lol ok.

i think its time for bed.

Teck, thanks again for your help.

Cant wait for the next version.

take care, nite.

I d like to have a password to access the .zip

I PM you my new site url.. thanks

Installed it. Works without problems (but I need to re-edit the templates to get my old layout back).

Once I have done that, I'll have to figure out how to:
- get $thread[time] and $thread[date] to contain the time/date of the LAST post of the thread, instead of the first.
- have the poll look for polls in 1 specific forum made by ANY user. (I'm just used to the vbPortal style of doing polls I reckon)

I would appreciate any help with those 2 things, since I'm not MySQL guru myself :(

TECK, Bouncer,

WOW so much has happened! I redownloaded the file and BANG I get polls!!!!

Ok, my users love the new site but they all (including myself) miss the "Search for new posts since last visit" that was present in the vBulletin index, the Welcome Panel and vbIndex as well. Can anyone help me implement this, please?

Thanks!

It would be very nice to have that kind of feature. Hopefully that Nakkid will add this :)

silly question here:

I can change the look of the polls that have been voted on in the

home_pollresults template

But where is the template that changes the look for when you have not voted on the question.

That's quite easy:

Add the following anywhere where you want the "Search for new posts since last visit" link:

In the following 3 templates: home_polloption, home_polloptions, home_polloption_multiple

YOU DA MAN! (or woman depending on gender :) )

I agree with nokia8860. Thanks A LOT, LeeCHeSSS, I had goten SEVERAL PM's from my users requesting that.... I really appreciate your help on this.

i have to make you happy right? :)
first you need to change also the poster... i think since you want to show the last post time, right?
anyway, do this... in vbHL index.php find:
replace it with:
then, in your home_threadbits template, change:
to:

That'd be MAN! :)

Anyway, thanks TECK! It seems I was pretty darn close to figuring it out myself, but this saved me some headaches ;)

kingsfan, is not related to actual code but to templates, you probably changed there something. check your html code.

i think i will release tomorrow (or day after) vbHome (lite) 3.3.
it will add the iconews, pictogram icons like phpnuke, associated with every article.
that will be done without increasing the number of queries, ofcourse.
also, it will have an upgrade.01.php file so you dont have uninstall everything. :)

cya all for now... back to coding.

Hi. Quick little thing.
Just installed it onto a test bit on my server and it all works. However it does not read whats in the Header of the members template.
(I have a banner as my logo which is in the header of the style)
So I get a blank bit at the top with just the forum logo.

For example
portal page
http://www.scifichat.net/test/index.php

forum
http://www.scifichat.net/vbforums/

The purple banner at the top of the screen.
any idfeas?

is normal, you didnt follow all the steps in the readme file.
if you do follow them ALL, it will work.

I tryed to dl vblight but the resulting zip is password protected when I use rar.

WTF?

obiwan8472, please change back to visible the copyright on your Print Article page. you are infringing the Jelsoft regulations by not displaying the "Powered by" note at the bottom.
thank you.

YES!!!!!

www.grendelslair.com/forums

The "WTF" wasn't aimed at anyone. And for your information I usually just dl the hack and figure the rest out myself so excuse me if I wasn't expecting a passworded zip.

You could have just said read the first page and that woudl have been that.

:pirate:

thanks

i apologise. i didnt get the exact sense. i thought it was directed to me. i will pm you the password rightaway.

Hi again.
I have redone the hack following every step clearly. but still no header.

http://www.scifichat.net/test/index.php

Any ideas?
Sorry for being a pain.

the image url to that picture points to:
so that's why you get an error. :)

URL for Password

http://www.alternativenation.net/forums/

i need the location where you intend to use vbHome (lite). thank you.

i presume is the home url?

Ahh I'm thinking of using it at http://www.alternativenation.net/index.php

The home page uses a lot of it's own templates. If you want it to look exactly like your forums header you need to modify the header templates with the "home_" in front of them. Hope this helps...

Ghostsuit, i pm you the password. thanks for installing my script.

for the iconews, i'm going to need one or two beta testers before i release it. please post here in the thread if you are interested.

one question.. in 3.2, should i be seeing the news poster's avatars? if so, what's the code for showing the poster's avatar? i tried $article[avatar] but no workie. thanks.

no. it will not. if you wait another day, you will get the iconews. for each article you will have an icon associated, the same like phpnuke.

is alot better then the avatars... i think. :)

I keep getting the following error and don't understand based on the instructions how to fix it:

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/robbyh/public_html/vb/index.php on line 10
