what it should look like

Thanks for a great hack. I have a couple of issues though. I've read through some of these page, but not all 46 so I apologize if this has already been asked.

Here's my page:

http://www.powwows.com/myvbindex.php

Nothing is being displayed from the forum I specified as News. I didn't create a new forum, I'm using an existing forum.

Second, how can I get it to pull my regular header and footers?

Here is my main forum page:

http://www.powwows.com/gathering

Thanks!

pgowder, the way this hack was written, it will only show threads started after the hack was installed.

You can fix that by performing a query, but it is a bit of a pain to find the postids that you need to update.

Yep, I found that. And I've got it showing one thread. But how do I get it to render vbcode in a signature?

Take a look at:

http://www.powwows.com/myvbindex.php

And I'm still having problems with headers and footers.

On the latest thread box, how can you restrict that to not show posts in private forums?

Also, it now appears that log out doesn't work. It takes me back to the previous page, but doesn't clear me out?

It operates off of user permissions. Log out, and you shouldn't see any threads that you aren't supposed to see.

I changed it so that it uses the vbulletin headers and footers and not the ones that came with the hack.

Regarding sig lines, I cheated and didn't put those in cause they didn't work.

That's great, now if I could just get logged out!

I just registered at your site, went to the myvbindex.php and logged out with no problems.

Hmm, just tried it again, and I still gon't get logged out.

i have every thing working great now. ^_^ but does it work with 2.3.0? i just did an upgrade on my home server
and the post count stoped :\

Thanks for helping with some of the questions amykhar. :)

pgowder - vBcode was something I accidentally overlooked for signatures. You can find the fix for that posted here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...431#post344431
As for the header and footer, if you want to use the same as your forum just use the variables $header and $footer in your index template.
If you're still having problems logging in/out, be sure your cookie domain is set to .yoursite.com and try clearing your cookies.

Faranth - What exactly do you mean the post count? I haven't upgraded to 2.3.0 yet, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

well, i have 3 posts on my new 2.3.0 forums, and the posts show up. but not post count, as if you went to members and did top ten posts, it only shows as 0 posts instead of 3

and this

Try uploading an unhacked version of member.php and newreply.php and see if it works then. If not then you should ask at vb.com since it would have to be a problem somewhere in vb. If uploading those 2 files does fix the problem, be sure that you edited those 2 files properly when you were installing myvbindex, and then try it. If it still doesn't work let me know.

Thanks guys, that did the trick.

Appreciate all of the fast help!

I have a little problem with the weathter install file "The page cannot be displayed", it´s to big for my server, i think?

I really don't see why some people are having a problem with the weather part... Most people haven't had any trouble at all, but you're the 3rd person that gets an error like that. :ermm:
Double check that the weather_install.php file was uploaded to your server and that you were going to the correct url. If it still doesn't work, check the link below and there is a zip file attached with that post with the queries you can run via phpMyAdmin and a small install file that will add the templates for you.

I added a new usergroup and one of my members told me they are able to view our private mod's section thread titles, they try to click on them and are not allowed access which is good, but we don't want them to be able to view the threads...

What can I do to stop this?

ASweetDeal

In your admin cp, click on "Forum Permissions" under "User Groups". Edit the usergroup for that forum and be sure it's set to use custom settings and all the options are set to no.

I am using myvbindex 3.1 and vB 2.3.0. I tried posting a new short poll and it still doesn't show up. I have made sure 3 time that the correct polls forum ID is in the cp and that they are posted in thecorrect forum.

I am getting the following error:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/musclebo/public_html/forums/index.php on line 13

I can't seem to correct it. Could someone please help?

THANKS!

Also, how would I get my Main (default) Home page for my entire website to be the forum main page?

THANKS AGAIN!

umm, all my other problems got fixed but i havent had time to test on my home server yet for the no post problem :\ any way

i wanted to know if i could have the weather images folder in just one place, instead of having to upload it into each of the themes folders

Yuber - Check your PMs. :)

musclebody - You have to set the path to your forums in the myvbindex.php file to /home/musclebo/public_html/forums
As for having that as your main forums page, you would need to rename your forums/index.php file to something else and then upload the myvbindex.php file to your forums directory and rename it to index.php. You would probably want to edit some of the links to point to whatever you renamed your forums/index.php file as well.

Farenth - Edit your index_weather template and look for {imagesfolder}. Replace that with the url to your forums images folder and that will fix it so it will not matter what style you are using.

Now i really need help...
I tryed alot, but i cant get the news to show up...
http://www.cyber-ns.net/~angelus/
that's the index... see no news?
http://www.cyber-ns.net/~angelus/com...php?forumid=17
but look...in my news forum, i have news...o.o help!

Yo... I just upgraded to vB 2.3.0, and it totally fubared my page... check it... www.crystalchronicle.com..... let me know what I can do...

formerEVO² - Were the posts made before or after you installed the script? It will only pull news posts that were made after the script was installed. If they were made after you installed it, double check that your News Forum ID is set to 17.

Iezugod - What exactly did it mess up? I looked at the page but I don't see anything wrong...

yes, they were were posted after i installed the script, and i already double checked.

seems to work, how ever, im having this serrious problem with gettin my main templates to work with the rest of my themes, but other wise

hack works well now, if i could only figure the theme problem :"\

Plur,

I did what you had mentioned and it still shows:

"Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/musclebo/public_html/forums/index.php on line 13

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/musclebo/public_html/forums/index.php:13) in /home/musclebo/public_html/forums/admin/functions.php on line 1573"

Can you please help me fix this?

Thanks!

Plurplanet,

Thanks again for a gr8 hack.. I installed and it ran fine on vb 2.2.9 now i upgraded to vb 2.3.0 now users that er not logged in see the login page, when you log in the index page just shows blank ?? All I did was upgrade.

Check ur pm for url and login details m8.

Hope ya can help, its a fantastic hack :)

PS:
If you add /forum to the end of the url in ya pm you will see the board still functions fine.

formerEVO? - I can't really think of a reason it wouldn't display if everything was done and installed correctly... You can double check that you have a template called index_newsbits and that it's not blank. If you have phpMyAdmin, you could log in with that and make sure your post table has a row called "isnews" (it should be the last one). If that's there then you should find your news post (should have 8 in the id field) and make sure that it has a 'Y' in the isnews column. Let me know about those things and that should help determine the problem.

musclebody - Judging by that error it doesn't look like there is anything set for your path. Either way though if you are going to put it in your forums directory you can just remove that line and it should work fine.

snout - I just upgraded my test board to 2.3.0 and apparently the vBulletin upgrade script deletes the templates. If you upload the myvb_install.php script and go to this url it will install just the templates for you -

Great hack! Looks amazing with vbskins nexxus skin!

Just had one question, how do i go about adding more pages to show other content other then the news. i want to keep the items on the sides, and add content in the middle.

ive scearched...but dont know where to look, or what direction to go. I basically want to add a server status for a counter-strike server to show on the site and members for the clan.

any ideas?

site: www.gulflight.com - a temp url, sorry must register to veiw the whole site.

I have a similar question to SONOFSAM's.

I have my menu on the left side of the index page and when i click on a menu item i want that page to open up to the right taking away the news section and the third column section. How can we do this?

Perfect thanks again Plurplanet :D gr8 hack and outstanding support :)

SONOFSAM - I have to agree, that does look very nice with the nexxus skin. :) To change it so you can have a different template displayed in the middle rather than the news, check this post. And if you need more than one different page like that, see this post. It should be fairly easy to do, but if you have any problems let me know.

arracing - Something like that could be done (if you look at my site that's actually the way I have it set up), but it does require a bit more work (ex - Your pages will have to be renamed to have .php extensions, the html page will have to be made into a vBulletin template, etc). Have you added any hacks or anything to your myvbindex file? Have you changed the "boxes" that are displayed on the left side? If you have changed any of that let me know what was changed and then I can give you instructions on how you would go about doing that.

snout - Glad everything's working for you. :)

well all I have done is swtiched it so that custom Template 2 is on the left side which is my menu, and the log in stuff is on the right.
I dont think I installed any hacks to it.
here i will show you the link to the page.

THANKS PLUR, I finally figured it out.

I was just wondering, How do I get the LOGIN BOX to appear on the page?

THANKS!
