At last its here RC2 of vBindex, the templates have been re-worked the installer has been significantly updated and now includes an uninstall option and an upgrade from v2.0.1

Notes for the install:

Upload vbi_install.php and select the required option for you install.

If you choose an upgrade or templates install then all your home templates will be deleted and replaced. Backup your database first, quite a few changes are made in the install procedure.

In newthread.php find:

PHP Code:

$postid=$DB_site->insert_id(); 


After it add:

PHP Code:

      if ($forumid=$newsforum) {
         $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET tpostid=$postid WHERE threadid=$threadid");
      } 


This will allow the news text to be displayed on new threads posted in your selected news forum. If you news posts don't appear, upload setpostid.php from the zip into forums/admin and run, this should correct the problem.

Note: you must have TWT's shoutbox installed if the shoutbox option is set to on in the ACP.

Full instructions of other template and file edits for this hack that are optional will be included in the final release.

Templates Changed From v2.0.1:

home_buddy1;
home_poll (fixed);
home_left;
home_right;
home_newsbit;
home_pollresult;
home_threads;

These are mostly minor changes to cope with the new ACP system.

I strongly recomend turning Avatars OFF for news posts, this will reduce queries by a large number

As allways, support is provided IN THIS THREAD ONLY.
