TECK 10-25-2002 06:35 AM
true, i forgot about this aspect. in my mind everyone have 228. :) ty danny.

Anitah 10-25-2002 07:57 AM
I just upgraded to 2.2.6. Is this considered an older version?

LeeCHeSSS 10-25-2002 08:57 AM
yes, if you wait for another week or so, then 2.2.9 will most likely be out.

X-Fan 10-25-2002 09:54 AM
Oh great, I've just spent the better part of a week getting my forums back up to scratch after upgrading to 2.2.8, and now 2.2.9 is coming out in a week or so?

Sigh... there must be an easier way for those of us with heavily hacked boards to upgrade without having to reapply every single hack.

LeeCHeSSS 10-25-2002 01:44 PM
yes there is: Araxis Merge or Beyond Compare...

X-Fan 10-25-2002 01:56 PM
Oy vey... don't you start on those two. As I've said many times before whenever someone suggests those two programs, I've tried both and it's always resulted in more errors than they're worth. So thanks but no thanks.

It would be far, far easier if the makers of vBulletin released a manual list of changes to registered owners of the software.

WoodiE 10-25-2002 03:46 PM
If i upgrade to the newest version will I lose all my mods/hacks?

-WoodiE

X-Fan 10-25-2002 03:57 PM
You'll lose any changes you've made to the files, yes. Templates and database tables should stay intact, but you'll have to reapply file changes for every hack you've got installed.

WoodiE 10-25-2002 04:04 PM
oh man, im gonna cry.

Asso 10-25-2002 04:10 PM
TECK i need the password but i can't find thread-request :(

WoodiE 10-25-2002 05:05 PM
OHH YES, after upgrading to 2.2.8 and reinstalling vbHome it works just fine. Now all i need to do is find out how to edit the header to match the rest of the site.

So far so good. I love you TECH! :D

I've done 2 major updates (2.0.3 to 2.2.4 and 2.2.4 to 2.2.8) with Beyond Compare, and it worked like a charm...

WoodiE 10-25-2002 05:37 PM
One last question, I have 2 private forums for the mods and admins only. How do I make sure that the posts and threads from there do NOT show up on the recent threads on the home page?

Hey Teck congradulations, vbhome is in The Top 10 vBulletin Hacks

Teck has a very cool solution to this problem. Thanks Teck.

Quick question regarding the Latest Forum Discussions list on vBHome with the multinews forums add-on installed.

Basically, as my site is primarily a news site, I'm wanting those articles that aren't currently featured on the front page to be listed in the Latest Discussions list if they have recent replies.

How is it possible to enable that?

It still involves using Araxis Merge, which I've had result in nothing but errors before (just like Beyond Compare).

Plus, it's new software that requires purchasing after the evaluation runs out, and there was no stipulation when I signed up for vBulletin that extra software would be required to successfully upgrade my forums. That, and I can't afford any more software purchases.

I still think the makers of vBulletin should provide an easy, no hassle, and free method of upgrading heavily hacked forums. Why provide hacks for a message board if it's a pain in the ass to have to re-apply them all with every upgrade?

Anitah 10-26-2002 04:42 AM
It would have helped to know this hack would only work with 2.2.8. before spending a week trying to get it to work with 2.2.6

I upgraded to 2.2.6 four weeks ago. Now we're up to 2.2.9? Does this mean it's pointless to upgrade to 2.2.8? I can't keep up with all these upgrades.

Smoothie 10-26-2002 05:19 AM
Not true. Running 2.2.7 and vbHL works just dandy.

WoodiE 10-26-2002 01:52 PM
Does anyone know how to make private forums NOT show in the Latest Forum Discussions box?

Also is it possible to have a text link at the top left in the welcome box that says "New posts Since you last visit" then shows them all the new posts after they click on it?

Sure, just set it as an HREF link and point it to "{yourforumsdirectory}/search.php?s=&action=getnew"

WoodiE 10-26-2002 02:21 PM
I'm retarded, as soon as I posted that I realized what I had to do. :\ Thanks X-Fan for the response.

the hacks are not supported by vBulletin. they provide an easy upgrade if you dont have your forums hacked. :)

nokia explains how in this thread few pages before. simply set all your forum perms properly.

nokia8860 10-26-2002 07:48 PM
To prevent your private area forums from showing on the vbhl homepage make sure you select "use custom setting" on each group in your private forum and category. All groups should be RED by the time you are done.

WoodiE 10-26-2002 07:54 PM
My forum was already set as mentioned above, and the private forums were still displayed...

Until I logged out!

TECK - Thanks for such an awesome script. I LOVE IT. I paid for firefly's home page script and dont like it as much as this one! GREAT job man!

But what about 2.2.6? Can someone tell me if they got it to work in 2.2.6? I sure would love to avoid having to do another upgrade at this time.

Smoothie, you seem to know your stuff, maybe you can help me?

I was trying to uninstall, start with a new slate, or prepare to upgrade to 2.2.8, but I get this error:

Droping the fields and removing script elements Removing from table thread the articleid field... Done.
Removing the thread table the articleid index... Done.

Lower down it says:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.6:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE thread DROP INDEX articleid
mysql error: Can't DROP 'articleid'. Check that column/key exists

mysql error number: 1091

Date: Saturday 26th of October 2002 04:40:07 AM
Script: http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum/ad...php?s=&step=11
Referer: http://www.mysite.com/forum/admin/vb...php?s=&step=10

(btw, I've removed all the files and reverted the templates to original).

I really just want to complete the uninstall and start new, but I'm stuck on this error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NTLDR 10-26-2002 09:05 PM
Anitah that error means you are trying to remove something that doesn't exisit ;) Its trying to remove the articleid column from the DB when its not there.

Anitah 10-26-2002 09:56 PM
NTLDR. Thanks, I realize that. It probably never installed properly. But the question remains, what do I do about it? How do I bypass this error to complete the uninstall process? Can I delete the tables manually in phpMyadmin? They're imbedded on the database where I can see them, unless someone can tell me specifically where to look?

NTLDR 10-26-2002 10:01 PM
Find this code in the install script and remove it:

PHP Code:
    $query[] = "ALTER TABLE thread DROP articleid";
    $explain[] = "Removing from table <i>thread</i> the <font color='#FF3300'>articleid</font> field... Done.";

    $query[] = "ALTER TABLE thread DROP INDEX articleid";
    $explain[] = "Removing the <b>thread</b> table the <font color='#FF3300'>articleid</font> index... Done."; 

Smoothie 10-26-2002 10:01 PM
Whats left to un-install?

Ok, I'm gonna try that. Thanks :)

Smoothie 10-26-2002 10:26 PM
Wouldn't it be easier to just remove manually via phpMyAdmin?

TECK 10-26-2002 10:32 PM
Anitah, do not remove nothing from the uninstall script. simply press refresh, when you get the error, it will bypass it.
after that, go to /admin/setting.php and look there at the bottom to see if the vbHome group is still there. if it is, simply remove it, the way i told earlier in this thread to someone else:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...503#post313503

NTLDR, do not tell to users to remove nothing from the installer script. thanks.
the script is designed to bypass automatically certain steps if there are probs.

TECK 10-26-2002 11:39 PM
i added a link to the uninstall procedure in the first post.

Anitah 10-26-2002 11:44 PM
Ok.

Anitah 10-26-2002 11:57 PM
TECK, that worked. Thanks.

I just want to know one more thing. Before I go to all the trouble of upgrading to 228, is it possible that this could work with 226? I don't know if the older version was really the problem with the installation. If it was I'll upgrade, but if not I would sure like to be able to avoid that hassle right now.

What do you say Tech?

BeatDown 10-27-2002 02:07 AM
Teck, or one of the other smart people here.... :ermm:

Is it possible to ensure users do not see polls from forums they do not have access to view?

Currently, if I post a poll in a Private Forum, any user that visits my site's home page will see that poll in vbHome (Lite). They are not allowed to participate in the poll (vB takes care of that), but I'd like for them to not even see the poll.

I've made each of my Private Categories/Boards permissions for every user group "Custom", so they all show "red" in vB Admin. This does a great job at preventing the private posts from showing up to non-private members.

Thanks in advance for any help.

you find it as trouble upgrading to 228 and preventing hackers to take over your board? is up to you.

BeatDown, the best way to solve your problem is to follow the tip i gave into the readmefirst file.
did you take the time to read it?
