ahah! I removed the \\install bit and now i works :)

Probably an issue with windows, use the following instead:

Which should do the trick.

Just use a standard extra page and use an <iframe> in the HTML.

For the admin cp link on Gamma/RC1/RC2/RC3/RC4 see this post:

I think your DIR path should point to the 'virtual' path - relative to your web site root, rather than your physical disk location.

My CH_DIR path points to /vb303/

as an example, my 'root' web dire looks like:

vbindex.php
vbiconfig.php
vb303 (DIR - the 'forums' DIR that vb3 rc3 comes in, but renamed as im running a test site)

define('CHDIR_PATH', 'vb303');

other examples would be like ../vb303 ./vb303 /vb303 /my/path/to/vb303 etc etc

Hope that helps!

cheers, i will try that tomorrow ;)

Why does the chatbox looks so strange?
Is it not possible to make it wider, so small posts don't resize it 100 Km?

dunno if it been asked before but is it possiable to put a custom box in the middle above the news but under the welcome box

Quick question, can someone take a look at www.tonyspage.net (this is my test site)

Look at the top under the bulletin logo. I keep getting that weird little error where it keeps saying "script type="text/javascript">"

I cant find where I made a mistake.

you need to add '<' infront of that tag

its right above

<!--
function log_out()

looks like probably in the header template

you could edit the vbindex template, and find the welcome box html and add below it to show what you want

in the vbindex template.. find:

Your code can be placed there, just before the $home[news]

Thanks so much, That was truly a dumb mistake on my part.

Hey, for some reason like 3/4s of my images duplicated the url when I used your script. Please tell me what's wrong with this...

http://www.starcraftdream.com/vbindex.php

thanks, great work btw.

I'd double check the path to icons in the acp

where do you change that path, I don't see it in the styles, closest I see is item status icon folder.

you change the image paths, in the admin control panel... You click on on 'style manager' then in the drop down menu of your style pick 'stylevars'. There you need to change the paths to your image folders, to the full url of their location.

I did it and it didn't do anything :(

You need to make your icons use the format /images/icons for the URL in the Icon Manager or edit the vbindex_newsbit and vbindex_latestthreadbit templates and remove the $vboptions[bburl] from the icon URL.

I did that and that made none of them work... take a look www.starcraftdream.com/vbindex.php

forget that, i got it

Ok, however that did not work for my latest thread for some reason

You still have $vboptions[bburl] in your vbindex_latestthreadbit template I suspect.

Hmm, I think I fixed it, it doesn't make sense though, I just removed everything from the image url= and it works...

Thanks alot NTDLR for all the help and the really nice script!

ok, one last question, where do I go to modify the links on the forum pannel? The one at the top that says User CP, FAQ, ect. They don't work on my site only on the vbindex, everywhere else it works fine.

The navbar template has those item -- you need to have the complete forum path for each of the options.

Ok, I got a couple more problems. If you go to www.starcraftdream.com the nav bar drop downs don't work. Also, the feature that lets the menus collapse doesn't work. Users can't log in on that nav bar and finally if someone receives a private message on that page it won't open.

You need to do the headinclude template change

is that in the readme?

theres a file called headinclude.html, you want to open it in notepad and copy and paste the content into the headinclude template

replace whats in the head include template with this or add it?

ok i got it, thanks, now if anyone knows where I can edit the link that a private message popup sends you to that would be appreciated.

I get to step 8 and get a page not found error??? I dont understand.. its in the folder...

OK.. got it installed.. but error when I view the main page... it says

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/atlantaw/public_html/community1/vbindex.php on line 131


Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/atlantaw/public_html/community1/vbindex.php
Line: 131


Where exactly are these templates or whatever your supposed to edit? Read me doesnt specify a location...

You haven't edited vbiconfig.php correctly as per the first install step's instruction I suspect.

OK.. I have now.. and get a blank page when I go to:

http://www.atlantaweather.net/community1/vbindex.php
Any ideas?

For those that use this with the Links and Files Database, I have made a Customblock for "Hottest Links" ie those links with the highest hit count.

Looks like possibly 1 of two things

• chmod permissions not properly set.
• still some minor misconfiguration in your vbiconfig.php

Are you on a Windows Server? some servers are picky when it comes to file permissions, it dont hurt to use 775 (temporarily), then slowly lower it to 755 or even lower, there might be one file that isnt chmod'd to execute properly.

Make sure the install process finished and that the vbindex_ templates are in the relevent style. You can re-import them either by re-running the installer or though the Style Upload function in the ACP.
