Hey guys, Ive tried installing,b ut I get this error, looked over what other people have said but still cant fix this:

Please, what do I do?? I don't have much time to get this fixed.

You didnt hack your files correclty, upload default ones and i suggest trying again, dont edit them with somthing like dreamweaver or Microsoft Word, use somthing simple like wordpad.

Ok, now ive got it all installed and set it up in acp, but now i get this on the adv_index page:

DWard, i guess that is your apache who's settings are conflicting

Vonedaddy: i think that is because the lines to search for can be slightly different from the ones that where to find before vB gold. Look for a similar line ;)

How to do in navbar template to change "Forums" and "Home" link when in adv_index page and forumhome page?

Picture shows as below :sleep:

Thanks

check out my site, www.chatboxx.net, and see if my navbar is fixed the way you'd like it.

Hi Xer,
Look in your navbar template for:
And replace that with:
That should do it :)

I don't know why this is happening, because it doesn't happen anywhere else..

vBadvanced doesn't keep users logged in.. until they visit the forums then go back to the vBadvanced..
Users don't stay logged in unless they:
visit forums
THEN visit vBadvanced

It works sometimes, but not all the time.. anyone can help?

They need to clear their cookies, there cookies have become crupted

thanks for the help

Question from a man who wants to eat his cake and have it too.
VB3 Gold.
I would like to make VBA my home.
I have vague ideas of PHP, so I try not to mess up my script's code.
Can you tell me how much an installation of VBA will change my VB code?
And in future, would I have to do anything unusual to upgrade VB now that VBA would be a part of it?
Really, how much does VBA change the default VB?

Thanks.

I am having trouble here. Not all the phrases were installed. Only a few of them. How do i get the others installed. I cant do the install over agian again bc i already installed. What should i do?

sola, anytime you install a hack, you should keep the .txt file that came with it, and ALWAYS comment the code out that your are replacing, and comment the sections of code you add. when you comment, come up with a search term so that you can easily find all file mods.

for instance, when you install vbadvanced, and it tells you to edit a .php file, and says find this: and replace with this:

instead of replacing, simply comment it out using // HACK VBADVANCED REMOVE
and before your added code put // HACK VBADVANCED START and at the end put // HACK VBADVANCED END

do the same for template mods, and now anytime you want to remove a hack, just refer to the txt file that you saved from the hack, go into each modified file and search for your string, and uncomment out what needs to be uncommented.

as far as how much vbadvanced changes your forums, id say basically not at all. its more of an addition rather than a major change. following the instructions step by step carefully resulted in a very easy installation IMO, witht he only minor bug being a clear.gif issue they have already resolved i think, and a missed image path name.

when you upgrade vb, its basically a amtter of doing the upgrade,t hen reapplying the vbadvanced changes that were effected. when i changed from rc4 to vb3gold, i did the vb3gold install, then went back into the vbadvanced install and had the news issue fixed in 15 minutes. i am not a coder, but i do pay attention to detail, and i can follow if statements and the logic behind the code, and their wording and layout seemed very easy to me.

Also, the VBAdvanced homepage as well as this thread ahd all of the instructions on how to do this within a day of vb3gold being released.

ohgeetee,

Thank you for the most helpful response. I have been educated.

Be well.

I tried installing the VBA and when i go through the install i get the following error..

can someone PLEASE help me???

thanks in advance!

1062 Duplicate entry '%s' for key %d => you have to examine your DB :|

What do you mean? My vB is working great right now... so what could be wrong with the database?

Sorry... I'm new to pHp. :(

Just installed it. Great hack Tigga!

Work great!

hey tigga.

i was wondering can i put the portal index file on www.sxsecurity.org and have the rest of it in www.sxsecurity.org/forum . because i installed it and i was not sure on how people were supposed to view it. :-\ i guess i just dont know what i am doing. lol.

can someone help please? i tried going through the steps again and still nothing...

Little things such as: "edit the templates.txt:" part i don't understand either...?

But i'm still getting the 1062 error... I'm sure i didn't edit everything properly... The steps didn't seem as easy as the Myvbindex 3.2 - they dont seem as detailed - so i'm pretty confused. :(

um for the templates u got to pick of the options it gives you on there
lol. like ummm

ahhh... so just one of them? lol aiight...

So what about the other stuff? error 1062, etc. ?

thanks for the help... and do i upload the templates.txt to my public_html ? doesn't say where it goes - doesn't show that it needs to be uploaded either...

The templates.txt you replace the template contents with whats in that template file

First off, I must say, this is an EXCELLENT HACK! Thank you very much!!

If I can make one suggestion, it would be to NOT make the actual code replacements in an HTML read me. The reason being is that web browers on some platforms add small "invisible garbarge" characters when they are displayed. Thus, cutting pasting from a browser and not from a TXT read me is probably what is making some people not hack their php files correctly.

Again, this is a minor suggestion, and I want to thank you for the time in setting up this hack. I love it!

i still need some help with this... is this caused from the vBadvanced or the VB3???? SAYS vb3 - but the vb itself works perfectly fine...?

can anyone help PLEASE????

Run the uninstall, then try installling.

^^^ thanks alot! works now i think...

but i had an INDEX.HTM file - now do i delete that to make the INDEX.PHP file show up???

sorry about all the questions - but like i said- im learning...

nm

got it

thanks zachery and others!

LOL... K... ONE MORE QUESTION. PROMISE!

How do i add content to the custom blocks?

I see someone asked on the Home site... but i registered twice since last night and STILL have not recieved a e-mail back?
TIGGA - can you please check my new user name: Pro and send me my activation codes???

thanks!

Tigga is currently away, and i cannot do this, however check your spam email folder if you have one and your using a free mail account :)

nothing... :(

do you know how to add content to the Custom Blocks???

yea thats a good question i am just trying to figure out what i do when i install this mod how are people supposed to view the forums if i have to overwrite the index.php for the forum with the one for the portal. b/c people cant view the whole forum then.

^^^ you dont over-write the FORUMS index.php... VBA goes in your PUBLIC_HTML directory...

the FORUMS should be like: /public_html/forums/ so your forums will show up as http:// yoursite.com/forums

so now if you have the VBA in the public html directory you just install it - then delete you old INDEX.HTM file... then it comes up nicely...

--------------------------------------

i still need to know how to get content into these custom blocks!!!

Most people put their forums into a directory called /forums or /community or into another folder, if youve plraced vBulletin into your root diretory.

Step one rename your current index.php to forums.php
Step 2 rename adv_index.php to index.php
Step 3 AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Forums Home Page Options > Script Name for Forum Home Page > change to whatever you originaly named index.php to with out the .php
so if you changed it to forums, it now read forums in that box

try editing the templates index_custom and index_custom2

i did that and i went to go login and its like not letting me login i am goin to try it again.

lol... were these supposed to come with the install package? cause if so - i got jipped :(

i dont see these ANYWHERE...? :ermm:
