If you are sure, you cant do it and it is important to you, I can check when I have a free time if you let me know FTP access, phpmyadmin access and vb admin cp access.

Hi Logician... I've tried to get the SEO'd URL working and get a 'Page Not Found' error when trying to access the pages. I've entered the rewrite info into my htaccess file within my forum root directory and then checked the appropriate block in options.

It says something about apache server in the instructions, not sure if this is the problem or not, but I do have the following in my cpanel:

I don't understand how the handlers work or even what extension to place in field... or if this will even get me where I need to be.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thx
I will create some accounts for you, I'll pm you the info when done

Great mod!

I only need one thing though. Is there a way to remove the currently active users part at top of the screen on pages generated by webtemplates?

Thanks!

Make sure you .htaccess looks like this

if this is your only .htaccess or if forum is in the root directory
you might want to write it like this

OK, sorry to be a s00per n00b but hey, we all start somewhere. I am running a vb board http://www.davetyner.com/forum and downloaded the Webtemplate hack. I am trying to add a theme but keep getting this error when I try and create it "You forgot to add $includedtemplate variable into template! This variable marks the location where webtemplates that is using this theme will be inserted so a theme without this variable is pointless to have!"

I read all the documentation and is there a step by step on creating and then implementing a basic theme? Thanks!

.htaccess is in /public_html/forums/

A theme = a webtemplate that can host other "webtemplates" in.

So if you are trying to create a stand-alone page, you should NOT create a theme, you should create a regular webtemplate.

If you want to create a general design in which you will display other webtemplates in, then you should create a theme.

Since themes will display "other webtemplates" inside, you should point in which section of the theme you are going to insert your other webtemplates while creating themes. You do it by using "$includedtemplate" variable somewhere inside your theme. You get the error message because you attempt to create a theme but use this variable nowhere inside it (which is pointless as the error tells). So you must put $includedtemplate inside your theme to avoid the error.

I think your vbseo redirection is clashing with webtemplates redirection. I don't use that product so I can't advise how to solve the clash but maybe it can work if you put wt redirection lines before vbseo lines in your .htaccess.

I've still got a few bugs to work out but I have it on a test site working like that now.
