the result:

This sucks :( I got the news showing up:

$newsforum=3

I posted a thread in Forum #5 and it shows up?!?
I posted a thread in Forum #1 and set $newsforum to 1 and nothing shows up?!?

FlyingDutchman, perhaps something wrong with the forumpermissions? if forum #1 doesnt work.. just use a forum which works.. if theres no other solution...

JoeHarrison, thanks.. yap a little typo. ahm.. perhaps i'll release version 1.4 with some fixes.

Ok...I followed the instructions, and I have an error on line 403, which just HAPPENS to be "?>" without the quotes of course.
Anyway...I don;t see how this could work since I am renaming the index file of vb...so when ever going to the root, you will be goiong to the portal. That seems...odd. never the less, I would really like to get something running like this. I guess I am jut brain dead or something.
Any help would be apreciated.

I am currently out of the office and will return on Tuesday, May 7th.

I finnaly got it to work... I just did a plain install of Vb and VbIndex and now it works great!
anyway, can anyone help me please with this:

I want: To show up the left-menu on the forums page
What I did: I put this line: just at the end of index.php and added home_left to the '$templatesused-list'

I thought that it would show up now when I would include $left somewhere in the header... but it doesn't?!? what am I doing wrong? (did I edit the wrong file or something?!?)

thanks in advance for your help,

I had the same error see Here for what fixed it for me it might help you

Bad Bunny, make sure that there is nothing after the "?>" ie make sure that the > is the last character of the file and there are no lines after it and no spaces, I think this is what is causing the problem.

element, you have 57queries on your page. that means your server on the red line. everything over 40 is bad.

another 57 on me :)

nakkid, visit this link: http://partylife.ch/index.php?action...&numthreads=30
you get 106 queries without any problems. the server is located in the us. so you should have the faster connection then i have :).

this is incredible... i hope you know that your server is exploding only with 20-30users... at 108queries.
if i would be you, i would reduce those queries. if your site is getting busy, i guarantee you that your current host will cancel your account. you could fry their server every day at this rate. just a friendly advice.
just for fun, what is the server load you get in average? 5, 6, 7? what value? i'm curious... let me know please.

ehm.. about 3.5!

well.. i know nakkid.. thanks for your advice :). the point is.. that i dont expect that the site is getting busy :).
hmm.. i dont think my host would cancel my account.. first he would kill me ;). no i hope not :D. well i get this server for free.. and i'm very happy with it.. even if its not the fastest i could get :).

nobody can help me with this?
I don't know where to go else to get some help? :(

ehm.. flyingdutchman..

$templateused list.. just reads the templates in a cache memory.
the home_left is already loaded in the original vbindex file. you just have to put the $left where ever you want in the 'home' template. (sorry for my english.. i just don't know to translate this correctly :()

hope this helped you. if not... just ask :).

I had a look, but I couldn't get this to work I'm afraid. It is either, the forums index.php or global.php that needs to be editied, take a look at the vbportal code, that may help you as it has a left menu in the forums option.

Ok, I'll look at that then :)

hmm, I think you don't understand me... I want it to show up on the index.php page from vB, next to my forums...

I found it out... It needs to be in global.php instead of index.php :)
now it works... :D
thx anyway for your help guys...

it's working well, except I don't know where to put the other variables and vb code... like this:

i tried putting it in index.php and global.php but it doesn't work :(
I'll try to find some code in index.php where I can just insert some lines of this code... I think that should work, but I don't like searching :(

i did everything per instruction but i get a blank screen. my forums is installed in root and so is the new index.php and the old was renamed to home.php. home.php works just fine. is it the templates not showing up?

thanks! This hack looks good I'll install it this weekend

this is what shows up when i view source

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: home -->

<!-- END TEMPLATE: home -->

Have you created and enterd the HTML into the home template?

Ok, I get a completely blank screen.
??

you get a blank screen cos unlike vBHome this hack only works in your forums directory and not the root directory...

Yes I have.

Wrong

This will work in another directory other than your forums dir, if you use the chdir command:

Above:

i did try that b4, but it didn't work thats why i'm using vBHome :rolleyes:

This hack sounds awesome! Easy installation, great options, I WILL DEFINITELY install this hack! Thanks El3m3nt!

Thanks works great on 2.2.5

The only thing: I will remove the Notpad Link on the main page, but I could not find it.

If its set up properly it will ;)

Its most likly to be in either home_left or home_loggedin or something similar, click on search under the templates section on the Admin CP menu and type notpad, that will find the culprit :D

home_logout is the right template ;)

Yes, thanx. I searched all the time in home_left. And the Search-Engine didn't find it under home_logout.

hehe Ordovicium.. nice sig ;)

von mir aus k?nnen wir schon deutsch sprechen auf vb.org.. sofern niemand was dagegen hat? :)

i have something against it!
let's all speak our own language! w00t, this place will get messy! :p :bunny:

adding chdir above required didn't work so I moved everything back inside the forums dir. now this is what appears when i view source

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

i am completly lost here
can someone please give me a hand?

Which part(s), are you stuck with?

In the file, the term "new index.php" refers to the file called index.php in the vbindex zip.

Basicly you need to copy some code from your forums/index.php file into the php file that came with vBindex. (Due to copyright reasons, which is why it hasn't already been done.)

i dont know what code to copey

"Open the original vBulletin index.php and look for..

$activeusers = "";
$loggedinusers = "";

till

$recordusers = $maxusers[0];
$recorddate = vbdate($dateformat,$maxusers[1]);
$recordtime = vbdate($timeformat,$maxusers[1]);
eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\"; ");

[Line 138-211]"

this confuses me
