Update: copied & pasted the "old" 3.2 poll-code in my current 3.3 index.php

Poll is working now again.

So I'm available for support, but only for version 3.3 or matters that are not dependant of version.

leechesss, you should upgrade to 3.4. the code was improved, especially the articles query.
upgrade and turn off the options you dont want. it will run faster then 3.3
however, the poll code never changed, except a little for the query. make sure you insert the $ipollperms the way they are now.

just skip the member.php and template related changes.

Yea, sorry man, I was a little unclear about what to do. Didn't want to mess up all the work I had done to this point by making a silly mistake. BTW, I will gladly help anyone that needs it here, at least to the best of my ability. Teck has been more than accomodating, and it's the least I can do. Not an expert by any means, but I'll do my best. :)

Don't worry TECK. I will upgrade eventually, it's just that I don't have the time to keep up with you :) :)

And my current setup works, so I won't bother to change a winning team until there is serious reason to do so (eg. security issues).

i will not make a new release for a while. maybe next month, after i finish my forums.

I'm looking forward to your forums :)

Upgrade to 3.4 went well.

Question about avatars. The journalist group or whatever group I pick, by default has access to these avatars I upload, right? Now, this avatar that they pick only shows on the main index page, next to the news they post, right? Not in the forums postbit? The avatar in the postbit remains the one they uploaded, not the one from the jounalist group? Confused.........about this.

no, the avatar will be displayed also the postbit. the idea hiding them is to prevent other users to use the journalist avatars.
but they will work the same way like regular avatars. it's kind of a private avatar section for your staff only. the staff will have their predefined avatars that they select (the best way is to use pictures, it looks cool... look at sitepoint website). the rest of users can upload their custom avatars the usual way.

i did it this way to save a big JOIN, since the "default avatar" table will be alot smaller then the "custom avatar" one. the result will be a faster search onto the database, since the default table will have only few id's, instead of 10,000 for example, in the custom one.

also, if you disable the uploads, your custom avatars will not work, but the default ones, will.

btw, your no. of queries looks good now. :)

ok. i wrote in a better way now the poll query.
i need few beta testers with v3.4 installed to upload the new vbHL index.php file before i release it...

I'd like to try out this hack on my forums...

ok cool, thanks
Um I was wondering, since I am going to put vbhome on Mindsights, I was wondering how to keep my footer in tact as well has keep the vbhome footer their as well. I know you said dont remove the footer wich I want, but here is how my current vb footer looks like and was wondering if I can do the same with vbhome. thanks

oh yeah umm on my forum I have a second news section and was wondering will vbhome 3.5 allow you to have two news group forums for the main page.

[high]* refertech scratching his head.
[/high]
I dont see those codes in my templates.

Ok, ill buy the beer for some one on one. :) But I know your busy so ill keep working on it. But 3.4 is working great for me. Thank you for your patience with me. Teck. Your probably thinking, why did i ever start this thread. :)

Mark

This may help you out man.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...&pagenumber=34

refertech, did this fix the problem for you, cause it did not for me. I am on VBhome 3.4 and everything works great, BUT I still can't login at the www.mysite.com url. When I edited the templates mentioned, I could not login at all except under my admin control panel WTF??? Anyway, if someone trips across a cure, let me know.

PS TECK I could really use that logout and forum button from your site.........:)

No, i couldnt find the code that Teck was telling me to replace. Part of that code was in those templates but not all of it, so until i talk with Teck im scared to mess with much. Teck is a smart guy he will beable to tell us what we did wrong.

Mark

I post about that and yet Teck didnt answer so I wonder if you understand Teck's post that he answer your QQ? If so can you clear it up? Really, I dont undy what Teck said. I wonder if you know how to get Journalist's avatar on home page? If so, can you explain a bit about this?

Thanks

Well the code I understand, he had us adding $bburl in front of the member.php and the register.php in those lines. The problem is it didn't help, actually made it where you could not login at all. I a msure TECK will figure this out. I love the Vbhome, I am adding more to it now. Wonder if there is a way to get the vbulletin login box to not come up and instead use the vbhome login. Of course I have my board to where you ca nview nothing if you are a guest, so that may have something to do with it.

Still want then logout and forum button TECK............LOL

How about you add "$bburl/forums/" in front of member.php and register.php? (instead of just $bburl)

Yea, that would be cool. I'll keep on it and let ya know if i come up with something. I also have guest dis abled on my board too. :)

Mark

Well I have not tried that, but the value for $bburl on my board is www.mysite.com/forums so I don't think it would help.

On your BOARD yes, but I've noticed that in vbHome it seems to point to your root instead. There's no harm in trying.

Ahh, Leechesss. That worked for me. :) Man thanks.

Mark

Thought so...

Ya, all your normal links in the nav bar on vbHome will have to set to $bburl/register.php, etc. Don't forget search as well.

Basically, its set so that if you have members who report the news to your front page, you want to make sure they don't have a bad avatar. This prevents them from uploading one that would appear on the main index. YOU, have control over which avatar they would use.

Who wants to help with adding a forum jump to the vbHome page?

Does anyone know how many queries the forum jump adds?

You my friend, are the man!!!! That took care of it. Now all I need is that logout and forum standard button of of TECK's test board, and I will be set...................Thanks

I feel so duuuuuuuuummmmbbb. LOL :banana:

stay away from it, it will add 2 queries.

just un-quote in the header the "logout" button. :)

all you have to do is make the graphic footer bar, saying:
Powered by vbHome (lite) and vBulletin ... (more text here)

then, use a <map> to place the link only in certain areas, more exacly over the product text.

i just looked at one our new vbHome members home page. no wonder he want to switch to vbHome:
Page generated in 0.48173304 seconds (27.39% PHP - 72.61% MySQL) with 49 queries.

Ok, thanks... I try and avatar refuse to show on home page, so I edit Teck's hack and modifty a bit with my code. It finally work and show it at homepage.

Thanks for response

TECK.
Is it ok to modify the template so I include a small menu on the right hand side so Members can go straight to my forum, or goto other SHTML pages?
Just checking if I am allowed before I do.
Thanx

i would like to try this out now Teck...

can u PM me that password :D

Regards
