Looking good NTLDR!

I'd like to see the ability to pick and choose which forums parse in the active threads and news sections from within the admin cp.

Maybe toss in a mini-calendar feature too.

Any eta on arrival with v2.1?

hey. installed vbindex on 2.2.7... figured i'd be the guinea pig. thought everything was going great until i noticed the poll didn't work properly. was going to change the template as per the instructions several posts back, but when i tried to access the Modify Templates in the admin cp, i get this error.

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/fulldvdr/public_html/admin/template.php on line 362

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /home/fulldvdr/public_html/admin/template.php on line 368

and the section in question, starting at line 362, is this...

attached.

any thoughts?

(btw, if this sucker works as well as i think it will, you'll have saved me several months, i figure. and for that, i thank you bud!)

*editing, as the forward slashes don't want to appear in this post properly. attached the chunk of code in question instead.*

[NTLDR]

You have edited the templates.php template incorrectly, the line needs to be:

$only['home'] = 'vBindex';

ie, no \ 's in it

[Buddha]

actually, isn't that file edited by the install file... cause i didn't edit that part.
??

regardless, i took those slashes out and she works like a charm now. changed the poll template as well and she's beautiful.

thank you very much for the hack and for the speedy help. much appreciated buddy!

Hello,

When installing this hack on 2.2.7 with vbhacker.php, the string

$only[\'showgroup\'] = \'Show Groups\';

is not found in template.php

Any ETA for a new vbindex.hack.php?

Cheers,

Herby

PS I did edit it manually, but would like to avoid any manual tweaking on several installations.

It should be in there, i've not looked or tested this with vB 2.2.7 though, make sure your looking for the string without the \ 's

vBindex 2.1 should be out in the next week.
