Let me know if that's the folder disposition for your vbHome.

Yes it is

Root= /testforum (global.php and index.php are here)
------------/forum
-------------------/admin

you can see what happens at http://www.thewatchdesk/com/testforum

Hmmm, is obvious it will not work. You set the wrong path.
Try [high]$adminpath = 'forum/admin'[/high], it will work. In other words, you did not searched the thread. ;)
Orelse you would it see the answer...

EDIT: I see you got it working now...
http://www.thewatchdesk.com/testforum/

Search the thread, it will save you time always. All questions are always answered before, in those 3000 posts...

i'm sure its obvious to everyone but me, but this is what global.php looks like now

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Enter your Admin CP path here (no slash) //////////////////////

$adminpath = 'forum/admin';

// done editing //////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

and it still doesn't work....

It does if you use the right URL.
http://www.thewatchdesk.com/testforum

and not:
http://www.thewatchdesk/com/testforum

Hey, it was working fine, why did you change the $adminpath again??
Leave the $adminpath as:
$adminpath = 'forum/admin';

Must be because I am stupid. :dead:

Got it now, thanks for your patience. I'll be running it on the main page by the new year, I want to play a little first.

Happy Holidays

You are not stupid! Hmm I really hate it when people say this about themselfs.
You are unexperienced like I was me to when I first started... and like anyone else here when they started coding.

Glad you got it working. Congrats. :)

I am vietnamese .. and my English is Bad .. I posted here ... to active at http://www.teckwizards.com :cool:

Posting for access please

Access please...
:D

Request for access (User - Silent Bob)

Hi Guys, this is not my thread, but I would like to tell you that you do not request access to TW here (well you can), but you post in this thread (anything about vBhome, maybe some sort of comment., and then link to it at TW when you make your post asking for access.

Take some time there to read the rules, and the regulations, so the autorization steps can be done quickly.

Regards

I noticed a problem with this, if you have GZIP compression enabled on your boards, this vBHome page doesn't show up at all, or shows up with garbled text. Any way to fix this?

Request

Is there anyway I can install a test version of this hack without creating a whole new test forum?

Of course. Read the instructions included onto the zip file.
The script includes an uninstaller also.

The instructions tell me to edit my forum PHP files!

Yes, so? You can un-edit them after, the changes are minimal. :)
Try it on your test board on your pc, if you want to see, of check my site for a demo. Use tester/test as username/password.

Btw, if you install it, don't like it and run the uninstall, you will get a database error. Simply refresh, it will fix it automatically.
This is hapenning when the articles are not yet indexed. ;)

Cheers.

I don't have a test board on my PC . . . how do I go about doing that? Do I need to install PHP and mySQL on it?

Also . . . will the changes I make to the forum's PHP files be visible in the forums? I am not going to install the vBHome page in my root directory yet . . . I want to see it and play with it first. It will be part of the next release of the site (which is months away).

Search the Tips and Hints forum to install on your PC vBulletin.

OK . . . but my main question was: will the changes I make to the forum's PHP files be visible in the forums? I am not going to install the vBHome page in my root directory yet . . . I want to see it and play with it first. It will be part of the next release of the site (which is months away).

@AviationForum - It won't affect your main forum's files in any visible way. I'm doing the same as you, btw, in that I'm making a test page before I launch it live. I've had no problems with it.

Thanks. :)

Can I see a completely unmodified, "as packaged" version somewhere?

access needed :knockedout:

My site is the default look, with no alterations at all. Same idea like vBulletin.

One more question -- can I put it not in the root directory but somewhere else without having to edit files?

Hmmm, I can't get any of the text (words) to show up in on the main page in the part with the news. Everything is perfect except next to where the avatars and under the thread title it doesn't show anything except the posters avatar and then to the right of that where the text should be it is blank and nothing is there.

Did you read the readme file? Every word of it? Where it says something about not showing the article body?
Or did you searched this thread?

One more question -- can I put it not in the root directory but somewhere else without having to edit files?

I don't want it to be my index file just yet in root . . . I want to put it in a test directory. Can I do that without having to make any other changes?

I got it to work. I must have missed a part of reading. Thanks :D

Rename the vbHL index.php file as home.php and place it in your root. ;)
In this way, your main home page is still active, but you are able to work on the new page...

Requesting access to the restricted forums :)

Is that all I have to do?

How do I gain access to the VBHome site?

Once you have installed vbHome (lite) you can then signup at the TW.com forums and request access there :)

Requesting activation . . .

I've looked through the ReadMe file, searched this thread, and I still can't get the article body to display. Can someone just TELL me?
