Ok, all the errors fixed, very nice hack man!

Visit my forums for a demo: http://www.ooforums.net

Indeed, it looks nice, the colors are well chosen. :)
I would change the avatars to make them all uniform... that's the mistake everyone makes so the page looks all unbalanced... look at my dsite how nice it looks with uniform avatars...

Another cool thing... I will release soon on the support forums a backend.php file that will allow users to syndicate news (or the hole forum threads) to people. It can be used in Trillian, KlipFolio or just a plain page. It uses XML code technology. I will also develop a script for WAP devices so you get your news or articles on your cell phone... I will see.

I am following a link in order to request access to the restricted access forums at teckwizards. Thanks

ok here is my situation. im guessing i did something wrong. i went through the install procedures. i got the vbhome page under "VBulletin Options". Here is my issue though. I cant see what my new home page looks like. I uploaded all the necessary files and edited them, but I didnt create a vbhome directory because i didnt see where i was told to do so? instead i put the index.php and global.php in the root directory on my server, and uploaded all the other necessary files according to their instructions into the proper place.

at this point I have no idea what to do. when I attempted to access the index.php page it is all white with nothing in it.

any help would be appreciated. thx

Read the readme file, it will show you a diagram how to upload the files.
If you did this you messed your forums, because the vbHome global.php overwritten the forums global.php one.
Use this schema (this was explained in this thread and the readme file about 285 times, is the last time I post it):
[root] < your vbHome index.php and global.php files
---[forum] < printarticle.php file
------[admin] < vbhlinstall.php and vbhlindex.php files

If you want to keep the vbHL files in the same folder as the forum ones, you will have to rename vbHL index.php to home.php and vbHL global.php to homeglobal.php then to change inside both files and related templates the old file names with the new ones.

As I said many times, [high]all those errors were done due to lack of patience on reading in detail the well explained readme file[/high].
And please use the Search Tool in this thread, that's why Firefly took some of his precious time to install it, so people like you in need could use it.

well im sorry I apparently frustrated you Teck. I read your readme file thoroughly, and even got the assistance of someone else (calldeffer) and we went through the install together for our respective sites at the same time, and the same issue occured for both of us.

a 3rd look at the readme file has told me nothing new. let me break down where I put everything in case there is some confusion. here is what I did. When I first sign into my ftp server I have to go into a folder called htdocs. Inside there is where I would put the index.htm file that would allow people to see my website at www.gamegeneration.net.

it is in there that I put the index.php and global.php file. I am assuming this is in fact my root directory since everything feeds off that area. Next I put the vbhomelite printarticle.php and the vbulletin newthread.php into my forums directory. then i put the vbhlinstall.php, vbhlindex.php and the template.php file into the admin directory.

lastly, i put the respective images mentioned in your readme file into the my server.

I apologize if for some reason you think i'm like so many apparent others, but I assure you that if I some how read it wrong it wasnt due to lack of time spent. It was just me missing something that was apparently obvious to you and not myself. Regardless I could use your help if that is at all possible.

thanks

You did not frustrated me. And I will help you. Feel free to ask away...
Upload the files like that:
[root] http://www.gamegeneration.net
---[forums]
------[admin]

That will solve your problems. Also, you can tempararly rename the vbHL index.php to home.php so you set it properly. Once done, rename it back to index.php and voila, your users will have the front page online.

Cheers.

EDIT: In the readme file is explained like that:

man, now im starting to get frustrated. I uploaded the files exactly how you mentioned it, and I am still dealing with the same problem. I will PM you over at the other site with what it is I see.
