Excellent hack, installed no probs A++++ Check it out at http://www.boogle.org.uk.

Found it very easy to customise, hoping to get a new skin on it over the weekend.

WELL DONE!

Units - Please check post #634 in this thread. If that doesn't help let me know.


Prophet2002 - If you'll open your myvbindex.php file and look for this line:
Replace that with:
Replace XX there with the forum id that you do not want to appear in the latest threads.


mforster - Thank you. Hope you enjoy the hack. :)

you are the man PP, thx for the info.:D

attempted to use this Hack ... looks good ...

But going through the install I found that in the step to edit the pages ..

(Q1)
Step 3 - File Modifications

Find:
'1')");

Replace it with:
'1','Y')");

I could not find this in my file.

(Q2)
In step 2, was I supposed to clear out all the data in those templates and replace with the data in the instructions?

(Q3)
I can't seem to log out of my Forums now.

Any help would be appreciated ... thanks

1. What version of vBulletin are you running? Unless you have another hack that's changed that part of the file, that code should be just a couple of lines below the first line you edited.

2. For the first 2 template mods, yes. For the 3rd one you are only supposed to change the link to point to the full url to your forums.

3. Did you set the Cookie Domain to .yoursite.com as instructed in the install file? Also be sure your Cookie Path (the option right under the Cookie Domain) is set to /

Ok figured out my first question, but still need on the other two. Thanks

Ok when i tried both of these, it gave the error, but still created the thread, but didnt have the body of the message in it ..

Also any new post I put in an existing thread seems to clean that thread ...

You didn't edit the newthread.php file correctly and make the 2nd change listed in the install file.

I found a problem in latest threads. Basically if you have a forum such as a moderator forum where you want the forum visible on the board yet restricted so that only mods can get in. I have such a forum and the thread topics are showing up in the myvbindex latest thread table even when the permissions such as for guest say you cannot see in that folder. I know if I make this a private forum the thread topics will not show but I do not want to make the forum private because it will disapear. I really do not want others that cannot get into the mod forum to see what the thread topics are. Is their anything i can do to change this?

This is answered about 5 or so posts up in post #642.

Just make sure that you change the XX to the forum that you do not want to show in your latest threads list.

Also, there is a typo in the post. fourmid should be forumid. :D

HTH,
