DOAH!!!! He gave me his address and I did not even look at it. He had spelled out the word DOT for the email and thus it was not found! BONK

THANKS!

And yes, he said he is more than happy to help with this without $. But I did offer for I do know a persons time is worth it. Esp for a one on one help session.

THANKS!

No problem

I hope it works out for you... Floren is one of the kindest people here :p

Use Windows Messenger, if you have XP in your PC. It will work, that's what I use.

I got the same error messages, word for word other than paths of course, after install. What did you do to fix it?

(I currently have the hack uninstalled so I can work on other things, so it is not available to view. Let me know if I should reinstall so the error messages can be viewed.)

Also, FYI, someone else owns the forum in question, but I was the owner of the now defunct http://digitalfumes.com/tus game site, on which I had my own, still valid, copy of vbulletin.)

Thanks.

I got that error ^ and it turned out I forget to upload my global.php or something.

Make sure all your files are uploaded

I figured it out. Aside from me being an idiot there are no problems to report.

Thanks for the reply.

BTW - what was the fix for problem in post 2341-2347? I'm having the same problem

Set the proper style in your vbHome Page Options, or enable Multiple Styles, if you cannot identify the default style you use, for your board.

Requesting access to TeckWizards boards...

Thanks.

Double post, sorry.

Was that for me?

I only have the default style, which I assume is 1. And I enabled multiple styles to see if that helps, but it didn't. Still get those little red boxes,

They point thru {imageshome} and I have set imageshome to forums/images.

What did I miss?

Getting alot of good feedback from my users on the new homepage, Thanks.

I already fixed your problem in the support ticket. Is because you set the wrong style.
Normally on a new board the styleid is 1. For some reason, in your board is 5, so I changed the id to 5 and it's working perfectly everything.

TECK is God :laugh:

Got it set up with no problems on my test board :) Nice job! You might want to document a little better how to add polls, however, it took me quite a while to figure it out.

Hello guys!!
I have a quick question(Ok, a quick stupid question..hehe). I want to install vbhome for my webpage, but not my main page. For example, my main page is www.2darkpark.com but i want to use vbhome for www.2darkpark.com/swg/. Is this possible? I want to make our 'star wars galaxies' clan page with vbhome.

Or do I have to use a subdomain, such as baptizer.2darkpark.com? Would implementing vbhome have any effect on the appearance of my forum?
Any help would be appreciated!!

EDIT: Ok, i created a subdomain swgclan.2darkpark.com. But i am getting the following error:

Warning: Failed opening './testvbulletin/admin/config.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/xxx/public_html/swgclan/global.php on line 164

Warning: Failed opening './testvbulletin/admin/db_.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/xxx/public_html/swgclan/global.php on line 171

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: db_sql_vb in /home/xxx/public_html/swgclan/global.php on line 172

in the global.php file, i set it correctly:
$adminpath = 'testvbulletin/admin';

Any ideas on any of the questions i have asked? :(

is it possible to have the welcome pannel (hello :username) and the Latest Forum Discussions in their own templates.

one of the things i like about this hack it's it's so customizable, it would be better i think, we're ALL of the side boxes in templates and and if all are on/off operational.

apart from that, this is one of the best hacks of it's type, as a vbportal user, this is so refreshing.
:laugh:

Baptizer: please search the thread
base: they are in their own templates

HI Teck..
i did search the thread...noticed two people had the same problem. One person you had an active conversation with, then suggested that he put the files into the wrong folder. He never wrote back after that.......also, i have my files in the correct folder.

The other person who had the problem claimed he forgot to upload a file. I verified everything three times, and it is exactly as you mentioned it in your readme.

Might it have something to do with me using a subdomain? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for trying to help!



EDIT:
interesting, now my forum seems to be down as well: http://www.2darkpark.com/testvbulletin/
any idea what might be causing both that and the vbhome page(which is http://swgclan.2darkpark.com ) to display this error?

What is your $adminpath line looking like?
Also, what is the URL for your official forum and your vbHome page?

Hi, here is what i have:

in the global.php file, i set it correctly:
$adminpath = 'testvbulletin/admin';

I wonder what is going on......*cries* heh I can still access the admin cpanel though.....sigh. Thanks for trying to work on this with me, it means a lot!


EDIT:
my official page is: www.2darkpark.com
my official forums are: www.2darkpark.com/vbulletin

the place i wanted to add the vbHome at is:
the page: http://swgclan.2darkpark.com
the forum i was using to set it up for testing: www.2darkpark.com/testvbulletin

Is because your actual test forums don't work.
Try:
$adminpath = 'vbulletin/admin';

It will work.

The test forums did work before I installed this.

Obviously, I will have to apply all the changes to the vbulletin/admin files though, correct? I wanted to avoid doing this for a few reasons(basically so i dont screw something up, like i apprently did to my test forums..)

Also, wouldnt there be some sort of error on my test forums? I mean, the error that is showing is related to vbhome.

vbHome does not interact at all with vBulletin, but only with it's database, so it will not screw in any way your forums.
Did you take the time to read carefully the readme file (every word of it)? So you understand how to upload and edit all the files properly?
I'm sure you overwritten the forums global.php file. I might be wrong.
Please give precise details related to your install, what folder you uploaded the vbHL files, etc.

The script works without a hinch if you read the readme file properly.

Teck:
that is probably what I did: not paying attention, i probably overwrote a file. Sigh. I am going to go verify this now...


Edit: yep, you were right...i fixed the testforum problem. Now just need to hammer out this other problem. Considering i messed up bigtime on that, I am going to guess that you think i messed up somewhere else...hehehe.... :) i guess ill take another peeeeky!

Don't worry. :)
Please take the time to read the readme file, it will help you more then you think because everything is well explained there (that's why is so long).

That is why i was soo surprised it didnt work: Cause the readme file is so excellent and i 'thought' i followed it exactly. There were some slight problems with my test board before i did this, so maybe that has something to do with it too. I am going to just rebuild my test board and then try reinstalling! Thanks for offering such great support!

Need access to your vbHome licensed area.
"kthx"

Hi Teck:
I went ahead and created a brand new test bulletin and I am still having the same problem. Do you think it has something to do with me using a subdomain and not my main homepage? I am quite confused :(

Your directions specifically say:
I am not uploading the files into the root folder. Instead, i am uploading them to a subfolder of the root folder. Is this why? and if so, any idea if this is possible?

PS: I am certain i followed the steps....I had my girlfriend go through them with me to verify! :)

I have been told to request access to restricted area forums here via the teckwizards.com web site. Thanks!

As long as you manage to point to the right location of your vBulletin files, using the $adminpath variable, it will work.

Hi Teck:

So what I am about to describe is possible:
-I want to keep my main front page
-I want to keep my main forums
-I want to make a front page for my clan page that uses vblhome with the main forums. However, I do not want to use vblhome for my main front page.

Currently I am just using the test forum. Once i get it to work, i will then use my main forum. I definitely have it pointing to my testvbulletin files.....

Hmm, i am clueless. Obviously it is not your product that is giving me a problem, rather than what I want to do with it(your product is a 100% success from reading all the great comments in this thread)

EDIT:
Could the problem be that it is looking for the testvbulletin files inside the swgclan folder(considering the global.php and index.php are suppose to be in the root folder)? for example:
-its looking for /swgclan/testvbulletin/admin
-when it really is /testvbulletin/admin

My adminpath is:
$adminpath = 'testvbulletin/admin';

EDIT 2:
That is exactly the problem. The adminpath is an extension of the folder i am in. I just made some dummy files and put them ingo the /swgclan/ directory and the error was gone. Obviously this doesnt fix it, but definitley helps out.

How do i set the adminpath to go back a folder, and then to testvbulletin/admin?

---[root clan.php (your vbHL index file) and global.php
------[testvbulletin
---------[admin

Is the easiest way arround.

Ok, ill try that! Didnt know i could rename the index.php file to anything i wanted(figure there would be problems).

Darn, this is what i get:
http://www.2darkpark.com/clan.php

Now THAT I dont understand...*shrugs* The mystery continues!

You can rename the index.php to 300 files if you want:
- index.php (main page)
- clan.php
- hotstuff.php etc

They will all work fine. If you want to use specific forums for each file, simply add this line:
$articleforum = '15, 32, 48';

right after:
include_once( './global.php' );

in your index.php file.

Judging by my error, however, it is now looking for this file, which doesnt exist:

there is no such file as http://www.2darkpark.com/testvbulletin/clan.php

it doesn't see the $articleforum:
WHERE dateline>1041628715 AND forumid IN( [high]here you should have your forums[/high] )

In other words, change at least one vbHL option and save the changes in your vBulletin options, so it will cache the variables. Do it and you will see it will work.
Or use my trick posted above related to $articleforum line, if you want to use multiple files...

Hey, I told you to use the root folder system I posted above...
Do not upload all vbHL files into the darn /testvbulletin folder, unless you edit all vbHL files to match that location.

---[root clan.php (your vbHL index file) and global.php
------[testvbulletin
---------[admin

This was posted just few posts above, but it looks like you don't want to listen to me.

*BLUSHES*
Perfect, my friend! Perfect! It seems to be working now! I owe you a big thanks for helping me through my problem. It must be frustrating trying to explain such rudimentary things to someone like me :)

A big thanks, again! I will soon be buggin you for access to teckwizards as well. I am soo happy now :)



edit: i was listening :( i did use the root folder system.....that is where that error was being generated from. I would NEVER upload the files into the vbulletin folder!

Don't worry, but please read the posts. It will save time for both of us.
Cheers.
