod.jpg: This is the module I created for the navigation bar.

cmps_custpage.jpg: This is how the Custom Page Content looks.

cmps_nonav.jpg: The nav bar should be where the "online users" bit is.

cmps_page_home.jpg: This is how the home 'page' setup looks.

cmps_page_members.jpg: This is how the guild members 'page' setup looks.

cmps_temp_members.jpg: This is the members list template. As you can see, the contents have been hard coded into the html. I don't know where to begin trying to make that automated (select the users from that usergroup and insert them manually, like I said this probably can't be done so therefore I am not too bothered). This comes out okay.

cmps_temp_nav.jpg: This is the navigation template.

If you need any more info, just ask.

[KW802]

cmps_navmod.jpg: This is the module I created for the navigation bar.

cmps_temp_nav.jpg: This is the navigation template.You're 99.9% of the way there! I'm headed out the door but a quick look at the pics you included and the problem with your NavBar looks like it's just a matter of what names you used.

Try this....

(a) Rename your cmps_home_nav template to be adv_portal_cmps_home_nav instead; all of the vBadvanced CMPS templates should be prefixed with "adv_portal_" as part of the name.

(b) Change your "NavBar" module to clear the field named "Templates Used" so it's blank. Since the module is 'including' the template already in the "Or Template to Include" section you don't have to specify it again. Don't make any other changes to the module other than clearing out the "Templates Used" field.

(c) Change your "Default / Homepage" page to clear the field named "Page Template" so it's blank. You only need to fill that in if you are using the Custom Page Content module. On your home page you're not using that module currently so the value for "Page Template" would be blank and the "Custom Page Content" should be unchecked like you have it now.

Make those changes, save everything, and your navigation bar should start appearing on your homepage.

For your "Guild Members" page everything is working fine but if you want the navigation bar to appear on that page also then change the page, after you did the steps above, so that the "Navbar" module is checked on. The only other thing I'd do is rename your "cmps_guildmembers" template to "adv_portal_cmps_guildmembers" so that all of your vBadvanced templates are kept together. If you do rename it then be sure to update the "Page Template" field on the "Guild Members" page to the new name.

Give that a go and you should be OK. If something is still broken I'll be back at a computer again in about 5 or 6 hours so I'll check in then.

[Davey]

That worked amazingly. OMG, you've been fantastic! :D
I hate to ask too much, but what are your comments on making the members list automatically selecting all members from group id '8'? Is this possible for a n00b like myself? lol

Hello rahzel_hx
I had the same problem and the error message was appearing at the top of the page. The problem is in your index.php file.
If you look at the full path to your forum line. it should read something like
/home/yourwebsitename/public_html/forums

NOT

http://www.yoursite.com/forums

I no longer get that error message as far as "Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/spiritno/public_html/cmps_index.php on line 19" goes.

Also, I changed the name of my index.php to indes.old.php and the file
cmps_index.php was renamed to index.php.

Hope this helps.

This is a great addition to my forum. I have it up and running, however there are some image placeholders with x's in them even though I changed the image directory lines as instructed.

[mcyates]

Nothing is showing except my header and footer:

[Zelda-King]

You need to rename cmps_index.php to index.php for one thing.

[mcyates]

changed it to index.php and still exactly the same. It says you can keep it called cmps_index.php untill its been set up.

[Zelda-King]

Yes this is true. It has nothing to do with the problem. It's just several people forget to rename the file and they wonder why their index page doesn't show as the portal.

Apparantly support is best for this hack at the author's home site: www.vbadvanced.com.
