Yes, I have seen that.
But I see that a lot of members here have the vbindex installed, and maybe could help me?

I think you'll find most members use "vBadvanced CMPS" now seeing as that's the most suported portal now over on the vBadvanced site. Take it from me there is "NO" support for this as such anymore since the author left and the Core forums went offline.

But if you want to stick with using it, that's up to you. I'm just trying to let you know you'd be better of using vb cmps now to save you a lot of time ands effort. As it have the features this has and more.

But I suppose it will be hell to remove vbindex to switch to the other portal. Can I run them both?

I cannot find an unistaller in the vbindex package.

I think there is an option to remove the portal from your site when you run the installer

Thanks, I will think about this. I am happy with yhe vbindex, but if i dont crack how to edit the customfield, I will consider uninstalling.

:)

OK this has probably been asked before, but there is 161 pages to this :p, Is it possible to change this mod so it appears on login, or be the first page that they see, then they press forums and go to the original section.

Oh and nice MOD (y)

That is no problem, but it is not the hack you need to change. You have til either rename the portal mainpage to index in your root, or you can point your domain to the www.yourdomain.com/portal.php

My page is like that, but at the moment with only a redirect.

http://www.dinklikk.com/ :)

does this vbindex work on vB3.5 ?

Thanks, I'll try, redirecting first.

Have tried everything, can't figure out where I'm going wrong...

When I try to load this page: http://www.armywivesforums.com/vbindex.php

I get this

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 144

Warning: main(.global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 145

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '.global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 145

Lines 144 &145 are:

chdir(CHDIR_PATH);
require_once('./global'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);


The portion of vbiconfig I edited was exactly this, copy and pasted:

// enter the path to your forums here that you were given during the// install processdefine('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/awforums/public_html/forums');


I've searched this whole thread and the only advice I can see is to try to comment out the chdir(). I am very new to this, and can only imagine that means to enter /home/awforums/public_html/forums here: chdir(/home/awforums/public_html/forums)

When I do that, I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '/', expecting ')' in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 144

:ermm:

I've stared at this trying different variations for about 3 hours now. This is my last hope, and I could really use any help anyone has to give me.
