Great Hack! Works perfect right out of the box with v2.3 #3 ... With the exception of the weather installer, which tells me it doesnt exist when it does. Oh Well. No great loss for me.

Quick question from an idiot who knows squat about most of this:

The hack contains custom1 and custom2 ... I also want to create custom3, 4, and 5.

I opened the index template, added $custom3 and so on, and created those templates ... Problem is they dont display. What a n00b!! haha.

Anyways, anyone who can help me out there would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Edited on March 23: I found the answer to my own question, regarding how to install more custom templates, for those who are interested it can be found at:

Again, thanks for the excellent hack!

I got my other problems sorted out, but now I'm having the member.php problems same as the above user, and my weather broke over the last day or so. It was working fine, then it just stopped. If you go to the weekly forcast now, it shows 0 for all data. If anyone wants to give it a guess, feel free to check out my home page, http://www.asheron-online.com/

As far as I know, nothing has changed, but with 3 admins who work on seperate hacks & stuff, you never know :).

is it possible to show the forums which the last threads are in?

Tigga - First of all nice work man :cool:.

I have a problem with my installation and I've already seen some other people post about the same thing, but it doesn't seem to matter what I do, I can't get the correct path.

When running the myvbindex.php file, I get the following error:

Code:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\myvbindex.php on line 13



Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\myvbindex.php on line 17

My myvbindex.php file contains the following info, relating to my path:

Code:

// Enter The Full Path To Your Forums Here

chdir('/forum');

// No Further Editing Necessary

You'll notice I'm running this on a Windows box :). What should this path be. My directory setup is quite straight forward (so I thought):

<ROOT>myvbindex.php
|
|---- forum

<ROOT> above is the default apache root, i.e. the htdocs folders root directory.

Any ideas?

Great hack! Installed on 2.2.9, and looks wonderful. Members really like it a lot. But I'm having permissions problems, like the others...

I have about 8 forums that are either for supermods or admins only, and like others these threads show up in the latest topics, and like the others when a person without the right permissions tries to access it, they are denied.

All permissions have been set correctly, these people cannot see these threads or their associated forums when they are searching through categories, forums, etc.

Is there a cleaner fix than having 8 lines of code to check if it's forum X, X+1, X+2, etc?

Thanks,

Jeff

I apologize to everyone for not being around this last week+. I had to go to Miami on business and only had my laptop on a dial-up connection. I barely had enough time to check my own forum let alone any others.

arracing - Sorry, but I don't know much about music files, though I'm sure you can find some sort of online tutorial if you search for one.

D|ver - Open your myvbindex.php file and look for:

PHP Code:


		
			
SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title,thread.replycount,thread.postusername,thread.postuserid,thread.dateline,thread.views,thread.iconid

Change that to:

PHP Code:


		
			
SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title,thread.replycount,post.username,post.userid,post.dateline,thread.views,post.iconid

Heffe2000 - To add a link to the admin/mod cp, open your myvbindex.php file and look for:

PHP Code:


		
			
  $getbgrow=getrowcolor();

  eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('index_welcometext')."\";");

Right above that Add:

PHP Code:


		
			
  $adminlink='';

  if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) {

    $adminlink="<a href=\"$bburl/admin/\" target=\"_blank\">Admin CP</a>";

  }

  if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==5) {

    $adminlink="<a href=\"$bburl/mod/\" target=\"_blank\">Mod CP</a>";

  }

Then just add the variable $adminlink in your index_welcometext template wherever you would like the link to appear.

attroll - The reason you still appear logged in when you're not is because you did not actually log out before you closed your browser window. If you log out first you shouldn't have a problem.
As for uploading the newthread.php file, that was a mistake on my part. In the previous versions of the script it was necessary to also edit that file, but I accidentally forgot to remove that part in the instructions. Thank you for pointing that out.
As for the weather part... I'm guessing that msnbc.com changed something in their settings and that's why it's no longer working. I'll see if I can figure out what was done and post a fix when I can, or you can check the vB Weather Mk 2 thread to see if a fix has been posted there.

mcyates - I have answered this question for you several times now. Search the thread.

Lacrosse Boy - Open your myvbindex.php file and look for:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder');

Change that to:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forums=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 AND forumid!=$newsforum ORDER BY parentid,displayorder");

kevinnguyen - Yes. It should be possible with a few simple template changes.

frankenberrie - That's something to do with your index_header template. Just look to see what the difference is between that template and your normal header template (I would guess there's a <p> or <br> missing after your logo).
As for pulling the news from multiple forums, you should be able to enter something like this for your News Forum ID - XX OR forumid=YY - And you would just change XX and YY to your forum id's.

Rebel38 - You missed one of the template modifications in the readme file. Check to make sure that you edited your forumhome_loggedinuser template properly.

kevinnguyen - Open your myvbindex.php file and look for:

PHP Code:


		
			
  $iforumperms = 'AND forumid=' . implode(' OR forumid=', $iforumperms);

Change that to:

PHP Code:


		
			
  $iforumperms = 'AND thread.forumid=' . implode(' OR thread.forumid=', $iforumperms);

Then look for:

PHP Code:


		
			
$threads=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,title,replycount,postusername,postuserid,dateline,views".iif($showthreadicon,   ',thread.iconid','')." FROM thread WHERE open='1' AND open<>10 $iforumperms ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxlatethreads");

Change that to:

PHP Code:


		
			
$threads=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,thread.title,thread.replycount,postusername,postuserid,dateline,views,iconid,thread.lastposter,thread.lastpost, thread.forumid,forum.title AS forumtitle FROM thread 

LEFT JOIN forum ON (thread.forumid=forum.forumid) WHERE open<>10 $iforumperms ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxlatethreads");

Intex - Try changing the path to c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\forum

imageconstrux - As far as I know, if the forum permissions are set correctly then there should not be a problem. Would you mind taking a screen shot of the permissions page one of those forums that should be private and posting it here for me to check out?

Tigga - thx for the response. I'd actually used a suggestion you posted eleswhere in the thread to determine the servers path, i.e. creating a file with the following info:

<?php phpinfo(32); ?>

That gave me the following path which was entered into that command line:

chdir('c:\\program files\\apache group\\apache\\htdocs\\forum');

Worked a treat :cool:. Today I looked through the entire thread for this hack and I noticed so many people were experiencing the same problem. I've also seen the same questions posed in other hacks that use the chdir command - therefore can I make a suggestion for you to include this in the instructions. This will definitely decrease the amount of support calls you get :).

On the support note, I'd just like to say that support from yourself is quite incredible. As I mentioned above, I've read the entire thread for this hack today (which took some time :)) and I have to say that not only do you retain your composure and professionality thoughout, even when clearly having to repeat yourself, but your actual support quality is no less than first class.

Keep up the superb work. Its a shame more of us don't have the same level of professionality as you do :).

BTW: On post #622 you'd provided a solution to the vB 2.2.5 problem with polls. I can confirm your solution works.

Tigga -

Here's a screenie of the permissions page for non-registered or not logged in users. This screenie is for a parent forum (red), and all the non-registered perms for each child forum under it is blue. (But I've tried it both ways, neither works)

And here's a screenie, with me being logged out, of part of the Latest Topics table. The 'Ask The Pro' thread is in one of the higher permission forums that a non-reg shouldn't be able to see.

Thank you for the compliments Intex. It's always nice to know that people appreciate the work and help. :)
I'm actually planning on making an FAQ for the script once I release the next version. As I'm sure you saw when you read the thread, there are many questions that are asked over and over again that could be prevented by that and save me quite a bit of time.

imageconstrux - Please check your PMs. :)
