I'd be happy to do that... Unfortunately i don't know PHP :disappointed:
Can you tell me where should i put it or something ?
Is it so complicated ? please help anyone..

You haven't set up the options correctly. If you wish to use multiple news forums they must be seperated by commas, eg 12, 2

How can I create a link or set of links in a custom block to the Forums main page?
- I can't find the template to edit anywhere...

Also the polls don't seem to work. On my test board the URL is http://69.93.73.106/~authent/vbindex.php (until i get it working and actually switch my domain name) but when i answer a poll it gives me

vBulletin Message
Invalid Poll specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

I notice though, the url it goes to strips off the /-authent/

Also, how can I add a FORUMS link to the top of the page where "User CP Register FAQ Members List Calendar New Posts Search Quick Links Log Out " links are?

vbindex_customblock_X (where X is the block number) after you have set the blocks up on the options page.

You have the board URL set wrong in the ACP.

Edit the navbar template.

any updates on a more accurate count on newpost/threads?
i tried some experimenting myself and couldn't make the newpost/threads counter go down as the users read the posts/threads.. think its even possible?

speaking of vbindex rc4... anything we should expect in the next version? updates, fixes, changes?

Don't know if this've been said. But I think there's a small buggie that needs to be chopped.

On the main page (vbIndex), the "logout" link is not linking to the login.php in the /forums/ folder, it's linking to login.php in the same folder where vbindex.php is in.

For those that wanted a tool to automatically update your smilie path's, here is a quick and ugly automated script:

Place the attached file in your admincp (or equivalent) folder and load it from the browser...

The first page you see prompts you for the extra path you want to add to the start of every smilie in your database: e.g. /forums/ to be added to the start of every images/smilies/{smilie}.gif, you would enter /forums/.

Then u press Update Smilie Path, and it will do it.

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK - TAKE A DUMP OF YOUR SMILIE TABLE BEFORE USING THIS SCRIPT.

I used it on my site and it worked a charm - if you wanna see the SQL query to run it from your AdminCP, it goes as follows:

[sql]

UPDATE `smilie` SET `smiliepath`= CONCAT('/forums/',`smiliepath`);

[/sql]

If u use the above SQL query, make sure you append your table prefix to the start of the table name, and alter the /forums/ bit to match your site.

Hopefully it will be in RC4, it is posible I've just got to get the code done to do it :)

Are you sure you edited the navbar template correctly? All the links to login.php should be corrected in the provided template.
