Hi Teck:
i sent you the newthread.php. Exaclty where do i look to see if articleid is present in the thread table?


Hooolala:
In the readme file, it tells you specifically what to edit. Here is the section:

Baptizer, open phpMyAdmin and look into table thread. The field articleid should be present there. Your newthread.php file is ok.

Hello Teck:
I looked in the THREAD table and articleid was present(articleid int(10) UNSIGNED No 0).

This is very odd......sigh. I set up a brand new testbulletin, so its not as though i have conflicting information from hacks, etc. Does this have anything to do with me having my index.php file named clan.php? I have no other ideas. No one else had these difficulties before, so this is odd.

Edit: not sure if this helps, but here is what i get when i run vbhlindex.php. It completes successfully:

Hello Teck,
I was able to get it working, but only by adding forum 2 to this:
$articleforum = '2,4';

The news forum is 4, but the text for that forum is not being displayed on vbhome. However, when I added forum 2, i noticed that the text was being displayed for that one. I then tried creating a new forum, and added it to the list. However, the text for that one was not showing either. Any ideas? Obviously it is working right somewhat, but it is not accepting newly created forums.(after i create a new forum, and add it to the $articleforum = '', i then ran vbhindex.php.....still nothing)

Just quit reindexing, this tool is made only for an old forum that have other threads, is not ment to be used on a regular basis.
I have no idea why is not working on your site, you are the only one having this problem.

Create a new forum. Then enter this ID onto the vbHL options. Save the options. Post a new thread, it will work. Quit reindexing.

And don't add anything to the vbHL files, use the default ones that came in the zip file. No $articleforum, no hacking until you get it working, ok?

Can anyone tell me where the variable $ articleforum is declared, because I can't get any of this script to work yet and that's the empty string that's coming up as an error...?

I've searched the global, and it's not declared there - but it's used prolifically in index.php. :(

Sorry for such a lame newbie question, but I love this hack and am so frustrated.

Another tidbit - couldn't install this to the root of the web server yet, as it's a working site. Created a dev directory with a duplicate of the existing vBB code and database...

Oh, wait, might have just answered my own question. I didn't edit the install code...could be I just installed the extra stuff to the live database instead of my test...dangit. :(
