I was afraid you might say that. I've played around with those templates but I've been unable to fix the problem...

Some skins comes with a "pluggin" which runs a special PHP code in a certain hook in vb pages. Please check if this is the case with your skin. If it is, that hook could have been added to webtemplate script as well so that WT will also run it.

Update it please, it would be great with new features and without those informations on every page for administrators.

Hack is already up-to-date with all vb versions from vb2.x to vb4.x, including latest vb 4.x version.

You can turn off admin info under pages.

Logician I'm using your mod and it's lovely thanks but I've noticed that when I navigate on pages that are using this mod it removes the border around my style for some reason.

If you wnt the URL addy let me know and I'll pm it.

Installed and been using for years, however a slight problem. Nothing to do with the hack but to do with the server.

I have done all the steps right upto

STEP 3- Close your browser, reopen it, relogin to your admin cp and you should to see "Logician's WebTemplates" in the left menu, expand it and click "Export/Import", then "Upload Webtemplate .XML File", point the file named "webtemplate_export.xml".
(There are 2 XML files, please make sure you import the file named "webtemplate_export.xml"!)
(This step is to upload default webtemplates and webqueries to your webtemplate system)

Which is when I run into this error.

open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\Windows\Temp\phpD804.tmp)

The problem is the server uses Plesk and there is a huge issue with this at the moment, with no known fix.

I have tried a fresh install of vB3.8.x and installes no issues (an older version) and then upgraded to vB4.x.x again no issues (on another server)

I then backed up the tables, and then dropped them, then restored them. When clicking the webtemplates link in admin, I get a database error. If I uninstall the mod and then reinstall it on the old server, then it goes through and all works. (no open_basedir restriction)

However, using the backup from the old and restoring to the new database, causes the exact same error. (When clicking the webtemplates link in admin, I get a database error. )

I can uninstall the product, and then reinstall, but then I am back to square one, browsing on my PC and then trying to install webtemplate_export.xml, I get the error

file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

Is there anything you can suggest?

Thanks

As you said open_dir restriction is a server related issue and should be fixed on server level.

But if I can understand what you are trying to achieve, maybe I can suggest an alternative to bypass your problem? Yet I'm not very sure what exactly you are trying to do. Is it fresh install of the hack for vb4 that you are trying to do or do you want to upgrade an 3.x installation to 4.x?

Hi

It's an upgrade from vB3 to vB4

Assuming you have another server to test things, have you tried this: Install your 3.x forum/webtemplates to your other server. Upgrade first vb then webtemplates to 4.x there. And then move webtemplates databases from that server to your existing server.

Please note that the work should be done in the exact order I mentioned above.

Also note that you need to make sure 4.x webtemplates are 100% working in the other server before moving its db tables to your current server.

Let me know if you have any problems in the process.

Hi

Just to let you know I think I have sort of solved this. (some CSS issues)

I backed up a copy of the old database on the old server

I then upgraded to vB4 and then upgraded the mod

I then dropped the tables, and restored them on the old server, worked.

I then dropped the tables on the new server, and restored the back up from today

It worked.

Thanks for a great mod. :D
