Any answer in the hack working with vbportal?

Tested on vb 2.2.1 with vbportals 3.

After buying vBulletin last december, I seriously got suprised that this wasn't 'default' in vB (especially because we are up at version 2.2.2 by now).

As a guest, I was wondering why some buttons appeared on the menu, since some have been set to 'disabled' for guests through the admin control panel.

As a registerd user, I was wondering why buttons like login or register were showing up on the menu, when I was logged in.

As a admin/supermod, I was wondering why I kind of missed a link to the admin/mod section.

I really hope freddie does implement this all (or partially *g*) into version 3. I would really appriciate this (and I think more members will do).

>>brainstorm>> Maybe it is nice to have this as an option in the admin control panel > Forum options.

Show link on frontpage to the admin [x] and/or moderator [ ] back-end ?

Show link on menu to 'register' [ ] and/or 'login' [x]

or something near that.

I don't get the Register/CP buttons on vbPortal's home page, either. Did you have any luck resolving this? I put the code into vpbincludes.php as suggested.
Thanks

The hack works for vBPortal 3 on the Forum home page, but not for the vBPortal Main Home page (following the vBPortal instructions above). Which is a big hassle. I'll see if there's a way around it.

There is a small bug in the installation instructions:

In phpinclude part, the code:
-- cut --
//Make control panel appear if user is logged in, otherwise offer them the chance of registration
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']<"1") {
//they're a guest
$register_or_controlpanel = "<a href=\"register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=signup\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/top_register.gif\" alt=\"Registration is free!\" border=\"0\"></a>";
} else {
//they're registered
$register_or_controlpanel = "<a href=\"usercp.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/top_profile.gif\" alt=\"Here you can view your subscribed threads, work with private messages and edit your profile and preferences\" border=\"0\"></a>";
}
-- cut --
does not parse session variable so I suggest taking it outside like that:

-- cut --
//Make control panel appear if user is logged in, otherwise offer them the chance of registration
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']<1)
{
//they're a guest
$register_or_controlpanel = '<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="{imagesfolder}/top_register.gif" alt="Registration is free!" border="0"></a>';
}
else {
//they're registered
$register_or_controlpanel = '<a href="usercp.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'"><img src="{imagesfolder}/top_profile.gif" alt="Here you can view your subscribed threads, work with private messages and edit your profile and preferences" border="0"></a>';
}
-- cut --

BTW nice idea and good hack... :)

Thanks for that. I'll update the hack.

thanx! was easy enough..

I followed the direction on the txt file for VB2.2.5 but didn't work. I also have vbportal version 3.0 installed. What other changes would I need to make? Thank you.

The problem is that nothing shows the place where I put $register_or_controlpanel variable.

Well, I'm just about to upgrade from v2.2.1 to v2.2.6 so I'll find out if there are any differences...!
