quick question regarding the last xxx posts. with the current version of vBAdvanced I use, users can still see the topics in this list whether they can access them or not, with this version can this list be restricted so that only topics they can access are displayed?

Hey Would dearly love to make a post here - Recently installed your hack and its very nice. I am upgrading from PHPNuke/PhpBB heavily modded (especially the theme). I found it was quite an effort to convert my phpnuke theme across, but well worth the effort. Just thought i might post one thing in the style system (for the borders).

I had to do a tiny bit of modding, but i think it'd be a good idea to have themes for blocks so you dont have to design each block individualaly, what i mean is a standard for blocks to be done, I've done a makeshift version that is just block_open module_content and block_close - works like a charm at the moment.

Love the module

tccra - I'm pretty sure that should work. Just create the style, then select that style on your CMPS page in the admin cp.

Scutter - Your users should only be able to see the threads they have permission to see in either the CMPS or the Homepage. If not then you most likely have your forum permissions set incorrectly.

mattster2002 - I almost changed it so that all of the modules would be surrounded by one template where you could change that and have all of the module blocks change, but ended up not doing it mostly because I couldn't think of a good way to put the titles in the blocks when they contained links. I'm thinking I may just add those as phrases and change the way it's done in a future version though. :)

Outstanding job Brian, the load was a +++++ for me to handle because of the required mods the site relies on with a little code optimization this hack is working sweet and very sound!

>> Clicks Install <<

Why thank you sir. :)

settings are all OK and they can not access the posts, but they can see the topic titles which I do not want them to see. Is there a way to stop these showing or is it a case where I say only certain forums will show in the latest topics?

Kickass, thanks for sharing. Any ideas on what future addon modules you'll be adding such as weather?

Sorry mate, totally forgot about checking back here..

Ok sweet, well It does load quite slowly for me, but nobody else has complained about it, so it must just be the quick moderation.

Thanks Tigga!

It might be a great hack, but it don?t work to me:(
I get:
Can anyone help me please?

Sounds like you've got another hack installed that's clashing (maybe the forum specific icon's one?). If you'll look in your modules/news.php file for:

iconpath AS threadiconpath

And replace that with:

icon.iconpath AS threadiconpath

That should fix the problem.

Great, it?s fixed!!
Thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great hack! *clicks install*

Hi,

I've just upgraded my board to 3.0.3 and I have a problem with viewing the portal. I'm sure it's just a stupid little error I can't see, but I still hope someone can point me in the right direction ;)

I can't see any error messages, the portal site is just blank (as in http://www.mydomain.com is blank, while http://www.mydomain.com/index.php is fine since I never replaced it. http://www.mydomain.com/portal.php is also blank).

Any ideas? Like I said, just upgraded the board, I've had the portal running at the board for quite a few weeks now with no problems, so there's no database error.

rerun the templets part of the install again basically rerun all the install once again it will work

No, there's nothing missing from the templates. Any other ideas? How can I quickly deactive the portal for now? As in make the http://www.mydomain.com point to index.php instead of portal.php

great hack and very easy to install :)

I get this error when trying to install:
I have VB 3.0.3. This is the 1st Hack that I am trying after I upgraded from 2.2.8 to 3.0.3.

Any Ideas?

well if this is the first hack you are installing, I would suggest checking the code edits in the functions.php

The hack works fine with vb 3.0.3

This is the 1st hack i am installing since I upgraded to 3.0.3... I have checked Funtions.php 5 times aready and tried the install 2 times already... I cant figure out what i am doing wrong...

One thing i did notice was on the function_calander.php page, the code I was to find and replace, wasnt exactly the same...

It said to find this code:
But in my page it was actually this:
the $show was not listed on mine...

Can anyone help? I can try installing the hack again but i made sure i followed the instructions to the mark... I dont know what to do to get this stuff working...

Dreamweaver corrupts the function.php file if your using that to edit.

The code in the functions_calendar.php file changed in 3.0.2 or 3 (I don't remember which). They had an extra $show variable in there, but finally removed it. That is the correct code to change though.
Were you by chance editing your functions.php file with Dreamweaver or another similar program? If so, try editing the file with Notepad or another simple text editor as programs like Dreamweaver have been known to cause problems in the past. As long as you're not editing with one of those programs and the change was made correctly then you shouldn't have any problems.

yea i had the same issue with $show when installing the hack, this should not have been a problem.
when do you get the following error? on what page?

Hello,
I have just installed vBadvanced CMPS and I can add pages and do other things but when I try to get to the cmps_index.php page this error comes up:
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected '/' in /home/gadgetz/public_html/sneakypipsextips/cmps_index.php on line 19" I am sure I have the server path right is there anything elce taht could be wrong.
Thanks for the help

Does Dreamweaver do this for all other files when you are editing simple lines?

The only thing that would cause that is incorrectly modifying the chdir line... What do you have in that line?

Not every file, but some. It's safer to not use Dreamweaver except for template editing.

i have always used dreamwaver for editing files, never had a problem

Thanks Guys.. Dreamweaver was the problem...

:banana:

I have one big question (actually, 2 :-))

1. How can I manage it? Will my control panel be the same? Can I use it on 3.0.3?
2. This is the problem. I want to set up a site with many manuals, news posts, downloads etc. etc.. I currently use postnuke en phpnuke for this. But, the forums where they are working with are PHPBB and not Vbulletin. So I'm looking for a nice Vbulletin solution.
Is vBadvanced capaple to manage a huge ammount of downloads, manuals and news-posts? Will it look like a normal site? Just just with links on the side.
It has to be easy understandeble for every n00buser.

is this possible?

Please help me. If it can do what I want this is just perfect!

It doesn't work. Can somebody help me?

Yeah, well I do as well. But every now and then I come across a file it can't do for some reason. It's far and few between.

Hey Tigga,
This is what I have in the line: /home/gadgetz/public_html/sneakypipsextips
gadgetz is my user name (for my host) and sneakypipsextips is the forum name.
The website address is http://gadgetz4free.com/sneakypipsextips
Thanks for the help

I seem to have a problem. The problem resides with the Post Icon. The image I'm referring to is 'deficon'. No matter what I do, the result is a broken link. It seems that the installation process couldn't update that specific icon. All the other icons are fine. I am using 3.0.3. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

put it in a image folder where your indexcmps file is /www/images like it is in /www/forum/images

which is your link to forum?

I get to installing the settings bit and it spews out this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: build_datastore() in /content/StartupHostPlus/a/e/www.ae-hq.co.uk/web/kc/admincp/vbacmps_install.php on line 1352

Any ideas? This CMS looks very nice. I am running vB 3.0.0 RC 2.

I cannot seem to get the reputation images to transfer over. The reputation stayed there, but my board get the "User is greatUser is greatUser is great" ad infinitum. Any ideas?

this and regular vba seems to run painfully slow on my board.. 20K members and 1.2mil posts.. the forum runs perfect, but this front end is like sludge.

Well anyone had any idea on how to put a paypal icon by adding a new module on the vbAdvance homepage? I'm a noob in php so I hope that anyone who could give me a clear / step-by-step tutorial would be really helpful

thanks in advance

Does this have to be uninstalled before you ugrade to a new version of vb?

I also find it runs like cold molassas uphill on a slow day.
