Hackers create hacks for your benefit, and most do not work for vBulletin - Those that post hacks here who do work for vBulletin are not required to give you support for the hacks that they post - Your support entitles you to support for the basic product, unhacked... People offer their support for their hacks or for your board voluntarily as NTLDR said, so show some respect...

That is amazing... utterly amazing.

This guys missed the concept of a hack. NTLDR worked and toiled many hours to create and test this great hack, plus all the hours of work to package it in a form that other people could use, work for which the author gets zero benefit because he already knows how to use it, and you the user get all the benefit.... without the hack, the alternative would be???? Coding it yourself? Then questions would be answered by... you???? How many hours would that take? Probably more than the 39 minutes wait time before the sparks flew here.

I think you need to do a bit of homework before blasting the hand that feeds you. My guess is this guy didn't even know that NTLDR is the author of the hack. NTLDR has been very, very, very helpful to anyone who bothers to put minimal effort into solving the problem, shows a bit of patience, and as the prior responder mentioned... a little respect for the great job done with this code. You didn't pay anything for the hack, so that means NTLDR isn't getting paid to write it, and he certainly isn't getting anything for putting up with rude ungreatful people.

WELL SAID! :banana:

well well lookie here, the minute the board gets some fire to it, all the little people come runnin......not bad timing fellas, i think we made record timing here for the books boys....now if we can work with this, go that little extra mile and start helping those who need assistance, there shouldn't be any problems........ :cross-eyed:

go vb go!

congrats again on the response time guys, kudos!

When you grow a brain, learn to use it, and realise we won't be helping you, please tell someone who will actually care...:)

Have a pleasant day;)

Usually I wouldn't step in an arugment, but I will this time.

mv540, you waited exactly 34 minutes before you bumped your question which is about 23 hours less than most people bump. Now it may be because this hack isn't working, but to be honest, there is no need to be rude like you were, something like "Please help me" would of been better than what you posted. As NTLDR said, no hacker is here 24/7 to help you when you demand it. Try doing something else for a few hours, come back then you may have gotten the support you wanted.

I posted this in support, but does anyone know how I would change the look of the main page that vbindex.php is on?

It looks like a web portal right now, like php nuke in some ways. I've seen sites do it, but how can I change it so the layout is the layout I used in the pass; only I implement a few functions, such as the news and the poll?

What templates do I edit? Or is it a file?

Also; on the charmed website which was shown as an example, I noticed you used vbIndex to create a review section, I think. How would I go doing that?

My site is doing just what you described if you check it out. You will need to edit a lot of templates, and create many new ones to do what I've done, but I'd start with the main page and go from there. I'd also recommend reading back through this thread. I posted pretty detailed instructions on some of what I've done, and there are many other tips to help as well.

vbIndex has its templates grouped under vbIndex Home Page templates. Start with "home", and you should be able to figure it out. The names are obvious. If you need to do anything complex, you may need to modify the php file, but it is layed out to make it pretty easy as well (if you no some php).

The Charmed site has a lot of stuff that isn't part of vbIndex, like the reviews section. You'll need to look at other hacks to do that, and possibly combine some things.

just wondering I see you are making one for vb3 will the portal for that be out when vb has relased the RC version?

@FulsionV8 to expand on what mccollin said, its the home* templates you will needed to edit.

@Mythril yes, I hope to have vBindex 3.0.0 released shorty after vB.org allows vB3 hacks :)

i know, im sorry guys...was having a rough week. everyone is entitled to having few bad days a year.

cheers..
