Hey Teck installed the multiple-forums hack last night and all went well, but wonder if this is possible, at the moment you can specify in vbhome options how many to display on the vbhome page

now only think I dont like is with the multiple-forums hack, I cant specify how many threads to show for forum A and how many to show for forum B, cause on a I would just like for 1 thread to be shown while on B I would for lets say 5 to be shown.

Hey Teck,
One small thing I noticed about vBhome is that if you set your news forum to pull from a sub-forum it adds an extra query than it would if it was pulling from a regular forum. Not sure if that's a bug, if it's supposed to do that or what, but I figured I'd let you know just incase. And either way it's still a great script. :)

is normal to do this because is a child forum. so dont do it.
if you know how forums are pulled as parent and child, you should realise is not recommended. that's why i said to make a new forum, not "sub forum".

there are no bugs in my script.

hypedave, i dont support the hacks. i did that hack without even testing it. presuming that it will work. so you guys get your editors out and start hacking. :)

i think i did enough so far with the script.

how do you add pages? Is there something special to do, or can we just add the normal template with the PHP file to call the template?

what do you mean pages?

Cool... I figured you probably knew, but thought I would let you know just incase. ;)

ok thanks i'll just go uninstall that multi-forum hack, I cant bother with something like that at the moment, messing my vbhome page up :squareeyed:


and for some reason im not getting email notifications from vb.org, oh well,

it's working for me.. i get an email every time someone posts here...

never mind I figured it out now, I get so much email from vb.org that it started being auto filtered as spam, lol

Password please!

Katman, np... as soon as you post that you understood the copyright rules and either list here (or pm) your website url with vbulletin installed on it, i will pm you the password asap.

cheers.

Alright, I need to lay this down simpler so people understand.

http://www.kotorpa.com/html is my website.

I want to take this hack and turn my vB into a dynamic website, but I need to be able to put up content (like the FAQ, about us, etc). Can someone please explain the steps I would take to do this. Thanks in advance :)

I understand the rules and "I Agree" to them, my site is http://www.katanaplanet.com/forums

Thanks!

pm sent. thank you for installing my script.

Hey!
I want to give your script a try on my testboard.

We have a copy of vbulletin running on htmlcenter.com. And we own a legal copy of it. The fact that I can post here proves it. :) I understand your rules.

Please supply me with the password.

Thanks in advance!

Till

P.S.
What's the reason for these legal issues and the "I agree"-part?

Till, are you the owner of the url (htmlcenter.com)?
in that case why do i see klimpong.com as your homepage?
the reason i do all this checking is because people are distribuiting my script without my permission. i saw previous vbHL versions on warez sites.

only license owners(leasers) can install my script. it's not the case for you, since you have your name added to your owner list so you can have access to these forums.
ask your owner to post or request the script and i will pm him the password.

regards,
TECK.

Sorry for the constant nagging, but I really need to know how to do this ;)

np galeforce. is really easy. all you have to do is edit your templates. for example the links template you can edit it and make it your navigation panel, then you move the variable $links anywhere in your home template.

But where do I put the content?

ok guys, another minor bug fixed, related to the article icon, not displaying correctly. also i reduced the JOINS. :)
faster is better right?

since the article query was optimised, i said:
"i should do it also for the latest threads..."
it's done. also i removed the icon code for latest threads, since nobody use it. that will speed the page also.

upload only the vbHL index.php file.

go ahead and redownload the package. :)

ok, i just send an update to all members 5min ago. i need you to tell me if you got it.

yep I got three back to back that time and very off that I also got a vbhome 3.3 update email . Its some strange things going on around here

you mean what template? is called home_link.
the rest is simple html editing.

are you familiar with the template content manipulation? if not, i recommend you to post at vBulletin.com forum and get some tips there. it should help you understand better.

Umm I need a password for your portal. Here's my forum www.videogametheater.com/forum and the portal will be on this page www.videogametheater.com

Many thanks.

i send you a pm.
thanks for installing my script.

Alright, well before I dive into that, im having some other problems.

I HAD to rename the index.php file index2.php because I want to keep my current index as a splash. Now, where do I need to edit the paths? Also, my main page looks messed up...

Check out;
http://www.kotorpa.com/forum

AND COMPARE TO

http://www.kotorpa.com/index2.php

you have to read the readmefirst file carefully gale.
i know is annoying but it has to be done if you want your hack to work properly.

people who followed at letter my instructions there got it up and running the site in no time.
if you run the installer before you complete the readmefirst file, you ruin everything.

I did follow it word for word...

I fixed the smilies (about 100 of them), fixed the paths where you said, etc. What am I doing wrong?

from what i see on your page, you attempted to uninstall, install several time and you got errors, correct?
and read my signature on how to get support on my hacks. thanks.

Nope, I installed it once, and got no errors, but the images at the top are messed up, and the news isn't displaying correctly (the article, the title works)... Is there a certian way to post news?

TECK, I have already done what is says on your signature, how else do you think I would be able to post here?

ok, that's the way it's supposed to be the question, so i can understand exacly what is the problem. :)

1. when you get image errors is because you didnt set the url properly. that's caused by not following the steps properly.

2. the news dont display because you probably missed the step in newthread.php.
did you noticed it says BELOW ADD, not REPLACE?
i hope you didnt replaced the post indexer.

Well this is weird... I ran vbhlindex.php and the news is working... so thats all nice and dandy :)

Now the images ARE showing up, but notice;

On my forums, there is NO white background behind the buttons, on my vB Home there is.

On my forums there is a single image on the top, on my vB home that image is not there and the original vB image is there on the left.

...Oh and where are the templates located, so that I can mess with the code.

You know extra pages driven by vBulletin Templates...

for extra pages: aboutme.php or track_info.php

pages with information that can be displayed...I know how to create them, but I am wondering if I just create the template and include it in the templateset for index.php or do I do something else...

like this:

index.php?section=aboutme&page=ian

Alright, by using my head I figured out that the vB Home IS NOT using the header in my style, since there are missing buttons and such. So, where is the template to edit the header there?

Found it... Im an idiot, somewhat... I searched in Custom Templates, because I didn't think it would be in Default, since its not default :)

Look for Home Page Templates. :)
vbHL is nicely organised. the vbHL options are under vBulletin Options, at the bottom.

and please try not to compare vbIndex with vbHome. they are totally different starting from code and finishing with the html details.
vbHome is designed to look and feel exacly like vBulletin and also to make your life easy, while being a top performance script.

Yeah, I figured that out... now... back to the content thing...

I dont think your understanding me when I explain this...

Notice what the news is in, like a nice little table. Now, I want to add menus to the side, that will display an FAQ, or About Us, etc in a table like that... BUT, I want to do it all in the Admin CP... so that I do not need to link to an entirely different website.
