Yes, I have seen that.
But I see that a lot of members here have the vbindex installed, and maybe could help me?

I think you'll find most members use "vBadvanced CMPS" now seeing as that's the most suported portal now over on the vBadvanced site. Take it from me there is "NO" support for this as such anymore since the author left and the Core forums went offline.

But if you want to stick with using it, that's up to you. I'm just trying to let you know you'd be better of using vb cmps now to save you a lot of time ands effort. As it have the features this has and more.

But I suppose it will be hell to remove vbindex to switch to the other portal. Can I run them both?

I cannot find an unistaller in the vbindex package.

I think there is an option to remove the portal from your site when you run the installer

Thanks, I will think about this. I am happy with yhe vbindex, but if i dont crack how to edit the customfield, I will consider uninstalling.

:)

OK this has probably been asked before, but there is 161 pages to this :p, Is it possible to change this mod so it appears on login, or be the first page that they see, then they press forums and go to the original section.

Oh and nice MOD (y)

That is no problem, but it is not the hack you need to change. You have til either rename the portal mainpage to index in your root, or you can point your domain to the www.yourdomain.com/portal.php

My page is like that, but at the moment with only a redirect.

http://www.dinklikk.com/ :)

does this vbindex work on vB3.5 ?

Thanks, I'll try, redirecting first.

Have tried everything, can't figure out where I'm going wrong...

When I try to load this page: http://www.armywivesforums.com/vbindex.php

I get this

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 144

Warning: main(.global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 145

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '.global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 145

Lines 144 &145 are:

chdir(CHDIR_PATH);
require_once('./global'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);


The portion of vbiconfig I edited was exactly this, copy and pasted:

// enter the path to your forums here that you were given during the// install processdefine('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/awforums/public_html/forums');


I've searched this whole thread and the only advice I can see is to try to comment out the chdir(). I am very new to this, and can only imagine that means to enter /home/awforums/public_html/forums here: chdir(/home/awforums/public_html/forums)

When I do that, I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '/', expecting ')' in /home/awforums/public_html/vbindex.php on line 144

:ermm:

I've stared at this trying different variations for about 3 hours now. This is my last hope, and I could really use any help anyone has to give me.

Ya, DOES vBindex work on 3.5? I'm having hell trying to add a shoutbox to cmps, and have used vBindex for a long time, not to mention cmps doesn't have a 'random' poll deal where it goes through a list of polls and randomly displays ones the users haven't voted on. WHereas vBindex does...

vbindex sorta works with 3.5 but a couple of fixes need to be made... look forward to 3.5 compatible full vbindex!

no it does not work properly on vb3.5 .. it should be ported over soon...

Thanks a lot, this was very helpful on my site and i will work on adding links tonight!
This is my site with vbindex:
http://www.dinklikk.com

Are there any fixes for vBulletin 3.5.0 released yet? :/

:) I'm looking forward to seeing the release for 3.5.0, hope it is soon? :)

Thanks,
JoeWho

I thought this was a sleek idea in April, and I still do! :D

Any insight on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated.

My list users today online in my custom box is too big. I need change the custom box for later "Last Treads"

that's the addition I want to install in my portal how I can do that via vbindex???

I will be appreciate if somebody can help me.

The creator of this hack has apparently not even been on this forum in a year. Unless someone else is going to duplicate the hack somehow, I'd say we're screwed.

Hi!

You go to admincp/templates and find one of your vbindex customblocks that is available.
Replase all of the content with this:


<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$collapseimg_vbindex_customblock.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<strong>Diverse</strong>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_vbindex_customblock$box" style="$collapseobj_vbindex_customblock">

I tested the code on my forum, and it worked fine.
After inserting into one of your customblocks, you have to go to vbulletin options/vbindex options and set active the customblock on either left og right side of your vbindexportal.

:)

mh, someone should do it because I think it's a very nice and useful hack which many users here would want to have back...

the problem is, I don't like vBAdvanced because the login isn't working and all the links redirect to the bburl variable, some browsers don't like the redirect from the bburl to the redirection of the forums, I also can't report bugs there and I'm missing my good old vBIndex shoutbox :/

NTLDR, please come back :D

Really thank you appreciate your help.

Yikes. I was looking forward to upgrading to 3.5 but my whole site is based on vbindex, so I don't know what my options are. Guess I'm stuck with the older vbulletin for a while.

I renamed my vbindex.php to index.php so that the portal is the first thing people see when they login to the domain.

HOWEVER, how do i show the forum list under the welcome box in the portal?

hello all; i have a big problem :speechless:
i install vbulletin 3.5.0 and this work fine in my windows host. but when i do install vbindex i have a get this eror:

Warning: main(.//functions_vbiupgrade.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \admincp\vbiupgrade.php on line 57

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './/functions_vbiupgrade.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\sites\Single15\mahvahost\webroot\forums\admincp \vbiupgrade.php on line 57

please help me how to solve this problem. do you install vbindex in vbulletin 3.5.0?
sorry for poor english. regards

vBIndex is not for vBulletin 3.5.x

best regards

Hi, bit rusty at this but just uploaded all the correct files to the roo and admincp directory, except the config file and getting this error after the login page:

Warning: main(.//functions_vbiupgrade.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 57

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './/functions_vbiupgrade.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/devweb/ukmonster.co.uk/user/htdocs/monster/admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 5

I've checked and double checked all the right files are there.

thanks in advance,

Stuart

I have an issue with the calendar on the main screen. It displays properly but when I click on an event, it goes to an error page "Page cannot be found." How is that possible if it's pulling the events correctly to the mini calendar?

Will this work for 3.5.3?

I uninstalled and went with the other version the component manager one. Works fine.

Is this working on vBulletin (3.5.4)???

Hey guys,
I've just upgraded my forum from 3.0.7 to 3.5.4.
vBindex ... doesn't work anymore. Is there anyway I can uninstall the old vBindex in 3.5.4 ?
I tried access the file vbiupgrade.php and it shows:

What do I have to do to uninstall , .. or make it work with 3.5.4 ?

I'm trying to get it on my site, but I'm getting an inexplicable error -

I followed the ReadMe, but I get this when I try to install;

"Warning: main(.//functions_vbiupgrade.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 57

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './/functions_vbiupgrade.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/kevinp/public_html/forums2/admincp/vbiupgrade.php on line 57"

What am I doing wrong? Please lmk, thanks :bunny:

p.s. - Its 3.5.4, just like Hoang...

Warning: main(.//functions_vbiupgrade.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /cpadmin/vbiupgrade.php on line 57

same error
vBulletin 3.5.3

i edited the vbiupgrade
Line: 57
from:
require_once('./'.$admincpdir.'/functions_vbiupgrade'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);
to:
require_once('./cpadmin/functions_vbiupgrade'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);

Then i get one step further and get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: query_first() in cpadmin/vbiupgrade.php on line 119

Yeah, I couldn't get it to work with my 3.5.4 either.

some help please? :bunny:

Is this Working on vBulletin (3.0.13)?

Yes. Just not on 3.5 or newer. For those of you who cant get vbIndex working on 3.5.x try vbPortal Advanced CPMS, it can be made to look almost identical and is a lot more configurable and easy to manage i've found.
