Latest Version: 1.3

This hack is not very special for me. I just wanted to create a mainpage on which you can see.. (as a member) everything what u like to see. The idea of the script is similar to the vbHome of nakkid and also a little bit to the vBPortal. I tested all of them.. but i was looking for something better :D. so i decided to write such a script myself...

Features:

Active threads & newest posts
News & Polls (read from a newsforum and a pollforum)
Quick CP Links on the index-site
Buddies on the index-site
Very easy to customize. Just edit the templates!
Available in english and german!

Summary: On this index-site you can see everything what you as a member would like to see :).

Demo-Sites:

http://partylife.ch [German Version]
http://www.kampfkunst-info.de.vu [German Version]
http://www.ukwinternet.co.uk/forum/home.php [English Version]

ouh.. jep.. i'll use vbhacker.

thank u. if u didn't say it, i would have forgotten it (is this tense grammatically correct? ;), sorry english isnt my mother tongue.. i always give my best :))

Thats grammatically correct if you ask me! I wouldn't have even know english wasn't your frist language.

If we're getting all picky about language ;), shouldn't that be:
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgetten about it?"
But English isn't my first language either, so... :)

Oh, by the way - is there a hack that turns "/me" into the name of the user as in IRC?

Yes that is another way of putting it :laugh:

]nice hack... :) allready use vBHome tho'... but your hack is good too! More of these things on the board to let users to choose from :)

yeah .. i said, its similar to vbhome.. i tested vbhome. it works fine.. but i wanted more ;)... more features.. and more functionality for the members.

Installing now el3m3nt, I'll let you know how it goes...

ouh im tensely how it works.. do u install online? if yes, send me the url per pm.

thank you very much for ur effort :).

Hi el3m3nt,

Sent you a pm with the url for the install I did, feel free to take a look.

Glad I could help you out, this is a great hack and is just what I've been looking for, many thanks.

If you need any more help just let me know.

i dont want to be rude... but i think your hack is [high]almost[/high] identical to mine's (code variables, queries, structure). also i saw that your extra code is basically (not sure 100%) copied from vBulletin code. this infringes the jelsoft copyright.
el3m3nt, please let me know what do you think about it.

all the best,
nakkid.

*just looked at code* I agree with you nakkid....

xiphoid?? what happened to your sig? and template hacks???

quiet nice hack. Similar to vbhome but more features. I love you guys :)

Bring out more of these modified, improved vbhome hacks!! :D

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help out a beginner, I would really like to implent the index hack but i am having a couple of problems.

I have uploded the index file but i just get a blank screen ( I assume this is because of the templates) but where do i install the templetes through the VB control panel or upload then in to directory? If it's through the vb control panel do i need to change any of the exsiting ones or just create new ones?

Sorry for asking what are probably such dum questions.

freeshares1

hi freeshares,

you have to create new templates (= custom templates).
in the text-files u can find the content for these templates u need to create. the text-files u dont have to upload. just open and copy & paste into the new templates.

further questions? :) just ask.

stupid questions doesnt exist, only stupid answers :).

We i now have all my templates doen but i still get a blank screen when i try and goto my forum.

That's all folks

I have also uploaded my index file, The golbal.php is in the same directory as the index file.

Any ideas would be most grateful

Thanks

Phil the novice

no php-error?

what is the source code of the blank screen u get? (turn the template options on to see which templates were used)

if your script is anywhere online, pls let me know the url.

well the templates seem to be okey, when there is any content in it (also the right content).
upload the new index file in the /forum directory, where the original index file is. then u dont have to move other files or to change paths.

el3m3nt, did you get my pn? :)

My vbindex -> http://www.kampfkunst-board.de/kampf...forum/home.php :laugh: ;)

got it and answered :).

can you possibly implement the sessionlocation. That I get no "UNKNOWN LOCATION" Messages in the Online-List :)

ehm.. well.. thats not really dificult. but it depends on how u rename the two index files.

u have to add 2 things in the online.php.. i'll post where and what. just a few moments pls :).

In the online.php look for..

Code:

    case 'index':

      $userinfo[where] = "$bbtitle <a href='index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Index</a>";

      break;

Add below another case..

Code:

    case 'home':

      $userinfo[where] = "$bbtitle <a href='home.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Home</a>";

      break;

if you name your index-file "home.php".

Look for..

Code:

  case 'index.php':

    $userinfo[activity] = 'index';

    break;

Add below..

Code:

  case 'home.php':

    $userinfo[activity] = 'home';

    break;

Just adapt ur code to the right names of ur files.

i noticed a bug with the newsicons.. when there is no icon selected, the url to the pic is called { imagesfolder }/icons/icon0.gif. but icon0.gif doesnt normally exist.

soon i will release version 1.1 with the buddy-list feature (the user can see his/her buddies on the indexsite)

Aehm... very cool, but now I cant go the Forums, it always beams me back to the new index... whats the way to go from here to the forums???

rename before uploading the file to something like home.php oder index2.php, than you have also to modify some links in the templates but then you can use your old index file as normally :)

You can compare with my version where I did it also this way. I postet the link some posts above ;)

damn! this looks great.
this is exact what I needed:D
thanx el3m3nt

The best way to do this is to intsall FireFly's "Add Who's Online locations from Admin CP" hack located in this thread then you can add other locations easily as well.

Hi NTLDR, element posted the solution above on top of site 2 ;)

Hi el3m3nt,

I think I may a found a very minor bug, that causes a script error, at least with Internetr Explorer 6, the page still displays correctly, but depending on peoples options many anoying error messages pop up, and I like to get rid of these errors :D

On line 371 and 373 or there abouts in the php file (mine differs as I've hacked it :p )

The following lines:

PHP Code:


		
			
$pollbits .= "<tr><td bgcolor=\"{secondaltcolor}\" width=\"5%\" onMouseOver=\"this.style.backgroundColor='{firstaltcolor}'; this.style.cursor='hand';\" onMouseOut=\"this.style.backgroundColor='{secondaltcolor}';\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"optionnumber[$option[number]]\" value=\"yes\"></td><td bgcolor=\"{secondaltcolor}\" colspan=\"3\"><smallfont>$option[question]</smallfont></td></tr>";

And:

PHP Code:


		
			
$pollbits .= "<tr><td bgcolor=\"{secondaltcolor}\" width=\"5%\" onMouseOver=\"this.style.backgroundColor='{firstaltcolor}'; this.style.cursor='hand';\" onMouseOut=\"this.style.backgroundColor='{secondaltcolor}';\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"optionnumber\" value=\"$option[number]\"></td><td bgcolor=\"{secondaltcolor}\" colspan=\"3\"><smallfont>$option[question]</smallfont></td></tr>";

It doesn't seem to like the mouse roll over effects for the poll options that appear in the poll table (the onMouseOut & onMouseOver).

I removed these to lines and IE6 didn't report any script errors.

This may just be with mine! But I thought I'd let you know, other than that this hack works perfectly!
