Have you installed a portal like vBindex or vBadvanced?

Because vBulletin doesn't come with one already pre-installed. :nervous:

Yes I've just installed the one at the front of this thread, have had some support from its website now so I've got it working (had to rename a few files and change something in the ACP). But thanks for your replys anyway!

Alright, I installed damn portal, and when I go to install file, it shows me AdminCP login, I log in, and page is blank! Everything expect that page, and if I go manually to AdminCP, is blank!
when I go to dir where were my forums, blank, when I go to suppose main portal page... well take a look at this:
http://dead-eternity.net/cmps_index.php

I suck at vB, and portal installation. I can install damn forums but whenever I try to instal Portals and crap, I always screw up. I try to follow everything step by step, and I always screw up. Can somebody help me out?

[MRGTB]

The best thing to do is upload the cmp_index.php to your forums folder. That way you will not have as many broken image links on your portal page, also if you make your board private the link from the portal page will take you to the correct login login page without errors like it does if placed in your root directory.

Did you include the server path in your cmp_index file like it asked you to enter. Just follow the instuctions step by stem slow. But upload both the cms_config and the cms_index file to your forums folder instead. And just use a index file in your root folder created to point to the either the portal file or the forum file using this code.

Should the Moduals folder be chmod to 777 after uploading?

Yes, it states that in the instructions.

[MRGTB]

OK thanks, I have another question if you can help me out.

How exactly do you add content to the default center modual called "Custom Page Content". Can you tell me in simple terms because after 30 mintues messing around I don't have a clue how to add content to it like my google adsence banner so it appears there on the portal page above the latest news :ermm:

[TheMoose]

Hey,

How Do i get the Messages in the Middle. Yes I know how to center them, but how do i get the acutal thread in there. http://www.ogstatus.com/forum/cmps_index.php Not my site, btw.

Is is just just me or has vbadvanced.com been down for 12 hours?

I have a major problem since upgrading to the latest version with my News and Most Recent post modules. If I have them active when I include VBa in my forums the forums are empty. you can't see and forums within the forums. No other modules do not cause that problem.

There are a few people with this same problem on Vbadvanced.

Any help would be great.
