Wonder where the hackers are.
All 3 portals have never been successful. :cry:

ok
do you know when about it will be out ???

Thx for this portal, i may install it :)

i have never had a singel problem using this hack. did you make sure you preformed the file edits adn your running vb 2.2.X or 2.3.0?


you should always backup files and the database, before you start anyhacks

not speaking for tigga, but probally when vb3 is rc/gold

as that is when vb3 coding will be final

I have just one problem...
I added a News Forum on my website, and went to www.mywebsite.com/vb/admin/myvb_install.php and ran the install script to re-index my News Forum ID.. well after I go back to the admincp and double check the Forumid number.. and its correct, I dont get anythin on the home page... like in this example www.liquid-area.com/vbindex.php

Any Ideas will be appricated.
Thanks

well i cant help at all due to the fact you didnt give the right address to the script. i just get a 404 page

I am in the process of converting a site that was based on phpBB to vB. The forums are moved, but I need to redo my portal pages. This script looks like a possibility, but I need to verify if it can do the things I need.

* multiple portal pages for a single vB installation (example, a car website might have a main portal page for its home, but then have a Ford page, a Chevy page, etc... )
* selecting more than one news forum for news on one page (this merges the news from the forums selected into one date sorted stream for the news on that page - example, the Ford page might have taurus, mustang, and explorer news forums included in Ford news.
* list of most popular threads in a forum
* list of most recently added threads in a forum
* list of most recently update threads in a forum
* ability to do multiple lists of news headlines per page.

What I need to do is currently in action at http://pdaphonehome.com/phpBB2/i700faq.php and http://pdaphonehome.com

Would this hack be a good base for me to recreate these pages? I don't mind making changes to it to get what I need, I just need a solid foundation.

i need help my latest threads are showing that the last poster is the thread starter. How to I correct this and make it show the username for the user posting last in that thread?

Jensie180,

OK, what exactly do I do here? Would I install myvbindex, and then do this hack, or is it something totally separate? I thought that myvbindex used the database for templates from what I read of the install instructions. So how does this separate them? I'm new to vb, so I wouldn't mind having files for templates. It would actually be the easiest way for me to get this going since I have files for templates with the existing pages.

I want to apologize for my mini hack post earlier. I didn't know I couldn't post mini hacks to it, sorry Tigga! mccollin, after testing that mini hack a little bit more I found out that it didn't work. I'm still working on it though!

you always need to ask/get permission to modify a hackers code :)


well and release it that is

Yeah, now I know, again sorry!

Now, on a different subject. The newest threads thing is showing the newest threads in my private forums too! How can I stop this?

try loggin out and checking, as from whqat i understood its based on premissions you shouldnt see them when you log out

Yeah I forgot to add that, I logged out and still saw the topic as a guest. I edited each forum with the permissions that they can't view the forums and all but that didn't work.

[Edit] Never mind, I had to login in the admin cp to change the permissions and I was still logged in when I checked if it was ok. Now I logged out and the topic didn't show :)

take a look at that post

I installed the hack but later o nI decided I wanted to change the templates, but in my template list there are no myvbindex templates to be found!

What do I do?

Never mind.

:D you found em i take it

I am trying to modify the Latest Forum Topics block on mYvBindex page... I'd like to add another variable to WHERE clause, but no matter how I change it, i do not see any changes. ok. here is the original code:

I'd like to say this:

i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. nothing changes on the display... please help. i'm starting to feel retarded :confused:

uhh just looking at your code i dont think you are doing it right, but i wouldnt know what the right coding is

You'll need to add that code to the forum permissions section (above the poll). The forum permissions are included in the threads query, so it's telling it to look in that forum, and also not to look in that forum. Apparently the first one overrides the second. Either way though if you add it in the forum permissions instead it will work. :)

sweet!!! thanks so much~ i played around with it a little more, and all i had to do was specify the permissions in the admin section of the forum. duh!

thanks for the help though! i'll know another solution next time!

Can You write a script for Headline view (archive of news)?
Thanks!

I'll try install into vb3 :)

Guz2003 - I may add something like this to the vB3 version, but no new options will be added to the current vB2 version here.

Gohan - Do you mean you're going to try to use this with vB3? If so, it would take a LOT of work to get everything converted.

I notice the portal page takes a while to load alot of the times, here are my stats
vBulletin, Copyright ©2000 - 2002, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited

Is 26 queries high?
Mysql seems good
Could the weather feature cause it to slooooow down?

When I am already on the page and I reload it this is what I get

Other than this problem I am experiencing the is a great hack Tigga

Thanks
GoatBoy

yes, the weather feature grabs info from another website, if you disable it the page load time decerease

Thanks for the input, I turned the weather off now it loads superfast.

GB

it pulls from msn.com and depending on their load is how fast the user gets their weather info

Tigga - If you can, please make it. Thanks a lot.

Hey Tigga,
I'm not sure why it did it again, but a registered user replyed to a news thread and her post replaced the first...
I didn't upgrade anything.
What do you think I shoud try?
Thanks :o

All of a sudden myvbindex has started running really slowly. Sometimes it runs fast, but at other times it goes really slow and hangs.

Ive checked the processor usage aswell, it rockets up when this happens

Any ideas on whts going on???

Littlebit - Can you email me your myvbindex.php file (bgunter@project8.com) so I can have a look?

Cloud Strife - Do you have the weather turned on? If so that's most likely the problem. If not please post here or PM me with a link to your site.

Tigga, I just emailed you it. Thanks again

Cloud, the weather was doing it to me too...as soon as I turned it off in the CP, the page loaded fine again.

tigga, check your pms soon,

I am using myvbindex on my site, but I don't know how to get the "Forums" to display when using this. I know this is a stupid question, but I am a little stupid :)

I would simply like the myvbindex page to display when you click on "HOME", and the "FORUMS" listing to display when you click on the "FORUM" button.

I have tried different settings, etc, but I can't figure it out.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

THANKS!

Does this work with VB3 beta 5?

Hi, I have just used the hack. I had problem with the font color of the category. How can I change the color or categoryfontcolor to tableheadtextcolor. I am not sure which templates should I change. Please check it at http://www.asianguild.com The font color right now is black almost the same as the background color. I would like to change to white color to every of the categoryfontcolor.

I also add the attachment add on for this hack so that when the post got attachment, it would be displayed in the homepage. But, the problem is when the post does not have attachment and the homepage would also show blank image. How can I get rid of this blank image?
