OK, I'm gonna have to re-install and put the portal index file in the forum folder instead of the ROOT directory to fix it. (no big deal the boards new). Because I can't really see an answers coming for this problem seeing as it's an old vb2 hack. Plus that work around cures the problem anyway completly. I would have liked to have kept the portal index file in the Root directory though really. :disappointed:

The problem is, anybody out there using other more up to date portals like vBadvanced and vBindex RC 5 for vBulletin 3 were the installation tells you to put the index file in the Root directory are going to come across this very same problem also if they ever decide to make there forum boards private to guests (meaning there not going to be able to register unless they manually link to the correct logon page in the forums directory). As this same problem seems to have been carried across to them portals and just about every other one for vBulletin that I've tested (I've tested them all).

So it's not just a vBindex 3.1 problem, but across the board for all the vB Portals.

Thanks anyway! :squareeyed:

Does anybody know how to edit the signature part of this so vBCode will be displayed on your portal. For example I added this in my signature. which on the forum displays a smiley :nervous:

But in my signature, but on the portal in my signature it just says as

Is there anyway to make it so you can add multiple forum ID's in the News section in your Admin CP, so it will grab news from multiple boards and display them on your homepage in the center. All controled from the admin cp options via entering forum ID's.

will this work in vb3.5?

I just tried it on one of my test sites and I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in

right off the bat.
