Yes, I uploaded it from Download / Upload Module and it shows in the AdminCP. I also tried moving it to both left and right columns to see if it would show there, but it didn't.
Here is a screenshot:

Well, I see all the code in place; except for the HTML from the template from the module. I'm afriad I don't know enough about vBadvanced to tell you why it isn't appearing if it is enabled; except to make sure the template is there.

I've found where I've gone wrong.
When installing the module, I didn't check the Update All Pages box. I've reinstalled the module checking that box and it's all fine now, and the module is the best one I've seen as of yet. Really.

Thanks

Cool, be sure to click INSTALL. ;)

I just did and I also nominated it for the Mod of the month. :)

lol, same was the case with me it seems. Thanks.

I'd like to know this too. I've modified my module to run on my site but I'd like to limit the characters outputted by this bit. Anyone help?

Are there any plans to update this code or to provide modification options? I have two questions regarding it.

a. how do you remove or modify the fade options? I'd like to reduce how faded the topics become.

b. how do you limit the number of stories scrolled? I changed the number that is displayed by modifying the Spymax number - however it still scrolls 10 or so stories first, making the loading time quite slow.

c. the ability to minimize it using the #top feature that many other modules use.

a. You can change the fade options in the vBIspy module (va_spy.js)

/* Effect delay of fade-in */
var fadetime = .25;

b. In the vBIspy thread you'll find several references on changing the block size; but not only do you have to change the spymax number, you also need to add or remove rows from the table to reflect that number.

c. A minimize could be added easily, yes.

Excellent mod :) needed to change template slightly for complete intergration with style,(30 second job) but now it is perfect. Clicked install, thanks MPDev

I have installed mod and it works perfectly, however, I have my whole site wrapped in vBa which now becomes a problem.
I have 2 pages within vBa, the first shows my front page(index) with most of the modules including vbispy module, this page works fine.
The second page wraps all the forum pages inluding a links directory which works fine with the vbispy module installed, however i do not want vbispy on every page in my site just the front page.
So, I disable vbispy on second page (turn off module) which works, however I get the dreaded yellow triangle showing javascript error!! I know the error is the vBispy script in the header of vba portal calling for the object.

Any ideas on a fix, site works in firefox and shows no error ie gives me the yellow triangle but the site works, I have for the moment uninstalled the vBa side of vbispy as i will not have javascript erros in my site, call it my OCD :)

Any suggestions welcomed, but i do want to use vbispy within vBa.

oh and please do not say go to vBa site as i have spent enough wasted time waiting for replies there!

I don't know enough about vBa to tell you what to do; but can you put a condition tag around the include for the va_*.js files in the vbadvanced header so that those are only included on a specific page (like 'index')?

I did not think about that :ermm: I will give that a try and get back to you, thanks.

Correction below.

For the new release, the template adv_portal_vbispy should be replaced with:

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I made the file edit and added the template changes. Also I replaced the template with the post above, still nothing. My vbispy self contained page loads fine.

ditto.

Make sure your vburl variable in va_spy.js is filled in properly:

For example:

var vburl = '/theforum/';

not:

var vburl = 'theforum';

Yeah... goofed this last time, but changed it and no difference.

same problem as Gman

Still points to forum/...instead of forums/...

In your portal header, under:

add:

Otherwise everything else looks fine.

Not sure what you mean 'still points for forum/'?

Still confused... not working and I LOVE THIS, but its broke... :( :(

*waits for MPDev to work some more magic* ;)

I'll check first thing in the morning.

for some reason the module is active, but it doesnt display threads or posts.

check it out here:

ive made sure i added all the html properly, the vaispy.php works

http://www.halo-havoc.com/vb/vaispy.php

Im lost, i went over everything i would have thought it would be... any ideas?

G_Man, change your spymax variable to 10.

Arrow, you need to change your template as instructed in this post and change your spymax variable to 10.

I should be able to change the upload to new code today.

Okay, I've updated the module. Basically, if you already have it installed; you need to modify your adv_portal_vbispy templates according this this thread.

Then you need to edit your adv_portal template and change this:

to this:

Score. that did it. Cheers.

G_Man, if you don't like that statusicon in either of your spy apps, you can remove this from the clip line:

from your va_spy.js file - it will remove it from both vaispy.php and the module; but you have larger post icons and may or may not want them displayed.

I think I'll do that. I can see how it would look good on some, but you are right. Mine are pretty obnoxiously huge! LOL I think they look good on the actual forum, though. :)

Thanks again for all the work on this Mod. One of those Mods that really shine.

No worky for me since the upgrades, I'll have to disable it. My forums are at the root level, my vbadvanced is in a forum under root. That must screw something up. No script errors either, just a blank module page.

In addition, I got "invalid module" when I tried to upload the module to vbadvanced, and if your forums are in /forum/, you'll have to edit a coupla href's in the vbispy template to reference where your vaispy.php file is

Did you set your forum variable in va_spy.js as per the instructions?

If you did, you wouldn't need to edit anything.

You still have to replace in the adv_portal_vbispy :

by

with "/forums/" your forum root folder

Yes, I tried "" and "/", and the full URL with http:// (just for giggles) because my forums are in the root directory of my site, none worked. It was working before the last release, now it isn't. No biggie, I just disabled it.

How do u add the module?

Ok nvm I figured it out. The instruction were not very helpful.
But I have a problem now. My site look screwed up now. http://www.rzgamers.com

fresh install of this,

vbIspy.php is working

can't install the module through "upload / download vba module"

double checked the upload settings, but getting this error, "invalid module"

same here no matter what i do, i import most moduales just fine

"The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file."

I get this error.When I try to upload the module :(
what will we do?

I will try to put manuel.......

I get that too :S

You guys need to chmod 777 your modules directory, that will resolve this problem.
