*sigh* I should have left things the way they were, but alas, I was tempted. So, in light of this:

I removed all of the old vbindex code.
Reinstalled fresh.
Had to make some changes like not showing certain forums on latest threads, recopying all of my original templates over, etc.

However, NOW the news doesn't show up right and I tried to use the fix with "setpostid.php", this is the error I got:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE thread SET tpostid= WHERE threadid=256
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE threadid=256' at line 1

Thank you

Weird, I moved about 4 posts from one Forum to another and left it so it said Moved:Thread Name in the old thread. That's where I'm getting that error. If I post a link to the problematic thread, delete it, then it runs fine. Hmmm.

I've changed setpostid.php very slightly, try it now and see if it works or gives you the same error

Also NTLDR, I noticed that in the newest RC that you've got up there, you have original vbulletin code in the section that says "copy and paste from lines 142-202" or whatever.

Thanks for that groovesalad, thats exactly what the problem is

I'm on to this now

LightBringer · #**738** 10-17-2002, 08:33 PM

hehe that setpostid worked, I added in the forums I DIDNT want to show up Latest Threads by placing a forumid!=forumid# (IE: forumid!=43) in the vbindex threadsquery string and now everything looks dandy!

Cosmetic Change advice:

In your home_shoutboxbit, ya may want to change it from this:

Quote:

<td bgcolor=$color valign="middle"><a href="$bburl/member.php?s=$sessionhash[sessionid]&action=getinfo&userid=$userid"><normalfont>$us ername</a> $shout_text</normalfont></td>

to this:

Quote:

<td bgcolor=$color valign="middle"><a href="$bburl/member.php?s=$sessionhash[sessionid]&action=getinfo&userid=$userid"><smallfont>$use rname</a> $shout_text</smallfont></td>

Just changed the font from normal to small to match the rest of the front page.

It looks great NTLDR...
Have you been able to fix it so that unregistered and registered users NOT in a particluar usergroup don't see specific threads from forums they shouldn't have access to in the "Latest Threads" section? I like the ability for users that have access to the private forums, to be able to see them in the Latest Threads, whereas, those that shouldn't can't.

I'm sure it's just a matter of adding "bbusergroup!=whatever" somewhere...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
