None currently, although I'm sure more options and features will be added to them. At the moment its possible for users to easily add content to them due to the dynamic nature introduced in vBindex 3.0.0 RC4.

Any comment ???

vBindex uses a different navbar template (vbindex_navbar) if you have edited the standard vB one you need to edit this too. The blue should be one of the vB Menu CSS classes towards the bottom.

I had the same issue with previously customized templates. What do I do with the template included with this install? Do I copy and paste the code into my customized templates?

I've also noticed that "Members Online Today" shows ALL of my users which I know is not correct. That is also happening on the main page of my Admin CP. It's showing ALL posts and threads as new today.

One last thing, and I think it's related to the calendar template issue I'm having, but when I click on "April" on my calendar it's adding the beginning of my site url twice which is causing a "page cannot be found" error.

For those who do want to know though. pretty simple, just make a new custom userfield (Either in options, really any place you want though), and in the code wherever it says $bbuserinfo[field5], change the code to whatever the relevent field number is (ie mine is field8). i even made this part of the registration option so they may imput it at registration. Hidden from viewing though. :0

You should overwrite or compare the default vBindex ones with your customised ones to make sure all the features are avalible to you.

If it happens in the ACP too then its probably some problem with vBulletin itself.

NTLDR,

Is there any reason why you moved the headinclude/navbar/pm_popup_scripts templates out to vbindex_headinclude/navbar/pm_popup_scripts, since RC4? The problem I see is that whenever Jelsoft releases an upgrade with changes in those templates, one must apply the changes twice (normal and vbindex_headinclude/navbar/pm_popup_scripts).

has anyone an idea how to create a custom box which include today's events?

i tried to include the code vom the vbulletin index.php for the next 5 days events, but without success ;(
but i think, that a "show today's events box" would be really great :)
