Thanks for the feedback too :)

PHP 4.2.3

It should do this already in vBindex RC3, if the calendar is enabled it should make it wider and if the weekends are on it should get wider again.

Ok thanks, I'll give a try and let you guys know what happens.

Chas.

How can I make it so that if a usergroup is not allowed to view forums, they can still view the vBindex as if they had regular permissions? (So then news would be available, etc. because if I deny permission to all my forums to Guests, then they can't see news articles on vBIndex as well.)

I assume you have it set so guests can view the board, but not view threads, if so find:

PHP Code:


		
			
AND forumid NOT IN (".implode(',', $limitfids).")

And remove that line, this will remove all permissions for the news posts, so anyone will see any posts within the news forums.

Okay thanks, you got me on the right track anyways, I'll have to modify a few things to make it work to my liking :)

is there any way to quickly update the smilie paths? if no what about disabling smilies in the shoutbox... I have almost 100 smilies and dont think I have the patience to go through and edit each one! Wonder why they didn't make it editable in the style section.

How do i include these within another template for example vbindex_header?

Only phpinclude_start and phpinclude_end can contain PHP. In vBindex RC3 you can add templates for PHP code for the extra pages (vbindex_extra_php_X) however no other templates can contain raw PHP (excluding the <if> conditionals).

How do i install this hack to get rid of all the vbindex templates ?

Thanks
M

It would be good to have raw php in every template, because only the admin can access them - would it not be so?

Alternativly you can find in vbindex.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
$shout['shout'] = fetch_censored_text(parse_bbcode($shout['shout']));

And replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
$shout['shout'] = parse_bbcode($shout['shout'], 0, 0);

You have to buffer the output and then add the variable to the template, IIRC the $php_output variable is already in the header template and there is an example of what to do in the phpinclude_start template.

I just installed it, and I was planning breaking the virginity of the How Do I forum, but it appears I'm not cleared to post.

I've been part of the vBulletin Team since we were begging John and James to rewrite it and release it as it's own program so we could get off UBB, so I would certainly hope I'm licensed... ;)

Odd. I'm using RC3 Build 7, but it doesn't widen when the calender is enabled with weekends. It is widened when the calender is enabled though. What might be causing the glitch?

It seems to work fine on my site, I'd check your vbindex_side template and make sure it has the following in it:

HTML Code:

<!-- start side ($currentside) -->

<td width="<if condition="$vbindex['options'] & VBI_SHOWCALENDAR"><if condition="$vbindex['options'] & VBI_SHOWWEEKENDS">230"<else />170"</if><else />150"</if> style="vertical-align: top">

        <if condition="$currentside == 'left'">

                $home[leftblocks]

        </if>



        <if condition="$currentside == 'right'">

                $home[rightblocks]

        </if>

</td>

<!-- end side ($currentside) -->

The $vbindex['options'] <if> blocks are the important parts that adjust the width.

Whats the easiest way to un-install this mod?

hey ndtlr, great mod, i have one question, when i upgraded my forums from vb2, i installed the forums in a new forum directory, i didnt at the time update in my general settings the new url, but when i got vbindex, the old url came up on the navbar alot, so i changed it to the new directory name hoping that wud fix the problem, unfourtunately that didnt help, and next to all of the calender etc, it has the url, which kinda screws up the whole page.

please help!!!

ty.

All the URLs in the templates are controled by the value you have entered in Help Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details -> Board URL. Check this value is correct, if the URLs are still wrong delete your browsers cache to make sure you get a fresh page.

yeah i kno the value is correct and i have done what u said but still the same, next to user cp, calender, new posts, search and quick links my forum url is put jus after it ?

and also before the Forums text jus above the nav bar

not sure what to do lol

cheers for ur help

It seems you have problems with the navbar template, I think I must have mis-understood the question.

Replace your current navbar template with the one included in the zip file :)

lol i think i caught u at a good time, will try now !

-----------------------

where do i upload it to lol sorry

fixed thanks for ur help!!

is there anyway to keep some blocks up on all pages, even when browsing the forums, like how dark wizard has his site: http://www.dpclan.us/forums/, when i go on my forums the left hand sidebars disappear

---------

i signed up to ur forums wit username: Wolf.2k plz make me licensed!

Not currently, I may look into this in the future.

how did Dark Wizard do it on his site, did he modify the code? shall i ask him?

I am having trouble getting the .gif images that define the forum seperators to appear in my Vbindex homepage (the ones that have the gradient etc), all I see is the background colors. I notice that you were able to get yours to work at your Core forum homepage, is there some trick to changing the image paths or something? Or do I need to edit some templates?

TIA
Chas.

You need to edit the table header and category CSS definitions in the style manager.

For smilies path, maybe have something in the next release, where it will find out the /forum/ folder (I believe the user has to input his/her forum folder or something?) and then just append that to the beginning of the smilies path? :)

Satan

All I'm seeing is a blank page when I go to my index...All of the settings are done, it was installed correctly, but I just see a blank page...anyone?

The installation didn't finish, goto vbiupgraded.php?step=7

If I go to the Style manager and bring up the 'Main CSS' the correct paths are already in there for the table header and category strips, and it works fine in the Forum pages. That is why I was asking if there is another place to edit these for the Vbindex page? Please excuse me if I'm missing something here.

Chas.

There should only be the one place where they are defined, see the attached screenshot, I'm not sure if you edited the right part or not. The bit highlighted in the red block need the URL to be changed to http://www.mydomain.com/forum/images or /forum/images for example.

If UPGRADING I recommend deleting all your old vBindex templates before upgrading as I've made changes to ensure you won't lose templates with future upgrades. The query bellow will delete all templates starting with vbindex.

[sql]DELETE FROM template WHERE title like ('vbindex%');[/sql]

Portions Copyright MM - MMIV Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. Both the Jelsoft vBulletin and the Winter Systems vBindex Copyright notice in the footer must stay in place for any page powered by vBindex.

[high]vBindex is *FREE*, please have the courtesy click install if you use this hack, thank you[/high] :)

NTLDR i messed up when i installed it how would i completely uninstall it to reinstall it ??? is there an uninstall script ?

You'll need to reverse all the queries found in the install files. I doubt you have messed it up enough to need to uninstall to re-install though. An uninstaller is planned for the final version.

which upgrade files the install file it uses loads doen't it ?

vbiupgrade1.php, vbiupgrade2.php, vbiupgrade3.php and vbiupgraded.php and the files which perform all the changes.

ok thanx alot i will change the quierys and reinstall also on a personal note this is an awesome portal but what new changes will be in the final release or future upgrades ?

Thanks for the help.
