You can use the code from any 2.2.x version of vB, just make sure you copy between the lines indicated in the ReadMe file.

For some reason vBhacker seems to be very buggy, you should add:

After the line you posted above.

For 2.0.1 in the usergroup settings.

Teck: Because I've never run into a problem like this before. I currently have 60 hacks running on my board - I can handle that, but I'm not too hot with SQL.

NTLDR: It did run correctly, I checked in phpMyAdmin.

I do though have the same problem as Satan had earlier, where no news text is shown on OLD news posts, I made a new one to test and it all appears correctly. I ran the script you posted here in the admin folder, it seemed to process some posts but then I got the following SQL error.

Also, when I tried to post something in the Shoutbox on the vBindex page, it tries to go to a page named vbibeta.php. I resolved this by replacing vbibeta.php with $bburl/shoutbox.php in the home_postshout template. But how do I make the vBindex come back to the main page after a shout is posted? The smilies in the vBindex Shoutbox also don't use the correct URL so none of them show up.

It might also be a good idea to state in the instructions that people using vBindex outside of the forums folder shout change their' imagesfolder replacement to the full URL [this doesn't though, fix the Shoutbox smilie problem].

Just run the other queries as instructed above ;)

I have used this on a board with 1,741 threads without a problem, for some reason threadid 34 doesn't seem to be able to get the postid of the first post within that thread.

vbibeta.php was what I had the file called on my test install, replace it with the name of your vbindex.php file to correct this problem.

I think this is already included if not it will be added for the Final Release along with a list of other templates that require editing if used outside the forums directory.

I have whiped out everything and reinstalled. I have vbindex working GREAT with the vBulletin default style set. I add a new style set and lose parts the header background and menu bars on the vbindex page.

Parts of the Stlye ( Welcome ) on the news banner. But the background and menu items do not. The Welcome above NEWS is part of the New Style set and pulling from the right sub-directory.

I have ask this question a few times and I have received any information that would help solve this issue

Please help me fix this, DSS TV LIVE is in need of this type of front end and we need to be able to allow the user to pick between different style sets.

You header for the platinum style uses different names (not the default vB ones) for the images at the top. Copy the contents of your header template into the home_header template and then the images will load.

For the broken icon image for the news title you need to add icon0.gif into your platium style's icons folder. icon0.gif can be found in the vBulletin zip file.

what home_header?

home_header is the template ontherun needs to edit for the styles that arn't displaying correctly.

NTLDR,

I know you said this a couple times to me but it took a all night'r to figure out what you where tring to tell me.

Its so easy once I started Expanding everything.

THANK YOU --------------- And I say that with high respect for you and your work.

So how do I get around this? Delete the problematic thread? If so how do I find out which one it is?

This is the thread that is causing problems:
http://www.gamerforums.com/board/sho...hp?threadid=34

All I can suggest is deleting it as I can't see any reason why the script isn't geting the postid for it.
