Yes, download the multipleforums hack located in the first post in this thread.

X-Fan- just checked your site, looks like you got it running ok...You need to run the vbhlindex.php to get your articles showing

Yeah, got it all sussed out :)

Thanks for the tip about the multiforums add-on. I'll grab that straight away!

Is there something similar to allow for multiple usergroups to have the same functionality as journalists, as some of my site's mods are journo's too.

Okay, another question. Is there a way to add a rotating banner ad script (with tracking of impressions and click-thrus + CT%) to the top of every page on site, like vbPortal does?

And still more questions!

I'm a complete HTML dunce. For the life of me, I can't work out how to get a column on the right.

Ideally, what I'd like is:

* rotatable banner ad up the top
* left hand column containing (each in a separate "block") Welcome box, login/logout, private messages (with PM gauge), statistics (total members, total active/inactive, total threads/posts, threads/posts today, visits today), who's online, latest posts, counter
* right hand column with (each in a separate "block") sponsor ad, PayPal donations link, search box, more recent news (apart from those already displayed on the page), poll, affiliates
* at the top of the center column, a "Welcome to" box

Can anyone please help with getting that set-up. I've had a nightmarish week with a site relocation and upgrade that caused a lot of problems. Removing vbPortal seems to have eased the strain a little, but I'm needing the above to get my site's functionality back. I'll be bald by the weekend at the rate I've been pulling my hair out, so I'd really appreciate any help!!!!!

Regarding the multiforums news hack for vBHome, is there a way that the preview of the article displayed on the front page can retain the same formatting (line breaks etc) as the original article? Currently it all just runs together without any paragraph spacing that may exist in the original article.

disable html option. this was done for some older versions of vb that add double <br />'s.

If I disable HTML, won't that mean the images I have in the articles will show up as the HTML code instead?

no

Okay, cool. Thanks for such a great hack, TECK, and for an alternative for those of us not happy with the load vbPortal puts on a server!

Now if I could only get help with setting up a column on the right!
