vBadvanced.com is now open! There you will find more information regarding vBadvanced Homepage, FAQ's, hacks & modifications, and more.


vBadvanced Homepage v1.1 Released! (01.27.04)

vBadvanced Homepage is an advanced homepage / portal that will allow you to include different options from your vBulletin message board on your site's homepage. It also allows you to easily create and manage new pages which are completely powered by vBulletin and vBadvanced. There are over 40 options where you can enable/disable the features, plus everything is template based so it is very easy to customize and change everything through your Admin CP.



Features:
  • Login box for members to log in to your site on the homepage.
  • Post News in a forum you specify and have it appear on your homepage.
  • Create new pages in which the content will replace the news section of your homepage.
  • Show the latest threads started in your forum on your homepage.
  • Show a poll and allow users to vote and see the results on your homepage.
  • Shows users avatar, new private messages, and buddy list for members who are logged in.
  • Shows a list of active users.
  • Shows statistics such as total members, threads, posts, top poster, newest member, and today's birthday's.
  • Shows a mini calendar with links to days with scheduled events, and a box with today's scheduled events.
  • Search box to allow users to quickly search your forums.
  • Set and change all options via the Admin CP.
  • Ability to easily switch on/off the polls, users avatar, buddy list, online users, search box, calendar, custom templates, news icons, news comments, smilies, set the maximum number of news posts, and many other options via the Admin CP.
  • Everything is completely template based so it is very easy to customize.
  • Install file that will make all database queries and templates for you in seconds.
  • Uninstalls in seconds.
  • Tested and stable with vBulletin 3.0 RC.
  • 100% validated XHTML 1.0 compliance
A nice feature of vBadvanced Homepage is that it is optimized and designed for large web sites. vBadvanced Homepage performs only 5 queries with all the options turned off. Some options will cause the script to perform extra queries, but even with all the options turned on it still performs only 17 queries at max.

Here is a list of each extra function that will cause extra queries:
  • News - 1 query
  • Latest Threads - 1 query
  • Poll - 1 query (2 if the user has voted)
  • User's Avatar - 1 query
  • Buddy List and/or Online Users - 1 query
  • Mini Calendar - 3 queries (none for the simple calendar)
  • Stats - 2 queries
  • New Posts - 1 query

I remember reading somewhere in all these posts someone requesting to have the right column disappear when using the ?page=blah fucntionality with this hack.

Please forgive me if I am repeating someone else's work, but I cannot find that post again.

I have slightly adjusted the index template to be able to do this. i.e. when you call: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?page=blah then the right column disappears. Under all other instances it stays.

Here's how to do it:

in your index template under the index group find the following code:
Code:
<td valign="top" width="175">
	
	$custom2
above that add:
Code:
<if condition="!$page">
then find the following code:
Code:
<!-- End Latest Threads -->
and add below that:
Code:
</if>
then save the template. Now the right column will disappear when using the ?page=blah functionality. Simple, but effective.

This is of course assuming that you haven't changed the positions of the right column items. Of course, you can manipulate it to your heart's content, just make sure that the if conditional is above the <td> line for the right column, and that you close it before the last </td> and it will work.

Hope someone can find this useful.

you can see this in action at: http://www.noblepagan.com (with right column), and at http://www.noblepagan.com/index.php?page=testing (without right column).

not much actually, simply add a template to your forum with the name of index_*whatever* (*whatever* being the name of the page), then call it with: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?page=*whatever* (*whatever* being equivalent to the *whatever* in the template name you added).

within the template put the HTML coding you want to use for that page. It will only do HTML from what I can tell, as no PHP code is EVAL'd from what I can see. Please correct me if I am wrong in this.

So basically the only thing that you'd need to know is basic HTML, and what variables you are going to use from VB.

The only thing besides HTML that can be used in the templates are the if conditionals which allow smiple if statments (like php) to be run

hey guys, I have vb advanced modified so that I have one main index page w 2 columns, and then another content page for my addon pages that only has a left column.

However, i have a video database on my site, and i would like to use the news style function as a way to display all my videos on a content page. So bassically, is it possible to still have news on main page, and another like system w a diff template (so i can make it look more like a video listing than a news post)

I posted a while back with a problem with the images (I've only just got my computer back to post this!) and tried the suggestions offered.

The problem is, the broken link is linking to the icons. And when posts have an icon selected, they DO appear - But no icon selected, means there shouldn't be an image - Yet a broken image link appears, even though its not linking to an icon! >_< Would some kind of clear.gif file sort it, and if so, how do I get it to recognize it? I don't know how to make it stop with the broken image linking thing >_>

If all else fails, is there an easy way to uninstall the Homepage and return image locations etc back to normal?

All help is really appreciated.. There is nothing more ugly than a broken image link on a website
