Not a problem at all, anything to help :)

Before I get started with the installation of vBchat 2.2, I do have one concern...

My admincp folder on my server is NOT named "admincp". This has caused problems with many hacks that I have installed in the past. I do ALSO have an "admincp" folder, which is empty, but is used as a location for hacks that need that location.

Is this going to be a problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on this, in general? I'm assuming the instructions for the installation will say to upload certain files to admincp, should I then upload them into the empty admincp folder or should I upload them into my "renamed" admincp folder?

I hope this question isn't too confusing or poorly worded.

My admincp folder is always named something other than default "admincp". I have never had any issues with just putting the items that are supposed to go into admincp into my renamed folder and just run everything as you normally would from in there.

That's not a problem at all, the files your supposed to upload to admincp/ directory, simply upload to the directory you use for the Admin CP, the directory is auto detected for the XML file reading to install templates, so there shouldn't be a problem at all, just whenever the installation refers to "admincp/", just ignore that and use your current directory name :)

Sorry to frustrate you but, I just don't seem to be able to get the admin cp link. I have checked out the admincp index.php several times and I am just sure I placing the code as instructed. For some reason this one part I just can't get right. Otherwise the program works GREAT and I do want to get it onto my public forum. Would there be a screen shot to look at someplace as to just how the code should look in the admin cp index.php ? Maybe I do need a picture afterall ;)
Thanks again for this great hack and for the support to us less knowledgable.
This is how it looks after I am done, if this helps you any to see what I may have done incorrectly;

Well it seems to be a real easy edit, im not too sure where your going wrong with it, i posted a screenshot below, if that doesn't help PM me, and i'll manually edit index.php for you with your consent. :)

PS: The bit in red is the code your required to add.

yes it is a very easy edit and I don't why I am having a hard time getting it. This is not the first time I have installed a hack but I am just not getting something right. I pasted a copy of what mine looks like in my previous post.
Thanks kindly,

Jaye

OK I see the difference I think. I will go back and edit again. I think I placed it in the wrong place :)

Jaye

Well apart from $printhr = true; been on a comment line (which doesn't matter), i can see no errors at all with it.

You say this is a test forum, on your computer or hosted?
If hosted i could take a look, right now im clueless as to why its not appearing, the code is correct from what i can see.

OK I am just baffled. I have to go feed the barn critters and fix dinner but when I get back I will work on it some more. In the meantime I will PM you the particulars so you might help me. I really want to get this on my public forum but need to understand what I am doing wrong so i don't do it again :)

Thanks so much for the help.
