With the latest threads section, how can I get the name of the last poster and date/time of the last post displayed, rather than the name of the thread starter and date/time the thread was started?

TECK,

I am wanting to cache my images on my site so that they are not reloading each time a member goes to a different forum.

HERE is what I was told to do to make my forum cache the images. When I do what was said it works perfectly, BUT I lose all the images on the Home page, know of anyway I can fix this? Cached or not?

Someone please help me. I cannot find the file to edit. Below is a pic on what I'm trying to edit. I'm tryin to edit the left side of my site. I would like to add my own links. I would like to maybe rename website poll to cbw poll. I looked & looked and I cannot find the file to edit. Where is says

I would like to to say something totally different so what file do I edit ?

look in your Home templates.

Like I said I been looking ever place possible & still cannot find it.
If someone can post where to the T =) that would be great.

delleriumm,

Goto Templates -> Home Page Templates ->

home_advertisement - to change the advertisement info.

home_link - to change the affiliates info

That should get you want you wanted. Give it a try.

So as I understand this this can replace my php nuke frontpage and would I want to do that

thanks

Yes, you want to do it, because vBH uses far less queries that PHPNuke/vBPortal do but still give you most of the same functionality!

I switched from vBP to vBH and haven't looked back! Thanks again TECK! Now if only someone can answer my last few questions in this thread! ;)

I'm not at the house, so I cannot "verify" the tip you gave, but if memory serves me, it's to have a dedicated user (ie. The Poller). That is a possibility, but I'd like to be able to provide home page polling abaility using several member's logins.

If it's not possible without some fairly heavy modifications or research, then a dedicated User ID is the answer.

for me the code is satisfactory the way it is now and also i said that i will not develop the script anymore.
you will have to code it yourself to do this, is not hard.
if you make the change, release the hack here and i will link it on the first post. cheers.

Thanks again for your work teck, i'm sure that someone will re-relase vBHome :)

i doubt some will dear this, since the code is copyrighted.
yeah, people will ripp the code, is not the first time.

I'd pay for updates. TECK your work is top notch and unlike anyother!

-WoodiE

a full version is on the works. for a modic price of $30-$50USD, depending on what you need. when the forums will be up you will see the full version of vbHome.

I assume by forums you are referring to TeckWizards.com?


-WoodiE

yes.

I've been visiting the site for sometime to see if its up. Do you have an est. time before its finished?

-WoodiE

i was 99% done. my hd crashed about a week ago, so i lost all. i started from scratch again.

Ohh man, sorry to hear about your luck.

One word for ya: BACKUP :D try RAID-1

Anyways, I look forward to seeing the site.


-WoodiE

never had a prob with hd's in 10years.. it was ment this way...

Ok. No problem. I know that you said you were not going to develop this script anymore, but I thought there may have been something I was doing wrong. I was just making sure.

Thanks for your help and for making vbHome (Lite).

I do await a "Full Version" version as well. :) Look forward to seeing it and the many (I'm sure) differences between it and the "Lite Version".

You do very good work Teck.

Thank You again.....

i'm interested in your pay-version because virtua news is too expansive.
I'm waiting for pay-relase :)

i only hope the full version upgrades nicely from the light. :D


-WoodiE

the diff between vbHome (lite) and full version will be the same way like comparing vbulletin lite 1.1 and the full vbulletin version. there is no upgrade script involved.

If thats the case, then I'm REALLY pumped about seeing the full version. vB lite 1.1 is nothing compared to the full!

Give me a price and I'm there!


-WoodiE

ok, I installed this, but on the main page the news isint showing. http://bw.xtreme-host.net

Thats what I mean..What should I do?

Pancreas Paul,

Did you use an existing forum as the news forum?

If so I too had that problem, but as soon as I started posting new threads in the news forum they did indeed showed up.

-WoodiE

Crap, its still not working. I createrd a new forum and everything... WHATS WRONG :(

Paul, I had the same problem but then I installed the multi-forums news hack and all works well now.

Quick question time again! I'm using the alt description hack for articles in my news forums, and wanted to know how I can get that to display under the heading of news articles on my vBHome page?

you can always use the article indexer script if you have old news posted...

posting something like "I created a new forum and everything" would not help at all since oviously you didnt do everything because it's not working. go over the steps to see what you missed, because YOU MISSED something.

if you are in a rush installing it, better go back at it when you have time because this hack need you to be able to READ EVERY WORD in the readmefirst file, not just the ones you think they are needed.

Ok thanx guys. It worked, I just ran the article index thing.

it will take few months. i dont know when it will be released.
coding is the last part in my life... first is the health and wife.

TECK

I have a little problem, after I setup a clean install of vbb and vbhl on a new host, the vbhl index page loaded up as a blank page, but the forum index loads up just fine. Do you know what problem I have? I have read thru the posts here and find no answer.

Thanks:)

Great hack, but when I view the logged in as user screenshot I see some kind of avatar on the main page. When I post a message on the main page no avatar is shown. How do I do that?

I am getting a HEaders already sent error

-Arunan

Fixed, I was editing the vb options, and I did something wrong, but now its all fixed :)

-Arunan

i can't install it, all pages are blank...

ofcourse you have blank pages. did you read every single word on readmefirst.htm? no. here it is your answer. that's for you to Issy_X.
