Please read this post and the thread before asking questions. You may find that you question has already been answered. I will ignore posts which ask questions that have been asked several times already.

I installed 2.0.1 correctly and had it running fine. When i installed 2.1, here is what I got
Quote:
Database error in vBulletin 2.2.6:
Invalid SQL: SELECT thread.*,threadpost.pagetext AS pagetext FROM thread LEFT JOIN post AS threadpost ON (thread.tpostid = threadpost.postid) WHERE forumid = '31' ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC LIMIT 2
mysql error: Unknown column 'thread.tpostid' in 'on clause'
You must allready have already installed vBindex v2.0 or v2.0.1 in order to use the Release Candidate. No installer is included for RC1.
Did it

Run the SQL in vbisettings.sql, this will add the vBindex settings to the database, then go into vBulletin Options in the Admin CP and change the options to what you require.
Did it
Quote:
There are one/two edits required for the vbindex.php file itself. I. Copy the code from forum/index.php where indicated in the file. II. Change the chdir(); statement if you are running outside your forums directory.
Did it
Quote:
If you rename the vbindex.php file, you will need to change the name in the home_postshout template.
Didn't rename it, so don't need to do it
Quote:
To add the shoutbox to the left/right side add $homeshoutbox after one of the <tr>'s do not put it in its own <tr><td>. The only template edit since v2.0.1 is home_newsbit which adds $readmore incase you have $maxchars set.
Did it

Already had it installed. So what else should I do?
Ok, it works great, the only thing I can't seem to get to show is the text for the News section. I have it set to 500 characters, so I think that's plenty. Any ideas?
