i have a problem in the admincp with images not being shown for users avatars, profile pictures and such.

I am running a standard vb rc4 board/style, there are no other hacks on the site at all, its a fresh install. Everything was fine before i installed the portal. Can anyone suggest how to fix this, see attached pic. Thanks.

update the image path for clear.gif to a realtive path
upload clear.gif to your root ie mysite.com

Hi guys, I have a problem I was wondering if you could help me with. I've tried to do it myself, but to no avail. Basically I want the news to show on my homepage inside an iframe - the way I want my design to work I can't really afford the space that it requires as is. In vB2 I used PluhNews to pull the news to a seperate page called news.php, included it in the iframe and removed the MyvBindex news template.

The way I thought about doing it is in the same way that you can create vBAdvanced powered pages, by using for example index.php?page=news - and this news page contains the newsbits. I tried hacking this in myself and failed, could you possible point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance - heh. :)

Should my vB be installed at my main page (index of public_html) in order for the portal to show up at my domain alone or should I install the forum in a sub directory in order for the portal to be my sites homepage?

thanks for the responce but hhhmm where do i edit the path for the clear.gif file? I cant seem to locate it :(

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Not sure where



either it doesnt matter.

:) found it.....

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings

THANKS for the push in the right direction :)

Anyone got this running on VB3 Gold?

Did you say Gold? :D

I will have it running on Gold in about 1/2 hour...
I hope! ... :)


Chas.

Havent downloaded it yet, but neither me or tigga see a reason for it not to work

What about "excluding" certain private forums from the front page news? Has that issue been resolved yet?

It works fine, I just tried it on 2 boards. One was a clean install and the other was just upgraded from RC-4 to Gold. On the upgrade I had to re-upload the advindex_install.php file and run it again, I just chose the option to 'load templates' or something, it's the option that is mentioned when you are upgrading Vbulletin. Then I made the necesary edits to the files in the 'includes' folder.
Woking fine now.

im having a slight problem on mine...clean install...vb3 gold...

http://www.hel-razor.com/index.php

i followed the directions in the readme.html...i run this on RC2 test site without issues...

images not showing up is not an issue...i know how to fix that...its the way the tables are. scroll down a ways and you will see what im saying.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks :)

While doing a clean install of the GOLD version i came across afew changes that need to be amended in the install instructions.

in step 3
Find:
changed to:
Below that Add:
All the rest seems fine and i installed it with no problem on another new install.

Have a look
www.thepremierleague.co.uk & .net

Ty snowy :)

Everything works apart from the Navbar.. :)
The forum title isn't shown next to the 'opening' folder.

aahh yes you are right, didnt notice that. I will go have a look at it.

my front page shows a blank page with vb3 gold, any idea ?

reinstall the templates ;)

I noticed that as well, I was going nuts trying to figure out why the 'VI' editor couldn't find that string so I decided to scroll down to find it manually. Of course it's almost at the end of the file.... :rolleyes: ...Lol!
Otherwise all went well.

Chas.

Wont do the templates at all for me, just gettng a mysql error showing the templates that should be entered then at the end saying

mysql error: Duplicate entry 'index--1' for key 2

mysql error number: 1062

I have a serious problem, namely that It seems to be exporting the oldest articles to the front page rather than the latest!

Theres nothing i hate more than doing this bloody CHdir part :)

If the forum is www.wteva.com/forums/index.php

and in the FTP its

SomeIPnumber / httpdocs / forums


in the file i just put /forums/

but i get this error

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/httpd/vhosts/declutterdivas.com/httpdocs/adv_index.php on line 15

Warning: Unable to access ./global.php in /home/httpd/vhosts/declutterdivas.com/httpdocs/adv_index.php on line 77

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/declutterdivas.com/httpdocs/adv_index.php on line 77


can someone pleaseeee tell me the right CHdir to put, its doing my head in :)

The FTP is different to the path in most cases.

i just did a clean install and everything SEEMS to be working fine except for that it's not even showing news, polls, or latest forum threads.... any idea what I can do?

Run article indexer from the installer...

Has any1 upgraded to VB3 gold with vbadvanced aboard??

i've been waiting for the author to say something about it myself... i would have to assume that RC4 & the final are so alike that perhaps it does work....or we'd hear more about it?

they're not... it's totally different

Code wise RC4 and GOLD are the same, except GOLD has some bug fixes

umm... no that won't work.

So in the end we can't upgrade to VB gold?

I upgraded by vB 3 RC 4 to gold with absolutely no problems at all. Check it out at http://www.daniweb.com

Which steps (in which order) did u follow to not overwrite vbadvanced?

Thanks!

Here's what I did;

1) Upgrade to Vb-3 Gold (upload all files and run upgrade script, as per instructions).

2) Depending on which templates that you revert when upgrading to Gold (you have a choice) you may have to make all the edit changes as per the Vbandvanced instuctions (calendar templates, some files in the 'includes folder etc). Check those now and edit as needed.

3) Important! Re-upload the 'advindex_install.php' to the admincp folder and run that script again (http://yoursite.com/forum/admincp/advindex_install.php) but after you give the admin login CHOOSE THE THIRD OPTION , it;s something like;
Click here to install ONLY the templates (useful after upgrading vBulletin) -->
This will make the necesary updates to the new VB-3 files and you shouldn't lose any of your VBadvanced hacks, because those are left untouched, they don't get overwritten by VB-3 files with a couple of exceptions like the Navbar template etc.

Pretty much just following the original instructions except not uploading the index.php file and choosing the third option when runniing that script.

Chas.

P.s. To answer Powerpig's question, if you run the script to re-install the tempaltes you will probably have to go back into the Vbadvanced options section of the admincp and enter your news forum ID number etc to get that to show up again on the index page. This is all in the instructions for a 'new' install, you can download the zip again if you don't have those instructions.

chas above is correct... Follow that and you won't go wrong..

However, when you are doing the file edits you will notice one change from RC4 to GOLD:

Instead of looking for:

In your includes/adminfunctions_template.php file, you'll want to search for this instead:

That's it, you should be good to go!

This hack works 100% fine with the one listed change by snowy and Alien above.

:) im about as offical as Tigga on the subject for vBa

You can take that to the bank! :D

Oops, you're right, I forgot to add that part. I was able to find it without that but it was a pain. Thanks for pointing that out.

Chas.

so is vbadvanced ready for vb 3 gold?
