this sounds great, i need to watch this thread
i don't know enough about vbulletin to fix it if something goes wrong ha. i just started a site don't want to loose folks from down time ha

Eh ive spent close to about 10+ hrs of bug-fixing regex problems it shouldnt hurt your files, but always make backups before you ever attempt to modify anything.

If you get any parse errors, just re-run "Rebuild Hook Cache" and "Rebuild All Plugins" and it should clear any problems.

Ok about my shoutbox problem, it now appears to only display it when I set the shout box to "below navigation bar" and Rebuild All Plugins. Won't work when it's set to "Below Forums"

Strange

Can you check your index.php to verify that the system is replacing the hook locations with the needed php code, you should see my comment blocks surrounding the php code ie.

//[p:forumhome_start]
$testing = 'woot';
//[/p:forumhome_start]

Should be 3 or 4 different comment block hooks throughout index.php

ps. if possible, change the filename to index.txt and upload it as an attachment.

oooh about that, I have VBA CMPS installed and it's the index.php, the original VB index.php is renamed to forum.php. Is this causing the problems?

If so, any way to get around it?

(i don't see any comment blocks in the VBA CMPS index.php)

Try adding the forum.php to the includes/hook_files.php on its own line.

You have to remember, hook_files.php contains the locations to all of the files the Accelerator scans for hook locations; without that it doesnt know what and where to replace any plugin code.

Update that hook_files.php with forum.php and the Rebuild Hook Cache, Rebuild All Plugins.

Done that, doesn't seem to help

Though it is leaving your comment blocks in forum.php

This is a great concept Trigunflame, I would love to improve speed any way possible but this killed my board after running Rebuild Hooks + Plugins.

After running those I recieved this error on every page I tried loading


I ended up having to replace the php files with backups since I couldn't reload the page to try uninstalling it.

Hmm.. im trying to think what could be causing it to not show up, are you getting any sort of javascript errors? Or weird HTML when you view the page source?
