Hi MN Mike,

Is it a hidden forum? Have you tried that?
You have to enable the user access masks.

If i remember correctly, as it has been a very long time since I've supported this (ages infact) they should not showup at all if permissions are set correctly, try logging out and seeing if said topics are still showing up

We've recently began testing the migration/upgrade of vB2 to vB3, so far all has proceeded without major difficulty; however we noticed in the upgraded vB3 database 'mYvBindex" is shown within the vB3 "admincp" tool. What's the fastest way to remove those references without reverting to the vb2 database and uninstalling? (our upgrade takes 26 hours due to a 12GB attachment table)

Thanks!

Alright, I just installed this on my forums. I'm running 2.3.5 Problem listed below...

i'm running vbulletin 3.0.7

This is for vB 2.2.8+ not vBulletin 3, if you want a solution for vBulletin 3 checkout vBa CMPS :p

I have spotted a problem with this portal, that is also there in just about every other portal for vBulletin. And I've tried them all and the same problem exist with them also!

During the installation you are asked to upload the "portal index" file to your ROOT directory outside you forums folder. But if you let's say make you forum so it cannot be view by guests. When you visit the portal page (which is located in the ROOT directory). It persumes the LOGON page is located there also. And the small text link on the LOGON page leading to the register page also thinks the register page is then located in your ROOT directory also.

It seems the only solution to this is to place the "portal index" file in your forums directory instead to work around this issue. I have noticed this same problem is there in all other portals advertised here and on vBadvaced if you place your "portal index" file in your ROOT directory and then make your board private to guests to view. Try testing this to see what I mean!!!

How can this be fixed for this perticualr portal I'm using so I can place the index file in the root directory and it will lead a person to the correct logon page located in the forums directory instead of thinking the logon page from the portal is in the root directory.

Seems to be more of a problem when you are not allowing guests to view content than anything else Gary

Yeh thats the problem, I was just messing around and found if you went into the Usergroup settings and made so Guests cannot view the board and forums. When they visit your portal page (located in your root directy were it should be), they are re-directed to the log-on page. Where they can either logon or register. But it persumes the logon page is located in your ROOT directory. Meaning all other links also on that page then will not work because they dont point to your forums folder.

Whats the fix for this so it would re-direct them to the forums folder then to the logon page there?

This same problem also exsist with vBhome, Vbadvanced, CMPS and all other portals I've tried and needs fixing.

But I need the fix for this version though, if you can help please. :nervous:

Don't know, Its been ages since I've even see vB2 code...

OK, I'm gonna have to re-install and put the portal index file in the forum folder instead of the ROOT directory to fix it. (no big deal the boards new). Because I can't really see an answers coming for this problem seeing as it's an old vb2 hack. Plus that work around cures the problem anyway completly. I would have liked to have kept the portal index file in the Root directory though really. :disappointed:

The problem is, anybody out there using other more up to date portals like vBadvanced and vBindex RC 5 for vBulletin 3 were the installation tells you to put the index file in the Root directory are going to come across this very same problem also if they ever decide to make there forum boards private to guests (meaning there not going to be able to register unless they manually link to the correct logon page in the forums directory). As this same problem seems to have been carried across to them portals and just about every other one for vBulletin that I've tested (I've tested them all).

So it's not just a vBindex 3.1 problem, but across the board for all the vB Portals.

Thanks anyway! :squareeyed:

Does anybody know how to edit the signature part of this so vBCode will be displayed on your portal. For example I added this in my signature. which on the forum displays a smiley :nervous:

But in my signature, but on the portal in my signature it just says as

Is there anyway to make it so you can add multiple forum ID's in the News section in your Admin CP, so it will grab news from multiple boards and display them on your homepage in the center. All controled from the admin cp options via entering forum ID's.

will this work in vb3.5?

I just tried it on one of my test sites and I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in

right off the bat.

any ideas???

jeff, try www.vbadvanced.com

mYvBindex has come a very long way.
