youd have to manually edit the php functions to gather the required files

that didnt work m8 just made it worst, just trying to insert a nav bar in the custome1 but dont seen to work

here was my post so you all understand what last post was about

The changes i have done dont seem to be the problem as i have reverted all them plates.

can some have a look at my homepage, also can i just run the install script again and over write it all???

http://learnall-forum.com

I installed this and its working great. However, what I want to do is include the output produced by this page into a part of my home page. I tried two things

1) include the file with the

<?php
$included_file = "$page.txt";
?>

2) Cutting'n'Pasting the contents of adv_index.php into my current home page where I need the output.

Unfortunately, both of these results in the following error:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/tbreak/public_html/index1.php
Line: 16

If I access the adv_index.php by itself- it shows up just fine. I tried removing all the meta tags from the templates for adv_index, but still get the cookie error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What happens to the main page when the forums are turned off for maintenance?

Can you be more specific?

Thanks

Well if the board is down can you still login on the vbadvanced main page or be seen by the system as 'logged in'.

Thanks

i dont belive you can correctly include your page.txt that way



if you get that its beclause there is somthing happening after ?> or before <?php


the front page will be down as well, if your the admin you will see it as online


not really i dont use photopost so i wouldnt know where to start, sorry

Well, the funny thing is that the output produced by the script works great at times and not at others. I mean, you see the output on my home page and then do a refresh and that cookie thing appears and then again a couple of rerfeshes later, I can see the output.

Really weird!

Blackbeard - Try removing that quote from your first news post, or changing the Max News Characters to a higher number so that the closing quote tag will be included. That error is being caused because the quote table is never closed. It's strange that this seems to be such an issue with this script, but I can't think of one complaint with the vB2 version (myvbindex). I may have to add some code that will close the quote since this seems to be an issue affecting so many people now.

Abbas - Can you show me the file that you're trying to include this script with?

Thanks removing the quote worked.

Sure- Let me see if I can attach files in a PM and I'll send it across

Thanks!

Just a tiny tidbit, not important really, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Heh. I spent an hour puzzling over why the gradients weren't working, on the pkg default theme and that was because you need to go through the css and full path the background image attributes.

Love the hack, btw - fab job. :)

Tigga i realy would like you to look at this: http://cutephp.com/ :)

It's a fantastic free news script with a lot of options such as xml/rss feeds. It can display 5 headlines in a sideblock and when you click on it (i haven't figured out how they do that) the news can be displayed in a centerblock above the forum newsitems for example. What's great is the quick comment system beneath the newsitems. Visitors can read the news and react. I hope someone can let this work togheter with this portal. You can share the news with other sites trough rss.

vB has built in RSS feed :) you can use that

Are you serious Faranth :D I will study it. I've looked quite some time for a way to catch headlines in a sideblock to display the content in a centerblock. :(

you need to enable it in vBulletin ACP options but yes, RSS JS and somthing else if memory serves

so far i have looked into both vbindex and vbadvanced homepage.. i am leaning towards this one a bit more than the other as it looks like it gives a bit more functionality with minimal queries..

right now i run vb2.3.3 with the calendar patch for 2.3.4 and a vbportal front-end.. they have no estimated time for release yet for vbportal for vb3 and i am not sure if i want to stick with it anymore.. but it does offer a more thorough solution to what i need right now.. but in the way of a portal solution, here is what i would like to see, and i am not sure if these things will be added, have been thought of, or are even considered an option at a later date:

a seperate admin section for the portal aside from it being within the adminCP..

a reviews section to rate certain things that pertain to what is relative on the site itself with user submitted reviews that have to be approved by a mod, smod or admin..

an uploads/downloads section.. the uploads use pfp ftp instead of relying on the php.ini.. once a user/member uploads a file, a mod, smod or admin approves the upload and then creates a link for it, moves it to a proper DL file location via a file manager based system, and the link is then posted in a DL section only registered users and higher being allowed to DL.. (there is a secure downloads deal, but the guy is so slow in updating anything with it that many of us from vbportal are tired of asking, although he says his new version will do most of what i ask, if it is ever released).. as well as a rating system for the downloads..

a links section to allow for member based link submission and a rating system is allowed for the links as they relate to the relevance of the site the links reside on..

the ability to easily create sideblocks, centerblocks and additional content for the sites front end.. almost a nuke style blocks system.. although i am not too keen on the nuke style, you can't really beat it in its ease of use..

that's all i can think of for now.. i would say a gallery, but i already have a license for photopost.. and i would by a license for reviewpost for the review section.. but i just can't bring myself to purchasing something like that right now since i am so short of bread the way it is..

now i know that's a lot.. and i am by no means a vbulletin hacker/guru/know-it-all.. but i am very interested in a more robust DL section for sites such as mine that offer DL's to their members.. something like i mentioned above for the upload bit and working similar to paFileDB for the download bit.. but i am very willing to offer help in anyway necessary.. i have looked for solutions and studies on some stuff Dark_Wizard has done as well as Erwin and several others.. will do whatever it takes to make a really good DL hack/add-on.. but would like to see it integrated with a nice portal system, and vbadvanced homepage looks like a very good portal based front end for such a DL type add-on.. if anyone is interested in such a deal and would like to help me do such a task, please contact me.. but bare in mind, i am a beginner.. if you are doing something like thisTigga or are interested, let me know.. be glad to do whatever i can..

i also think i saw wayne luke mention vbulletin was working on a cms.. anyone know much about that? nd sorry for asking that in this thread..

Tigga, very quality work.. i believe faranth helped as well.. nice job.. well done..

13th_Disciple - I'm actually working on scripts for most everything you mentioned. Though they won't be free, they will be relatively inexpensive. Hopefully some of them will be available on vbadvanced.com shortly after I get that site launched. ;)

Just installed this. Looks great!

I did have one question though, the post icons are showing up as broken links, even though they do have the full, correct paths shown in the AdminCP (and they showed correctly during the install of this mod, where it changes the paths for you.)

In AdminCP, on the Post Icon manager, the path to each image is:

For example: http://www.fireblades.org/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif

But on the home page, the broken image properties shows:

http://www.fireblades.org/images/icons/icon1.gif

(I did hard-code /forums/image/etc in my Style too, btw.)

Any ideas of what I may have missed?

Try modifying one of your icons in the Admin CP. You don't have to actually change anything, just save it. The icon cache needs to be updated which is something I missed when writing the install file. ;)

Yep, that fixed it. But, I decided I liked the way it looked without them turned on anyway. :D

I found a bug, I think.

I have vb set to notify me of a new PM with a pop-up. If I'm on the vBadvanced page and get the pop-up, it tries to send me to private.php in the root of my site instead of in the /forums directory.

good to hear that Tigga.. I am actually not too far away from you.. i live in Georgia as well.. anyway.. would be good to know a bit more info as i have to make a decision soon.. my vbportal subscription runs out the end of this month and i need to make a decision to renew that subscription or move on to something that will give me as much if not more site based and admin based functionality..

if you could maybe tell me how to speak to you outside of the forums.. i am an IRC regular, and i have ICQ.. i am by no means asking for support or for my requests to be talked about, i am just wanting to know a bit more about what you are thinking as it pertains to what i have mentioned and what your response was.. also, if you are going to charge for anything, i would like to speak to you about that as well..

if you have a few minutes, let me know how best to reach you outside of the vb.org forums.. thanks..

Im going to run my whole website(50+ pages) through your portal (adv_index.php?page=xxx) and was wondering if i should start adding pages now or if the next time you upgrade the portal i would have to re-start the pages.... in other words should i start building my site through the portal or should i wait for the "gold" version to be released?
thanks

i can tell you from persoanl and friends expirence that vBportal is one of the worst addons to vBulletin there is, it can seen querry loads sky high >.<

ConqSoft - Are you running the most receint version of the script? There's some code in the file that should add your forum's URL in front of private.php. Have you modified your "pm_popup_script" template at all?

13th_Disciple - I'm hoping to have vBadvanced.com up within the next couple of days to start providing better support, add-ons, and etc for this script. Then I'm hoping to have the links directory up within a week or two, and the other scripts to follow... I can't really give any estimate on time for the others right now, and I'm not sure what order they will be available in. I don't really use IRC or ICQ, so the best way to contact me would be through email. If you'd like to email me at brian@plurplanet.com I'll gladly try to answer any questions you have.

AshAbed - You can go ahead and start making as many pages as you'd like - None of them will be lost in any upgrades. ;)

Tigga check your email

I'm trying to build custom templates named index_template or whatever and when I try to load them with the ?page=template I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: parse_bbcode() in /www/htdocs/index.php on line 555

[EDIT]

Never mind, a little searching and I found the answer here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=53

I just downloaded your script yesterday from this thread, so I assume it's the most recent?

No modifications to pm_popup_script that I'm aware of.

Can you tell me the changes that are made so I can make them manually?

Thanks

Faranth - You're going to kill me, but can you resend that email? I was messing with some stuff on my server yesterday and accidentally set my quota for plurplanet way too low, so I think I missed a few emails that were sent then. I received a few that were sent durning that time, but nothing from you...

ConqSoft - That's odd... I double checked and it works fine on my localhost, but not on your site... Did you maybe replace $index_footer with $footer in your index template?

Yep, I did. $header and $footer since I'm sharing those throughout the site.

Then that would be your problem. Try putting $index_footer back in there and just modify that template to your needs. ;)

No other way around it? I don't like having multiple versions of the same stuff spread everywhere. :(

its not that big of a deal just copy your header template into index header :) its done so you dont have to have a bloated version of one :)

yes ill resend the email :)

Open adv_index.php and find:

$index_footer .= str_replace

Replace that with:

$footer .= str_replace

And that should fix it. :)

and i can tell you faranth that you and your friends are correct.. my index page hase over 80 queries alone.. and that's with me backing off on a few things.. i received the email notification of my premium membership expiring there, and i believe i am going to let it go..

tigga, will email you shortly.. and thanks for the email info..

for anyone who cares my site's vBadvanced has returned :)

Just installed this hack and it installed without any errors or anything. Now here is my question. My mainpage is at www.vorspann.net, my forums are at http://forums.vorspann.net now I am wondering how I get this content to show on my main page? Everything seems to be working now I just need to know how I implement this content to work with my main standard HTML page?
