Well i think there is an uninstaller for vB2, when you upgrade to vB3, the vBadvanced installer will remove mYvBindex and upgrade i to vBadvanced.

Ok great, thank you.

Hey i'd like to know if it's possible to display more days on teh scheduled events on the mini calendar.

Basically to show the next 2 weeks events underneath it...

thanks

ETA: nevermind...just got confused! :D

I'm using vb2.3.5 and I'm coming from the vbhome lite hack, removing it to add myvbindex hack.

Reasons are multiple:

- I used dynamic html menus which did not behave correctly on any browser. Now with myvbindex, they work!
- microstats page was displaying weird values with vbhl. Now with mybvindex, they work!
- Layout is easier to implement, even more clear than on vbhl and 2 custom "boxes" for online ads... thanks myvbindex!
- The admin funcions on myvbindex news are lovely! thanks myvbindex!
- There are miniaddons written for myvbindex...

HOWEVER I STILL DON'T UNDESTAND WHY CAN'T WE HAVE LATEST x NEWS displayed on main page (much like latest x threads, but with news) like vbhl does!!!

WHYWHYWHY!!!! ^:)

Any1 willing to minihack this? ;););)

I had the same change. And mine works.

Question, did you modify the template in Options/myvbindex? If so, you can't put more than one forum on the frontpage (without further mods).

You mean the feature exists? And how do you control how many past news to display?

What I meant is, IN ADDITION to the x more recent news being written to the homepage, there's a small box where the last x HEADLINES of the news are being written too...

It's all in the Admin Control Panel, Areku. You can configure
- news forum id (just 1!)
- news Post maximum (shown in the middle)
- latest threads maximum
- latest threads maximum characters

That'll do it. Question is, this answer is so simple that I'm not sure if I understand your problem...

No you don't...

vbhlite had:

Latest x threads summarized in headlines
Latest x news, complete, with x max chars displayed

AND

Latest x more news AS HEADLINES, below the latest x "complete" news...

So you can display the latest 10 news as complete, plus 10 more headlines of even older news...

If you install a VB3 and install Tigga's VBADVANCED, you'll notice that feature exists already, but it's NOT present in myVbIndex...
