vb.org Archive - vBindex v3.0.0 RC5

According to Kier the only template thats changed in vB 3.0.0 (that vBindex uses) is the headinclude template, the following is an edited vB 3.0.0 one incase anyone has problems:

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=$stylevar[charset]" />

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $versionnumber" />

<meta name="keywords" content="$vboptions[keywords]" />

<meta name="description" content="$vboptions[description]" />



<!-- CSS Stylesheet -->

$style[css]

<if condition="is_browser(....

Not sure if this is my problem but from a fresh install of VB Gold and VBIndex RC5, I cnfigure for blocks on left and/or right and see absoutely nothing....
How *DO* you get the columns to show. Do I need a special CSS or header include code or something?

I have Vbulletin gold, fresh install to http://localhost/forum as the root
I install vbIndex RC5 fresh install and configure vbiconfig.php to this:
define('CHDIR_PATH', '');
as specified from my install.

I surely MUST be missing something here...?
I see no nchanges in my layout, no blocks or anything. Its as if I've install vbindex and nothing has changed...

I had NO errors installing either..

Any help ...please....
TIA

The define in vbiconfig.php should point to your forms directory, for example:

PHP Code:


		
			
define('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/site/www/forums');

So it should in my case say:

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/forum');

or

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/localhost/forum');

This is a local test installation before I change my real site.
(http://peburi.ebario.com -in case you doubt me...)

-OR- since I am using IIS, should it really be the full local path:

I have the forum installed at d:\inetpub\vbulletin as the root.
In which case would the above be:

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/inetpub/vbulletin');

or
define('CHDIR_PATH', '/inetpub/vbulletin/');

Incidentally - do I need to code the blocks in separate files or will the vbindex installation handle creating all of this for me?

The installation does everything except what you are explicity instructed to do by the installer/install ibstructions.

Your path should be:

PHP Code:


		
			
define('CHDIR_PATH', 'd:/inetpub/vbulletin');

Sorry,

No go. I changed it as you said and nothing. I get no errors, no messages, but also nothing changes on my layout. I'm using the single default style installed with Gold, no modifications. Everything is freshly installed.

Do I have to make any changes elsewhere?

Do you know of any other users installing on IIS 5 who have installed it OK?
I'm really loathe to install on my live site, although I may give it a go as its reasonably lite on the changes, except on the database...?

Any way I can turn on debugging to see where its going wrong?

Thanks again for your help.

Incidentally, perhaps including a mention about "full local path" with the example you provide in the documentation (and for me) with would alleviate the confusion?

Now, all I have to do is get it to work...

People have got it to work on Win32, not sure if its with Apache or IIS. The only issue is setting that path correctly or if it is set correctly then check you have the vbindex_* templates listed in the style manager, if they are not there then thats the problem.

Only threads which members have permission to view and shown thus only previews to threads they can view and shown.
