- - vBindex v3.0.0 RC5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59524)

I installed this hack and it was working for about 5 minutes. Now I just get a white page

quick question: How do I uninstall vbindex??

*edit* nevermind, I figured it out :)

Looks good...I'll give it a try as I do not like vbadvanced!!!

I have a small question, perhaps already answered, by my search didn't gave me any good result...
I try to find a way to have 3 colums :
left : samll one; with user infos, stats, etc
middle : news from one forum
right : news from another forum
middle and right column have the same size

In fact, I have an english and french forum and I want to have only one front page for both language and have the same news in both language, and in two separated colums.

Thank for your help !

yup works on 3.0.7

Hello everybody, I have two questions I would like to ask about vBindex RC5.

1: Is is possible to make it so it creates it's own main templates directory that stores all the sub templates in it during the installation process. You know, like how the FORUM HOME directory stores all the forum home templates in it. When you look at the template structure in your admin CP.

2: Also when you view your "who is online" and were section on your forum. If a person is on the vbindex page. It displays them as being in an un-known location. Rather than saying there on the vbindex page viewing it.

By the way I think vBindex is great and the best portal out there. But I would like to see these two little things put right to polish the product off. If anybody can help out with these two things I would be grateful!

Were can I download extra blocks (moduals) for this?

Thanks for the mod! Got it installed and working (apparently) even though it was my first ever mod install. Now if I could just find a skin I like...

If you want to add a "Add To Favourates" block to your vBindex site. Just replace the code in one of your custom blocks with this. I just converted this over from CMS to vBindex.

I've also converted the Random Images Block also over to vBindex and added a text description with each image which is displayed. If anybody is interested in that also which can be viewed on my site. Give us a shout here!

PHP Code:


		
			
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%">

    <tr>

        <td>

            <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">

                <thead>

                <tr>

                    <td class="tcat" style="text-align: center">

                        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('vbindex_customblock$box')"><img id="collapseimg_vbindex_customblock$box" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$collapseimg_vbindex_customblock.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

                        <strong>Bookmark Site</strong>

                    </td>

                </tr>

                </thead>

                <tbody id="collapseobj_vbindex_customblock$box" style="$collapseobj_vbindex_customblock">

                <tr>

                    <td class="alt1">

                        <div class="smallfont"><center> 

<a href="#" onclick="if (window.sidebar) { window.sidebar.addPanel('$vboptions[hometitle]', '$vboptions[homeurl]',''); } else if( document.all ) { window.external.AddFavorite( '$vboptions[homeurl]', '$vboptions[hometitle]'); } else if( window.opera && window.print ) { return true; }">Add To Favourites</a> 

</center></div>

                    </td>

                </tr>

                </tbody>

            </table>

        </td>

    </tr>

</table>

Is there a way to test the functionality of this hack without going live? Can the portal be turned on and off?

Open this vbindex teplate: vbindex_centerthreadbit

Look for this line near the bottom of the template.

PHP Code:


		
			
[bburl]/showthread.core?$session[sessionurl]

replace place it with this:

PHP Code:


		
			
[bburl]/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]

The error in the code is the "core?" code. It should say "php?"

----------------------------

Open this vbulletin default template: calendar_smallmonth_day

Search for:

PHP Code:


		
			
<span class="smallfont"><a href="calendar.core?$session

replace it with this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<span class="smallfont"><a href="calendar.php?$session

The error in the code is the "core?" code. It should say "php?"

Yes, the Portal page gets it's permissions from the forum settings. So if you setup you forum so Guest cannot view the board for example, the same settings will apply to you portal page.

Is there a way to test the functionality of this hack without going live? May concern is that the install doesn't alter my index.php or forces my forum to use vbindex.php instead. I want to make sure I have the option to continue to use index.php until I decide to use vbindex.php or rename vbindex.php to index.php if I choose to use that as my main gateway.

I'm not really sure what you mean exactly. If you mean can you still use your forum as before as default after the portal is installed. Yes you can. The portal does not override your forum board setting by taking over the index.php

It's a totally different page separate from the forum in that sence. If you have not installed the portal yet. Take my advice if you decide to install it, and put both the vbindex and vbconfig files in your forums folder instead of the root folder. Thats the best way to go with this!

Thanx Gary for the fast reply and patients. I'm going to try it now. I'm trying to take it easy today and didn't want to start something that I'm not up for finishing. I think I'm ready for a portal now. My forumhome is getting kinda cluttered.

Thanx again for you help

If you have anymore questions or problems during the installation, ask away and I'll help were I can.

things worked fine for me untill yesterday when i upgraded to 3.0.8 and now when i reinstalled vbindex i get this message at the top of the vbindex.php page

Quote:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /var/www/html/forum/vbindex.php on line 144

erm no.

try:

./var/www/html/forum/

he was giving an example of what to change it to, you don't actually change it to ./forumdirectory.

dohh..ill give that a try and report back

chdir('./var/home/html/forum');

thats whats on line 144 now and i still get the same error msg on the very top

by the way... i appreciate the help poolking

ok just try ./forum

BTW I would suggest letting people behind proxies see your site as you may be preventing lots of potential members seeing your site.

i put the script in to prevent proxies because of abuse by imature morons

i tried to change it to only ./forum but i still get the same mesg

u can log in using a user name of test and a password of test if you want to check it out

which directory is vbindex.php in?

The reason why I mentioned proxies is because I'm behind one and cannot see your board.

You can always ban the morons via other means without banning hundreds of innocent people.

also try this if your vbindex.php file is in your forums folder. Which is were I put mine.

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/password/public_html/forum');

The "password" bit is the password you use to log-on to your servers CP Panel were you create a database and have your CP Tools

The "forum" bit is the name of your vbulletin folder than contains all the forum files.

-----------------------------

If you store the vbindex and vbconfig file ikn your root directory, try this.

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/password/public_html');

no such luck guys.... :ermm:

i tried several different combinations but no such luck

why would it work so well with 3.0.7 but as soon as i upgraded it became an issue

I'm not sure becuase I installed vBindex on vB 3.0.7 and then upgraded the other day to vB 3.0.8. All went smooth here.

Are you sure you not messed to upgrade up or something, all though that should'nt really effect the error your getting with the vbconfig file.

Have you not thought about creating a php script to get your server path?

Here are a couple of new blocks that managed to create from bits if information put together from various sites around the internet. (please note these were coded from scratch by myself). They were just put together to suit vBindex.

If anybody else has some custom blocks they have created themselves for vBIndex I would be gratefull if you can post your codes here so were check your blocks out as well. And to help build a list up in this thread becuase there is a serious lack of Block codes for this portal.

Thanks!

I can't find this mod/hack. This thread starts with post 2. Has it been deleted or moved? Please help
