yeah have to agree with you Carlos if someone can tinker with code and keep menu to left with same options etc and sort board out then they onto a winner

Thanks for letting me know DWZ, I'll update the installer.

What happens when users logout currently? Are they automaticly redircted or do they have to click to get to the forums index?

For the next release I will try and make an all-in-one installer that will perform fresh installs and upgrades and give warning prior to making changes.

See PM with updated attachment ;)

This will redirect all users who vote on the poll on the home page that have $bbuserinfo['userid'] set to 0, ie guests and users not logged in will be redirected to the results of the poll when they vote. Just overwrite your existing vbipoll.php with this one and replace" VBINDEX FILE NAME" with the name of the file before the .php :)

As requested by Mr_P I will be looking into doing this in a future version ;)

Its just a case of of adding the statment to eval the template in the relevent php files and editing the templates.

If you have complated the installation you should have a set of templates called vBindex Templates which have a number of home and home_ templates within it, these are the templates that need to be edited.

I guess the server can't handle the number of queries for the page or that you have a slow connection.

Before I try this (vBIndex), I'd like to know if it is possible to uninstall, with ease.

What is changed, in my original, vBulletin forums, by running the vbi_install.php script?

Thanks,

Only two things are changed, a field is added to the usergroup table for usergroup permissions and the templates are also automatically installed into your templates table.

In order to uninstall it requires you to run two sql statements to undo the changeds made by vbi_install.php

I probably won't have to uninstall it :D but just in case I do, where do I find those two SQL statements?

Thanks,

The first one is:

This will delete *all* templates starting home, the second is:

This will remove the permissions field from the usergroup table.

An uninstaller will be included in the next version to do this ;)

Ok, it seemed to install ok. It can be seen at: vBIndex on my forums

Now a question. When a person goes to a forum, what is the proper way to get back to this index? Should the HOME button get you back to the index?

I guess I can make it whatever I like but I was looking for the proper way.

Also, I notice that when I LOG IN or LOG OUT, I'm taken to my forums rather than the index.

Have I missed something?

Or, should I be renaming vbindex.php to index.php?

I personally have two buttons at the top, home (vBindex) and forums

This is where vBulletin logs you into by default, check the last page with the details I gave DWZ on how to correct this and I will PM you the file you need as I can't post it here.
