well this thread is for 3.0.7, if you goto the maker of this script's website and download the cmps 2.0.0, and if your it doesn't bother you too much you'll see in the drop down menu version 3.5.1 and vb3.0.10 :P

the url www.vbadvanced.com

We followed the instructions, did everything we were asked to do at vBadvanced, and this product breaks our board. We have been using vB for so many years I can't count, long before there was vB 2.0, and have installed and deleted many working hacks. We have paid for special mods, etc.

My message is that we are not "rookies" and have considerable knowledge of UNIX and Linux :-) and we can't get this to work and can't get meaningful support or normal communications from vBadvanced.

We offered to pay for the install at vBadvanced (based on their advertised install rate) if they would agree to use SSH v. very insecure FTP, and they did not answer our PM. What's up with that?

We do not recommend, from a security perspective, that people use FTP on active, large boards. FTP transfers passwords in clear text. This is dangerous, as everyone knows. So why does vBadvanced not answer our offer to pay their standard install rates if they use SSH v. FTP?

I can't get an answer from vBa. The folks their (and here) responsible for vBa will not communicate, I'm sorry to post. My guess is they are too busy on other projects... but it seems that when they advertise on their site that they will install vBa for a fee, they could at least have the professional courtesy to answer the SSH v. FTP question, don't you think?

If the vBa team are not going to support this hack, please be so kind to let us know so we can "move on" to other tasks and hacks.

Update:

We regret to inform that we removed vBadvanced CMPS from our site for a number of reasons. Perhaps someday the software and vBa customers will be more actively supported.

Best of Luck with vBadvanced in the future! We appreciate the opportunity to, as least, try the vBa installation to see if we might get it to work as advertised. Seems easy enough, but the installation caused our active board to "freeze"..... and we were not successful in getting the support to insure the installation worked.

Take care.

I guess I'm confused,,,,but there is no modification to the includes/functions.php file in the install instuctions for vbadvanced 2.0
MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE LATEST VERSION

http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.php?

after you get the forum path in the cmps_index.php file configured which is pretty simple, this hack installs itself. I think as a noob I must have installed this hack 5 or 6 times and it doesn't get much easier

Gunshot, Brian is actually working on making it even easier. ;) That one remaining file edit to global.php has been bugging him.

... and thanks for pointing out the thing about /functions.php -- I have no idea what unixdotcom was trying to install.

I've had this installed on my board for a while and today the portal just hasn't been working. It doesn't load up and just gives me a white screen :S
Board can be found at: www.between-worlds.net

The site comes up for me using IE but it displays an error message. Check your chdir command in the cmps_index.php file.

The chdir command is correct. I uploaded an info.php file to double check and its correct. I've not modified anything for a couple of months now, it just randomly stopped working.

Usually, when it's something like this, a server configuration or something else on your host side has changed. I'd talk to them and see if they've changed anything on your account or configuration.

Nothing has been changed with the server.

I'm now getting this message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/between/public_html/modules/navigation.php on line 115

Line 115 looks like this:

eval('$home["$mods[modid]"]['content'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_navigation') . '";');

I can't figure out what the problem is :S
