No problem. Sorry the install script wasn't working for you.

That's ok, I did it by doing the queries in the phpmyadmin. thankyou for the vbindex and for helping me with the news and other problems, and for trying to help with the install script. BTW, I know this is most likely a little early, but what new stuff do you plan on adding in future versions?

PlurPlanet, thanks for your help; I got it working fine.

Is there anyway to put the first XX characters of the actual post in the latest threads section? Also, I want to be able to put "latest reply by X" in addition to "thread started by X". Thanks.

WSB - Adding the last poster is pretty simple. Just open your myvbindex file and look for:
Replace that with:
Then you would add this code in your index_threadbit template where you want the last poster's name to appear:

<a href="$bburl/member.php?action=getinfo&find=lastposter&threadid =$thread[threadid]">$thread[lastposter]</a>


Putting the first XX characters of the post would require a bit of hacking and some database changes. I may be able to tell you how to do that a little later.

Plur,

I implemented the changes to support multiple myvbidex calls. Things work like a charm. I am relaunching our gaming website using this method. Things are not done, but you can get a sense of how I'm using the multiple calls based on the site links.

The website is www.mhogaming.com

Works great! Great Help! Overall, top notch... thanks for the effort, and can't wait to see what else you come up with. Maybe it will be the temperature bug fix. ;)

Looks good so far, though I didn't see links anywhere to the other copies of myvbindex. Did I miss something, or are they just not linked yet? :confused:

And I wish I could find a fix for the temperature in the weather part too, or at least another site to get the stats from. It works ok on my site, but I've seen too many people that it doesn't work for. :(

In the site links area, there is a Counter Strike section that has a link to "Main Page". This is the reference to my second instance of myvbindex. I will follow the same format for each area I add.

Thanks again, and I'll be patient for the weather thing. :nervous:

Ahhh ok. Looking very nice indeed. Hope you and your members enjoy the hack. :)

I found what's causing myvbindex to hang on polls.

it's that call to get_bbarraycookie

I'm running 2.2.5 and that function does not exist in 2.2.5...

any ideas???

====================================

never mind folks. I downloaded 2.9 and grabbed the function from functions.php. The function is isolated and has little effect on any other modules, so I was able to just paste it into 2.2.5 and polls work properly now..

:)

There's something up with vB.org and I can't actually reply to this thread directly. So after editing the file manually on my own computer and trying it, I hope this actually uploads...
