I'm not terribly sure why the automated system has taken me here to make a request for access to the restricted areas of the board, but so be it. Hopefully, this will find its way to the proper individual, though I'm not smart enough to figure out why a simple email wouldn't suffice for a request that doesn't require it being public. No problem doing it this way, but I just don't get it.

I'm trying my best man. If you can tell me exactly how to get to that then I will make the changes. I'm sorry man for my tone, but i'm not used to people speaking so harshly at me for an honest mistake. Remarks about banning and other posts tonight have really kinda wore on me because I feel like I'm being treated as if i'm maliciously doing this stuff.

Anyway, walk me through how to do this, because I honestly dont see how too. I went into my forum admins, but couldnt find the line to make the change in footer and I didnt see anything under the vbhomepage.

Let me know and Ill do it.

btw if you can tell me where in the home_footer and what exactly I need to put that will speed this process up. Thx

Is supposed to be this way. Unlicensed users cannot post to this thread, so is our way to make sure you paid money for your vBulletin license. ;)

You have no idea how many users did this to us. Please don't take it personally.
Some of the users are plain crooks and you are not one of them, but an honest guy who want to learn more related to this script. That's the only reason I help you, because most of the time I only offer support to licensed members onto our forums.

About the template, let's do it toghether. :)
1. Open the home_footer template:
Admin CP > Templates > Modify > [expand list]
Home Page Templates [expand] > home_footer [change original]

2. Find this code:
Replace it with:
That should make it visible. Please post here when fixed so I can grant you access to the forums.

Cheers.

Thanks for understanding Teck. I can only imagine how often you guys are taken advantage of regarding this stuff. Thank you for getting me that code. I have made the change, and it is now showing. :)

I upgraded your member status. Welcome to our community Roody.
I saw one little thing, maybe you should also make visible your own copyright? Is black now, you can only see the vbHome one but not yours.
Cheers.

Temporary while I get this thing totally set up, but it's looking good already. Saw a thread for missing article body, but still can't see that and would like the archive mod too.

Thanks for the hard work Teck!

Just a quick question.. Is there a vBhome as suposed to vBhome Lite?

if so whats the difference tween the two?

Thanks

whoa thanks for catching that. i didnt even realize. where do I go to make that change also?

It seems you can only install this on the root folder and not on a testsite?

Which files need to be updated so I can fully test this on a testsite instead of the main site?

Rename the vbHL index.php to home.php to test it, is the easiest way. :)
You can also test it onto a test forum, but you have to edit some variables inside the files.

You have to update your URL in your profile (at TW.com), then a team member will grant you access.

done

Ok I think I might have nailed the problem...

The message boards MUST be in this format??

www.foo.com homepage
www.foo.com/forums for the forums

this may be the problem with my header/footer...

ok here's what we've done with ours so far, the board has just been through a makeover and re-opened, so it's still going through some fine tuning.

usernmae = base

Problem solved...

You must have your forums structured as such:

homepage:
www.foo.com

forums:
www.foo.com/forums

I think that should be one of the very first lines in the readme.

rerequest access.

base, very nice site... all users complying with the rules and regulations were granted access to the restricted forums.
limey, you need to follow the steps in order, then it will be ok. When you arrive at the upload part it explains to you how to upload it...
Normally the best way is to read first the hole instructions page so you get a grasp of the procedure...

Add me to the restricted area, please. Thank you.

I've installed VH Lite but am told that I have sql errors, as in:

---

Database error in vbHome 2.2.5:

Invalid SQL:

What version of vBulletin must I be running for the current version of Lite to work?

Did you search the thread related to this error? More exacly, you searched for:
[high]SELECT COUNT(*) AS total[/high] ?
vbHL will work in any 2.2.x version, as stated in the thread title.

I haven't tried to do any programming/debugging on the thing yet, as I'm not a php programmer. This is simply the message that comes up immediately when, having installed Home Lite according to the readme.html, I load up the index.php file in my browser.

Dennis, try searching for the highlighted text, in this thread.
It will display you the same question you asked several times. :)

The answer is there, I think I posted the solution about a dozen of times...

Ah, okay. I thought you meant to search the thread indicated in the sql statement, not this thread.

Problem resolved. Thanks.

Now, though, while the News articles are displaying fine in descending order by date the Latest Forum Discussions don't show anything newer than two years ago(!). I've run the indexing, etc. Has this one been covered hereabouts, and what terms should I search for?

[high]Search Engine Indexer Add-On Released![/high]

This is the first official add-on for vbHome (lite).
While searching for a solution to index all my threads onto any search engine, I came across this great tutorial.
That's how the [high]Search Engine Indexer Add-On[/high] idea was born.
After 5 hours of hard coding and testing onto my site, the script was finalized and considered as bug free.
The script uses only 7-12 queries, depending on what page you view.

Some of it's cool features are:
- forums architecture followed
- navigation bar
- multiple pages, so you will not display 4859 threads in one page
- template based, so you can edit it's look easy
- installer included

You will ask: So what the script does?
It makes all your forum URL's as search engine friendly, so they can be easy indexed by all search engines.
For a live demo, click here.

If you are a licensed member, grab your copy here.
I also posted a good tutorial with tips and tricks on how to add properly your link to any major search engine.
Read more here.

Sounds nice Floren - but does it add 7-12 queries on every page?

Did you looked at the demo? At the bottom you will see the queries usage...

Oh so the archive is the search indexer - this is an excellent add-on buddy :)

Does it need vbhome_lite to work?

Yes.
