The Powered by: vBindex Version 3.0.0 RC4 part and the XHTML image can both be removed. Just the vBindex copyright must remain, and the vBulletin Copyright if you don't have the branding-free option :)

Thanks, great hack by the way, installed with ease! :)

Hmm, I upgraded from RC3, and on the homepage, the Internet Explorer "Error" symbol flashes before the images start to load, did I miss a step?

(It also says there is an error for no reason when the page is completly loaded as well)

http://www.exius-ent.com/index.php

(Ignore the Style, Im still working on it..)

I have the following error message at the top of my portal

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/thewar/public_html/vbindex.php on line 143

Also, my logo is off center

http://www.thewarpath.net/vbindex.php

Ok, i have spent way too long trying to find a fix for what I want to do. Maybe you can help me out.

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have made a new "extra" page, I created the regular template to house the $php_output and then the php template. I'm trying to make the php code pull a single post and display it's body information into the page. I have had no luck so far. Here is what I currently have.

What am I missing here? The page loads fine, but the body of the post doesn't output. Any help on this would be greatly appreciate because I just don't know what to do now.

Hey. After voting on the randome poll off the vbindex main page, any other attempts to view that page would return with this database error:

Any Ideas how to fix this? And what caused it... And weather it is fixed in RC4


Edi: After refreshing it numerous times as soon as it happened it stayed on the error page... I then waited 10 mins and re-freshed again and it was fixed... I even kept refreshing to see if the same poll I voted on worked in the main page.. And it did. Very curious, anyi ideas

Also you can see I grab my randome poll from practically all the forums bar 4ish... Is this bad for the code? Also, If i set it on to all, and there is a poll in a forum wich not everyone has acsess to, will someone without rights to view that forum be able to view the poll.
And is there a way to set it to all and just leave a few not checked ever....

This portal workd good to with vb3gold.
but how do i add new pages to it.

Does anybody know, how I can edit the Phrases that came with vbindex RC 4 ?

Admin CP -> Phrase Manager -> vBindex (or vBindex Control Panel) and you'll see a list of all the vBindex added ones. Note vBindex uses some default vB phrases too.

See the link to the tutorial in the first post.

Its a problem with your database and isn't vBindex or vBulletin related.

The poll like all the other areas uses permissions, if the user doesn't have access to the forum they won't ever see the poll from that forum appear.

I assume you mean vBindex RC3 -> RC4 in which case there was a error in the vbindex_headinclude template in an early release, find:

Replace with:

Make sure you have edited vbiconfig.php correctly as per step one of the installer.

Any idea on the pulling a single post's body text onto a new extra page?

Thanks NTLDR, but it didnt help, I already replaced that. Error is still occuring.

Thats definitely the problem, I've justed checked out your site and viewed the source and thats the part thats causing the error.

I see, the code you told me to replace it with had

rather then

Fixed now, thanks.

Sorry, my mistake, I knew it was that bit that was wrong, I just thought it was the entire variable missing (instead I posted the real error *heh*). Glad its working now :)

Is there any uninstall script?

vBindex 3.0.0 RC4 has a built-in uninstaller to remove vBindex 3.0.0 Beta 1 and above.

I edited to exactly what it told me to

I even went back and did it over, obviously I'm missing something

:ermm:

You should have the path set to something similar to /home/thewar/public_html from looking at the error message and your site.

this is what I have

// enter the path to your forums here that you were given during the// install processdefine('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/thewar/public_html');

// enter the extension you use with your vBulletin files
// this is most likly the default .php entered
define('SCRIPT_EXTENSION', '.php');

?>

If I'm updating from vbindex rc3 build 10 is there anything i have to do different besides upload the files and run the script?

absolutely awesome piece of work.

another question NT - how do i edit the colors on the page? where do i go?

You need to edit the file EXACTLY as it is shown which would have been:



And not:

Just edit any templates that it says have been updated that you have customised and thats it.

Admin CP -> Style Manager -> All Options (for the said style).

Could someone share how I could go about adding vbindex (and vbindex extra pages) to my who's online? Since it's index.php in my root directory it's appearing as the message forum and I'm not sure how exactly to distinguish it in functions_online.php. Thanks.

You'd need to make alot of changes to functions_online.php so that it can tell the difference between /index.php and /forums/index.php as its all based on the filename only.

ight cool thanx for info nt....when do u plan on releasing a gold release of this...so we dont have nemore updates...

also if i were to install this on a already running forum with its own style, is the script going to inherit the style that the forum already has, or is it going to overwrite the style i already have in place?

and is it easy to upgrade the script if this version is installed, not the beta 1...and if upgraded, does it overwrite anything already set or will it load the colors and settings from headers and so on to the new version...

Its possible there will be a vBindex 3.0.0 RC5, but that depends on how much more I add. After that vBindex 3.0.0 will be final and work will begin on 3.1.0 or 3.0.1 depending on any bugs found/features added.

It imports the vBindex templates to each parent (top level) style and will use your existing CSS styles.

If your running vBindex 3.0.0 RC3 or later the upgrade will work flawlessly, no templates will be overwritten if they have been altered by you. If your running a version bettween Beta 1 and RC2 then you'll manually have to work out the template changes or delete them and start fresh. No settings or anything are ever lost/overwritten with any upgrade.

coo..your the bombay ;)

2 problems after installing on big board...

the vbindex.php is not showing the shoutbox. the shoutbox DID show on my testboard when i installed it, so i dont understand why it is not now.

i enabled the news area, and put a forum id on there...all is good, it brings the post in the page good, but the icons are not loading that are in the post, like smilies...but they are showing on each thread @ the top left of it...just not in post, and the folders have been properly specified.

after login on the index page, it logs in, goes the main index page, and shows me as guest. this a problem.

Make sure its enabled and assigned to a side block on the side that enabled (if you only have one column).

The smilies need to have a full URL, or a URL like /forums/images/smilies/smilie.gif, if updated with a query you need to save one after running the query. Your icons should be in the format images/icons if not you needto edit the vbindex_newsbit template.

Your cookie path and or domian is wrong, thedomain needs to be .mydomain.com (yes two dots ;)) and the path should be /

ok, so shoutbox doesn't load for guest....the cookie path was set wrong, so login from main page works now, and after login, i see the shoutbox. cool.

the other problem withthe images not showing is confusing me...what do i have to look for and edit in vbindex_newsbit template?

oh, and how can i center the top image????

Edit the <img> tag for the icon, I can't tell you what to change it to as its different for everyone.

Edit the vbindex_header template.
