also, I tried getting a shout box to show up on the index as well...and I have yet to do that.... I put the $shoutbox right below the $threads and it didnt show up...maybe I did something wrong...

ok, I had to redo all my templates....deleted wrong set....(YEAH i KNOW...STUPID ME...) ANYWAY

I got an error when reinstalling my vbindex.
Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.7:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD canviewvbindex SMALLINT (6)
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'canviewvbindex'

mysql error number: 1060

anyone know whats going on here???
sorry to bother...still too new to the php and sql stuff.

ok, sorry to post that...I figured it out.
Its all working pretty much now....
I can finally say GREAT HACK!

one thing I think somewhat should work on for this...(I will try too) is 1. when you are not logged in and you do login on the index page. it redirects you back to the index page instead of the forum homepage. 2.when your logged in already on the vbindex page and you logout, it redirects you back to the vbindex page...this may be really simple but I am too new to this stuff to be sure of the complexity.

THIS HACK KICKS ARSE !!! me installs :banana:
Here is my vbindex in polish :) http://www.NaKazdyTemat.com

I have 2 problems tho ...
Once i installed im getting white pages from time to time ...
And my second problem is a request ...
How do i add a small shoutout box on the right side?? Which one do i use?? Plz help
THANKS !!! :lick:

This has been done already, but as it is basicly a chunk of copied vB code it can't be posted here. Read through the thread for details and I can PM the file if required.

The shoutbox posted in this thread will work correctly with this hack, just add it to the home_right template as oposed to the home_left one.

go ahead and pm the chunk to me...thanks a ton.

I am on messenger if you need that as well

garoboldy@hotmail.com
carbondale_guy@yahoo.com messenger


thanks again
later

btw, I noticed on the news on vbindex...it shows the latest news but there isnt a link like on the title of the news....do I just make it a link and if so would you happen to know what that link would be...I dont...but will try to figure it out....this stuff is confusing...lol

Sending PM right after this. Is there not a link there already?

If not here's the href:

hey the link worked great.
checking pms at this very moment.

also if you take a look at www.evolutionaryconcepts.com/vbindex.php
for just a sec. on the right my threads box is acting weird....

here is the code for it also. let me know if you see anything odd.
