I followed the instructions perfectly. I love installing things. Wee. Great.

Ok so... I first installed this on a test forum.
It appeared to have installed fine. But when I go to the vbindex, it says there was a slight problem with db... not sure why. So, in short- the hack failed. I can access the controls for the vbindex, save my changes, all that. But nothing's going on.

Then I set it up on the real forum. This time I was very careful and made very sure I followed every step exactly and slowly. Everything was fine until I got to where you edit the image paths. I would edit them, click Save and the page would just reload very quickly and my changes would be gone. This kept happening. I couldn't go any further. So I pointed my browser to upgraded and maybe that didn't help the situation or hurt it, but I gave it a shot.. it showed me that it was finishing but it didn't forward me to the admin section or anything. The page went dead just like the other. And my controls for it look like the attachment below. Scary, isn't it? And when I click save I get that it can't find vbindex_settings_saved.

So my test or the real thing just didn't work out.

What the .. ?
Is this because my database is wacky because my vB is a convert of an Invision Board?

Why me!

Your phrases haven't imported correctly, re run vbiupgraded.php?step=10 to have the installer try and import them again.

Note the 'edit image paths' screen appears for every single style you have, so your changes probably were not lost.

My god. Can I give you a gift, a cake, something?@? *mwah*

But the changes don't appear on the site. And vbindex.php is a blank white page.

Sorry if this is explained somewhere else.. I have been battling with my brain and I'm growing weak.

I guess the templates didn't import either for some reason. Goto vbiupgraded.php?step=7 and continue to Step 9 where it rebuilds the styles :)

I still love you but,


Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 4:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO template

mysql error: Duplicate entry 'imgdir_attach-1' for key 2

mysql error number: 1062


And then when I visit here,
http://surmunity.com/vbindex.php
I get that. :(

Just move onto vbiupgraded.php?step=9 for it to rebuild the styles, hopefully then the main page will show.

Thank you for all of your help so far. I'm glowing in the fact this might just work. It was a long struggle to get our Invision 1.2 into a vB3! And now I am trying to install all of the things that we need, and it just seems to be because of the template crud in the tables left over from Invision.

It appears for me using the Default vB3 Style (Surpass Hosting Community vBulletin 3 Style). If you get a white page see if any of the vbindex_ templates are listed under your style in the style manager.

I don't see what you mean.
I still get this DB error. http://www.surmunity.com/vbindex.php

I have deleted the styles that aren't used and now only have 2 and both have been edited correctly... I think. :o
