you have to hack the index.php file the same way you hack your /forum/index.php one.
be more specific. what hack (the name) you installed on your forum homepage? and you want it added to your main page?

I'm using the Pluhnews hack. It's just a new php file with normal html/php stuff, but the news sections are using a tweaked version of pluhnews. Other than that, there isn't a whole lot that is special about the page.

The hack that I wanted to work on the front page was a hack that shows out many new threads had been created since your last visit, however I am going to need it to work a little differently. Instead of show the number since your last visit, I need it to show the number of threads created in a specific forum for that day. So it would just show a number and that number would represent the number of threads that have been created in that forum for the day.

The hack that I have right now doesn't do that so I was also wondering if you knew how to do this? Or if not, I will request it, since it's probably pretty simple.

for the latest threads, place this code:below:then call the 2 variables in your [high]home[/high] template.open a thread in Requests area.

I'm so confused it's not even funny. :( I know you don't want anyone to ask you stuff on msn nakkid but can I please I.m. you? it would be a ton easier just to ask you things in real chat then through posts. here is my handle : tau4ever@hotmail.com I'm gonna be waiting :)

i will help you here Xelation. ;)
please ask your questions in the thread.

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/xelation/public_html/home/index.php on line 19

I get this problem right now, I fixed some of my other problems.

this is the chdir("path/to/forum");
it's changing the folder so it can find global.php (needed for vbHome).

in your case it should look like:or whereever your forum folder is located.

ok, thats fixed... now I get this error...

Parse error: parse error in /home/xelation/public_html/home/index.php on line 20

that is your global file right? post the exact code as you have it there... line 19 and 20

lol, I'm dumb ;)

i assume you fix it. ;)
if you have any other problems, post them here.

Yup, thanks! ;)

may be a stupid question.... how can I tell what my forum id is? for this part

NOTE: Don't forget to set the $newsforum variable in index.php to the
| right value. For example, if your NEWS forum have the ID 38, your
| variable should look like:
|
| $newsforum=38;
|

?

]go to your forum, move mouse over link and look at the status bar ;)

thx, I appreciate it! I know I'm stupid, but I have to learn somewhere. :)

If ya know that pass, then come on in. ^_^'


;)

I have to, you wouldn't believe how many people try to access that url... I don't want anyone to see my forum before I release it. ;)

]well... I understand why... ;)
but... maybe a lil screenshot for little helping wooolFie? :D

nothing much to see, basically a normal vb when you install it, I'm working on adding all the things you wont see right now such as extra admin options and other useful things you can see with the eye. I'm also working on getting my vbhome to work at full capability.

I need a lil help here... ok, I want to add the pm info on the right side of the forum, sorta like how wooolF[RM] has his... my problem is I dont know where to begin, I read your instructions on how to add it in the install info file. but I could not get it to work, I would just need to see how to do this once and I can hopefully add everything else afterwards.

Add PM info to your vbHome page

1. In forum/index.php, find the code segment:Copy that code into the vB marked area, in your home/index.php file.

2. Replace this code:With::Create a new template (home_pmloggedin) and copy into it the forumhome_pmloggedin contents (edited to match your homepage).

Let me know if that helped you.

There was a little bug when displaying the html code in the news.

home/index.php
Find this code:Replace it with:Thanks to Gimp and FireFly for helping on this. ;)

]grrrrrrr... hate to fix bugz... :p ;) thanx for telling us :D

ok, thx... I'll try it when I come home today ;)

I am an admin of a forum this was already existing. They did it with php3. Can i still use this? I have tried with no luck. I get this error.

Parse error: parse error in /usr/sites/www.dssworld.tv/www/pages/test/index.php on line 20

I did modify index.php to look for global.php3 instead. What else could it be.

Thanks,
Netman

i never test it in php3. so i cannot give you an exact answer.
also make sure to put in there the right path, in chdir.

I did the member2.php3 trick and copied the ulr so I know it is correct. I would really like to get this working. I dont think they will let me redo the board and start over with php.

Netman

This would sure be nice to have for php3.

Netman

what VB version you have? can you post the url?
i see that your site is all built in .asp

I am running 224

Netman

i'm glad you got it fixed.
just for some other users who might run into the same problem.

follow closely the instructions included in install.php. please let me know if you have any other problems.

is funny. the post #158 should be right after 161. how did end up there???

Its weid though. My scrollbars are the same color as my forum and also the links are not the same color.

i dont want to be "picky" but xelation had the exact problem. ;)
can you make me a favour and post line 19-20 here? thanks.

///////////////////////////////////

chdir /usr/sites/www.dssworld.tv/www/pages/forums");
require("./global.php3");

I found my problem. I deleted the (" right before the chdir.

I dont have the error any longer. I now get just a blank page. I have to finish the instruction and modify the paths for the images. Exactly waht files do i need to modify with the url.

Thanks,
Netman
