Hi, this is my first vB hack so please be patient

This allows you to use a board as a link (UB2k users know this feature). When you set a board as a link every user who joins the board will be redirected to this url

See it in action: http://foren.letzplay.de (german) the last boards are redirections.

This hack has been tested on vB 2.0.1 and vB 2.0.3 but other users have it running on 2.2.1, too.

Please post questions, inspirations and problems in this thread (not per email or pm). Thank you.

New version 1.1a fixed online

Just fixed that one bug in the install description. No need to upgrade if version 1.1a is already running

Same here, the front page is hosed after the install. The problem lies in the editing of index.php. I reverted index.php to stock and everything works fine including the redirects, but it doesn't display hits or anything for obvous reasons. Is there a fix for this?

It's really difficult to know what's the problem without seeing it - could I get a link (or a screenshot)?

But I would think you don't have the forumdisplay_linkbit_level* templates or they are incorrect (maybe you removed the moderator column in the other templates?)...

When I install the hack, for some reason I get in my index.php a huge black box on top which contains

Code:

 style="border-style: solid;border-top-width: 0;border-left-width: 1;border-right-width: 1;border-bottom-width: 0;border-color: #000000"

Repeated over and over, this only happens once I upload index.php with the changes in the hack - any idea why?

I don't yet see where this could come from - that code is nowhere in my code nor the templates. However I've seen this is part of your <body> tag so I beliefe it comes from there... I think this has to do with your style but I can't yet find what's the problem (is it possible to see your forum with the new index.php uploaded?)

Have you yet created any links?

GameCrash · #76 01-02-2004, 05:38 PM

I have now compared the linkbit templates (the ones which get created by this hack) with the forumbit templates of vBulletin 2.3.0 - they should be compatible.

Did you change any of the following templates?

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
forumdisplay_linkbit_level1
forumdisplay_linkbit_level2

(the italic ones should have been created by this hack)

Well i cannot see anything wrong with your forums index.php.

Have you uploaded a fresh index.php at the moment to get rid of the errors?

hockyfan · #78 01-03-2004, 08:57 PM

Ok I'm no longer getting the black box, however the link works but it shows that the forum has zero posts etc. How can I change it to show just dashes, or a hit counter?

You shouldn't even see that rows - they are blank.

Could you show me your templates forumdisplay_linkbit_level1 and forumdisplay_linkbit_level2?

hockyfan · #80 01-03-2004, 10:27 PM

forumdisplay_linkbit_level1:

Code:

<tr align="center">
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left" valign="top" colspan="6">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
	<tr>
		<td valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/ext.gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
		<td><img src="images/clear.gif" width="9" height="1" alt=""></td>
		<td><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]" target="$forum[linktarget]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a><br>
		<smallfont>$forum[description] (Hits: $forum[linkhits])</smallfont></td>
	</tr>
	</table>
	</td>
</tr>

forumdisplay_linkbit_level2:

Code:

<tr align="center">
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/ext.gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left" colspan=5><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]" target="$forum[linktarget]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
	<br><smallfont>$forum[description] (Hits: $forum[linkhits])</smallfont></td>
</tr>

The templates look good. That makes me believe they aren't even used. This could happen if you

Missed the second code change in forumdisplay.php
Missed the code change in index.php

Could you please check them both? Is there any link where I can see your forum?
