i would install your skins first then install vbindex makes it alot easier to install

Thanks.

Has anyone figured out how to display attachments in the news post?

I tried this and it didn't work. I still get this error when clicking on the shoutbox:
"Unknown table 'shoutbox' in where clause"

I do have someone in the global ignore list (tachy goes to coventry) and I did not get this error before when that list was empty. Anyone got a fix?

Oh damn.. this thread is growing and growing.. Wouldn't it be nice to have a summary of often asked things like "How do I make vbindex.php my index Site?" and sort of this? As you can see at this posts no one is taking care of all that 134 sites of postings ;)

Or is this summary already existing and I didn't get it? :p

Furthermore a list of all additions made by other ppl, as custom block mods from interest (e.g. bookshop out of threads in a special forum etc.) would be great? Also already existing and I didn't see it? ;)

Cheers... .. .

Actually I DID search this entire thread for a solution. Hence the quoted text :rolleyes: The posted "fix" is already in RC5 which is what I'm running. My shoutbox doesn't work because of the error I mentioned. If anyone has a solution (short of clearing the global ignore list) please reply. Thanks!

Has anyone been able to fix the bug with the whos online yet?

Yes - but I can't remember how I did it. It was to do with users choosing to be invisible. I'll compare the hack instructions with what I now have and post here asap.

Thanks mate, that would be awesome :)

OK - not much to change. See attached .txt file

Sorry - forgot to put the file to edit in the text - edit vbindex.php

chris2707 thank you!

Your fix has made me a very happy person indeed. May all clothes fall off the people you want to see naked. :)

Ok, my members can not login through the front page;

http://www.floridastreetscene.com/vbindex.php

When the username / pass is entered they are taken to this page;

How can I fix this??

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm receiveing this message in my error logs.

File does not exist: /home/ataforum/public_html/http://www.myurl.com/cron.php.

The cron file is located where it is supposed to be but for some reason the url is being added after /public html/ instead of just the cron.php. I read some previous posts and they said it was related to VBindex and the way it calls the $cronimage. I have not modified the copyright in any way. Could someone please shed some light on this situation. I have read about 50 of the pages in this thread but no luck. Thanks in advance.

Hi

Please could someone confirm if this works with VB3.0.3 please?

I'm a newbie and don't want to just jump right in! :)

UP

would like to inform when this work with vb 3.0.3

installed with a localized vbulletin 3.03. Seems it works great so far. Might be problems not found yet. But so far so good :nervous:

I have edited admincp/index.php, but looks like my vbindex option is still not showing up in the admincp panel. So it is kind of hard to get to its control panel part.

Anybody has any suggestion?

Clicks Install

Excellent script NTLDR

I'm using your "blank page" script with vBindex to have custom content in the center block using the template vbindex_extra_insertname and it works great.

All the page URL's end with vbindex.php?page=article

I want to use this method to display tons of articles, but is it possible to implement a search engine script to pull the text from these article pages?

Here's an example page http://www.clangrounds.com/index.php?page=servers

Thanks.

Did you add it to the phrase manager? If not go into your admin cp and add the following as a new phrase:

Varname: vbindex_options
Text: vBindex Options

Is there a site with add-ons to vbindex existing? Like if you have a certain forum, where you have got reviews of books and you wanna have one of those reviews schown randomly in a custom box on the right side?

There used to be Core Forums but now that url just redirects to this thread. Apparantly this thread is now the sole point of contact for this portal script. Unfortunately the support has also disappeared as I never did get a response for my own issue. Core Forums had a few good modifications / add-ons too, so it's a shame to have lost that.

I am gettin this mySQL error message on my vB index homepage:

Right, I have read 40+ pages now and cant seem to find the answer to this.

I have installed this hack and everything seems fine, I still need to change path to smilies though.

The only problem is, I use a flash header which has links to forum and home. This seems to have been changed when I installed the hack. It is pointing to the wrong address on the home page.

I havent renamed the home page yet so see the link here:

http://www.mobilephonemadness.com/vbindex.php

Any idea what I need to change to fix this? Where are the variables such as $stylevar[imgdir_misc] defined?


Thanks In Advance

This is my very first post here since I'm such a newb at this I thaught I'd say thanks for the hack and a HUGE thank you to KWOPPER for these instructions.
I just last week purchased VB and installed vbindex last night, It was a bit of work till I came across this one post.
Things went as smooth as anyone would want.
One question I have though is it ok that I removed the powered by disclamer at the bottom of the vbindex page?
I have purchased the branded free licence for VB and didnt see a point in having it there.I did however keep (vBindex Copyright ? MMII - MMIV Winter Systems). on the page per the posted disclaimer.
I have it setup at http://www.offroadrc.com
Any feedback would be appreciated.

has anyone got the photopost block code handy, cannot find it in this thread, i have photopost and vbindex, i would like to include some thumbs on vbindex, please advise, cheers

-b6

lol I attempted to install this and I'm not sure where itwent. I got the options in the control panel but I don't see it as my first page. Help please
http://www.werbeyond.com/forum/index.php?

<a href="http://www.werbeyond.com/forum/vbindex.php?" target="_blank">http://www.werbeyond.com/forum/vbindex.php?</a> Here's your vbindex page, looks like you've got some errors though..,.

Nice Hack which I have installed. Everything is fine but I get these errors once in awhile:

--------------------------------
Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: ## COUNT SHOUTS ##
SELECT COUNT(*) AS shouts
FROM vbindex_shoutbox
WHERE 1 = 1

AND shoutbox.userid NOT IN (137,465,508,197)
mysql error: Unknown table 'shoutbox' in where clause

mysql error number: 1109

--------------------

Or several variations of the same error message.

Anyone ever figure out why Firefox opens the index page out of align randomly? This was mentioned on the old core forums but never replied to I believe.

Uninstalled this mod again. Forum was not running perfectly anymore. The queries took too much power with all the users we have got. Maybe I will try a own solution with precaching the topics. Out database server was not running anymore with vbindex running.

Furthermore this thread is really too complex to get help. A support site would be great, really ;)

Well, this project is basically abandoned from the looks of it. There used to be a site, but that was shut down.

Too bad. Did anyone manage to fix the "users online"? Cos I've just taken it down now...

Still looking for custom blocks... Anyone know of some?

There are a few around. I just make my own. Much easier that way.

I would, but I just suck at that stuff..lol

I've been looking and it seems 90% of the custom blocks I find are for vbAdvanced...

Does anyone know why on my frontpage the background image of the title of each block is missing? like in my forums theres a 'color fade' while the ones on the front page are one color?

http://www.floridastreetscene.com/vbindex.php

Also how can I make the tables strech out as far as the nav box is? As you can see they are a bit thinner.

there is a BUG
If im Offline the Online Users dont show right nummber

Ok I just installed this hack a few days ago, and the install went quite smoothly, I did get a few errors, but after a fresh re-install I fixed them.

Anyways I have a few problems that maybe you guys can resolve, hopefully LOL.

I'm not much of a coder or programmer of php, I'm basically just a user. I download install, make a few minor changes to the php, and that's about it.

My website is currently running a skin from a 3rd party designer, and it runs great on the forums, but it doesn't display properly on vBindex. As you can see here:

Forums: http://www.bhonline.net/forum/index.php?

and here's what the vBindex looks like: http://www.bhonline.net/forum/vbindex.php?

Pretty crappy eh? Well I've taken the time this morning to contact the 3rd party designer of the skin, hopefully he'll reply and be able to help me, if not I was hoping someone here might be able to dedicate some time to this project and help me out. ;)

I would like for the skin to display properly and would like for the page itself to display like the forums do in a fixed format where when you change the size of your browser to make it bigger or smaller the size of the page doesn't grow or get "squished." :p

If anyone has some time to dedicate to this or help me out, I would be VERY thankful and your time would be compensated if need be.

I do very much like this hack, and would hate to goto another Portal now, but if I can't get this skin to work, i really don't have much choice.

Thank you in advance for checking my post out! ;)

This doesnt show right for anyone but the admin...I have simply disabled users online...
