Davey - That's a function that is only in vB3.0.0+. I'm not sure if there are any other issues with RC2 or not, so your best bet may be to upgrade.

Halarkin - You're running vBa Homepage, not the CMPS.

MnBthunDER - Just add a template and then add that template as a new module. Or, I believe there is a module for this posted at vbadvanced.com

Megadeuce - No. Once you upgrade though you will need to upload the vbacmps_install.php file to your admincp directory and select the option to re-install the templates. And of course you will need to re-apply the file modifications to the new version as well.

ambrosious - It loads pretty quick on your site as a guest. If you have the 'Quick Moderation' module enabled then that could create a slow down on larger sites for groups that have permission to view that module.

Great. Found what I want and it's done :) thanks Tigga

Got as far as step one and stopped as changing all the image paths as requested caused broken links on all forum pages using vb3.0.1. The admin_cp paths now are relative, and that's what the vb program is asking for. (ie: from "/images/buttons" to "http://www.xxx.xom/forums/images/buttons"

Q. Is this just a temporary thing until all the modifications for install are made?

If so I should wait until there's less traffic on site to make the modification. If not what'd I do wrong? Sorry if this has been asked ... searched the thread and didn't see a post relating to it.

Thanks! Two questions, as I am ready to fire this up.
One: The reputation images didn't make the transfer. I have the path right, but I get text, and with those with REAL high it skews the entire threads.
Two: I created navbar2, where do I put the $navbar2 request? I tried in the template adv_portal but it didn't show up.

Ok, three questions. If I rename this file (cmps_index) to index, what happens to my current forum index? Or would it be better to leave the old one intact and call this one AAforumhome?

Thanks!

Since I'm using php 5.01 on FreeBSD I'm getting this error:

Any clue how to fix that? Thanks a lot!

Dunno why it would cause broken images on the forums. Setting those paths
<soapbox>Which should be that way out of the box since a lot of people are extending vBulleting outside of the forums folder</soapbox> is important, as they are initially set relative to the forums directory. But CMPS is outside the forums directory. Without making them more absolute, they wouldn't work for CMPS.

Make sense?

Stormblast,

I understand the reasoning, I prefer to have the full path. But when I add it vBulletin assumes it's a relative path anyway, so, at least trhough that first step changing:

"images/misc" to "http://www.drsol.info/forums/images/misc"

Laves the forum page looking for:

"http://www.drsol.info/forums/http://www.drsol.info/forums/images/misc/navbits_start.gif"

for example. The other fields seem to be OK. But the Miscellaneous images is doing this no matter how many times it gets cut, or pasted, or hand type, etc. Weird.

Dang I'll have to get my members access updated. That might take a while. :(

Thanks dude! That's it!
