I've started having a problem on my board and I noticed it shortly after I installed this last night... I **DO NOT** think it is from installing this hack - as I stated earlier, I've installed a number of hacks in the past few days... I simply didn't see the problem until last night after doing this and the problem is intermittent enough that I well could have had it for some time before that and not known it... (just wanted to make that clear so I don't ruffle any feathers..)

I'm re-posting a post I made in another place on the forum here... My question is this - are any of the changes made potentally able to cause something like this? I notice that one thing that is more likely to cause it is going into a forum - if I stay out of a forum I'm more likely to be ok - and the forum has the option to have the stories...

REPOST - I've seen lots of threads with similar issues; different people seem to have similar issues but each seem to be a little different but there are common threads...

I had to rebuild my board from scratch - my wife accidently wiped out her site and in the process wiped out 3 of my domains both on my hosting server and on my server at home.... So I installed 2.2.6... For the first 2 days, things were normal.... I noticed though that I would have to log in every now and then when going from one page on the board to another...

It seems that sometimes I'll go through a period of time when I'll have to log back in every single time I change views on the board... Doesn't matter what browser I use... (opera, ie5.5, netscape4.79, netscape7.0[not the preview release, but a daily build], netscape 6.2.3 or mozilla 1.0 final).... killing disk and memory cache, cookies, history or even switching to a virgin machine makes no difference... switching to a different test account fixes problem...

Build several test accounts... Some have problem, some don't... problem comes and goes... will work fine for awhile then not....

question - possible that having same username on different vB boards a problem?

anyone have a solution? 2.2.6, using a host that has worked fine in past... board not usable....

I picked a large number 90 & replaced the 32 in all the queries with 90.

I changed the gmt time setting in the vb options page last night... after doing so, I didn't have any problems for 2 straight hours... That may have been the problem, even though it never has before...

Any news?

Yeah... I still can't see the administrator options in the CP, but in one of my admin only forums, I have the news working!

Hey, great hack, and super easy to do.

only one thing, is it possible for oyu to add a way for us to make our own news things? Cause that would make my anouncements forum so much better if i could make them news articles, and then use the forum for just chat about our own news.

I am kinda new to forum stuff. How can I do the last step for the database thing? :o

From where? I am using xp. Can anyone give me detail instructions, cuz I am pretty new to this stuff. Thanks!

JJ, I'm wondering how customizable this hack is. I run a comic book news site, and I'd like to have the latest articles from the news/features/reviews forums to be displayed on the forum homepage, kind of like what vbPortals does for its own front page but with the addition of a ticker as well.

Please mind my ignorance of PHP coding, but would it be possible to modify this hack to do that, or would that require a completely different hack?

I have this installed, but I'm not seeing any news in any forums where I have a news catagory selected.

Thanks!

I tried installing this today, everything went smoothly except I have one problem. I can't actually post news. How do I do that? I'm not sure if I imported the sources.sql right. To make sure can anyone tell me how? Everything else is done like it should be. Everything is working except I don't know how to make news. Someone please help me.
