The buddy list works fine with vBindex.

Ok, i know this has probably been covered already but this thread is really long lol. I want to make my header a flash file so i would like to make that part of the home template a frame and then the rest of the index page its own frame so when a person clicks on a link, only the bottom frame will reload. Not the header. I have been messin around with the html and cant get it to work. I am a total noob when it comes to html lol, but this is what i was tryin to do in the home template:
<iframe width="790"height="200" >$homeheader</iframe>

Using an iframe to do this would be pointless. You either need to modify the PHP so that it will eval the lower frame and make the home template contain the frames.

The link to download vBindex 1.3 is not working on this site. Anyone know how/where I can get it?

I know it should be working, but it is not working on mine.(only works in forum)

But that's okay. I removed the buddy section. Thanks!

One more question NTLDR, how can I show the stats info of user with the stats addon?

I edited the vbindex.php file already, but no matter I add to the left column templete, I always got a sql error? Can you show me where to add the poster html and forum threads html? Thanks!

my polls wont show, it just shows the vote button

Please READ the thread. I've this question must have been asked on every single page by now :rolleyes:

Thank You.

well there are 38 pages to this thread, do u think i or anyone else has time to read them all?

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=281735#post281735" target="_blank">here</a>

And I suppose I HAVE got the time to post the same answer time and time again? :rolleyes:

Incase it haden't escaped your notice the solution is even posted in the first post of the thread which you clearly haven't read.

I am on the fence here.....I like vbindex and I also like vbhome (lite)

What I am looking for is one of them that has a maxcharacters limit because some of the posts in my news forum can get so long that they muck up the look of the portal page.

Would you be able to add that to vbindex? because I would really like to use that one

NTLDR.. is TECK, not TECH... on the credits. ;) :)
thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to show more then one poll on the vbindex page ?
i have read 99% of them...

Sorry TECK, I'll change it straight away ;)

New Features That Will Be In 2.1

• Shoutbox;
• Full Admin CP integration, for max threads, forumid's etc;
• Set the length of news posts;
• Switch vBindex on or off independantly of your board;
• Switch functions of via the ACP to save queries;
• New installer/unistaller.

You would need to change this query:

And create a while loop similar to that of the news/threads. I don't have time to write/test it now but i'll try and look into it. If you page seems to have a high load time then I don't recoment this as the poll seems to increase this servely for some people.

Changing the sql is the 1st thing I did then got stuck in the php part of things...
I will look into the while loop.

In the next couple of days I hope to realease vBindex 2.1 Beta 3. This will be pretty much the same as 2.1 Final, but it won't have the installer done.

This will include all the new features mentioned above, bar the new installer/uninstaller.

how easy will it be to upgrade, ntldr?
especially if we've changed a lot of the templates.

There will be a few queries to run to add the options to the ACP and you will need to upload the new PHP file. As for template changes there is only a couple of edits and a few new templates for the shoutbox.

how many querries is it averaging now, ntldr?
(the new one, of course.)

Currently with everything enabled it adds one extra query to collect the shouts, however I do intend to optimise the threads/news queries before it goes final.

WOW! I need 2.1! :)

In future will be a topic sistem like *nuke?

vBindex 2.1 RC1 will be released in the next few hours :D

Why type of topic system did you want? I've never really understood how they work ;)

Here is RC1 of vBindex 2.1 :D

Hey NTLDR, I am curious as to where the query to insert the shoutbox information in the db is?

I know with TWT's hack you had to do the following:

Will this still hold true for the RC1 version of vBindex2.1?

I'm a bit hesitant to jump right on this install yet since there isn't an installer included and I've already got the shoutbox implemented on my main site per conversations we've had here before. My only concern is should I step back through the shoutbox hack, remove everything, and then install your solution? Or should I attempt to leave things as they are and JUST update the other vBindex features knowing that I may run into higher query issues? :)

Great hack as always.

There are no queries for the shoutbox if you already have it installed, which RC1 assumes you have.

In your case LightBringer, you just need to run the queries in the vbiqueries.sql file to add the options to the CP and then upload the new vbindex.php file. Thats it :D The only other change for you would be to add $readmore into the home_newsbit template if you intend on shortening the newsposts.

Hope thats helps ;)

That does help for the most part NTLDR, the issue I have now is that some of the templates are a bit off.

For instance: TWT's hack requires shoutbox_error.
Your hack requires: home_shoutbox_error.

There's a few others like this and I'm unsure which of those to change. Should I just rename the ones you've got listed in your hack to match mine?

doh...
i just realized something else after installing.
You've got the random quote hack code inside vbindex.php but some of us don't have that hack installed. :/ So it's popping up with a database error at the moment.

Ok, I have commented out the random quote hack code, and I am now receiving the following db error:

Sorry about the quote hack bit, I was sure I deleted that :rolleyes: Zip updated now.

Have you changed and submitted the options in the Admin CP?

Yup, I sure did. As long as I have the latest threads option turned off in the ACP, it pulls up the vbindex page.

I've also noticed that the news section isn't pulling the appropriate NEW posts. What it is pulling is the latest new post and all the replies associated with it. :/

You can see that on my site I have the news set to 5, but it's not pulling the 5 new posts as I stated.

http://www.brainphreeze.com/forums/vbindex.php

Thats strange. I have the exact same code as in the Zip file running here: http://www.thesistersthree.com/vbindex.php Which is working file and you can see.

You do only have one forumid specified for each forum in the ACP?

You bet. :)
If I set up that particular news forum so that there are no replies allowed, then it works fine, but as long as there are comments associated with the post, those comments show up as news items on the front page.

I'm not sure if that helps or not.

Thats a slight oversight on my part, the board I was testing with didn't have any replies in the threads. To use the new query reduced code will require an alteration to the thread table to store the first postid when a newthread is started.

After a load of thinking and testing I have come up with these changes you need to do.

[sql]ALTER TABLE thread ADD tpostid int( 10 ) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL[/sql]

In newthread.php find:

After it add:

This will only add the extra query when starting threads in the news forum, of course you can just add the query without the if to add it to all posts.

And upload the new vbindex.php that is attached. Just the threads to look into now.

so, anyone know where I can get the 1.3 version? The link doesn't work.

Looks great! :D

Hey NTLDR, any comments about the template names by chance?

For instance: TWT's hack requires shoutbox_error.
Your hack requires: home_shoutbox_error.

There's a few others like this and I've renamed the those within the the new vbindex.php to match accordingly. Is this correct?

Perhaps it'd be better to update the first Post and prune this thread to the important Posts.
