hypedave, still cant beat the 14 queries. :)

pm sent mr_p. thanks for installing my script.

hi teck, I haven't gotten an update email :( Guess you should try to send it again. I would really love to install the script but when I updated to 2.2.8. my vb my mysql database got screwed, got to wait till tomorrow for the server admin to put the backups back on ;) Again, great work and as soon as it is installed I will give you suggestions (if needed) for more features.

Teck: hows the website commin?

gonna install 3.5 now.. lets see if i can get this one right and not mess it up

Hi Tech,

I would like to receive the password for unzipping VBHome Lite 3.5 as you require in your post.

Thank you,

Look at me.. Look at me.. i made the 100th post!

can i get my cookie now please

pm sent.

hmm where is everyone? withe usual feedback from 3.5? you guys got the email update?

and also.. did you noticed that if you place your mouse over the poll bars, it will show you the stats there, one you voted?? ;)

Whoa...am I behind or what? I had no idea this hack was still being updated! My homepage is still running the original version of vBhome Lite, with a pathetic 35 queries :p

is down to 12 now velo... :D

Yeah, you did a great job of it Teck from some of the members websites I've visited who are running it. Although I've hacked mine up quite a bit, so I'm not too eager to decompile it all and update the portal. Maybe when vBulletin3 rolls along. ;)

Got the email update. Installed, works great, less filling. ;)

smoothie, i want you to do something for me...
enable debug on your site and do an ?explain=1 on vbHL page. then pm me all the queries listed there, one by one, ok?

or even easier, once displayed the explained page, save it as .htm page, zip it and attach it in a pm to me. i want to look into something... thanks.

Ok, gotta get some food first. I'm starvin. Be back with that info

np. i will look into it tomorrow morning.. going to sleep now. take care all, vbHomers... :)

leechesss, you posted a hack for the poll once to have colored bars... you want to post it again please? so i can link it to the first page? ;)

i was to lazy to use it the same way like vBulletin, but it will your first hack for vbHL, as well as the 2-3 others you posted... post an individual post for each hack, or attach a password protected file for each hack with the usual member password.

sorry, i completly forgot about it. cheers.

Ehm, you want me to repost it? It's gotta be around page number 60 and 85 somewhere... :)

And can I simply replace the 3.4 index.php with the 3.5 index.php or are there more changes?

EDIT: I checked and of the 4 modifications I posted, only 2 remain useful (the others are included in the default vbHome zip-file now):

And:

If you want me to put this in password protected zips, say so and I'll delete the old posts.

Can someone tell me what to put in the advertisment template in order to show up a banner?

Upload the index.php and printarticle.php. Run the vbhl35up.php.

Thanks for the help LeeCHeSSS:)

I'll be installing 3.5 to night Teck's. Thanks man. Oh and I didnt get a email either. Nor do i always get a email when someone replies here, only sometimes. :(

Mark

there is a minor typo i made in the file.. redownload the file.. and make sure you clean your browser cache before.
then, upload the index.php file only.

No email update for me either.

i dont know why is not owrking for all members. some of you receive it some dont. the solution will be when i open my forums... i will have there an announcements forum. all you have to do is subscribe to the forum and you will receive updates for sure...

sorry guys. soon. in about 2-3 weeks. i'm restoring my code now since the HD crash.

I have a few requests for hacks or news features (if Teck will add them).

At first it would be cool to have a daily devider thing, as you can see on my site, www.cscentral.com. There is a devider after ever day telling you what day the newsposts have been made, then the newspost just has the time it was posted, not again the day, I think the news look a lot better that way.
Another request, you should be able to choose for each newspost individually what should be shown in the post and what will be show after you hit read more. I mean that you have one field for the newspost when posting news and one field for the read more part. If you leave the read more part empty there wont be a read more link, if there is something written in it then there will be one. I think that would be a good addition and doesnt cost another query, does it? (I know you are picky about them teck ;).

Please let me know what you think,

Thanks,
Sebastian

seby, the first part is an archive thinghie, and i like the idea. i will make a separate file where it will list the thread titles, by day.

second idea, it will be never done. your forgetting the important thing: you post in vBulletin, not in a news script like you have in your site.
in other words, to make it the way you want you will hack a ton of files in vBulletin. none of the vbHome users will like this idea.

there is an option for you, check the first post for the commercial version of this script. those options are included there.

Addon Request
I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but if Teck or someone would like to help me, or maybe just do it for me that would be great ;)

What'd I'd like to do is when you move our mouse over the Latest Topics section, it will display the ALT tag and show the full subject of the topic.

Example: "Download my late..." is displayed because you have it set to cut off at a point, but when you move your mouse over the link it would show "Download my latest version of vbHome (lite)!" in the yellow ALT tag thingy.

Can this be done? I don't think it'd be very hard and I don't think it'd add any queries to the page. Could be wrong though.

BTW, nice work with 3.5. Is it easy to upgrade if im running 3.3 right now?

Edit: I got this to work, see post below!

Humm, well, I underestimated myself, and I got it to work.

Open index.php
Find the line that says $thread[title] = unhtmlspecialchars($thread[title]);

Below it add $thread[titlealt] = $thread[title];

Then open the home_threadbits template and add title="$thread[titlealt]" to your link.

It'll look something like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

It didn't seem to add a query. Teck, let me know if there is an easier way to do this, or any problems by doing it this way. I think this is about as simple as it gets ;)

yep, you are correct. another hack to be added to the first post. :)

w00t!

TECK, check PlurPlanet's new "hack" in the Full Releases forum (seems more like a bunch of hacks packed together). He blatantly uses parts of both vbIndex and vbHome without giving due credit.

I sent TECK a PM about that hack. I guess the code he used for the latest thraeds and news was ripped from vBhome without permission. Along with chunks of origional code he isn't allowed to post and a load of other hacks he probably doesn't have the right to include in there.

Heres the link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=44691

well guys, i really dont care anymore.
when i released vbHome for the first time, people thought.. wow is cool.. but hey, wait.. i will ripp some other hacks toghether and release "a better" version then TECK's.. hihi, i will show off my ripping skills...

let them be happy. people who want a serious piece of code will always choose vbHome (lite).

ahh i forgot, plur's hack, have in the installer the record number of
37,906 queries, that's thirty-eight thousands!!!!
not that is bad... but is the first time i see a such large number of queries performed in one shot. :)

marsh, i will post your hack with a minor change ok?
to have it done properly...

marsh, i added the link to first post and made the right corrections. i want you guys in the feature to make a zip file, encrypted with the member password, if it shows a larger code change, not like the one above.

is the best way for now to protect the code copyright. thanks.

hey teck, this VirtuaNews script is really great, thanks for the hint, pretty expensive though :(

well you wanted a pro version. other similar scripts that do less then that charge 800$ for it.
btw, vBulletin is more expensive then VirtuaNews, so i dont see why you call it expensive?

smoothie, it looks that my tips to optimise your global.php, help you fix the problem you had with the extra queries performed.
you are back to 16queries now while logged in... it looks solid.

congrats. :)

Teck-

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)

nice hack..... why all the password and stuff???? I can understand keeping the code in licensed party hands... but I jsut wanted to try it out on my test board... but I cant do that cause thats not my licensed board?!!?

ol well... nice work anyways
