great worked perfect

what about those thread icons are they gone in this version or is there still a way to add these? (currently icons are not displayed instead a "6")

this apears 3 times in the misc.php do I have to add the code 3 times.

thanx

doformfooter("Update");

[NTLDR]

Icons don't appear for the threads in this one, use $latestthread[iconid] which should give you the ID for the icon and change add the HTML from the old version with that variable in it.

[-=dm=-]

in my old vBindex.php I have this line:

PHP Code:

if ($latestthread['iconid']==0) { $icon=""; } else { $icon="<img src="{*imagesfolder}/icons/icon$latestthread[iconid].gif" border=0>"; } 


in threadbit template:

<td bgcolor="$threadbg" align="center">$icon</td>

but I dont know where to insert this code in the new vBindex.php


[EDIT]

The WOL will work correctly, for one file of each name. When looking at the homepage your localtion is set as / which is determined to be the Forum Home Page.

Hmmm, so basically the way I described it working is the only way it will work ie. unless vbindex.php is in the address bar it won't show it correctly because of the "/" being regarded as forum home?

Nuts

Is there any way around this?

[-=dm=-]

ok fixed
replaced:

PHP Code:

while ($latestthread = $DB_site->fetch_array($threadsquery)) {

        $title = unhtmlspecialchars($latestthread['title']);
        $starter = $latestthread['postusername'];
        $numreplies = $latestthread['replycount'];
        $lastposter = $latestthread['lastposter'];
        $mpostid= $latestpost['postid'];
        $postdate=vbdate($dateformat,$latestpost[dateline]);
        $posttime=vbdate($timeformat,$latestpost[dateline]);
        $postforum=$latestthread['title'];
        $postforumid=$latestthread['forumid'];

        $gothreadid = $latestthread['threadid'];
        if (($counter++ % 2) != 0) {
        $threadbg="#F1F1F1";
        } else {
        $threadbg="#DFDFDF";
        }
        eval("\$threadbits .= "".gettemplate('home_threadbit')."";");
    }
eval("\$threads = "".gettemplate('home_threads')."";");
} 


with this

PHP Code:

            while ($latestthread = $DB_site->fetch_array($threadsquery)) {
            $result1 = $DB_site->query("SELECT postid,dateline,pagetext FROM post WHERE threadid='$latestthread[threadid]' order by dateline desc limit 1");
            $latestpost = $DB_site->fetch_array($result1);
            $result2 = $DB_site->query("SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid='$latestthread[forumid]' limit 1");
            $latestforum = $DB_site->fetch_array($result2);

            $title = $latestthread['title'];
            $starter = $latestthread['postusername'];
            $numreplies = $latestthread['replycount'];
            $lastposter = $latestthread['lastposter'];
            $mpostid= $latestpost['postid'];
            $postdate=vbdate($dateformat,$latestpost[dateline]);
            $posttime=vbdate($timeformat,$latestpost[dateline]);
            $postforum=$latestforum['title'];
            $postforumid=$latestthread['forumid'];

            if ($latestthread['iconid']==0) { $icon=""; } else { $icon="<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vbimages/icons/icon$latestthread[iconid].gif" border=0>"; }

            $gothreadid = $latestthread['threadid'];
            if (($counter++ % 2) != 0) {
                $threadbg="#F1F1F1";
            } else {
                $threadbg="#DFDFDF";
            }

            eval("\$threadbits .= "".gettemplate('home_threadbit')."";");
        }
}

eval("\$threads = "".gettemplate('home_threads')."";"); 


I added this code from the old vBindex now its working.

but I have still the news problem.

My index.php is just a standard redirect that points to vbindex.php so I can see exactly where they are:

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

require('./global.php');

eval("standardredirect("".gettemplate("redirect_vbindex")."","vbindex.php?s=$session[sessionhash]");");

?>

Create a template called redirect_vbindex and add a redirection message to it.

I suggest that no one uses this as it will use 2 queries for each thread, and a base query, compared to the v2.1 code which uses 1 in total. For 5 threads thats a saving of 10 queries.

but I couldnt get it to work with the other code

Just add this part in the while loop:

PHP Code:

if ($latestthread['iconid']==0) { 
    $icon="";
} else { 
    $icon="<img src="{*imagesfolder}/icons/icon$latestthread[iconid].gif" border=0>"; 
}
