Hi!

You go to admincp/templates and find one of your vbindex customblocks that is available.
Replase all of the content with this:


<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" style="text-align: center">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('vbindex_customblock$box')"><img id="collapseimg_vbindex_customblock$box" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$collapseimg_vbindex_customblock.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<strong>Diverse</strong>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_vbindex_customblock$box" style="$collapseobj_vbindex_customblock">
<tr><div>

I tested the code on my forum, and it worked fine.
After inserting into one of your customblocks, you have to go to vbulletin options/vbindex options and set active the customblock on either left og right side of your vbindexportal.

:)

mh, someone should do it because I think it's a very nice and useful hack which many users here would want to have back...

the problem is, I don't like vBAdvanced because the login isn't working and all the links redirect to the bburl variable, some browsers don't like the redirect from the bburl to the redirection of the forums, I also can't report bugs there and I'm missing my good old vBIndex shoutbox :/

NTLDR, please come back :D

Really thank you appreciate your help.

Yikes. I was looking forward to upgrading to 3.5 but my whole site is based on vbindex, so I don't know what my options are. Guess I'm stuck with the older vbulletin for a while.

I renamed my vbindex.php to index.php so that the portal is the first thing people see when they login to the domain.

HOWEVER, how do i show the forum list under the welcome box in the portal?

hello all; i have a big problem :speechless:
i install vbulletin 3.5.0 and this work fine in my windows host. but when i do install vbindex i have a get this eror:

Warning: main(.//functions_vbiupgrade.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \admincp\vbiupgrade.php on line 57

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './/functions_vbiupgrade.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\sites\Single15\mahvahost\webroot\forums\admincp \vbiupgrade.php on line 57

please help me how to solve this problem. do you install vbindex in vbulletin 3.5.0?
sorry for poor english. regards

vBIndex is not for vBulletin 3.5.x

best regards

Hi, bit rusty at this but just uploaded all the correct files to the roo and admincp directory, except the config file and getting this error after the login page:

Warning: main(.//functions_vbiupgrade.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 57

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './/functions_vbiupgrade.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/devweb/ukmonster.co.uk/user/htdocs/monster/admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 5

I've checked and double checked all the right files are there.

thanks in advance,

Stuart

I have an issue with the calendar on the main screen. It displays properly but when I click on an event, it goes to an error page "Page cannot be found." How is that possible if it's pulling the events correctly to the mini calendar?

Will this work for 3.5.3?
