These have already been covered in the thread.

Add: $numreplies in the home_threadbit template where you want the reply count to appear.

This Hack doesn't seem to work on 2.2.8

I took a totally unmodified 2.2.8 to test it before applying it on my home-Forums.

Step6: Used vBHacker, no Problems in admin/usergroup.php, changes to admin/template.php failed because the reqested string was not found.

The String should be:
found a string edited it to (if else, i got errors in that line)

If i call up my domain, i'm redirected to index.php which has no changes to it, same if i click on home. If I open vbindex.php, I see the following (screen attached). The Test-Pool is not displayed on the left, and from the Index I don't have any Chance to get to the forums from there.

Don't really know what to do with this, any help?

[EDIT]

The Test-Poll is displayed for Ones who voted in it using the Poll-Forum.

This is whats supposed to happen, you need to change a number of things if you want it to work differently to this, eg change the header links, change it to index.php and index.php to forums.php for example.

As has been said plently of time before you need to update the home_poll template for it to display correctly.

thanks for the help regardless ntldr.
i figured a way around it anyway, that's more productive.
your method works perfectly (forumid) now that i've switched things around.
thanks a bunch.

NTLDR

Got a little problem (a minor one), how come the online buddy list on vBindex doesn't work, but in the forum it works? Thanks!

Just a note I got the forum addon:)

I forgot something very important in my first Post: Thx 4 this great Hack ;)

But know to my Questions:

I want vBIndex to be the default-load when visiting my domain, so rename vbindex.php to index.php and index.php to forums.php? How Du I add a Forum Button in the upper Row like on vB.org?

My next Question is: I run a big Clanboard, so my Page is visited by "Members" (who may vote on the poll and see the news) and "Outsiders" (they may not see the vote and if possible see there own news, which morely will be some infos on the clan). How can I achive this, or should I better use vB Portal?

i can help you with that one.
edit your .htaccess and make it look like this...

that way, it looks to open vbindex first, and if that isn't there, it'll open index.php

Use the thread templates from vBindex 1.3, like I have already said.
