If you have a completely static page, it will take some integration work, but it is very possible. You can customize the look of the modules in the same way you can customize vb, so I'd think that is possible.

I dont know what you mean static...

www.NightmareMotorSports.com

maybe you can tell me lol.

What I mean by static is that you write the html, not a php, asp, cgi, or some other script. Scripts like this dynamically build the html on the fly and that's why they're so much easier to maintain.

So far looking at what you have, it does seem like you main page is static. But your main page also looks like it is already using cmps even though it isn't. Everything that you have on the main page right now could be done using cmps. And it shouldn't be too painful since you already know what you want.

I tried to install this on my COBALT theme, there are some lines that I cannot find it in the navbar templates. Is there anyways to get around with it?

Try setting up a parent-child system for your styles, or it will be hell modifying everything over and over.

Here's what I have, stock vb style is the parent. Under that is a child style where I've put all my mods/hacks. Under that I add any other styles and they inherit most of the mods. Try it and then modify only what templates need mods.

There a tutorial on how to make a page? Like whats needed in the php file?

The best place to look for help on this hack is www.vbadvanced.com. There's good on-line documentation as well as complete forums with every question you can imagine asked and answered.

i'm sorry but can you be specific. I have no idea what you're talking about.. LoL :disappointed:

how do i uninstall this hack?

Re-run the installer and choose the uninstall option. ;) Then just remove your file edits.

where is the "installer'?
sorry...the hack was already on when i "inherited" the forum

unless he deleted the file (which he should have) it is in /forum_root/adminc/

Hi i'm sorry if i am late but I must say this..

GREAT STUFF!! I must thank you for this CMS!!

haha...I've been there.

Go under Admincp-->Styles and Templates-->Style Manager-->Download/Upload Styles. I'm assuming you're using this to install the new styles. If you notice, under the Import Style XML File options, there is one towards the bottom called Parent Style. This is where you can make a new style a child of a current style.

So how do you use this? Let's say you have a default style that has all of your template mods and hacks. Instead of adding a new style as a new style, add it as a child style by making the default style the parent. By doing this, the child style will inherit a lot of the mods you've made to the parent style. You'll proabably still have to do some editing, but it will be a lot less. And if you make a change in your default style, it will update the child automatically if the child inherited the change from the parent.

You can add multiple styles this way and changes to your parent style will automatically cascade down to the children. And then only in the cases where the changes don't cascade will you have to directly edit a style.

Hope this helps.

The login on the main page doesn't work, and just redirects the user to the forum, where they need to login again. Any idea how to fix that?

It's a cookie issue. I haven't even searched for a fix myself yet. :lol:

By the way, how to add the Forums url into the Home Page and vice versa ( a Home url into the rest of the forum's pages ? )

Thanks in advanced.

I was having a similar problem, and Brian was able to help me out.

Here is the post I made over there

I bet you're having the same problem that I was.

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...19&postcount=1

I have a problem with vbadvanced. Site loads very slow, I mean only the index page. Forum and other stuff working very fast. Could you please advise something?

Thank you!

Are you using the default style? If not, there's some table formatting issues.

SamirDarji, right I'm using custom style. What is formatting issue? Could you please specify?

Thank you in advance!

I was actually replying to the series of posts above talking about the formatting issue, but I also have a suggestion for your problem. Check to make sure the templates used in each custom module is listed. Without these, they won't be cached and load times will increase. Also try using the stock vb style and see if the speed increases. If it does, you'll need to see what else in that particular style may be causing problems.

Nice hack. Instalation went without a problem :)

I also added the Shoutbox module, and even pasted the shout module onto my forumhome http://www.nakazdytemat.com

im tryin to install uCash/uShop Hack and when it comes to doing the steps in alterring "In your navbar template template: (2 Changes)" i get the error "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forums/admin115/template.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. "

what am i doing wrong? any solutions?

Very good coded thx to the Coders :smoke:

I have also installed this Modification and didn´t have any problems with it :squareeyed:

Just upgraded my forums to 3.0.7....then went ahead and did the php file edits. Everything is working right, however, in my control panel there are two instances of 'vBa CMPS' on the lefthand menu in control panel.

Does anyone know how I can go about removing one of these entries? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Fixed problem, my dumb-butt accidently added index.php code twice :( lol

i just installed this on my vbulletin version 3.0.7 it is great. Had a few little probs since i am a noob at vb. But his forum helped me out greatly with the few little problems i had. Very well done brian keep up the good work!!!!

Can anyone tell me how to prevent the users avatar from displaying on news postings made on the portal page?

you can turn the avatar off within your admin panel. Just go to the vba cmps section and edit that page that has the news on, and one of the options for the news asks you if you want avatars on or off.

Hey guys quality hack

How do I set up a couple of modules in the centre with welcome info in one module

and

Whats new info in another below it please


Here is my forum http://harddanceaddict.net/harddance...orum_index.php

Cheers

Hi There

How do i totally remove this hack from my db and templates etc

Cheers ;)

Just follow the directions in reverse. ;) The script vbacmps_install.php has an uninstall option in it and that'll remove your DBs, stock templates, etc -- for any custom templates that you manually modified/created you'll need to undo/remove them on your own. The PHP changes can be left in there but if you really want to remove everything then remove them also.

yeah i ran that and got >> Fatal error: Call to undefined function: globalize() in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/forum/admincp/vbacmps_install.php on line 2086

cheers
