Real Blaze,

I visited your link and saw the missing directory problem on line 8.
What's on line 8 in myvbindex.php?
Something like this? chdir('./forum');

chdir('rapblock.com/forums'); is that what it should be?

Database error in vbHome 2.3.4:

Invalid SQL:

error perstst, only thing that change is refferer is filled in the error

Don't think so. I'm not an expert, but I try chdir('./forum'); instead. It's problably your relative path to your forum.

no error still there, ima cry

i tired adding an s to make it "forums" that didnt work either

Ok, I checked it. You probably have to enter: chdir('./forums');
With an s at the end

i did^^^

That's right, uh?
Now the images!

This is what has to be done (note from the readme.html)

Next find the Styles section near the bottom left frame in your Admin CP. Click on "Modify" under Styles, then click on the [fonts/colors/etc] link. Near the bottom of this page you will see a section for Image Paths. Set the "Image folder path" and the "Title image path" to the full URL for your images folder inside your forums (ex - /forums/images or http://yoursite.com/forums/images). You must do this for each of your styles, otherwise your images will not show up.

whats wrong?

Enter

Image folder path: /forums/ekkoimages
Title image path: /forums/ekkoimages/logo.gif

And so on. No trailing / and no dots!

i did

Hmm, what's the response? I get a 404 on myvbindex.php in your root.

i get that

Strange, I see the same error on line 8. Keep it as it was, because I've seen the right page. Change the url or path to your images (as mentioned above) in your Admin control panel. Not in myvbindex, keep that as it was half an hour ago!

This is NOT vBhome


AdminCP > Styles > [fonts/colors/properties] > Edit all the image paths with http://www.mysite.com/forum/

i know, i uninstalled vbhome, then installed vbmyindex

Well that says in vBhome, not mYvBindex



http://rapblock.com/myvbindex.php << your chdir is still not correct, it MUST be a full path TRY /hsphere/local/home/hiphop/rapblock.com/forums/

what do i do, to get rid of vbhome? cuz i uniinstalle it and deleted it's php codes

Did your REMOVE index.php ? which is still vBhome? and replace it with mYvBindex.php ?

k lemme do that

chdir('./hsphere/local/home/hiphop/rapblock.com/forums/'); thats what i have is that correct?

thanx a mill the index.php thing fixed it,,, thak you thank you thankyou,

:) np, didnt think epople were even using vB2 anymore ;)

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /hsphere/local/home/hiphop/rapblock.com/index.php on line 8 theres still that at the top though, any idea.....o i love vb2, screw v3, i hate it, the look of it disgusts me

Change line 8 in what's now index.php: chdir('./forums');
That should do it.

and why isn't none of my articles showing in the middle of the vbmyhome? its just a wide open space

Blaze,

You have to edit the Myvbindex settings in your Admin Control Panel. Point to a newsforum. I guess you can't publish from more than 1 forum (as in vbHome) without modifying the code.
Also enter how many posts you want to show up

So your saying this forum here disgusts you? :/

Your News Forum ID is 2 (News & Updates). Can check that by scrolling over de forumname. You obviously now have entered ID: 4

You do understand that you have to enter: http://rapblock.com/myvbindex.php to view your actual homepage?

baby doen't cry ;)

how could i add backround music to the front page???

heres my page www.rapblock.com ,

also i get this error message sometimes to, i think it's from this hack. it comes up sometimes when i post new threads.

Database error in vBulletin 2.3.4:
Invalid SQL: UPDATE thread SET firstpostid = '366' WHERE threadid = '78'

but for the vmmyindex, how could i play backround music?

Where did you get that skin?
Thats nice. :squareeyed:

Edit the index template to do it.

the style i use is unnavailable now, i think, i bought it a while back. the site was vbforumskins.com

What's up?

I upgraded my version to the latest one and now the news threads don't update on the index page after I enter a new thread to the forum which my news is being called from. I renamed the "myvbindex.php" to "index.php" (For good reason) and this file is located in the root directory of my forum.

I'm using vb 2.30 ... Tigga, are you still providing support for this hack?

Tigga trys to support as best he can, but he is busy and doesnt use vB2 all that much.

I do support when i get a new email here


Biso you say you upgraded to the newest version of myvBindex, but it hasnt been udpated in ages.

Did you make sure all your file based hacks are still in places and that the settings are correct?

Like I said,

I've upgraded from 3.1 to the latest version and now the news section doesn't update after creating a thread in that assigned forum. It will if I run the script that updates the news, but it didn't work like this before. One thing I noticed is that once I upload a copy of myvbnidex.php to the main forum area, and point to that file in my browser, the news works fine.

I renamed the file to index.php and have it placed in the root folder under the public_html directory (outside of the forum directory). I thought the file could be renamed to index.php so that it's the first thing anyone sees when they type in the url to my forum. I know that I could create a html redirect page to point to myvbindex.php, but why should I ... when all that should be needed is to rename the file?

I have this hack installed and then upgraded to vB3. How can I remove the "remains" of this hack (ie., the options in the admincp)?
