close the thread after your mods and admin post it then nobody can reply to it

drives fast. I speak about threads, not reply post...

Oh god .. 17 pages already?

i really do not feel like reading all 17 pages :/

NTLDR .. thanks for this awsome hack.

i am using v1.3 and had followed up that thread closely to maintain a fixed version because bits and pieces were all over the place .. is this the case here? or is the 1st post updated always?

thanks again.

drives fast · #**335** 08-27-2002, 01:45 AM

then if you are speaking of threads then the other post was correct.

you want only admins and moderators to be the only ones able to post in your news forum

if that is so then you go to your forum permissions and set them so only admin and mods have permissions to post in that forum

actually....this line of questioning and answering belongs in the regular discussions area at vbulletin support forums and not in the hacks forum since this is not a feature of this hack...it is a regular feature in vbulletin

MalaK_3araby,
The first post contains the good file but there is some good stuff throughout this vast thread you might want to read anyway.

Greetings,

I recently installed vbindex but can't seem to figure something out. I have my forums one level below root called "forums" (original huh?). I made the following change to the index.php:

// relitive path to forums directory
// un-comment and set the path if vBindex is not run from the forums root directory
chdir('./forums');

Yet when I go to my home page, the links will not go into the /forums directory.

i.e. The path to new posts links to: http://www.cadchat.com/search.php?action=getnew when it should link to http://www.cadchat.com/forums/search.php?action=getnew

What am I missing?

Cheers!
David

The zip in the first post contains the latest official version with all the bug fixes currently avalible, there are however like drives fast said some mods in this thread that specific users have requested that arn't part of the official distribution.

As none of the links are correct it means that you have $bburl set incorrectly, make sure you have the forums URL set in the vB Options correctly.

dmwhynot · #**340** 08-27-2002, 02:16 PM

NTLDR,

Amazing...I stare at the thing so long and I can't even see that the full path isn't correct in the basic vb setup (forgot to add the /forums). Duh....

Thanks for the heads up. Now onto the 2.2.7 patch.

Cheers!
David

FCK

I want, that in a forum ALL users could write, but in news on vbIndex threads from admins, Mods, SMs were displayed only.
Do not answer, if not you understand about what speech!
