this won't load at all. the regular index page still loads:

I get an Error 404 for that URL.

Did you run the vbi_install.php and did it compleate?

Do you have the home and home_xxx templates in the Admin CP?

Lastly have you copied the code from the vBulletin index.php to the vbindex.php?

[amity]

i have all the vBindex Templates in my admin. i am pretty sure the installer ran all the way- i do know i can't run it again because i am getting a duplicate table error if i do.

i did copy that code from my index.php also.

i just went in and dropped canviewvbindex table from usergroup in the database and ran the installer again. the installer completed, but still nothing. i am looking at the table (canview...) and it says:

smallint 6(length/values) null

is that correct?

i will keep nosing around. thank you for your input and help! i appreciate it...

The canviewvbindex field is only used to specify which usergroups are allowed to view the vBindex page.

I'll take a look when vB can connect to your MySQL Server again:

Warning: Too many connections in /home/amitymes/amitymama-www/vb/admin/db_mysql.php on line 42

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Too many connections in /home/amitymes/amitymama-www/vb/admin/db_mysql.php on line 42

You need to edit the home template.

Have you got a screenshot/url so I can take a look? Was the post just plain text?

No problem, we all make silly mistakes

[DWZ]

First off, may I say great hack

but I have a few little problems I hope you can work out how to fix

This is where I have installed it: http://www.consoleradar.com/index.php

Now, my forum is located at http://www.consoleradar.com/forums/ , so I put in the vbindex.php file (renamed to index.php) where vB is installed, and it's working fine.

But yeah, as I said a few things, if you look at the left hand side, down to the online users bit, it lists the online users, but their profile is all linked to go to http://www.consoleradar.com/member.php , not http://www.consoleradar.com/forums/member.php is there anyway to fix this?

Next small problem, the poll, I can't get it to work. I put in the right forum ID in the file, and made a new thread with a poll in it, but it wont come up on the vbindex page?

Last thing, when you login, it takes you to the forum home page, is it possible for it to take you back to the news page (i.e. vbindex?)

That's about it, thanks

[Mr_P]

One little question

the first post that showed on the vbindex page has a box around it and looks ok as has comments in it etc (Comments (0) )
now when it adds another post to vbindex page which is now called index.php the rest have no boxes round them

Example :

Its me
- by Mr_P

besides that it runs well - i have sorted polls out and even got members online to show on main page so chuffed but can u say if the above about the box is correct or what?
