Thank anyway

Take a look at the hack vB Index v2.0.

It's a non vB index page for your site and has the welcome panel built into it. If you dont want to use the whole hack, you may be able to strip out what you need with some trial and error and a little php knowledge.

That's the best I can do.

It's a nice hack too.

hey.. i luv this hack, it's awesome.. however, ever since I done the hack.. I get this whacky error


[QUOTE]vel$depth$tempext")."\";"); if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) { $forumbits.=makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumperms); } } // END if can view } // END while ( list($key2,$forum)=each($val1) ) { } // END while ( list($key1,$val1)=each($iforumcache["$forumid"]) ) { unset($iforumcache["$forumid"]); return $forumbits; } if (!isset($forumid) or $forumid==0 or $forumid=='') { $forumid=-1; } else { // need to get permissions for this specific forum $permissions=getpermissions(intval($forumid)); } $forumbits=makeforumbit(intval($forumid), 1, $permissions); $unregwelcomemessage=''; if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==0) { eval("\$unregwelcomemessage = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_unregmessage')."\";" ); } eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumhome')."\");" ); ?>

Reapply the hack! Be very careful to cover every step in the instructions precisely.

*sigh* i have done it several times.. do you think I could just send you my index.php file? maybe you can over look it, and tell me if its okay? cuz i'm really lost @ this point!! :bored:

what version of vBulletin are you running?

the latest one.. 2.2.7

That worries me. I havent heard off anyone who has installed this successfully on 2.2.7 yet. The last confirmed problem free version was 2.2.6!

hehe.. well this is the thing, it happen before I even upgraded.. on 2.2.6 :(

It should work with 2.2.7, ill install it on my test board now to check if u like

ill only install on my 2.2.7 if you want me to tril0byte

tril0bye thats why im saying, maybe you can take a look @ my index.php file?

Thanks Rock, hold fire on that install. This should work with 2.2.7 unless there have been some *major* changes. As I understand it, it's a fairly minor release, just security plugs and bug fixes. I'm thinking JCFN has either made an error or has some conflict with something else.

JCFN, before that, re-check your template modifications. I cant look at your file tonight, it'll be at least 24hrs before I can get near it.

love the hack and it works with vb 2.2.7 :D

tril0bye, just letmme know when I can send ya over my modified php file. thanx in advanced!

Thanks a lot, first hack I installed! :)

tril0bye, anyword, when i can shoot the file over to you?

Working on 2.2.7, thanks. :)

Yeah, upgraded yesterday. Works perfectly.

yah. i got mine to work finally.. it works great :)

Hello, I have two questions in regards to this WONDERFUL HACK! I got it to work properly, but:
1. how do i remove the login box from the bottom of the screen(no need for it there, considering there is one in the welcome panel).
2. my welcome panel is not the same length as my forum section(take a peak here: www.2darkpark.com/vbulletin ). I would like to get the length to equal that of the forum below it.


and last and very least(ignore this question if it is too difficult):
3. How exactly would i go about cojorning the 'whos online' to the bottom of the welcome panel(and also adding a 'whos online' gradient bar to make it look flush).

With regard to moving the bottom login code box, remove the line " <td align="right">$logincode</td> " from your forumhome template.

great hack...I have 3 questions...

1. How can I remove the PM box from this hack...there is already one on the bottom of page....

2. How can I move Members: 80, Threads: 37, Posts: 174

I got it working on 2.2.7, but the private message box is not showing up. I redid it twice, but still no PM box. Any ideas?

I need help... :(

How can I get the PM section to not appear in my welcome panel when a user is not logged in?

It's just html. Copy the welcomepanel template code - everything between...

<!-- welcomepanel -->
....and
<!-- /welcomepanel -->

...into an html editor and you will see how it is laid out. Make the changes you want then copy the welcomepanel template code back into the forumhome template in the same position. You can do this with a WYSIWYG editor like dreamweaver, or whatever.

You will see elsewhere in the forumhome template, that there are a number of variables (vars) which start with a $ sign, such as $pminfo and $logincode. These are defined in other templates, and can be moved around pretty much anywhere you like.

The vars you are interested in are $numbermembers, $totalthreads and $totalposts. What they do should be self explanatory. Wherever you put

$totalposts

in the forumhome template, then the number of total posts will be displayed in that location on your forum. Be sure not to duplicate the vars - unless you want them to appear twice. Remember to prefix them with some plainh text which gives them meaning, for example

Number of Forum Members: $numbermembers

will be displayed as

Number of Forum Members: 251 (or whatever that number may be...)

HTH.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Did as you recommended and works like a charm.

Should work fine. This hack only moves the location of the PM box. Try adding $pminfo elsewhere in the forumhome template and see if it apears there, if not you have made a mistake with something else.

sorry, it seems as if this is no bug, but a feature :D .

I can get to my PN's over the UCP --> Private Messages

I thought there'd be a quick Link in the Welcome-Panel, like 'You got 10 new messages' and if you klick on '10' you're taken to your Inbox.

Any Idea how to implement this?

You're welcome.

The great thing about these forums, is that you learn so much using them. Rather than just posting a solution, it's far better to show people how to find the solution for themselves.
