If your using vBindex 3.0.0 RC4 or RC5 then the calendar has new templates that allow for it to fit 7 days in the standard width side block, take a look at the screenshots in the first post of this thread or the live demo at Core Forums.

I see that, thanks. It's simply a case of choosing 7 days instead of 5. But I notice at the core forums page you have got rid of those little '>' to the left of the calendar and you have also oncorporated the little dropdown button into the same table as the 'Month' title. Any ideas how to fix that? (see attached screen cap.

The new style only works with vBindex 3.0.0 RC4 and above, if you have an older version you can copy the edited calendar_ and vbindex_calendar templates from the vbindex_templates.xml file.

If your using RC4/5 and it doesn't appear like that then the templates will be listed as templatename__3.0.0_RCX in the ACP for you to update your customised ones from.

Ok thanks, I'm using Vb3.0 Gold with your Vbindex RC5 but I may have inherited some conflicting templates that are causing that when I imported a couple of styles from my other board that uses the vbadvanced.
Now I know where to look for the problem, thank you!

When you're viewing the online users block as a regular, non-admin member, there are a lot of extra commas for invisible users.

Is there a way to fix this?

mypage.com????

lets see, and maybe some help can be provided.

If you want vbindex.php to show up when someone enters your site, then you are going to have to set vbindex.php as your url home page within your servers control panel. Otherwise if you call vbindex....index, your forums will not work.

Yes, the best way is to put forum in a /forum folder, and vbindex.php outside that.

One of the nicest easiest hacks to install, thanks to all who took part in this undertaking, Bravo!!!! Now where is that install button,,,,

well let me give u more details

my site is www.bahrainmobiles.com

the forums' url is www.bahrainmobiles.com or www.bahrainmobiles.com/index.php

the index url is www.bahrainmobiles.com/vbindex.php

and i tried setting the vbindex.php to be the homepage but it just wont' work :(

need help plz ..

and if i change the forums' position to /forums will the SQL recognize it ? or will it give me errors?

as long as your config.php is pointing to the Proper DB, it will not effect the boards no matter which directory it is in. (if you do it this way, don't forget to update the forums address in your member CP @ vBulletin.com)

I'm guessing you tried to set the portal as your home page right, via the adminCP??

Rename vBindex.php to index.php.

Then

in the adminCP under the option of "Forums Home Page options" may i suggest you set it to a different name other than index(like forums, home, etc...), then all you have to do is rename index.php(webroot directory) to whatever you named it in the admincp, Like so

http://www.nemesisforums.net/neocorteqz/board.png

When visitors view your home page, it will load index.php(which if you renamed vBindex.php) would be your portal page. :)

then all they'd have to do click the link in the navebar at the top to enter the forums, or click on a topic title.

edit: you'd also have to edit the image paths per the Instructions when you first set up the portal, if you were to change the forums directory..

Getting this error when someone clicks on the Shout Box link
(vbindex.php?action=shoutbox).

Invalid SQL: ## COUNT SHOUTS ##
SELECT COUNT(*) AS shouts
FROM vbindex_shoutbox
WHERE 1 = 1

AND shoutbox.userid NOT IN (7793,4486)
mysql error: Unknown table 'shoutbox' in where clause

mysql error number: 1109

I searched this thread and no mention of it. I haven't mucked around with the shoutbox code at all I don't think.

this is the address of what i get when clicking the shotbox link on your portal home, this is the address i get.

http://www.hullabaloo-raves.com/inde...ction=shoutbox


Did you fix this?? cause i don't see or get this error message.
:)

ok, interesting. You clicked on my homepage link from here, which is to my older domain name. The site switched to a more concise www.hulla.info some time ago, but we still run the older one as well as a legacy.

Where this gets interesting is:

http://www.hulla.info/index.php/?action=shoutbox will produce the error, and
http://www.hullabaloo-raves.com/inde...ction=shoutbox does not.

It's the exact same site. Any ideas?

Shoutbox fix, only apllies if you have people in gloal ignore/user ignore list.

Find in vbindex.php (arounf line 970)

Replace with:

Is this the Currently online users, or the users online today (if shown) part?

Try this edit in vbindex.php find:

Replace with:

That should fix the error if its the currently online users.

Hi!

This is a problem that follows me since vbI RC4.

In the install process of RC5 it loops at step=4 and step=5 it won?t do at all. But even without these steps, it works fine.

The problem comes when i want to export a style updated with vBIndex templates. When re-importing, it always gives me the "invalid XML token" or someting like that.

Also, I have XML files that import well, but give me the following error:

I?m pretty sure it must have something to do with vBIndex. Because the same style producing the last error works fine with the default index.php

I would be happy if you had a sloution for me, especially for my first problem with the corrupt xml files that refuse to import.

edit:The corrupt xml files either contain something like that: "", replacing a hand of caracters, or something like that:

including the names of current systray processes.

environment:
(win xp)
Apache *.49
PHP Version 4.3.4
mysql 3.23.49
hacks: vbindex
vB Gold (reinstalled and database cleared everytime before trying to find an other solution with the XML thing)

I know that, but could there be an add-on to make it have some type of Mini Gallery, I mean how hard could it be? All's you would have to do is add a mini section for picture uploads, I was just wondering, if this is too much work I totaly understand, but I figured I would ask. Is there anyone that could possibly do this?

I don't intend to make one however integrating anything into the side blocks/extra pages is just a case of adding the PHP code to the relevent template.

I would like to add a php script in the custom box? How can I do this? I tried to read the posts but it is 77 pages or so and i couldnt find an answer. I am php stupid so can you be detailed please?

Also, can you do php includes in the footer??? If so, how?

Add it to the vbindex_customblock_php template within the case X part (where X is the number of the custom block) and then use $boxY_php in the custom block template where you want your output (Where Y is the block number).

PHP will only work in phpinclude_start, phpinclude_end, vbindex_customblock_php and vbindex_extra_php_NAME templates.

Cool...that worked. Now part two. I want to add another box like the centered latest threads window or the news. How can I add the php code so it will show under the latest threads.

You'll need to edit vbindex.php and add your code there. PHP powered center blocks arn't supported at the moment.

I tried that...i put it in the latest threads part. It always puts it on the top of the page??? i cant get it to the bottom.

the style select option on the index page is not working properly...it will load 1 style, then if u try to change the style in the drop down after you change it once, it will not load.

some1 told me that the New Post link is not working also, but i am not duplicating this problem. vBindex RC3 is what im running right now.

do you know where i should put the code?

How do you make the title image on the vbindex page centered?

Another request since you guys brought up center block...I like to see a weather block either add or an addon. Mainly since someone create one for vbadvanced.

Is there a way to allow HTML in the news block if it's allowed in that forum?

HTML should be parsed automaticly if the forum allows it.

I tried with an img link that was left justified so the text would flow around it. In the forums it worked fine but on the index all it showed was the html img code.

The uninstaller didn't do anything, all the phrases and template were left, it only remove the shout table... any suggestion how to completely remove this hack?

Manually remove the phrases/templates.

Yes, I have done it... but it's quite inconvenience... hope you can fix it later...

how can i add permissions to a custom block ?

i want to have a custom box that only certain usergroups can see.
the custom block like it is, is viewable by all.

thanks for a sweeeeeet hack.

yeah, I just double checked and the main page is replacing the html codes with innoquous '&' codes where as the forum is display the < > html codes properly. Any idea where that would be happening?

On the centered threads, how can I remove the row with the buttons for replying and emailing and so on?

got a little problem if it login at the main page of vBindex then its Redirecting... back to the main page but i'm not loged in

anyone know how to fix this :)

humm, the install was a breeze what a great simple hack!
man its not even a hack, its a addon its so easy..

anyway, one weird problem. my gradients wont show up?!
I have even tried some direct background="http://fullpath/gradient.gif" in tables and still nothing?

anyone clear this up for me, thanks :)

again great mod period.

In the CSS for the table header/cat in the style manager add something similar to the following in the Extra CSS Attribute box:

Or if you still have vB's default CSS the edit the URL in the background box.
