TOPICS

In vbPortal, I post a new story to go on the front page, I can select a TOPIC for it to be assigned to.

For instance, I run a racing website, so when I post a news story, I can select a particular track for the Topic.

Then in a sideblock, I have a dropdown menu that has all the Topics in it, if I select a particular track from the Topic, it will load a page with all the news stories on that particular topic (track).

It also assigns an image that goes in the top right corner of the news story, such as the track logo.

You can see my site at www.stlracing.com and see what I am talking about.

Hey guys, I have request to make.

This one might be familiar to Tigga, since I asked him to do same thing in vBadvanced 2, to which he responded immediately and upgraded his script. I wonder if same addition can be performed in vBadvanced this time round.

In 'Latest Threads' box, I would like to see body (text) of latest posts, on top of what is there already, like thread name, thread starter, dates...).

I think that ability to show a bit of an actual messages on a portal page helps draw people into your forum. Tubedoqq's script springs to mind here.

and very useful will be if all boxes can be moved in any position like UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT or CENTER! ;)

stlracing - I'm not sure if that will ever be a default option, but that might make for a good hack. I can try to look into creating one when I have the time, but I can't guarantee when that will be.

Ivan - Do you mean basically like the preview option on forumdisplay? If so, check vbadvanced.com for v1.1. ;)

M.C. - All of the blocks can easily be moved by editing the index template. They're all well commented, so it shouldn't be hard at all to figure out how to place them where you'd like. ;)

Ok well after running it for a few days on a 550+ concurrent user site.. I got several bugs..

1 is that the portal can't sustain the users.. even though the queries are low.. it takes the portal time to draw itself out. ( this is still with the server at .78 load ) I've used both my modified and non modified version of the templates and it makes no diffrence.

while being out of the /forums/ directory the whole portal acts diffrently.. some things work some thing do work.. I think for later versions you should make it in the control panel where you can specify where your vbadvanced is located so that the program recognizes the proper paths.

Addition of new blocks:

I've tried diffrent methods and the only way to get a new block is to hardcode the code on the index or hardcode into the template. I think there should be a feature where you can add new templates at will and able to add diffrent types of blocks ( ie php , regular html etc)

Question:

Is there a simple way just to pull out the header/ and blocks using a regular php page? ( I am just wondering since in 2.0 you could but everything seems diffrent under 3.0)
