]Damn TECK... long time I have been here... I still remember my beta tests of first releases of vbHome! was about 130 queries or so... Hehe ;) I know u still remember it :)

Just wanted to say that this hack is still number one for me at whole vBulletin.org! Thanx for everything you gave to this forum and its users... and our friendship.

I will not talk about all these releases of vbHome with better code with less queries every time and support that u gave to users. Just enough to look at post number one in this thread to understand how much work u put in this hack...

Man, you simply rock! :D

Peoples like you ... ah... U're just the best! :)

Well said, Woolf.

I don't know if this came up before because I can't read all 107 posts.

Setup went well, easy as pie, but this error comes up when I try to access the page:

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.6:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads, SUM(IF(forumid<>, 1, 0)) AS threads, SUM(IF(forumid=, 1, 0)) AS headlines

Nevermind. It works now :)

Thansk for a great hack! I love it! And I know my members will too.

Cheers.

Anitah, if you installed my script... can you tell me why you didn't click the Install button?
Just curious.

Oh, I didn't realize.

TECK, I'm glad you're around. Hopefully you can help me out.

I first installed this on a test board. Had a little problem, as you can see by my previous post. Resolved the problem simply by rewriting the path and uploading the index.php once again. But now installing on my regular board brings another error:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the THE PLACE database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

This doesn't tell me much.



I suspect the problem might be with my path.

Here's what I did in the index.php file:

chdir('/home/mysite/public_html/forum');

Uploaded index.php to my public_html directory.

Presumably www.mysite.com/index.php should bring it up, right?

I have no idea because I'm very dumb about these things.

Dear Readers,

first of all I want to thank Teck a lot for this awesome Hack. The potential of it nearly seems unlimited, and I got lots of ideas how to design and tweak it, but I got some serious problems with the install, as I'm morely some Web Designer than a Hacker, and my Knowlegde of DB and Server Structure isn't that good. I ask you for your help and apologize for any Inconveniance I make to you:

Some general Things:

vB Home Lite url is http://gslallianz.de
my Forums are at the sub-Domain http://foren.gslallianz.de (if you want, take a look at them, they're about 1 Months old )

Here is what I did during Installation Process:

Step 1: I made a copy of http://foren.gslallianz.de/admin/template.php and added
(URL of vBHL, not the Forums)

Step 2: Made a copy of http://foren.gslallianz.de/member.php and replaced the passages as told by you.

Step 3: Made a copy of http://foren.gslallianz.de/newthread.php and replaced the passages as told by you.

Step 4: Opened vBHL index.php and edited the passage. As I did not know what to fill in there, I copied info.php on the domain and the subdomain, and it told me the following:

gslallianz.de: /www/htdocs/thesaint/info.php
foren.gslallianz.de: /www/htdocs/cea/info.php

I tried out filling in
and
Step 5: Edited the Template via the ACP as told.

Step 6: Changed Imagesfolder to http://foren.gslallianz.de/images and deleted $bburl/ in front of https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images (no spaces) in the templates bbcode and standarterror

Step 7: Edited all Smilies

Step 8: Edited the Avatars

Step 9: Renamed Moderators to Journalists

Step 10: Created the new Forum

Step 11: copied index.php to http://gslallianz.de
copied printarticle.php and newthread.php to http://gslallianz.de/forum
copied template.php to http://gslallianz.de/forum/admin
copied the images to http://gslallianz.de/forum/images


Then I wanted to coll up http://gslallianz.de/forum/admin/vbhlinstall.php but all I get is blank pages everywhere. I have no Idea how to solve this Problem, so I told you as detailed as I can, what I did, and hope you can help me.

I apologize for my english, but as I'm from Germany I got some difficulties to describe these Problems.

Sincerely, TheSaint-AeD

Remove the http:// from your chdir setting. It should look like this instead


Let me know if that helps.

Step 4 of the readme first explains how to set the correcr path.
