Just thought I would post to say thanks for all the good work Brian, and to confirm this working with 3.05. :)

This is an awsome script. GJ btw.

I tried using the same stats you have on the portal on a sidebar that shows everywhere on the board excpet the portal. I found out that I had to include
functions.php and stats.php in the global.php file and it worked fine, but when I do that, the stats block on the portal dosen't show, anyone know why/

great work :)

Did a quick search, in all threads. Are there addons available for other modules such as image gallery and such along those lines?

Now that we have our own forum for the CMPS, please keep all support related posts there.

Aaron - Which image gallery?

I was using vbadvanced along with vb 3.0.0. I have now upgraded to 3.0.5. I installed vbadvanced CMPS and chose to import my old settings. It seems to be slightly messed up however. The pull down menus don't work and there may be an image problem. Can you take a look at my site and see what I may have done wrong? Thanks

Hi

I did as the instructions told me and getting the following error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/pakdef/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1916

Thats the same error I had when editing the file in Dreamweaver.

Re-edit it using a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad) or something like Editplus, using your original (unmodified) copy.

Reload it to the server.

That'll fix it, I'll wager.

i have a problem.

ive done everything according to the readme and im still getting an error.

my forum uses a subdomain, forum.blahblah.com as an example.
ive uploaded the cmps_index.php file to my /forum directory and when i go to /forum/cmps_index.php on my site i get:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/rpgcn64/public_html/forum/cmps_index.php on line 19

=/ help?

it cannot reach the file so you should control the file location

thank you , great work

For those running 1.0.0 yet, vBa CMPS 1.0.1 has been released over at http://www.vbadvanced.com ;)

Installed it, went through the setup didn't get any errors but I can't get it to show the portal.

What address do I use?

Shin Asura,

If you used all of the defaults then you'll find it at http://www.{yoursite}/cmps_index.php

Cool thanks :)

/me installs!

is there a way to uninstall this hack?
reason
after we installed this hack users cann ot login to board ( some of them)

Wrong username or password. You have used up your failed login quota! Please wait 15 minutes before trying again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click here!

we are 100 percent sure that username and password is true,. I am positive

Would anyone know of any VBAdvanced CMPS site with multiple last post blocks in it? I was stumbled into one last nigh but not can’t find it,,

We are trying to add multiple last post blocks in VBAdvanced if anyone knows how are where please point us in the right direction

This can be caused by the domain and cookies. See vbadvanced.com for solutions. I've seen this on boards that have the forums installed in a sub-directory below the portal.

I believe you can do this by creating multiple modules that each pull from a different forum.

I am trying to register on the other board, but I am not receiving the validation e-mail. I have already checked the e-mail address. Hmm.

Anyone know the scoop?

possible dumb question..

can I configure it to allow admins who post news items to use HTML, but not allow people who respond to use it? vB only seems to allow HTML on a forum by forum level.. has this added any ability to do that? I really need more control display-wise over the news content.

I don't think it can do that. It follows the normal rules for that forum.

what's the diff?

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5103

any reason for this when i view portal?

Don't know. Try over at www.vbadvanced.com. I'd be interested too. I've got quite a few modules on my home page.

utlamer, SamirDarji: Check your settings to global.php to make sure you got this changes correctly. If you're sure that the changes to global.php are correct then check your modules to make sure that the template names are still present.

I clicked "instal" and want to confirm that this is working with 3.0.6

Keep it real :D

Yep, it'll work fine with 3.0.6

Beautiful install - flawless - done in 15 minutes and looks great!

Now to begin customizing! Muhahahahah! :) :)

TWO THUMBS UP!

:cool:

works in 3.0.7 :)

hey me and my friend installed this on our site but it says line 25 in index.php which is the directory or soemthign and i have the example of what vb put in there i have tried many ways but none worked any help is appriciated this is the exact error

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/iden-pro/public_html/index.php on line 19

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/iden-pro/public_html/index.php on line 25

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/iden-pro/public_html/index.php on line 25

How do I get the portal to show up at www.the-everquest-vault.com instead of at www.the-everquest-vault.com/cmps_index.php?

You have to rename the file and rename the file for your forum index. And then you have to change the name in the options for the forum index to whatever to changed it to.

For my sites I renamed the index.php to forum.php and then renamed the cmps_index.php to index.php. Hope this helps.

installed works fine from its location.. cept how do i go back and change the image paths for the avatars and smilies etc.?

not referering to the one under style manager -> all style options.


EDIT: actually all the links seem to be going to www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/path/path etc.

where can i adjust this?

http://www.onemarket.ca/cmps_index.php

I suspect this would work if my board was in the same directory as the portal itself, but my board is in a different directory. Like, my portal is in the root directory, and the board is in the community directory. So this being the case, how would I go about getting the portal to show up at www.the-everquest-vault.com? I've already renamed cmps_index.php to index.php.

Install went great but when I go to the portal page Iget this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /home3/xxxxxx/public_html/gridiron/cmps_index.php on line 27

I check what was on line 27:

print_portal_output($home);

Can someone help me out with this error?
