Buddha, look a few posts up from this and you'll see what was changed in the templates.

My advice is just upload the vbindex.php file with the code changes that need to be made inside (Adding lines 142-202 of original 2.2.8 root/index.php file) where noted.

Then bring up those 3 templates in the ACP and change the <normalfont occurences to <smallfont.

There's no SQL changes, and the only REAL change done to vbindex.php was the removal of maxloggedinusers and the change in version #'s. :)

thanks lightbringer... i read the post you're referring too, but i thought that was the only edits to the templates from the RC to the final... i'm upgrading from 2.01... so i know there are more edits than that... an example being the newsbit that adds the "Read more..." feature.
(trust me buddy, i've read each and every post in this massive freakin' thread many times... i don't ask for help unless i'm sure someone hasn't beat me to it.

by the way, is anyone else having problems with the smilies showing up?
i know it was mentioned earlier to make certain to have the full url of the smilies in the admin cp, but that was for a problem with the shoutbox. i can't get the smilies for my posts, although i used to be able to with vbindex v.2.01.
i have changed the url to include the full address, but they still don't show.

*edit*
also, i've been going through the vbindex to make the modifications i'd made previously, and i can't find this anywhere

that's what i used to change the news forum for each additional page that i made (the copies of vbindex). now that it's set in the admin cp (for the main index), where am i going to be able to change the code in the copies.

thanks.


ps. only 23 querries on my heaviest page. that's with ten topics. great work man. thanks!

Warning: unexpected error in date() in c:\fsckstuff\forums\admin\functions.php on line 1599

was just trying it out on my home computer and encountered this error, php 4.2.3 and apache 1.3 any ideas?

Shouldn't be anything to do with this hack, no changes are made to functions.php, but not knowing whats on line 1599 of functions.php I can't say.

These have been replaced by a batch of new variables:

Just replace all occurances of these and declare your own at the top, like vBindex v2.0.1 did.

How much have you changed your templates?

thanks ntldr.
i'll try it out in a few... not able to this very minute.

as for the templates... quite a bit... just moving things around, changing the right and left quite a bit and adding different replacements and advertisements and such. and the header is changed and added the total members and total reviews that we'd spoken about before... and then i had to create a crapload extra templates for all of the other pages...
which templates were changed from 2.01 to 2.1?

again, thanks for the help.

There are very few major template changes at all that may be of importance to you.

The main change to the v2.1 templates was to make them so when you turn an item off in the CP (threads for example) the it compleatly disapears from the side bar.

Other than that $readmore was added to home_newsbit, there are the shoutbox templates added and buddy templates have been reworked to show and appear only when a buddy is online, and Users Online Today: was removed from the home_left template. Thats all the changes I can think of.

thanks. i'll look through and add the few extras... as for the threads, buddy, shoutbox and online info, none of that matters to me anyway, as it has been turned off.

that's great... i'll work them all over later and let you know how it goes.

thanks for all the help.
