because originally with mYvBindex it tells you to change the cookie domain to effect .domain.com so if it isnt effecting the root where the portal is your not gonna have much luck

Forum1 cookie domain is .teamrevolution.net and path is /forums

My cookie domain was set tho to effect the whole domain. Thats why I couldnt understand why it was not working.

have you cleared your cookies after making the changes?

I read up to about page 30 and didn't see an answer, forgive me for not reading all.

Somewhere in there I saw a request from Tigga for new features. Is it plausible to keep track of a specific thread using mYvBindex? Or would that bog things down too much?

example: we have a very funny fellow who has an "Ask Blahblah" thread, where people post questions and he replies with amazingly comedic things. I'd like to have the latest post from that single thread tracked on the index page. Is that possible already? Did I miss it?

<edit>I had a poll problem, but it was a PEBCAK error: Problem exists Between Chair And Keyboard</edit>

second problem: i am trying to modify the $welcometext to sit in the $index_header (basically making it a long thin strip to sit in a central <td>). I edited the mYvBindex header, made a table, made a <td>, entered $welcometext and </td>. Nothing showed up when I tested it.

I was able to copy the code out of $welcometext and alter it to fit in my header, but if I log in as unregistered or logout, I don't get the login/pw script like I do with the $welcometext control panel. I don't understand it well enough to know why $welcometext won't show up when inserted into another mYvBindex template? Any ideas?

Thanks!

There is a order that things are called the the index file. If something is below something else it won't show up.

hmm. So if the welcome text is called out of order (for example anywhere before or during the index_header), then it won't work right? Is that what you mean?

because its not getting evaled

take a look at index.php inside your forums directory and look for $welcometext

this should show a few lines of code that make welcometext get evaled copy whats under it into the end of myvbindex.php before the ?>

that should work

I opened the myvbindex.php and found that there is an eval in there --

eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('index_logincode')."\";");

should I replace that with the forum index eval?

this doesn't make sense to me -- the $welcometext works in the myvbindex index template, but not in the index_header template.

doh. nope that didn't work.
