Problem with my frontpage hack
 

I have just upgraded my forum from 3.0.8 to 3.0.14 with no problem. However when I upgraded to 3.5.4 my frontpage.php hack stopped working and all my members see is a No Permissions message. Can anyone shed any light on this. I have already discovered that the license code information etc has not been updated and that the script is checking access permissions. The unfortunate thing is I did not set this forum up and cannot write code.
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Scripts written for 3.0 will not work in 3.5, lots have things have changed.

It's impossible from here to say exactly what your problem is but I would expect that a bit of a rewrite is needed.

Oh great, can I do that from within vBulletin style manager or do I need to use something else. I need to get rid of the No permissions message asap

The info from the end of the file is

CVS: $RCSfile: index.php,v $ - $Revision: 1.132.2.8 $

Does that help anyone?

Not really, it confuses the issue even more, in your previous post you mentioned frontpage.php - yet that extract says index.php (in fact that looks like an old vb index file). The style manager is not involved, that's for styles, not php code files.

I have bypassed the page as a temporary stop gap.

I am confused too - on the server the file quoted above (originally index) is called frontpage.

The guy who set this up obviously used other people's work then modified it himself. I am going to have fun :tired:

Your best bet for the short and long term is to go with a portal instead, like vBAdvanced. It's excellent, and cake to setup even for novices.
