sorry, before when i search the search feature didnt work for me...... im sorry

I have seen a post or two about editing the path to smilies to get them to appear on the vbindex page but where exactly do you edit the paths? In the admin cp I find paths to alot of image groups but not smilies (?)

Chas.

Check out this -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=528 <- if you feel comfortable with that ...

Otherwise, in Smilies > Smilie Manager > edit each smilie entry manually ...

Thanks, I got it working now besides screwing it up the first time :P I used your script but I think I needed to leave out the trailing '/' to make it work, and subsequent attempts to use it just added on more paths before the original '/forum/' entry that I made.
I was able to fix it in the smilie manager as you mentioned. I am saving that script for when I get a whole bunch of custom smilies, that will make fixing multiple paths very easy.

Chas.

how can i add the bars to everypage??

also how can i create new pages that integrate the bars

i just made a replacement variable for smilies. easy enough

The first post links to the tutorial with exact instructions on howto do this.

Is there any way to have [img] tags NOT shown in vbIndex? I'd rather them turn up as links instead of images. Is this possible?

Only by turning it off in the said forum or in the ACP currently.

Okie, that's what I thought. Thanks. :)

Any idea how I could make my calendar smaller so that I can show all 7 days??
I tried to mix and match some of the hacks from the 'other' portal choice but I'm not having any luck.
I prefer to stick with Vbindex for my portal, but the calendar thing is important to me.

Chas.

You need to edit the 'calendar_smallmonth_day_other','calendar_smallmon th_header' and 'calendar_smallmonth_week' template and adjust the sizes there, in particular the fon't size.

damn, 41 pages... any tutorials on creating custom side blocks?

Thanks guys!

Christian

Well, I give it a try:
First, define how many custom blocks you want to have within the vbioptions-panel. Save this and then you can assign the new boxes wherever you want them.

To fill content into your custom boxes, go into the admin panel from your VBulletin board:
Go into style manager, and then into "Edit Templates"
Under custom templates, you should see "Vbindex" and further down the list your custom boxes: "vbindex_customblock_1", "vbindex_customblock_2", etc.

Edit these (all within the template editor in VBulletin).

Hope this helps. Took time for me to figure it out, but now works flawless.

ahhhh sweeeet!!!

Thanks Bloch!! I didn't notice them before!

Christian

btw is gonna be a new version out anytime soon? (just curious) :)

When its done :p There won't be many changes in the next release.

I am having the same login problem. Where do I check the cookie path at?

ACP -> vBulletin Options

Hmmm... as an experiment I already tried pasting the suggested changes from the vbadvanced version of portal (as that has worked for me on a test machine) but somehow they don't seem to work with Vbindex at my main site. I wonder if something is overiding those settings. (?)
Another question, other than the font settings, what else can you change in there? It doesn't seem like there is that much info in some of those templates. And does it refer to a stylesheet somewhere that defines 'class="smallfont"', maybe that can be edited directly?

Chas.

The font sizes etc can be adjusted from Style Manager, the Smallfont section. You can of course change the text in the calender templatesto be any size etc by removing the class and changing it to your own definition.

Ok, thanks. I'll do some more fooling with it there. I appreciate your help.

Chas.

Oh i see.. just curious lol :)

The polling is not working because there is an error in the database and the news is not working because there is no file call vnews.php as I saw in vbindex.php on line 541 and the navbar is not working and I saw an error page in vbindex.php

I think that there is edit in the html files and one file missing (vnews.php)

i have vB 3.0.0 RC3

Make sure that you actually have a poll to use and that you correctly identify the forum ID number of both the 'news' forum and the 'poll' forum, otherwise you will get a database error on your home page.
Sometimes it is better to disable those features, temporarily, while you set up the Vbindex homepage.

Chas.

It would be fine, if, for example, I could have my poll box not on the side, but as the first top thread in the center, where the latest new come up - you could add that function. Another good thing would be a random photo box from a picture gallery or atleast a random member with his avatar ...

I've got this?

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Documents and Settings\Teilchenbeschleunige\Desktop\Site\vbindex .php on line 132

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\Documents and Settings\Teilchenbeschleunige\Desktop\Site\vbindex .php on line 132

Anybody knows what I could do???

I've got the same threads showing up in my center column and "latest threads." Any idea on how to stop this? Right now I've got forums 1 and 3 for the center news area, and I'm trying to exclude forums 1 and 3 from the latest threads but it isn't working.

Here's where you'll see the duplicate entries:

I tried the fix below and it gave me a parse error.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I've got a small problem where the footer to my website seems to be showing up in the 3d column rather then at the bottom of some users browsers. Not all... just some.

This stretches out that 3d column and makes it huge. Any suggetions?

You have not settup the options correctly. Also don't enable the vBwar option (which will come with vnews.php) as its not even been released yet so you can't use it. Please make sure you have followed every step in the instructions.

You haven't edited vbiconfig.php correctly as per step one of the install. If your *positive* you have done it correctly try editing the '\' so its C:/Docuuments.... etc So '\' becomes '/'.

Please restore the Winter Systems and Jelsoft copyright to your vBindex footer as per the terms in the first post of this thread. Thank you :)

Have you edited the templates at all? The vbindex_footer template should close the main table and appear in the center. This is probably caused by either the navbar or the vbindex_footer template.

Yes, I have edited the navbar template to add a few options such as a chatroom. I also have edited the vbindex_footer to add a link at the bottom of the page but my problem was occurring BEFORE I did the footer edit.

You've missed the closing </tr> before the </table> tag in your quick links custom block.

Ok, thank you. I've made that change, but it hasn't correct the problem unfortunately. I have another computer here which is still displaying the footer in the 3d column.

Take a look through the W3C validator and correct the problems shown there at least, there are far to many errors on the page for me to go through them all I'm afraid.

Whoops! I restored the copyright text ... sorry about that.

Any idea why I'm getting the same posts under the center news and my "latest posts"? The fix I found that you posted earlier only gave me a parse error.

Thanks.

Thank you! It helped!

Thank you :)

What have you entered into the news forum ids option? The latest threads should exclude them automatically, you don't need to add the to the exclude option as that should exclude them from the news too ;)

Are you sure you did the fix exactly as shown? Its works fine for me.
