k, what should i ask? should i put my copy of the mYvbindex_newsbit template and ask them to help out?

k done, just hope i get a reply!

Except for the weather portion and what I post below the VBIndex works fine with vBulletin 2.3.2

OK here is the problem: I get this message

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 502 is not allowed to access /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/hotpage owned by uid 0 in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/hotpage/myvbindex.php3 on line 7

The line it says is in question is the ine that asks to change

chdir('/home/path/to/your/forum');

PLEASE Help

you didnt define your full path correctly

you need to figure out your full path...

i had a prolbme with this just yesterday with a differnt script ask your admin to find your full path

can someone give me an example of a full path NOT
URL

welp, this is pretty complex, as it changes from host to host.

basically, from what it looks like off the setup on our server, it's going to be the full path you'd have to go through if you were to login to your website using an ftp, for example.

So in one of my host's case, it would be

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/forum

In another host that I use for another site, it would be

/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/MYDOMAINNAME.COM/httpdocs/forum

Does that help?

Did a little bit of alteration to get the game>swg sub-home page up with threadbits monitored from a specific forum, as well as the custom templates swapping out for other templates depending on what page you're on.

next up is to set up the about page to link to forum member pages... though it just hit me how easy that is.

hi all, can someone please help!

ive installed the hack which is working great.

ive created a NEWS section on the forum but kept it private for only admin to post in.
the hack then grabs the news posts and displays them great on the index page as it should.
This is the problem i have : the news posts are all so being displayed within the LATEST POSTS section and i dont want them to, if a member clicks the link it tells them that they can not read it due to permissions

how do i stop the NEWS posts being placed within the lastest post portal???

thanx in advance

fyi, you might want to give them access to read the new/view the news just not reply

however you could add a line of code to remove specifci forums i belive, if you read back abit i think you could figure it out

I had the same question. However If you marked everthing correctly they should only show up to Admins and moderators.

Try logging out and see if they still show up.

the way the original hack work is that it would pull from all forums, there is a section around one of theses pages that will make it so only the ones you want show up by excluding some

First and foremost, MANY thanks to Faranth for helping out where he could while I've been without internet access and have had so many crazy things happening in my life.
I do finally have an internet connection at home again, so I should be around more often to provide support. If anyone still has any outstanding problems that Faranth hasn't been able to solve, let me know and I will do my best to help out. :)

Thanks Brian it means alot :D

Can anybody post links to modiefied vBindexes?
I want to make hacks based on it, but don't know where to start from ...

what kinda hacks do you wanna make for it?

and technally i think you need brians premission

If he's just planning on making some "mini-hacks" (similar to the ones in the first post) to add more functionability to the hack, then technically I don't think he would need permission... And either way I wouldn't mind. :)
If he's planning on making some other hacks that are based on mYvBindex and it's code, but are not the same hack, then yes, you're right and he would need my permission first. :)

Is there a way to take snippets of code from it and imply it in a website?

like how?

Sure... There are Admin CP options to turn off virtually every option as well though.

I would like to add additional forums to display on the index page, can someone please post the steps in creating those?

I'm using 2.3.2

Thanks in advance,
bobII

try this


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=420

if that doesnt work lemme know im currently searching though the thread..

No, that's not it. I want to be able to create new forums then call the variable on the mYvBindex page (index.php) so they display on that page, just like News and Polls does...

Thanks in advance,
bobII

im still abit confused by what your refering too :\

The mYvBindex uses the News forum, for example to display a set amount of threads on the homepage (mYvBindex.php). You can then login to the admin and set how many threads to display, how many words and etc... I would like to create a new forum or two and display the first 5 threads within the newly added forum on the homepage as well. So, I'm looking for the steps on how to achieve this goal. I know that someone was able to do the same thing I'm asking for, I just cant seem to find it within this thread, I know it's in here somewhere :)

this would require abit more coding then im able to do ( lol 0 ;)) so youll either hafta wait for Tigga or till some one eles can help :\

sorry

Thanks anyway for your help!

Hmm on my site http://www.raginpagin.com every thread of every forum (except hidden forums) show up on VBIndex

he wnats to display lets say 5 threads in the news section from specified forums

Hi BobII,

from browsing through plur's code, the only way I can think of doing it (and I'm an amateur) is copying and pasting the code for displaying NEWS, then renaming the eval for the copy of NEWS to $newsbits2, then in the $newsbits2 code, hardcoding the WHERE forumid=$newsforum to a specific forumid.

I assume, though, that this would cause all kinds of unforeseeable problems, because I'm generally a tard.

As phenomenon said, the best way would probably be to copy the code for the news section, paste it right above (or below) the original code, and then look for this code:

WHERE forumid='$newsforum' AND open<>10

And replace $newsforum with the forum id for your other forum.

probally cause an increase in querry time and rendering time as well?

Just an FYI... The vB3 version of this hack (now called vBadvanced Index) is available at vbulletin.nl ;)

lol, you released it without telling me TIGGA! how dare you :P


/me goes and makes comments and note changes to the beta code

Can anyone help with a problem I am having with myvbindex?

Everything seems to be working fine apart form the headers.

If you look here:

http://www.w1h.net (note the header, logo, etc)

Now look at:

http://www.w1h.net/myvbindex.php

You will see that its not displaying the header properly

I can see its requesting the wrong logo filename, but a bit nervous about changing anything before getting advice first.

Thanks

All I did was goto Admin CP down to templates then modify, copy the header template and paste it into myvbinex index_header template.

GB

Did that and it worked and absolute charm.

Thanks very much for replying so quickly.

How come vbulletin.nl won't let me download MyvBIndex Advanced? It won't even let me find the page..

I believe it's not on the site.

It was up for a little while, I'm not sure exactly what happened to it. I was able to snag it, and its working really good. There was a small bug in the install regarding styles. Maybe its getting a workover.

its been removed bby request of jelsoft.
