Thanks Teck.

If you are using your headinclude file from your forums, just edit the head_newpm template, make sure the path is correct. Mine is set to;
/forums/private.php

thanks alot guys for helping out the newcommers. your experience help them alot.. and also it gives me more time develop the new version.

i want to know, do you want images attached? or attachments? or both? for 3.5?

Teck- Have a look at my page....Hmm, maybe there is a problem with the new vbHome_index.php. My polls are no longer showing.

Saw that, and made the change. No difference. had to upload my old index.php file. Now the poll shows.

aha.. for some reasons.. it doesnt like the forum perms i inserted there.. i will make a new file.. let me know if that made a diff... i will attach it here

Here's the new file, with those changes;
http://www.macfora.com/index1.php
Here's the old index.php
http://www.macfora.com/

Polls show on the old index.php, not the new one

Both! ^_^

As far as images, I would prefer not to have them on my front page, cause God only knows what people will upload. I would think we would need some kind of control over the size as well. Maybe too much work.

Hey Teck I just noticed that on my forum home, it is showing users not logged in a thread title that was posted in a private room, could this be a possible bug. Also in 3.5 are you going to allow multiple news forums by any chance :glasses:

you can switch them on/off in admin cp.

you didnt set your permissions properly.. and no, there will not be multiple forums.
there is a link on the first post.. for a hack to do this.

Download the multipleforums Folder, somewhere in this thread. You can set more than one forum to display news.

Can do that but with Journalist feature or 3.4, it cannot work since it cause the conflict between Journalist function and multiforum for some reason. I try everything and nothing work. It can work only with 3.3. I was hoping for 3.5 but Teck state that it will not. :(

smoothie, i want you to do this, in your vbHL latest index.php file:
FIND:
and delete it... let me know if the polll it's working.

K, one sec....

i dont understna dwhy it works for me and no one else teck

beats me, it's working perfectly on mines to.
i noticed is not working well in any versions but 228.

Teck-

yes, the poll now shows.
http://www.macfora.com/index1.php

ok, so here it is the deal. i noticed that all people who have problems with the poll dont have installed v228. what you just took out was the forums permissions for the poll. is not a really big deal, but is more secure with it. since you dont have v228 installed, it will not work properly so i recommend you to let it the way it is until you upgrade.

also, you have this line like that in the poll query?
if you dont, put it back and let me know, it should work fine.

Mine 2.2.8 too and it work well on mine ditto

Thanks man. Your alright. I dont care what TECK said about ya. :P
j/k. :)

Mark

in the latest index.php file the speed is increased by 20%, that's why i recommend you all to use 3.4. if you are not sure you have the latest zip file, clear your cache and redownload the package. then upload only the index.php one to your site.

how can I edit the index.php file to exlude a certain forum(s) to not display on latest discussions?

thx!

ok guys, i looked at the attachment issue. it can be done ofcourse, but i have to add a new field to the thread table, called attachmentid. more database mods, more possible issues.

i dont like it. so it will not be done. i think for what it is now, the package is pretty complete.
however, i noticed one thing. if by accident the text is bigger then the number of charaters, and there is some BBcode in there, it will break everything and make it look horible. i could make a code striper, that takes out all BBcode if the text is bigger. it shouldnt be hard, i will see.

by setting the right perms to them.

Let me try to explain this better... I need this thing to be able to create like a navigation menu on the side, so that I can have information pages... Like About Us, FAQ, etc.

and? it's already there. just edit for example the links template and put inside whatever you want...

Teck-

I dowloaded the latest zip file, removed $ipollperms from the index.php. Everything seems to work fine. So you're saying that removing that code will now cause polls to show that are posted in a private forum????

i just finished a maintenance on index.php. now the poll is based on the version you run. if you run lower then 228, it will disable the forum perms automatically.

smoothie, and everyone else, i recommend you to use either a user called The Poller that you post with it your poll, if you dont upgrade to 228. or to post polls in forums that are not private, orelse it will show it to your users.

the trick is this: if a authorised poller posts a poll anywhere (private or regular forum) the main page will show the latest poll based on viewer's permissions. if you have perms to see a private forum, then you will see that poll from the private forum. if you dont, you will see the latest poll (posted by an authorised poller) from a regular forum.

if you have a lower version then 228, it will show the latest poll, no matter if private or not the forum.

i'm uploading the file right now. i will let you know when you can download it.

hmmm.. hold on a sec.. i think i found a way to fix this problem...
smoothie? get back to me... let me know when you are here.. i get an email notification...

smoothie, add me to your msn messenger:
nakkid@msnDOTcom

anyone else who will try to add me without my permission, will be automatically blocked.

Here Teck...

Don't have MSN messenger, just aim and icq.

Teck,
I'm running 2.2.8 and removing the $ipollperms fixed my poll problem too. Maybe it's a PHP version issue?

What version php you running?

4.1.1

Alright, but how would I make it appear in the entire vB Lite thing. For example, my FAQ link... I would have a menu on the side, and in it would be FAQ, and then when you click that I want the FAQ to come up on a page in a table like the news is. Same area, jist a different page.

Same here.

this is simple HTML w/ tables

make a frame and inject your text into its own table or something

dont be THAT lazy...
