There is no reason I can see why it should keep sending you back to that step. All I can suggest is to run through each step manually:

Steps 1, 2 and 3 are in vbiupgrade1.php, 4 is in vbiupgrade2.php 5 and 6 are in vbiupgrade3.php and 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are in vbiupgraded.php, if you get errors its more than likly the step has already been run.

Thanks alot bro.. :)

alright, I got it now. Thanks a bunch.

Note though, each page when I manually did the steps the button was the shoutbox step and on vbiupgraded.php?step=8 the info I put into the boxes wouldnt save and brought me back to step 8 when pressing save. Dont know whats up with that.

EDIT, apparently the info did save but I was brought back to the undedited text boxes when pressing save.

Looks like everythings working fine now. *Clicks Install*

hoooray~!

just pop in to say the script working great ^O^ I have no problem installing it at all, altho we have heavily edited templates and excluding forum thing doesn't seem to work, but I guess I'll wait for final version ~_^

check out our site, http://darkroomfiction.com

Cheers~

Hi,

installed fine, no problems at all however when i tried to do the vBindex Options Link in the ACP i had a slight problem.

I have added the code as it says to however the menu does not show the new item. Its there but the drop down bit is not as low as it needs to be and so i can just see the top of the link.

hope you understand what i mean.

^ Have that problem as well.


Anyways, I have vbindex up and running perfect (as far as I know) EXCEPT I can't login from the nav bar login form. It simply takes me to the forum index page. The template has been changed to what was supplied in the zip. Have to login from a no permission or admin page.

NTLDR,

Are you using false advertisement? I goto your site at CoreForums.com and click on the XHTML logo at the bottom to check if it is compliant and this is what I get "This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!" There's a total of 26 errors, why tell someone something that it isn't?

I just finished installing your RC3 version with a fresh install of Vbulletin 3-RC2 and all has gone well so far. I just need to do the edit that adds the link to the control panel to the admincp. Including the edited templates was a great help. Thanks for a great hack.

Chas.

Btw, what do you mean in the first post here when you say "If you liked this hack, click the 'install' button...." ??

it's getting better and better - could you add the latest posts box as a scrolling JavaScript inside and <iframe> ?

Every single one of those errors is related to one of the news posts, something which I can't control, all the HTML generated in that post is done with vB's BB Code Parser, if I removed that post you should find it is Valid XHTML.

Make sure your cookie path is just '/'.

It means if you use this hack, click the install button you'll see at the top of the page :)

?? I still don't get it, I clicked the install button at your original post and it brought me to the 'smilies' page (?) Anyway, thanks again for the hack. Liking it so far.

Chas...

Odd, it should have sent you back to the thread :s Thanks for clicking it none the less :D

Is there any way of aligning the boxes on the right and making them all the same width?

Thanks

The sidebars dynamicly adjust in RC3, however you can edit the template to make it wider:

In the vbindex_side template, find:

Replace with:

This will make the right side wider iff you have the calendar enabled.

Hi, I have a question about your hack. Is there any way I can add my own, custom box to it? I run an online comic, and if I put this up on my front page I'd like to be able to link to my comic script, and put a thumb nail in with a title. is that possible? (I'm currently using RC2, and will be installing RC3 shortly)

If by comic script you mean PHP code then you would have to do some alterations as you can't use PHP code in the vBindex templates. If however its plain HTML you need to add then its just a matter or pasting it in one of the vbindex_customblock_ templates.

Thanks a lot!

I have a dumb question. I just downloaded vb3 release canidate 2. so i downloaded the rc2 version of vbindex
in the upload text file in the zipped folder it just says "File list and upload locations:
vbindex.php"

so what folders do i install the files under?

RC3 install went great. The only problem i have is a broken image in my post icons. When i right click on the broken_image to find the link, it is doubling the path..like this

www.dmaclan.com/forums/images/icons/http://www.dmaclan.com/forums/images/icons/icon_4.gif[/url]

I upgraded from RC2, and i had no image problems under that. This is only in the latest threads bar.

I still can't log in through the nav bar. The cookie path has always been set to /, and I just went through the template again. Still sends me straight to the forum index with no 'thanks for logging in page'. Can login through any other login forms in vbulletin.

im Running RC3 and when I enable the Calendar it displays o.k but only has a link for the 1st event in the calendar (01.01.04) none of the other dates that have levents have any links.

NTLDR, could you make the calendar display all days of a week in the final version ? And I think we would want to have more features in the final too ^ ^
sorry for trobling the days before, I get over all of them.
this is a great hack.

there is an option in vbioptions to do this

for a 7 days week ? I am using RC2 of VBindex, I didn't see that option, is it in RC3 ? if yes I would like to wait for the final version, installing vbindex mean I have to edit many things for my templates of 4 styles, that's not very easy.

I've not changed anything regarding the latest threads in RC2. Id check that you have the path set correctly for the default icon in the vB Options if its enabled and that your icons follow the format of images/icons/icon_x.gif.

deathemperor1st: RC3 has the option for a full 7 day calendar to be shown :)

bob46802: All the install intructions are in the first post, if you want more detailed instructions go for RC3 :)

Rushty: I can't confirm this. Note that the events only appear after the cron job has run, so if its recently been added that will be why

whens rc3 NOT TESTING version out ?

The non-testing version is likly to be the same as whats here already. I just wanted to offer both for a while to make sure that there were no major bugs in RC3, which there doesn't seem to be. That was the only reason for marking it as 'Testing' :)

I'm running RC2 on VB3.0.0 RC2 do i need to remove the vBindex table modifications in MySQL also? apart from deleting the RC2 templates.

The RC2 install was realy picky on existing tables and keys.

BTW It's the first hack I ever put on my forums and it's great.

If you want to upgrade to vBindex RC3 then all you need to do is delete the templates as recomended and then follow the included upgrade instructions.

I'm getting two little errors after a clean install of rc3 build 6

http://www.dangarion.com/vb/vbindex.php

Parse error: parse error in /homepages/26/d93153274/htdocs/vb/vbiconfig.php on line 29

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /homepages/26/d93153274/htdocs/vb/vbindex.php on line 126

This is just a test board I play with before i make major changes to my site I use. I looked at those lines and couldn't really figure out exactly why I'm getting them, but then I'm still learning this stuff.

Did you change vbiconfig.php as per the details on the first page of the install?

Yeah changed it to note the location of my forum.

Of course I was able to see index a couple minutes ago. Now there is some weird cookie error.


Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: N/A
Line: 0

Of course that looks like just a logging in error on my part, once I login I can view the vbindex again

It looks like you've made a mistake in the vbiconfig.php file. Make sure there is no whitespace after the ?> and that the edit was exactly as shown on screen. If you copied and pasted the edit it may have pasted the text wrong.

Ok looks like there was an extra ' in the config I could have sworn it was there before I edited because I thougth it looked weird. I looked the code over and saw two apostrophes. Oh well :) fixed now.

Any ideas why? Login doesnt work on vbindex page or any forums page through the nav bar.

I've been thinking but I can't come up with any logical reason why. I looked at your site and the navbar HTML looks correct. I will continue to look into this though :)

I surely hope this hasn't been posted. ;)

I'm playing with and getting a rather wicked display problem on vB3 RC2 [upgrade from a vB2 new install/DB import] while using vBindex 3.

I've imported the existing db from another site so users maintain their information and the threads are still alive, and I've verified the threads work and avatars are still visible.

However, when viewing under vBindex, the newsbit topic displays, the posting time displays.. everything.. except the avatar and the actual post.

And to make my head scratch a little more, the logged in user's avatar doesn't display for them in the information bit.


Am I totally missing something here? ;)


** EDIT: Okay, I partially have fixed my own problem. The avatars were still pulling off the existing site, which I've fixed with a data dump into a directory. However vBindex is still reporting [ hover over X'd avatar -> properties -> look at the link it shows ] they're located in the db. <scratchscratch>

But the threads still remain a problem. Strangely enough, on the previous test board I had with vBIndex 2 [fresh install, no db added], the threads didn't display there either.. and they were being called correctly in the templates.

Strange, strange.

Hi

I really like it

Thank you for what you did

Is it possible to make the news with limit characters thin it will fallow with the link of the thread.

Like this way

vBindex 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3 has been released, the new version contains all the bug fixes from RC2 as well as a few new features which I'll be doing instructions for in the future
….> more

Fantastic Script :)

Quick question...

How do I make the news posts on the index page 100% ...it seems to be just under 100%

Thanks

Paul

is it possible to put content other than the news post in that section? and to make multiple pages?
if it is Ill probably switch over to this
