also can u look @ that reviews.php i have got the table in the bd already all i need is the file fixing :D

allow them to view forum home, but not read the posts within the forum until they register.

ok also can u look @ the reviews.php i will try on my end but it will be better to have a few doing it :D

can't help you with the php dude.
what's the problem you're having?

well i want to turn this vBPortal reviews page into a vBIndex one so i can add it to vBIndex :D

sorry, but i definitively can't help you there.
good luck though.

yep when its done it will be top to add to vBIndex :D

The templates in the installer are royally screwed up. If you put a quote in a news post, it messes up the display of the whole page.

Quoting in news posts and the shoutbox works fine with the default vBcode, if you have changed it, its your changes that are causing it to display incorrectly.

just tested that on mine gamer, and it looks fine.
can you post a screenshot?

also, do you have the character limiter on? if so, i'll cut off the post after that amount of characters regardless of whether or not it reaches the [ / quote ].
know what i mean?

I hadn't changed anything, it was a fresh install. I re-installed it 5 times before I realised the quote was the problem.

Oh and for an example go to www.GamerForums.com - excuse the horrible style, I just lost my default one trying to install a hack. :(

You have the PHP, Code and Quote boxes installed, this doesn't work with vBindex.

Ah right, I kinda forgot that was a hack I'm so used to it. Thanks. :) Any idea on how I can make them work with it? They used to work in earlier versions...

There have been no changes to home_news or home_newsbit since v2.0.1 that would cause this.

I also use the PHP/Code/Quote changes...

Thats probably what caused my screen to go all strange;)

I just installed this hack. It's working well, except that none of the images (except for avatars) are not showing up. The index page is located in the directory under the forums, and I did the chdir line in the file. Any ideas what could be causing this?

{imagesfolder } needs to be set to the Full URL.

hey ntldr, just thought i'd let you know i upgraded all of my twenty odd pages today to 2.1 and it went off without a hitch. didn't worry too much about the template changes, and i'm saving querries like crazy.
i appreciate all the help and hard work.
thank you very much.

well mine works fine :D

d00d it might be ending in the middle of the code so it might mess up if you got XX characters set :D

How do I get the top 10 posters and top 10 online on the vbindex page?

Thanks

Larry

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/www/data-dist/azn/vbulletin/upload/vbindex.php on line 112

copied everything correctly too. could use some help! thanks.

Glad to hear it all went smoothly Buddha :D

You need to add the code from that hack to vbindex.php and add the variables to the vBindex templates.

You haven't added the code correctly and as I've said before the information you have posted is useless, no-one can help from that alone.

hey ntldr, i have a quick question. where can i change it so that when there's a quote in the post, it doesn't say Quote:.
it's not the default quote template, as i've changed that.
don't know where to find it for vbindex.

thanks.

You need to edit the Quote vBcode in the ACP to remove that part ;)

Or did you just want that line removed in news posts only?

actually, just removing the line would be great.

Should work, find:

Add after:

Change quote: to the exact text that is being removed (thats the deafault for vB.)

thank you very much buddy. nice to know i can rely on you for help.
works like a charm, granted i had to cap the 'q' in Quote... seems to be the default on mine.

thanks again.
(just starting the work on the second theme... having a blast with your script... gotta tell ya.)

I am just wondering, hopefully this won't sound too stupid ;)

I bought a style/templateset for my vB ( TREN_Z ) - if I install vBindex 2.1 will it use the graphcis inside my bought style or will it be the standard "purple"?

It will use the cololrs and graphics specified in the style you are using. You may have to make some edits if they haven't used the standard vB images names.

I'm having a problem: only the newest news item shows a message icon, even though all of them have icons assigned. Any ideas?

hey ntldr, i've installed the "allow admins to use HTML always" hack, but it still shows up as text html in vbindex unless html is allowed via admin cp.
is there a way to code it so that if the post is made by admin usergroup, it will allow html regardless of whether it's allowed in the admin cp.

thanks.

ntldr - still having problems with posts showing up in the "latest threads" that the user doesn't have access to.. everything on my board is set to require login except for viewing of forum home yet you can see posts from all of my boards in the box..

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

@sHORTYWZ - Check that Guests / Registered cant see the private forums at all;)

Goto your Admin CP:

Click "Update Counters" from the sidebar menu...

Then run the "set postids" option...
