Once again, great hack

I'm redesigning my site again and I'd like the left and right columns to extend to the bottom of the page, as far as the centre/news column goes. Is there a simple way of doing this? I know it's just a matter of reorganising the tables but there's so many

TIA,

G :bandit:

I have a problem. Sometimes when I call vbindex.php it says it can't include global.php, some other times it works just fine. Any ideas?

[mallJack]

Okay I am very new at this kind of stuff. I see you have to get your permission to use this hack. I was wondering if you offered a service (don't mind paying), where you actually install this for me.

I have never installed a hack, although I believe this is what I am looking for.

I want to add hot topics or new posts to other areas of my web site.

As you can tell, I am more than a rookie at this. I can design my site and maintain it in dreamweaver, but I always seek help for install and harder stuff.

Thank you in advance

Hello...

I have a problem like many others ...

I want that this New Vbulletin Portal
looks like this My old wbb Portal

Can someone tell me how i can do this??
And why i dont see anything in the news???

And i dont understand this part in the instuction (i am german) :



Still in vbindex.php find the section that has:

// start vBulletin original code
// -------------------------
// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 142 - 202(in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)
// -------------------------
// end vBulletin original code

and replace:



those lines with lines 142-202 (thats the numbers in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)

line 142 starts:

$activeusers = "";
$loggedinusers = "";
if ($displayloggedin) {

and 202 ends:

$totalonline=$numberregistered+$numberguest;
$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;

Excellent work, very nice job.

Only if you know how long I left //chdir {./forum} commented, lol. I finally realized, uncommented it and everything came together.

I felt so silly.

But now that it all works, its awesome. I just upgraded to your most recent version, I like the addition of the Shoutbox and what not. Very Very Nice. Excellent work man.

Thank you alot.

I to am having this problem, the NEWS is not being displayed, I see a $newstext, however I don't see that template.

I am curious why my news isn't being displayed, everything else works and shows up except for the NEWS TEXT itself.

[Nickoli]

Not sure if this should be asked in this thread or the shoutbox thread, But I will try here anyways. As shoutbox works fine.

My shoutbox hack works fine, as does the vbindex hack. But for some reason smilies wont show up in the vbindex pages shotbox. The url to the image smilies in the vbindex shotbox is not adding the forum dir to the url. Its useing

http://x.com/images/smilies/x.gif
apposed to
http://x.com/forum/images/smilies/x.gif

Where would I add the $bburl to fix this? Or do I fix it in some other way?
