vb.org Archive - vBindex v3.0.0 RC5

Yes, you can uninstall it by just calling the install page again. It detects that you have already done one, and asks if you want to reinstall/remove it.

I tried that as well, did a reinstall, removed/reuploaded the files, and tried again, but I get the same result. Somewhere or another it's not setting up a lot of the URLs correctly.

Have installed vBindex with no errors other than the looping one. As you can see if you look at it, some of the image paths, rather than displaying as, for example, "http://www.luznet.com/images/icons/icon1.gif" are instead displaying as "http://www.luznet.com/index.php/images/icons/icon1.gif". Many of the links on the nav bars also have this problem, trying to log out for example, sends you to "http://www.luznet.com/index.php/login.php?do=logout" instead of "http://www.luznet.com/login.php?do=logout". The polls do the same thing. Oddly enough, a few things like Shoutbox do not have this problem.

Anyway, it's not just an image problem, as it also effects the links. I assume there must be a borked setting somewhere. I see a lot of references to having '/' as your cookie path, which I do indeed have correctly set. What else am I missing here? Hate to miss out on what appears to be an excellent hack due to just one little bug somewhere!

Maybe it's not polite to plug another product here but I've installed vBadvanced a couple times now without major issue. Unless you have a reason for not using it, maybe you should check it out.

Appreciate the info, Dennis. I tried it out and actually ran into the same problem with the links that I had with vBindex, which led me to believe the problem lie in the main board settings, or the way they worked with the add-ons. Fortunately, the support for vBadvanced is much more comprehensive and responsive than that for vBindex, and although I didn't find a specific solution in their dedicated forums, I found some clues that eventually led me to the answer.

For posterity, I post what I found here in the hopes that it can help someone in the future. To summarize, instead of proper links in the nav bars of the portal pages (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/login.php), I was instead getting links that had the index page also incorrectly referenced (http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/login.php). Obviously, this made many things not work correctly. The setting I had incorrect was AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details - > Forum URL. I had http://www.yoursite.com/login.php listed, when the correct setting instead was http://www.yoursite.com (no trailing '/'). You may or may not also need to change the 'Homepage URL' setting as well. I think that this issue came up in large part because I chose to install my board in the root of my hosting account, rather than making a sub-directory for it. I would recommend that others also put the forums in a sub-folder, just to avoid problems like this.

Haven't decided between vBindex or vBa at this time, still deciding which I prefer. Leaning towards the feature set in vBindex, but am a bit gunshy due to the lack of responsiveness here toward install issues.

I ran the uninstaller and my templates are still there. Why didn't it work?

Here's a little HelpI rembered from when I installed a while ago.

Cookie Issue: There is a work around but I forget where I found it long ago. If ya search for "Cookie Work around" I believe you'll find it.

Code:

define('USE_COOKIE_WORKAROUND', 1);

is what you'll put in ur vbiconfig.php file.

As far as the Links and the icons this also should be able to be fixed in the vbiconfig.php. I'm runninmg on a linux server and My path is as follows;

Code:

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/ctc/public_html/');

This puts ya to the root where my vBulletin Forum files and folders are. I had to play around with this for a bit if I remember correctly, but finally got it to work.

Good Luck ....Hope this helps...

Ok.... I have successfully insatlled everything (it seems), but now I want to edit my vbindex page so I can show shout boxes, "news", calendar, etc, etc, etc.... I can't find where to do it from. Can anyone help please... I have gone into the admin control panel, to Style Manager, can't find it... I have gone to "edit templates"... can't find it.... etc... Could I be overlooking something. Am I even looking in the right place??

In fact, I may not even have a vbindex page..... when I go into the "mydomain.com/forums/" it brings up a page with the list of categories, and forums i created, but I am not even sure that's the "vbindex" page. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi -
thickie Newbie here!
I've installed vBindex exactly as per instructions... no problems
gone into the cp... set a few options... but nothing is showing up on any of my pages....
I don't need to set up any modules do I (for simple things like shoutboxes etc)??

I presumed everything (apart from the custom boxes) was done from within the vBindex cp... is this correct???

thanks in advance

:nervous: :nervous:

Hi -
Newbie here...
I've been messing with vBindex for a few hours (installed it fine) -- but I just can't seem to get any of the modules to show up on my web pages??

Trouble is I'm working blind - I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do... are there any basic how to guides on this forum... I've done searches and looked at dozens of pages -- but as yet haven't found the basic instructions....

please... can someone point me in the right direction

thanks...
