All the install/upgrade instructions are within the installer, ie, they upload the files start the installer as instructed in the first post of this thread and then the first step tells them exactly howto edit vbiconfig.php (and which templates need editing). This file only needs to be edited for vBindex to work and not the installer.

The problem only started after I installed this hack. Therefore, IMO, it is related to this.

I beg to differ. This addon doesn't modify any vB files and certainly has nothing to do with any of the files used to post.

Ok, I ahve managed to get the forum working thanks to your help!

However, I am unable to get it to display some images. Please could somene let me know what these files are, and where I should locate them. The style folder is at the following path

/Fourm/Images/Shady/

would appreciate some help on this:)

Admin Control Panel -> Style Manager -> All Options (for each different style) -> Image Paths

Just curious because it doesn't mention anything about the xml files and I don't have an eventcache.php...

Also wouldn't it be better and less confusing to upload the upgrade/install files to the install directory instead of mucking up the admin directory?

<edit>
Okay just went through your installation and all I got was a bunch of errors and it kept saying borked.... And this is considered the best portal front-end for vBulletin? Would hate to try anything else if the best one doesn't even work.

You probably have an out dated zip Wayne. I've just check the latest attachment and eventcache.php is definatly there and the text file has been updated to include the XML files. I know the documentation needs some work and I do plan to do it once vB3 and vBindex 3 become final and I know I'm not going to be changing it every few days.

I'll take on board your suggestion of using the install directory, it would be more sensible thinking about it. Thanks for the feedback :)

Re your edit: You definatly have a rather old copy of the zip file, the new one shouldn't give any errors.

I may be being completely useless here, but the header image path is

images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif

I have replaced this image with the one I want to show (the one on the main forum), using the same file name. The main forum picks up this image with no problems. However, it will not show it on the vbindex.php. The main forum also has the missing cascade images, which will not show on the vbindex.php.

the shady style has a heading image called hereyah_logo_clear.gif. I have replaced this with the image I want to show, and before I install vbindex this was the file shown. Do you think this could be the cause?

sorry for being a muppet, please be patient with me:)

If the images aint showing properly on the vbindex.php just edit the templates for it :)
