Attroll - That's strange that it would be giving you an error like that for the weather part. I know one other person was having a similar problem before and we never could figure out why. Double check that the file was uploaded to your forums/admin folder and that you are going to the right url in your browser. If it still doesn't work for you let me know and I will post a file here with the queries so you could run the queries through phpMyAdmin instead.
As for the calendar, that should work correctly and highlight the current date according to the time that is set in your Admin CP. I just checked your site and it has the correct date highlighted. If you're still having problems with it though let me know and I'll try to figure out what's wrong.


Colon33 - Are you running vBulletin 2.2.5 or lower? That's a function that was apparently changed in 2.2.6, and that's the lowest version I've had to test it with. For the time being, I believe you could remove this code from your myvbindex.php file:
However, that will not check the cookie on people's computer to check if they have voted on the poll or not, so it would make it a little easier for people to vote more than once if they wanted to. If someone could email me (brian@plurplanet.com) their admin/functions.php file from v2.2.5 I could take a look there to find out what the function was changed from and post a fix for those users.

Mono - Thanks for installing the hack. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Actually, this may work too for the cookie function problem. This is the function from 2.2.9, so if it was added in it should fix the problem. Just open your myvbindex.php file and look for:

require('./global.php');

Right below that Add:
Let me know if that works. :)

I would like to replace the News part on the front page with just the forums.. so that way you have the forums with the info boxes on the left and the right..
Is this possible to do?

Hi there,

Nice Hack, it's working great here.

Is it possible to prevent the latest forums topics portion from showing threads that they do no have access to. Sometimes the subject of the message gives information you don't want the whole board to see.

Do you have to use Action for this? can you call it whatever you want?

This is the error:

this is my vbindex file:
on the require ('./global.php'); bit i dont know why there is a there

but If i change to
i get this error
instead of

ok the chdir bit is sorted, its the global bit i still have a problem with

OK, I have a question about the whole action= thing.

Whenever u put action="pagename" can u make that the template name. so then i would not have to make an if then statement for each page i make. so if i type:
myvbindex.php?action="templatename" then the template would come up.

Am i explaining this right?

I can't edit the thread, check ip or warn as it keep showing the same postid. Every time I click edit my post or someone else post it goes and edit the first thread. Goto the thread below and you will know what I am talking about.

TotlKaos - Yes, that would be possible with a bit of hacking. I'll test it out and try to post instructions on what you would change a little later.


Tankmech - Private topics in the latest threads part are only visible to those who have permission to view them. If you log out or log in as a user that does not have access to those forums, those threads should not be visible. If they are still visible, you should make sure your forum permissions are set so that those usergroups are not allowed to see other's threads in that forum.


Matrix - Yes, you should be able to change "action" to pretty much whatever you would like. It would just need to be changed in the code and the url. Just adding templates alone would not work though. If you wanted to have more than one seperate page like that, you would need to add something like this:

Then if you wanted more than 3 different templates that could be pulled in place of the news, you would just add another elseif statement in there before the else part at the end.


KeneticKangaroo - The path to your fourms should be /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/airwavescomms.co.uk/httpdocs/forums and you should not have changed the require part.


certify - That wouldn't have anything to do with this hack. It looks like something has been messed up either in the code or your postbit template. The best thing I can suggest is for you to make a backup of your postbit template and then revert it to it's original to see if that's where the problem is. If that doesn't work, you should try uploading an unhacked version of your admin/functions.php and/or showthread.php files. The problem would most likely be in that template or one of those files.
