Support for vBindex is only at Core Forums as the origional announcement clearly stated.

[high]vBindex 3.0.0 RC1 Release Information[/high]

I'm pleased to announce RC1 of vBindex 3.0.0. RC1 brings in a few new features that I've been working on since the start of vBindex 3.0.0 which I'm now pretty confident work as expected. Here are the major changes since Beta 3:

• Callendar, with links to events;
• Poll, with the option to select a random poll from a given set of forums;
• Optimised code;
• Only 5 queries with everything switched off, and still only 12 with all options turned on, that 6 queries less than our nearest competitor!
  Note, you should apply this fix by Kier to save 2 queries for non Super Moderators.
• Fully phrased, both the vBindex Options and the front end are 100% phrased;
• Enhanced news posts and latest threads;
• Option to show disabled postshout area to unregistred users;
• Todays birthdays;
• Custom blocks, add unlimited custom side blocks and control them all from the ACP;
• View all shouts, a full page shoutbox built it;

Visit Core Forums to obtain your copy of RC1 and see a full working demo :D

Due to the restrictions on discussing vB3 hacks and Addons here at vB.org, vBindex 3.0.0 Support will only be given over at Core Forums when you have PM'ed either myself or hellsatan your Core Forums username to us via the vB.org PM System.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /home/www/audiokarma/forums/vbindex.php on line 174

This was the response when I tried to run vbindex.php from the forums directory for the first time. Is this a typo I created during editing or possible copied over one to many symbols?

Parse errors are kinda like the default error of php...I'd recommend checking your paths and then rechecking your installation. Also, re-upload all your related files in manual ASCII mode via FTP instead of Auto. See if those things help.

Follow what themonarch said and double check the editing, I expect you copied an extra line or something.

Thanks people, I re-edited and re-uploaded the vbindex.php and it now works. I do have another question though. The resulting page uses the default vbulletin header. How do I get the page to use the custom header I use for the forums. This is data saved in the header block of the style section via the admin console for vbulletin.

I guess I should look before I leap. I did find the vbindex header template and edited to suit. Thanks for a really great hack. Now if I can just get the shout to work...but that's another thread.

Hello again - you guys and gals must hate newbies. LOL! What template specifies the "Guest Please Register" avatar in the welcome panel. I need to edit this with a $bburl so the image shows up with the file now outside the forums directory.

The home_login template :)

Do I need to edit something in vbindex or shoutbox to get the smilie icons to show up in the shoutbox posts on the vbindex page? They show up fine from the regular forums and shoutbox pages. So, I'm thinking it's because my vbindex runs from outside my forums folder. Just need to edit the path to the icon folder, but don't know which template to edit.
