Yeah I know, that's what I did, I went all the way thinking that there shouldn't be any text anyways. But alas, no vBIndex templates or phrases (although all steps before step 7, I believe, imported correctly.)

There is only one real difference with how the steps are done in vbiupgraded.php so its worth a shot, find and replace all instances of (in vbiupgraded.php and re-run vbiupgraded.php?step=7):

IMPORT_TEMPLATES_STEP with 7
IMGDIR_EDIT_STEP with 8
REBUILD_STYLES_STEP with 9
IMPORT_PHRASES_STEP with 10
FINAL_STEP with 11

Thats all I can think of right now, although I will investigate further.

What exactly do you mean 'a simple template mod'? I would like to add this feature in one of the custom side blocks in Vbindex, but the instructions are written for a different setup.
I know it's not your hack, but if you have some experience installing this I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Chas.

Thanks problem solved :)
I guess there are still some bugs to fix in the installer, but I mean, props to you for building such a good product/hack still ;) :D

That same error happened to me yesterday, but my install worked perfectly after I tinkered around in phpmyadmin. Turned out that a mysql entry already existed for something at step 6 (I believe I may have clicked the button twice for that step, so I probably sent the queries through twice), and every step after that didn't do anything until I went back and corrected it. It was rather a pain in the neck, but with the hack working now, I couldn't be happier.

One thing I wish were possible however. On our index page, when I enable the calender showing weekends, only it gets wider. It'd be helpful if all the boxes on the side it's on were widened when that option was selected. As it stands now, we're going to have to do it through template altering.

Is it possible to place PHP code within the vbindex_header template?

If yes, then how?

thanks...

[QUOTE=NTLDR]Ok.. Thanks.

Now thats real odd indeed, all those contstants are definded well before they are used, do you have old version of PHP or PHP 5 beta which you tried to install on? I know there has been another report of this happening.

Thanks for the feedback too :)

Only phpinclude_start and phpinclude_end can contain PHP. In vBindex RC3 you can add templates for PHP code for the extra pages (vbindex_extra_php_X) however no other templates can contain raw PHP (excluding the <if> conditionals).

I've not installed it, but you pretty much just add the HTML to the custom block along with your scrolling content by the looks of it.
