I too am having this problem. The cron jobs for vBulletin seem to be working.
In my error log it shows /forum/http://www.mydomain.org/forum/cron.php.

there's a few people asking how to show attachments in the news section, well i'm asking to, seems no one has the answer just yet.

i think i've found the 'welcome box user with no avatar bug' - i thought it was working (and it was) then it wasn't...hang on i thought, after reading around here it's exactly the same problem, if a user doesn't use an avatar then the 'Default User Avatar' did'nt show...but why? - well... simple really, i turned off 'Enable News Posters Avatar' - that was the problem, turned it on again...bingo...the bug went away... i'll leave it with you mr nt loader :)

edit - actually, it kinda works... news poster avatar shows, but a user without an avatar still shows nothing, in fact it tried to show an avatar according to the userid (i store mine in a file system btw) typical url for a missing avatar is > http://www.xx.co.uk/forum/customavatars/avatar4_0.gif (which is user 4)

coreforums.net no longer available?
thought is the support for vbindex?

I think all support for this is gone. I may move to vbadvanced if I can't figure out a way to display attachments in my news bit

I already made the switch myself. Just goto the vbindex admincp installer, goto uninstall, and install vBADVANCED. I love the thing. Only problem is I don't see a shoutbox.

I made the switch earlier today and now I have the abiliity to have my attachments display in the post!

Hiya,

I found a bug with vbIndex and the member list/count on the front page.

When a member is either not logged on, or doesn't have permissions to see invisible users, the member list will "break" when the first invisible user is encountered.

The offending line is line 398, the break 1 line:
Commenting this line out so that it completes the rest of the loop then makes the member list and member numbers render properly.

Hope this helps,
Delphy

It appears our original admin installed vbindex, it is unused. I looked at readme_1st and it doesn't appear to address uninstalling.

As per above, I've gone through the uninstall step, but a ton of vbindex templates remain.

We're doing a major site upgrade and I'd like to remove these vbindex associated templates. What is the best way to do this?

Any hope of getting this for 3.0.3?

It already works fine on 3.0.3

I installed vbindex to vb 3.0.3 with no problems, and then I pointed my browser to mydomain.com/forum/admincp/vbioptions.php and set all of the preferences, and hit "save" yet when I looked at my forum it looked exactly the same. I was not able to edit the index.php file from the admincp folder since I did not see the text indicated in that file, but the installation said that step was optional anyway. I selected to use the left column, with 0 custom side blocks ( I changed the number and didn't see any differences), in left box 1 I chose Shoutbox, Left box 2 I chose Latest Threads, Left Box 3 is Online USers, Left Box 4 is Poll, and the rest are unused. I did not enable the news, chose to have "latest threads" enabled, with 5 most recent showing, and subscribed icon, enabled the Poll, enabled a Random Poll, set the Poll forum ID to the Voting Booth forum I set up, enabled the Shoutbox, enabled the welcome box, did not enable the calendar, did enable who's online, and then hit save, but I see no difference in my forum at all. When I go to forum/vbindex.php I can see the vbindex boxes I set up, but no forum content. How do I get index.php and vbindex.php to merge? How do I set it up so I can actually see new content? I did make the changes indicated in the first step to the vbiconfig.php file, and reupped it to my server, but still see no changes at all to the content of index.php.

Hi All,
I have Vb3.0.3 and just installed Bindex RC5.
The install worked ok (got stuck in the images config page loop)
Tried configuring the options page and then saved my settings but this made no change at all to my vbulletin homepage.

One thing troubled me during the install. The screens that ask you to click on the "next" button prompted me to "please wait" but no further updates were displayed. I was kind of expecting to be told to proceed, but no, nothing. is this how it is meant to be?

some help on this would be much appreciated.

Cheers

ps as a footnote, I'd recommend a bit more assistance in the options page as its not quite clear where each box will be positioned (other than left or right)

<a href="http://www.sprnch.com" target="_blank">www.sprnch.com</a> if you need something I have just let me know.

Same here. How do you removed the vBindex templates?
I ran the uninstaller but they are still there.

Simply hit revert. Silly me, I was looking for delete.

Hi guys since I moved my site to a different server vbindex not longer runs. I am not a PHP guru or any sort of guru but here are the errors:
File version is: vBindex, File v3.0.21

Also VB 3.0.1 runs fines on the server ;).

Thank you for your help and Marry Christmas!

it looks like your folderpaths are incorrect...
open your vbindex.php with an simple text editor like wordPad
and try to find
maybe there are incorrect paths...

chdir(CHDIR_PATH);

frage

for vbindex_extra pages .. anyone know how to require registration in order to view those?

How do I uninstall vbindex, I looked at the first 15 pages but do not have time to go through the other 100 odd pages

Thanks

I've installed RC5 on my Vb 3.0.3, install went smooth no issues but forums remain in previous state, I've changed the settings and updated anything that was to be updated, I'm no guru in either php or mysql so any help would be appreciated.

Is there a toggle on/off for vbindex ? if so where is it located.

My forums are in their infancy can be seen @ www.s-i-n.co.uk/forums

I also tried the uninstall after some frustration with the lack of feedback only to hit the following...........

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT phrasetypeid
FROM phrasetype
WHERE fieldname IN('vbindex', 'vbindex_cp')

mysql error: Table 'sin.phrasetype' doesn't exist

So basicaly I'm installed but not working and unable to uninstall, clues would be good at this point as from the examples I've seen vBindex truely rocks.

I just bought a licensed copy of vBulletin. And upon installation of vBulletin, I went straight here to get some hacks. I found this one and I got excited about this fine work so I installed it immediately. Well, I installed it successfully (I think), but when I enabled the blocks. A database error occured:

How do I solve this?

Havent been here for a long time now, but i think i remember that i have seen some examples of how to make your own "page" at vbindex or something like that.

What i want to do is to publish some own custom pages with some information that i can easily link to and that uses the vBindex-look but changes the News part to my own information.

Is this possible?

hi all

how can i add the forum index on the left and the blocks on the right ??

any ideas appreciated.

Laskos

vBindex seem realy nice. Since I'm new to php and advance programming/scripting I have difficulties changing it like I would like it to be. I have bought a vBulletin licence now and would like to know were in the code I have to make the following changes.

1. I would like to have both vBindex and vBulletin forum to center on the page with a fixed, the same way the following site has done: http://www.99mac.se

2. I would like to know how and were in the i can add a second navigation list just like it is done at the following site: http://www.99mac.se

Can i make the changes in the administration environmen.. in the templates ... or do I have to "hack" the code of the .php files?

Best regards, Chris

This has nothing to do with PHP. This is XML and HTML scripting in the templates. Just modify the templates with your HTML/XML knowledge. It took me 2 days to create my vbindex site with all the grafics for http://www.LoveTalks.de.

Cheers,

How do we update the copyright symbols to MMV? I noticed the vB one updated by it's self (magic!) So I changed my own copyright to 2005, but the vBindex one remains on 2004?

Here's a question:

...I'm looking to see how easy it is to set even the VBindex page so that it is only viewable with vb3's integrated subscription service. I'd like to have a FULL subscription site, but currently it only allows me to set specific forums as part of the "subscription service".

Anyone able to shed some light?

What do I have to edit so that there are no margins for the vbindex content

Hello
How did you install?
I installed straight again the version 3.0.4.
The current wanted to then install vBindex.
Has the filesinstalled like it in the guidance is located in such a way.
For the call of "vbiupgrade.php" he asks me only for Loginname and password and then comes the AdminCP and I on the right side only a white side saw.
It begins no installation.

cu Deta
