Hi.... any ideas about how can you get Private messages to show right under your buddy list ?

You need to add the nessersary query/queries to vbindex.php and adjust your templates accrodingly.

Sorry I dont know how to do this.... I?m a newbie :)
can you plz explain step by step ( if you have the time )

btw www.swespy.firstnet.se - looks nice now

Take a look through the thread for how to add extra features, its been covered step by step before. The code you need to add is in forums/index.php to get the PM info:

okay... tnx... I?ll give it a try... not sure how thou :)

( have been readning this thread in 3 days now, not sure my brain can take more info right now, also just moving server for my forum)

everythign installed alright.

but i get this error when i go to the index.php (formerly mYvBindex.php)

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /vol/drive2/sites/site39/web/index.php on line 13

mYvBindex.php is in the root dir and the forums are in /forums

server has one of those /web dirs that everything goes into. but if i put that in the path it doesn't work either. (i'v never had to put /web in and path to make anythign work before)

if you go to www.nbdclan.com/forums the board works fine.

if you go to www.nbdclan.com you get that error posted above. Any help would be appreciated. I know the path is wrong. But nothing i have tried has worked.

Thanks in advance

mYvBindex is a rip off of this hack and others, I have nothing to do with it, i sugest that you ask in the hack authors thread.

well....then if you could point me to a portal system that isn't a rip off i'll use that one. Dosen't matter to me. I just want one that works. And this is the url to the support thread in the hack description.

As you can see from the thread title this isn't mYvBindex non are there any files in the zip called mYvBindex.php.

As for alternatives, do a search you'll find many.

tnx... figured it out.... it?s pretty nice now...

I got new pm?s under $poll and I added "last reply by" in home_right template..... tnx for all the help NTLDR

www.swespy.com

Better plan would be to use the original hack - not the ripoff that doesn't work ...

(just a suggestion LOL)

Great work NTLDR :D

I have this installed and have read through tons of pages but cannot find if this problem is solved or not.

I have private forums on my forum and an admin/mod room which is only for admin and mods of course and the other private forums is for a specific usergroup and admins and mods. On the latest threads......everyone can see the titles of the threads in the private forums.....big problem

I found a post that had some stuff but it didn't change anything

is there a fix for this?

please please....I need it bad

thanks in advance

well....I bet you are tired of seeing questions that are already answered huh...lol

I finally found a post that explained about the permissions being set rather than being inherited and that definately fixed my problem....

disregard my last post and thank you.

Hi again.... I think there is a problem with my vbindex, my users log in on vbindex and when they come in to the forum they arent loged in.. any suggestions ?

You need to set your cookie domain and path correctly, normally:

In the vBulletin Options in the ACP.

like .swespy.com ?

Thats it :)

tnx it works now....

i was wondering basically i want this hack but;

I want to be able to define different forums for it to present threads from, each forum having it's own page

so if i had a forum called news, that would be the index, then if i clicked on music i would get lets say the 5 newest threads from the forum called 'music' on a page of it's own and if i clicked sports i would get the 5 newest threads from the 'sports' forum.

**5 being an admin definable number

Please help me get back online!

I don't want the shout feature on my vbindex! The code already had this included, so I deleted it and now its fine!

Hey NTLDR-
This is the best hack I have installed and I want to thank you for your hard work and time you put forth not only in putting everything together (coding, instructions, revisions, etc.) but also providing such great support (90 pages of it even) for your hack for those who have problems.

I had no issues whatsoever during installation and it is running great and loads just as fast as any of the other pages on my site. Out of all the hacks on my board my members like this one the best...Thanks again!

/me installs

Thanks Huron, its good to know people are still installing the hack :)

hmmm I don't real like reading ALL of these posts...

so here is my question...

I'm trying to make it so that I can have a news forum AND a "Article" forum and have the article thing just like the news thing but on the main page too? is that possible?

(if you don't get what I mean... I just want 2 news things at the main page but one pointing to a different forum)

I have been really playing around with your layout to make it work for me, and, well, I torched the left column. I had what I wanted until I logged out and saw that I had moved some of the "logged in" content into templates that are displayed to both users and guests.

OOOPS. I really don't want to revert back to your original for the left family of templates, so maybe you can help me muddle through?

Left column:

$login has the stuff you should see if you need to login.
$logout has the stuff you should see if you are logged in.
$xxxlinks (not porn, just easy to spot) is a custom template that has some jump menus that should be displayed to all users.

Am I calling the in/out templates incorrectly? The xxxlinks is all that displays right now. I can even make that disappear if I mess with the order of the evaluate statements in the vbindex.php file.





Also, I tried to call in the avatar template to the login and logout templates, but nothing would ever display. Again, it is just my simple ignorance I'm afraid.

HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!

Look at how $logincode is assigned and that will show you how to do $login and $logout correctly.

I added "$logincode" into the left template and almost everything is displaying again. Why is that?

All that still doesn't work is the following code that I put into the logout template:


I tried calling the $avatar, but that didn't help.


Here's what is in the avatar template:

You need to look and see how its done and duplicate it, not add it again in the template.

Man, I am trying to understand... but I don't.

Some strange stuff is going on now.
I inserted some garbage "tracers" into the home_left to get to the bottom of it, and the following stuff:

yielded the following to a logged int user:

Is this normal? I expected the bbb and ccc to be above the home_logout content. Even more surprising to me was that I still got content when I removed the $login and $logout. Apparently, the $logincode actually displays either $login OR $logout. Right?
So, all I should have to do is get the dynamic avatar for the user and insert it into home_logout. I've scrounged around, but can't seem to get that part right. I did get the avatar to show up in the home_left template again, but for formatting reasons, I really need it inside the table that's in home_logout. What's the secret?


Sorry for the hassle. Officially above and beyond the call of duty.

$login and $logout IIRC don't even exist, hence they don't display anything.

I'm a little confused here, do you just want to include the avatar in the home_logout (and/or home_login) template?

For reference, home_logout shows the code for users who are logged in and home_login shows the code for users who are logged out.

I get this when i try to go to the index.php after installation.
