TOPICS

In vbPortal, I post a new story to go on the front page, I can select a TOPIC for it to be assigned to.

For instance, I run a racing website, so when I post a news story, I can select a particular track for the Topic.

Then in a sideblock, I have a dropdown menu that has all the Topics in it, if I select a particular track from the Topic, it will load a page with all the news stories on that particular topic (track).

It also assigns an image that goes in the top right corner of the news story, such as the track logo.

You can see my site at www.stlracing.com and see what I am talking about.

Hey guys, I have request to make.

This one might be familiar to Tigga, since I asked him to do same thing in vBadvanced 2, to which he responded immediately and upgraded his script. I wonder if same addition can be performed in vBadvanced this time round.

In 'Latest Threads' box, I would like to see body (text) of latest posts, on top of what is there already, like thread name, thread starter, dates...).

I think that ability to show a bit of an actual messages on a portal page helps draw people into your forum. Tubedoqq's script springs to mind here.

and very useful will be if all boxes can be moved in any position like UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT or CENTER! ;)

stlracing - I'm not sure if that will ever be a default option, but that might make for a good hack. I can try to look into creating one when I have the time, but I can't guarantee when that will be.

Ivan - Do you mean basically like the preview option on forumdisplay? If so, check vbadvanced.com for v1.1. ;)

M.C. - All of the blocks can easily be moved by editing the index template. They're all well commented, so it shouldn't be hard at all to figure out how to place them where you'd like. ;)

Ok well after running it for a few days on a 550+ concurrent user site.. I got several bugs..

1 is that the portal can't sustain the users.. even though the queries are low.. it takes the portal time to draw itself out. ( this is still with the server at .78 load ) I've used both my modified and non modified version of the templates and it makes no diffrence.

while being out of the /forums/ directory the whole portal acts diffrently.. some things work some thing do work.. I think for later versions you should make it in the control panel where you can specify where your vbadvanced is located so that the program recognizes the proper paths.

Addition of new blocks:

I've tried diffrent methods and the only way to get a new block is to hardcode the code on the index or hardcode into the template. I think there should be a feature where you can add new templates at will and able to add diffrent types of blocks ( ie php , regular html etc)

Question:

Is there a simple way just to pull out the header/ and blocks using a regular php page? ( I am just wondering since in 2.0 you could but everything seems diffrent under 3.0)

I'm not getting the dates to display on the front page with version 1.1. Any ideas?

The site www.clantt.com

quick question: when i installed vba, my list of members, posts and threads as well as "who's online" went to the main index page...this is fine, however, what can i do to ALSO have it at the bottom of my forum listing page like it was before?

one other thing is that with IE (does not happen with netscape), i have red x's for certain icons and i can't figure out where to fix it. it is hard to explain, but you can see it here:

http://www.thevividedge.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=15

really frusrated with it so any help would be great.

Can Anyone help me with this. Did not have till i upgraded to 1.1 amd yes i added the function.php edit

FastAttack - Could you explain your problems in a little more depth? What exactly do you mean by "can't sustain the users"? How exactly does it act differently when outside of the forums directory?
I did notice that the page seems to fluctuate in loading times though... Sometimes it loaded in less than 1/2 second, others it took up to 3. If you could add this line of code to your include/config.php file:

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '24.99.20.118') { $debug = 1; }

That will turn on debug mode only for my IP address. If you could add that I will be glad to take a look at the queries and such to see if I can find out why it's behaving like that.
As far as new blocks, I may make it a little easier to add / manage new ones, but I don't think I'll go too far with that on this script. It should be fairly easy to copy one of the custom templates and past it in your index template where you would like it to appear as long as you know basic HTML. I will eventually have a CMS / Portal available for purchase which will be much more powerful and have features like this as well.
What exactly do you mean by "pull out the header/ and blocks using a regular php page"? If you're trying to display your header & side blocks with other content in the center, take a look in the readme file - it's explained there how to do that. If that's not what you mean please explain it in a little more detail.

infiniterb - Try saving your options in the Admin CP. There's a new option to set the time/date format for the news there. That, and the other new options won't take affect until after they've been saved.

Do you have an IM so I can explain myself a little bit more in detail.. I know sometimes I don't make any sense ( bad habit its called brain storming of what i think is going on)

you been pm'd btw Tigga..

Carolinakid, I just got the same thing on my board.

did you just upgrade from vB2 ?

Faranth, I can tell you that I didn't upgrade from vb2 recently. I've had vb3 for awhile now. All I did was save the changes from the control panel for vbadvance and it started to send these errors to me.

like infiniterb all i did was upgraded my vbadvance to 1.1 and saved changes in control pannel
* I am running Vb3 RC3 and have been sence it came out.*

look around 276 in adv_index.php and see if you have I think he just updated the zip cause the other version i downlaoded did not have it.

if you guys drop by vBadvanced.com i know the most current zip is there ;)

Thanks Carolinakid, the fix worked for me. Must have been a bad zip uploaded originally.

that would be great... :)

but thanks anyway... great job... :)

Hi there - nice work this but i have a problem !

Calendar size - but then reading through here I found the answer to that!

Second is my news posts are messed up !

I only get 2 of currently 6 or 7, and only one of those two actually has the news showing.

any ideas ?

http://forum.fps-underground.co.uk/adv_index.php

Thanks for your time :D

Ee-Ore

In your adv_index.php find the Calendar section and change the cellpadding from '4' to '2' and that will fix the calendar alignment.

In your AdminCP under VBadvance Option, how many news articles do you have it set to show? 2 ?

Did you update all your threads, posts, indexing, etc ?

On vbadvanced Gamma I had to do that and it fixed the same problem you're having.

Just to butt in: fantastic. Works like a charm on RC3.

Don't forget to click the Install Button

I'm having problems with my header/footer navigation. I've installed the vbarcade and the link from the header is incorrect. domain.com/arcade.php instead of domain.com/forum/arcade.php

In addition, the mod link at the bottom isn't corret. domain/mod.php. Where can I change these? I've triple checked everything else and it seems correct.

All Sorted thanks :D

In your index_footer, is this code in the URL for modcp ? When you say header, are you referring to the Navigation? On mine, I opened the navbar template and added in front of all the forum links.

Adding ../forums/ to the footer fixed my navigation issues. Great Portal does everything I've needed and I'm finding it rather easy to add on the extra stuff that I want.

Aceman
www.scifi-meshes.com (running vbadvanced 1.1)

that bug should have been fixed for 1.1

Yup, it was. If your links aren't correct then you probably just need to revert your index_footer template. ;)

Guys I have a question.......

How can I change the NAV bar to be like your forums tigga and faranth

register at vBa and check out this thread
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?p=155

This could be a bug...

When you make a news post, and then edit the title of the post, the previous title will show on the portal page, but will remain edited in the forums...

on www.clantt.com check out the post that says A little under 23 hours remaining. Click on the link to go to that thread and it will show you the edited title.

I'm keep getting minor problems with this hack. Obviously i'm doing something wrong but i can't figure out what went wrong. I'ts re-installed a couple of times and now the settings in admincp are not visible. :(

Define not visable?

you mean you cant see the Text but the settings are still there?

or just totaly not there?

Totaly gone. Wierd is that it displays almost correct as in the old settings.
