HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

DOVBANYI hack!

Well I have SQL errors with this hack, it's trying to access other databases for some reason ;)

Does that complicate things even more? :D

Okay everyone with header errors try using the full http path when including the file.

i.e. <? include ("http://yoursite.com/forum/webwelcome.php"); ?>

This solved my problem, but I still have the problem of it not recognising my cookie, which is very annoying.

Can anyone else tell me if they are successfully using this hack on 2.2.9?

I dont think this hack is hard but I cant get it working!

Apologies for my abscence. I'm not installing/writing any more vb mods until vbulletin V3 is out, so I haven't been here for a couple of months.

gohanssj2:
The page hasn't accessed your vbulletin global.php file. Probably a problem with the paths of the include statement on your page.

Bubba:
Are you by any chance runing phpadsnew? There's a known problem with phpadsnew overloading a site's cookie file and causing very random, obscure logout / session expire problems.

Wells:
I've not come across this problem before. It looks like a problem with the paths. Check your include statement on your main page, as well as any other paths in the script. Some servers require the full include path.

Frank:
Are you accessing other databases on your page?
Try adding where "vbulletin"is the name of your vb database, before the include for the webwelcome.php file.

Glo:
I'm running it on vb2.2.9 - I never could understand why it doesn't work on your server. The files you sent to me worked fine on mine :(

Hi Darren,

HOw are you!

I have managed to get it to work to some degree.

It will display the login screen if a guest comes on, but it truncates the "There are currrently X users online" cutting it back to "There are currently X" You can try it at www.glo-racing.com/v3/test.php

When I have already logged into vBulletin, it wil display the correct "Welcome message, but again, truncates the "There Are currently X.......

Its really quite strange.

Plus, if I add it to a html page, and change it to a php extension, the php will not work???

I don't know if I was right in doing this, but I simply added:

chdir("../community");
require('global.php');

inside the webwelcome.php file and it works like a charm. Anyone sees any problems with this?

Hi Tyorke,

Is your directory structure set up so that the forums are situated on the same level as your main site?

In my case, my directory structure is a little different with the forums located at www.glo-racing.com/forums and my main page situated at www.glo-racing.com/v3/main.html

However this shouldnt have any bearing on the outcomeas long as the paths are correct!

yes, basically. My site is www.nhl-league.com and my forums are community.nhl-league.com same as www.nhl-league.com/community

The only thing that I see wrong with this is that my count is off. It says there are "6 members online" meanwhile only 4 are displayed. Not sure if it includes people in invisible mode, I guess not.
