Its something to do with the URL you use to visit the site, using http://www.bowlandcentral.com/forum/vbindex.php/ results in the incorrect path for the smilies where as http://www.bowlandcentral.com/forum/vbindex.php (note the lack of the final slash) the smilies work correctly.

You need to edit your CSS for each style as per the install intructions.

If you have uploaded the files as per the install instructions there is no reason why you would get that error.

or is there a reason that its not applying it to my vbindex pages?

"You need to edit your CSS for each style as per the install intructions." how would i go about doing that?

will this work with php4 vb? if not, do i only have to change all the php extensions to php4?

yes that fixed the html issue. thanks.

[high]How To Add Extra (Non-Dynamic) Pages With vBindex 3.0.0 RC3 or above

NOTE: Upon saving this template you WILL get an error, ignore it and press continue

Is there any way to ged rid of that error, what to change in the functions.php file maybe?



RC5 - 3.0.0 - soon?

NTLDR, is it possible to leave the portal open, even if the board is closed ?

NTLDR how do i Edit my CSS for each style so that the itll apply to my vbindex page

Admin CP -> Style Manager -> All Options (foreach style)

Should be 100% compatible with the different extensions, in vbiconfig.php find:

Replace with:

Then rename the .php files to .php4 WITH THE EXCEPTION of vbiconfig.php WHICH MUST have a .php extension, and will work with .php regardless of what your server is set to use for PHP.

Somewhere in adminfunctions_template.php lists the two phpinclude templates to ignore that error. Full details of this optional edit will be with vBindex 3.0.0 (Final) which will be the next release assuming no major bugs are found.

I know you have heard this before, but AWESOME HACK!!! Thanks for all the work you put into this. It installed EASY and QUICK. Thanks Again...

hmm im somewhat confused exactly what id have to do, i know what your talking about just still confused, can you give an exact example?

uhm.... answer ?

Very nice project - but not very useful if you can´t create unlimited sites and boxes from the AdminCP. That´s a MUST HAVE FEATURE ! Why does this one didn´t have it ? Ok - you can do it manually - but who whant´s that ?

i keep getting this error when i enable the news groups...any idea on what im doing wrong?

thanks

After I install vbIndex and export the style I get the error:
when reimporting it.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Hmm. As it looks like your problem is here:

WHERE forumid IN (http://www.highertuning.com/forums/...isplay.php4?f=2)
AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
AND forumid NOT IN (0)
AND thread.open <> 10
AND thread.visible = '1'

The yellow words should be your forum number and not your link. I would assume that you have an error in your ACP. Where it says put in your forumID you put in the complete link to your specific forum. But this is wrong. Just type in the number "2" and nothing else and it should work.

You can create unlimited boxes from that ACP, thats been built-in for ages. As the name suggests vBindex provides an index page for your forum, its not designed to be a muti-site system, although I do plan to make that posible in the future.

No, whats on the line it says there is an error on?

I just installed a test board, without having vBIndex installed. I import a style including vbIndex templates. When exporting the style and reimporting it it gives me the error.

The lines differ from time to time.

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.

here is another example:


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've no idea where thats comming from, those characters arn't used in vBindex anywhere. Its possibly a bug with vB's import/export system or with your configuration.

ok, i feel stupid for doing that, i'm gonna blame it on lack of sleep lol, but i no longer have the error, yet the news portion does not show

lol errr i still dont know exactly what to do to make the vbindex page show my category strips as images..

Well i got it all installed but can anyone help me fix this problem


http://sxsecurity.org/http://sxsecur...cons/icon1.gif


my images are coming up like that take a look for yourself

http://sxsecurity.org/vbindex.php

does anyone know where i can fix that at to make it better b.c in the image icons they dont give u the option for icons. but they do everything else.

Icon images should be in the format images/icon.gif if you have the full URL, which it seems you do you need to edit the vbindex_newsbit template and remove the $vboptions[bburl]/ from the icon <img /> tag.

Ok, thanks. Great hack btw :)

I will bend down and kiss your feet. :D I have been workin on trying to do this with VBadvanced, VBindex, and a few others .... @ snail speeds. :nervous:

Ideas:
** A person can use the same templates for all portal pages with "multi" setting installs.

** portal.php?=subject or each subject has a folder */subject/vbindex.php

NTLDR, could you please answer my question: Is it possible that the board is closed an the portal is still working normally ?

Not without hacking your forums global.php.

Quick Question for anyone:

Is it easy to get rid of the Nav Bar? I am interested in making the front page for a new site of mine somewhat flashier than the normal 'nuke block' look but I would really like to run something like VbIndex under the hood so to speak to make my life easier when it comes to updating the news, or links and such.

Just remove $navbar from the VBINDEX and VBINDEX_SHELL templates :)

Difficult ?
Would be a great feature.

Thanks i did what u said
www.sxsecurity.org
but now next to the news it says default. wtf. how do i get rid of that more make it say News:

O yea how do I make another Box. I wanted to make a Link box so it could have links to other sites. Sorry I keep asking questions i only been using this for a while. i been away for some pretty good time in the navy.

Hi Ghostspy,

please open one of the customer templates and edit them accordingly. After that go to the vbindex options in the ACP and enable it either on the left or right side. That's it.

Heya :)

can someone point me in the direction of a thread (or offer their own advice) that will show me how to add a paypal link to a custom block? I just want the paypal button the members click to show up in the custom block, but I don't know what code to add to do this.

Many thanks!! :D

I got this error

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:') in /home/sasa/client/warcraft/www/vbindex.php on line 145
