i dont see the articleid field but when i did the install it says it added it.

nyc, you still didnt answer to my question. i'm gonna ask one more time.
run the installer again and tell me if you get an error telling you the script is installed on your server.

if it doesnt, just proceed with the install, it will add the field.

yes i ran the installer once again on the new fresh vbb install i have on test server. and it didnt say it was installed. Now its installed and still not working.. and i reinstalled vbb 2.2.8 and then vbhome lite and still my article ids do not show up...

nyc, it's impossible not to add the articleid column if you ran the installer. do you have phpmyadmin? look in table thread and you will see the articleid listed right after pollid column.

if your articles dont show is because you didnt edit properly the newthread.php file.

if it's working for everyone, i dont see why it will not work for you.

okay

i don't have a site and i wanted to view the script but you said its password protected

i think its kinda pointless as ppl you give the pass can change the footer anytime

i think you should just remove the pass

but its your script so...

poeple who are decent will never remove the footer, only crooks and bastards who like to ripp anything and appropriate without prejudice someone else's hard work for their own usage.
you see, disturbed, people thinking like you make me wonder why do i offer this script for free to people to use it at their own discression. do you have any idea how i did it? that i spent time on it to code it and make a solid piece of code??
you have no idea. why do you need a script like mines with copyright?? make your own, who doesnt have any copyright on it, ok?

trust me, i know when crooks remove the copyright. as soon as they do it, i report them to vBulletin piracy. ofcourse those people will never be able to get a new version of my script, who changes once a week, with new goodies added that make it more useful.

let me ask you this, why do you leave the vBulletin copyright on your site? huh?? you tell me.
what difference makes for you not to leave my copyright the way it is now but leave the Jelsoft one? explain, i'm really curious.

you said right, is my script. there are several alternatives out there. unfortunatelly all use a large amount of queries.
they simply are not as fast, simple and efficient as it is my script.

as soon as i finish my forums i will move the file to a members area, same like vBulletin.

TECK dont let one voice upset ya, i know i appreciate the time and effort you have put into this as to many other user here. You have written some elite hacks that I know I could probably never do, keeping the copyright at the bottom of my board is a small price to pay for such a cool hack. Keep up the good work and thank you for all your support. :)

Let me know when its time to sign up! I love this script, Teck!

You need your own forum for this stuff.

BTW, I've finished setting up my vbLite homepage. We converted over from vbPortal because it was slow and was running too many queries.

Not too shabby if I don't say so myself ;)

I just have a little question, I want to add a banner to the sponsor section, which templete to add the banner in? also what is the directions? I am new to this, so might need instructions. Thanks!

TECK, I have just sent you a private message.

Can someone take a sec to answert this uber noob question :P

Which template/s do I need to modify to move certain things over to the right of my page i.e latest threads,sponsors etc etc

Its gonna be so simple I know,but I been looking through the templates and cant work out which or what I need to modify \o/ I rock<not>

If I were you, I would move the search box to your header, because your right column is otherwise unused.

Edit the template "home" and insert ABOVE the elements you want in a NEW column.

Good luck

Thanks TECK very nice hack, using it now :)

Satan

Why on earth would someone want two portals? :)

Thx for your help leechesss,still not quite got it :P its putting them in a column next to where they were now instead of to the right of the news :S I'll fix it through trial and error though I'm sure :]

uhh okay, i don't mind having your copyrights in the footer

its your script and your work and i totally respect that, chill out.
my post wasn't meant to offend you i was just telling you that password protecting the file won't stop ppl from removing your copyrights.

well you obviously took my post the wrong way

you took it as bashing

i'm saying it again, i'm not against you putting your copyrights in the footer.

yeah thats true and its one of my favorite scripts too

so just chill out and don't jump on everyone stating an opinion.

Arrgh!!! I am going nuts!!!

I want to install this hack SO BADLY, I have PM'ed the big guy with my information as to where the portal will be located I just need to wait for him to come home and get online so he can send me the password.

I don't know how much long I can take it... neeeeeed password, UGH!

:laugh:

The polls will be moved over there eventually, as well as some other stuff.

I'm getting nowhere fast :banana: I give in! hehe

Wij

guys, sorry about the delay, for the passwords.
my hard drive crashed yesterday and i lost all work related to my forums and the rest. i had to replace the HD completly, it was trashed. it's the second time it's happening to me with Maxtor.

damn damn damnnnnnnnnnnn.. all custom work is gone... :(
i just got online now.. and pm to everyone, who complies with the regulations, the password.

how many queries you have on vbIndex? 30-40?

I"m sorry to hear about ya drive TECK, I've had very good luck with IBM, but some disagree and I recently bought a WD thats been pretty good. :)

Mark

it runs so much faster... wow and very silent.. really happy with it :)

If this has been asked I'm sorry for bring it up again, but when i attach a picture to a post and my board is set to view pictures in the post, and that forum displays the article on the home page can i make the picture also display on the home page some how?

Mark

Yea, i have to say i actually like to do a fresh install from time to time Teck I love that new, fresh and fast feel of a fresh install.

Aww MAN!

Why me... I hate when I am the one who has problems installing the hack. What did I do wrong?

(edit: got issue that was listed here corrected)

And my forums: http://mentalmingle.com/forums/ has every image red X'ed out. As well at the main page: http://mentalmingle.com

Can anyone help? Please?
Thanks in advance,
Dan Smith

EDIT: Oh and is it just me, or was there no instructions for uploading files "vbhl34up.php" & "vbhlindex.php?" I did not see this anywhere.

i need the password

http://www.fiendworld.com

i already had it installed, actually was the first person to reply to this thread

Check step six close, I thought i had it right too and the same thing happen to me. :)

Thank you! :banana:

i dont recommend you to do it. it will add a query (actually a JOIN, same thing) and it will slowdown your page.. let the people see the full thread with pics, etc...
i could make a little icon for attachments if you guys want, that will let users know there is an attachment...

but now i'm still really pissed that i lost everything on my forums coding...

I am new to any type of web design what so ever. Can anyone tell me how I go about moving the various boxs seen on my main page, such as 'web site poll' & 'latest forum discussion?' I wish to arrange these where I want them.

Also how can I add additional fields?

I've seen mutiple sites in which other users have thier set up looking nice, when mine is so plain.

http://www.mentalmingle.com/

Thanks

every box is an actual variable called by a template.
for example, in "home" template, you will see $linkbits. all you have to do is place in any other location the $linkbits variable and it will show there. to change the way it looks, edit the templates, to suit your needs.

you should also ask more at vBulletin forums how to work with the templates, the vB team is there to give you support.
vbbHL is exacly like vBulletin. it feels and works the same.

cheers.

i'm gonna work tonite and release v3.5 tomorrow. is more of a maintenance release. it reduces again the queries by one and and ads another on/off switch, this time for smilies in poll.

i think i will also add a mini picture to let users know there is an attachment in the real thread. we will see...

Thank you...

If I may, I would like to ask one more question, then I promise to leave. I noticed my 'There have been threads and posts since your last visit!' option is not showing. When I sign on (I have tried mutiple user names) it shows me 'There have been threads and posts since your last visit!' like it has in the past, but there is no actual numbers displayed, letting me know what is new. Just simply 'There have been threads and posts since your last visit!' as you see it here.

I have the welcome hack installed too.

you messed the code. upload the original file and you will see it's working great all. :)
and there is no need to leave. you are welcome here.

Thanks for the quick replies...
I messed what code? Yours? Or the welcome hack?
Upload what original file?
