Hi Bouncer,

I have spent a week trying to figure this out! It doesnt mention in the instructions that you actually use the vBulletin CP to add and modify the templates. This is where i have been getting stuck! I have since loaded the templates via the CP and tried to submit the full url for the images but i cant locate the {imagefolder} via the CP?

glo, i promise i will help you step by step, you will get up and running your vbHome. i got your emails and i will answer your questions here.

now please check my quidelines on how to submit your problems. my hacks are made by points and steps so is easy for me (and you) to deal with a specific part at the time.

i'll be looking here in the thread. i dont answer to emails related to hacks support.

cheers,
floren.

ok glo, i'm looking on your email righe now and i answer to your highlited problems.
first of all, undo everything you did so far related to vbHL and start from a fresh copy. clear all your temporary files and redownload again the vbHL from here.

create the templates
1. in your vBulletin admin control panel, scroll down until you see Templates (is at the bottom on the left hand side).

2. click on Add.

3. enter there, one by one, the title and the contents of each template.

file index.php (your vbHL file)
1. open the file and make sure the chdir and is set like that:
chdir('/hsphere/local/home/glo-raci/glo-racing.com/forums');
require('./global.php');

2. save the file and place file in the [root] folder , in your case the folder above [high]/forums[/high]:
[glo-racing.com] < place the vBHL index.php file here, the folder should have the name /web or whatever
------[forums] < your forum folder

follow the rest of instructions included in the read me file.
DO NOT PERFORM AGAIN the Installer!!! you did it right??? ran the table modifications? and also the vBulletin file modifications?
so we only need to focus on the templates creation and making sure the vbHL index.php file have all the variables set correctly.

let me know.

Hi TECK,

I have added the templates, and the vBHl index.php is placed in the root directory ie www.glo-racing.com/index.php

I did perform the installer again but the installer already recognised the initial installation and gave me the opion to cancel!

I modifed the bbcode and standarderror files too!

I have corrected the smilies and the imagefolders, but i still get a BLANK PAGE!

So i still have a blank page. I have looked at the vBHl index.php file and it still uses the imagefolder code, should this have changed???

My News forum is set to 2. please see www.glo-racing.com/forums
And should i be changing all the $bburl/ to forums/ in the templates???

try this.. rename the index.php vbHL file to home.php then comment like this:
// chdir('...

so it doesnt look for the right folder anymore because it's already there.
then move the new file (home.php) to your /forum folder and let me know if it displays everything correctly. if it still doesnt, you didnt add the templates properly.

also make sure you modified properly the vBulletin files listed in the readmefirst.txt file.
one thing, dont forget to post at least once, after you did all this, orelse you will get a blank page.

if you give me a temp admin access to your admin cp, i could look into it and see if the templates are added properly. is up to you.
make a username and password and give to that username admin status.. then when is all check restore it to regular user.

pm me all the info.

Hi TECK,

I still get blank page, and the templates i entered but did not modify!

I have PM you the details!

Goodluck

ok. glo, i changed everything, the way it suppose to be. :)
we are back in business. now, where is the vbHL file? in /forum?
is named to what?

also did you edited the newthread.php file? and added the code is described in the readme file?

here it is what i'm gonna do. i'm gonna edit a fresh unhacked newthread.php file (for vb228) with the code the way it's supposed to be and send it in the pm. all you have to do is upload it to your server, ok?

ok glo, i send you in a pm the correctly modified file. just upload it.
then let me know when done. post here.

thanks.
