ok well i took the code from my 2.2.9

but i am getting
"Warning: main(./admin/config.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/site138/web/forums/global.php on line 129
"

Warning: main(.forums/admin/config.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/site138/web/forums/global.php on line 129

Need more help. I think i thought i fixed it because i was reading through the thread here but i tried to fix it one way but now im getting this.

NEED HELP PLEASE HELP ME :) lol

Yes. That's it. My avatar when I am logged in (linked to my change avatar action), and the Guest avatar when no one is logged in (linked to the register page).

I need this code to live in the home_login/logout template(s) in order to make the table borders work correctly.

Thanks.

PS. I actually saw Charmed on last night for a few minutes while I was visiting my Grandmother in an Alzeimer's unit. Thought it was a Brit thing, but apparently it on here, too. :classic:

can someone help me please?

I think NT is inactive for the moment cause i have been waiting 3 or 4 days lol.

Move:

Above:

It should then work in the home_login/out templates.

Its by far a US thing ;) I only started watching it recently myself :D

so does anyone have any idea's to my problem?

OK, I moved the welcome panel:
Then added the $avatarimage to the home_logout:

but still don't see the image! Oy! :dead:

None of the avatar code is making it to the client:

I have a feeling that I am soooo close, but I must be doing something really STOOOpid. :dead:

Need more help. I think i thought i fixed it because i was reading through the thread here but i tried to fix it one way but now im getting this.

Once again, great hack :D

I'm redesigning my site again and I'd like the left and right columns to extend to the bottom of the page, as far as the centre/news column goes. Is there a simple way of doing this? I know it's just a matter of reorganising the tables but there's so many :(

TIA,

G :bandit:

I have a problem. Sometimes when I call vbindex.php it says it can't include global.php, some other times it works just fine. Any ideas?

Okay I am very new at this kind of stuff. I see you have to get your permission to use this hack. I was wondering if you offered a service (don't mind paying), where you actually install this for me.

I have never installed a hack, although I believe this is what I am looking for.

I want to add hot topics or new posts to other areas of my web site.

As you can tell, I am more than a rookie at this. I can design my site and maintain it in dreamweaver, but I always seek help for install and harder stuff.

Thank you in advance

News is not showing up on the vbindex page.

Hello...

I have a problem like many others ... :cool:

I want that this New Vbulletin Portal
looks like this My old wbb Portal

Can someone tell me how i can do this??
And why i dont see anything in the news???

And i dont understand this part in the instuction (i am german) :



Still in vbindex.php find the section that has:

// start vBulletin original code
// -------------------------
// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 142 - 202(in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)
// -------------------------
// end vBulletin original code

and replace:



those lines with lines 142-202 (thats the numbers in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)

line 142 starts:

$activeusers = "";
$loggedinusers = "";
if ($displayloggedin) {

and 202 ends:

$totalonline=$numberregistered+$numberguest;
$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;

Excellent work, very nice job.

Only if you know how long I left //chdir {./forum} commented, lol. I finally realized, uncommented it and everything came together.

I felt so silly.

But now that it all works, its awesome. I just upgraded to your most recent version, I like the addition of the Shoutbox and what not. Very Very Nice. Excellent work man.

Thank you alot.

I to am having this problem, the NEWS is not being displayed, I see a $newstext, however I don't see that template.

I am curious why my news isn't being displayed, everything else works and shows up except for the NEWS TEXT itself.

Not sure if this should be asked in this thread or the shoutbox thread, But I will try here anyways. As shoutbox works fine.

My shoutbox hack works fine, as does the vbindex hack. But for some reason smilies wont show up in the vbindex pages shotbox. The url to the image smilies in the vbindex shotbox is not adding the forum dir to the url. Its useing

http://x.com/images/smilies/x.gif
apposed to
http://x.com/forum/images/smilies/x.gif

Where would I add the $bburl to fix this? Or do I fix it in some other way?

if i remember right, you should put the full url to each smilie in your admin cp in the smilies section instead of the relative url...

Here is something to ponder, when I put $username on the index page, it displays someone elses name. The names keep changing to different users, but it isn't my name.

what is the create way to call $username on the front page?

IT doesn't look like we are gonna get any feed back on this, I still can't see any news being displayed, and I am sure otehr people can't either.

Search back a ways. Lots of people have had the blank display issue and then were able to correct it.

NTLDR has been away for a while, but there is a LOT of useful info here. Your $username one is bizarre, though. I have never had any trouble with it.

I'm still trying to get past the 500 smart ass punk remarks, that if you read the thread you'd know, I did a search, "news not showing" so far i see people asking and the same response, its already been answer, go read the instructions.

LOL

As I have said many times before, I will not be answering questions twice, nor will I provide support for those who haven't read the thread.

Don't use $username, use $bbuserinfo[username]

Threads that are displayed on the latest threads etc, can't have permissions applied to them unless you either set each forums permission explicity or exclude them from the query, as I've provided instructions to do allready.

I've been trying to search out an answer to this question, and can't seem to find it in all ninety some-odd pages of this thread.

Hopefully someone can provide a quick answer...

What happens when the forums directory *is* the root directory of the website/domain?

ie.. if I rename myvbindex.php to index.php, what on earth happens to the list of forums that would otherwise be listed on index.php ?

(*edited to say: thanks in advance) :nervous:

1) I HAVBE READ THIS THREAD FOR THE PAST 2 HOUR and 4 times in the past 4 days.

2.) I FOLLOWED YOUR DIRECTIONS, I UPDATED COUNTERS

3.) I ADDED " AND visible=1 " Like I saw you tell people a dozen times.

4. ) I refollowed directions read more posts were you badger people and updated counters, checked IDs and still no NEWS

5.) $bbuserinfo[username] I solved that Monday on my own. Just recalled that I changed it when I installed new templates.

6.)USER GROUPS SMART ASS ARE SET TO FORUM DEFUALTS, COUNTERS UPDATED

7.) I WILL KEEP READING YOUR REPLIES TO PEOPLE. PERHAPPS I WILL FIGURE IT OUT ON MY OWN

DON'T SECOND GUESS ME, I've INSTALLED THIS HACK ON 3 FORUMS and UPDATED IT TWICE WITH NEVER A PROBLEM TILL NOW. Never had a problem in 2.2.7, 2.28, 2.2.9 until 2.3.0

And yes I updated counters

yikes...

It is late and I am on page 35.

I must say awsome hack. I am workin on it on my new site.

Incase it is not in here yet. I would like know about the random spell on your demo site what did you use or if I can get it.

you would have to rename this to something else, like forum.php.
you would have to edit a lot of templates then, mostly redirection templates as thos try to get you back on forums main page which was index.php before.
you might experience other problems i might not be aware of.

result: dont do that

you better keep it vbindex.php and put a .htaccess file in your root folder that tells a visitors browser that NOT index.php but vbindex.php is the file to go to first when the root url is called.
i dont have the syntax for it here but search the forums for htaccess & DirectoryIndex and you will find it.

Ok I have looked at every post in this thread... Interesting reading.

I like the hack alot unlike most this one makes about 60% sence to me :)

I started playing with lay out already but there is one thing I must have maybe some one can help.

phpportal had a quote of day or emphirid or something.

I would love to have something like that wich works with vbindex.

The demo site has something like it on that site.. either would be perfect thanks for help in advance.

hey buddy, got a quick question... not of vital importance, but seeing as i'm a nitpicker, i have to ask.

check out this screenshot. do you have any idea why mozilla would display your script like this? the symbols don't appear in the regular forum pages, but on the pages i made with your script, they often do.

any thoughts... it's not a problem in IE, but i'd still like it to work properly in Moz.

thanks.

Buddha, is that Moz on Win32 or on Linux? Aslo what is that character supposed to be?

Thats KuraFires quote hack.

Added to ignore list.

ntldr, it's win32... sorry, should have been more specific. v1.2.1

as for the character, the upper one is a french accent on the e... "cliche".

the bottom symbol are part of a bulleted list. what's odd is that it doesn't do this on all the pages, which is why i was wondering if you might know what part of the code determines this behavior... i can then check it more closely to see if there are differences (although there really shouldn't be... it was a straight copy with only a few minor changes made for the templates and the forum id's).

thanks bud.

oh, and btw, those bottom bullets are within a replacement string that is constant in all of my pages (which use your script), so it's not that which is the problem... it's something within the php file.

thanks.

I would imagine the error is due to the character set thats being used. Try using the HTML Entity for the letter you want and see if that works (Here's a list of them http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/ht...es/latin1.html).

So I would image your looking for é which is é.

thanks for the link... i found it strange that the same characters displayed properly in the forum, but not always in your script. especially the bullets... regardless, i'll just used the long code on this site.

very much appreciated, as always.
i'll be opening my site up to the general public shortly, and you are welcomed to use it as an example of what your script can do. i'm very grateful for the work you've done!

take care.

kreftt.... Thank you for the advice. I'm still beta testing this particular board, and I'll try that and a few other options as well.

What I'm undecided about however is to where I want the users to spend the majority of their time. Do I want them to constantly be re-directed back to myvbindex? Or do I want them to see the list of different forums I am offering?

The way I figure, once they see the news and gadgets on myvbindex once per day, they are pretty much done with it, and will want to get to the *meat* of the board.

I need to join a couple of boards using this hack and get a good feel for it.
