run the installer and select "upgrade"

i tried that.. i get this error.

Warning: Failed opening '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/forums/admin/install_vbpad.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in Unknown on line 0

SWEETNESS!!! installing this now!! :)

awesome job once again :)

Well, I must have done something wrong. Not getting any errors, but when I go into user cp and click on the myvBpad link all I get is a blank white page? Any idea where I might have screwed up along the way?

Nevermind! Doh! :rolleyes: Dummy here created a new template set rather than adding the new templates to the default.

Super Hack!

Great hack!

Just wondering if it can at all be made possible for the Admins to view members vBpad?

I wouldn't do that... but if you really want you can always check out the usernotepad table with phpMyAdmin.

first PMs, now notepads :rolleyes:

excellent hack cheers :)

Hack gets bad rating on my part, didn't work for me, heh. i got this error:

so, :(

This hack works perfect for me on 2.2.1.

Just follow the directions to a T.

I found this hack extremely easy to install.

Well I am glad you think so, but it wouldn't work for me, I don't know why that error just kept coming up, I wanted this to work but I guess it won't oh well, 1 hack i cant install :(

I've done quite a few hacks on our boards and initially had a problem with this one. Not saying it's the same for you but I found that, somehow, I'd missed a step. Even though I thought I'd gone over everything, still had made a mistake. With so many steps on the one page, I'd just skipped one. Once I corrected my error, the hack works great! Thanks!

Shenlong, you didn't run the queries you were told to run (CREATE TABLE and some more).

Just installed it with no problems.... I have a question though... Is it possible to have admins and moderators to have a different ammount of characters than members? I want my mods and admins to have a 2000 character limit.

That is a good idea!

I was looking through the code in the installscript, and I saw something that made me wonder a bit, namely:
For actions like this wouldn't it be wiser to do something like this:
That way you should (in theory) be sure that you don't try to use some settinggroupid that is already in use.

Sure, it might be easy to edit the install file if this happens, but isn't my way much cleaner (again, in theory)? :)

...only now realising that you don't actually run the queries from your code *tired* :)

But my way would work pretty well, I think :p

I just installed this hack on 2.2.2 .. This hack was a brilliant idea in my opinion. Only thing i ran into during the install was in /root/members2.php where it tells you

Find this code:

$cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}";

Replace it with this code:
(3 times)

$cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[8]="{secondaltcolor}";

I only found it twice so I only made 2 of the changes. I had it installed on 2.2.1 and its working just as well now as then. Colors are alternating right and everything. My personal rating on this hack is a 10!

I hate this hack. :(

So this does not run on 2.2.1 only 2.0.3?

It runs on both 2.2.1 and 2.2.2..

Why?

Probably because of all the problems which has come with it!

Awww, FireFly! Don't hate this hack - it's really good! Just maybe a bit confusing. I have it working great on v2.2.1

Me too.

Works great.

I hope it is incorporated in 3.0

Okay, I followed the install instructions to a "T" through all of the steps on my v2.2.1 board (upgrading to 2.2.2 soon), and I'm getting the same error that others have gotten:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_nopermission() in /home/virtual/site15/fst/var/www/html/xfan/forums/member2.php on line 577

The My vBpad link in the User CP of my board links to

http://x-mencomics.com/xfan/forums/m...action=notepad

So what could the problem be? For a news/articles heavy board like mine, this hack would be a dream come true. Someone please help!

i dont know how i did it.. but i got the stupid thing to work!

X-Fan - You need to make the changes to member2.php and upload it as well. :)

This hack, is by far one of the dumbest, densest, stupidest, useless, pointless hack I ever wrote... I wouldn't install it for anything. Nor use it. I thought it would be a good idea but I soon understood it's worthless.
But, if you guys like it then my goal have been accomplished. :pleased:

just want to say thanks for an excellent hack firefly. Its excellent!

I swear I did that, as I'm very meticulous when it comes to installing hacks, but it looks like I missed a step as it's working now. Thanks FireFly (and my apologies for the oversight)!

Believe me, it is a very useful hack for such a news/articles focus heavy site such as mine. Thanks for your time and effort!!!

I added this hack,but somehow vbpad doesn't appear in the usercp.
Can anybody tell me what I did wrong.

I'm running 2.2.0 and haven't upgraded yet.

Anyone know if this hack works with vb2.2.2 ?

Yes, it does.

I ran the installer but nothing happened. Vbpad doesnt show up. And I dont see any changes in the database either.

Hi

I Uploaded the file and ran it, the installation went through pretty smoothly but I dont see any options for it in the admin control panel. I am running V2.2.2, Is there anything I am missing or need to do?

help!!!!

I'd love to see a "Save post to Vbpad" button in new reply/new thread... its very useful if you don't have time to finish the post, and wanna finish it later.

Also a "Load note from vbPad" would rock :) Anyone can help me with that?

Sorry if this has been asked or explained already, but im a bit new to the code munching...

I installed the script, got no errors, completed the install...

but no changes appear in my 'user cp' area.

What should I look into changing?

Did you make all changes to the files? The installer doesn't do that by itself.

I just recently found this problem with mine, when ever I go to edit password, or edit options... my vbpad goes black, does anyone know what could be happening? look at this....
