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

It should be put in a table with classes. Something like this...

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Yorkie Information</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">Content Here</td>
</tr>
</table>

this question is a repost of mine from over on vbadvanced.com

*problem*

http://www.clubprotege.com/adv_index.php works excellently.

http://www.clubprotege.com/adv_index.php?styleid=13 does not.

the primary header image used is not consistent with the style,
try going to my second link above
then entering the forums.
the header is three images for the theme, but the page template is only missing one image, and even it's filename is wrong for that theme.
i found out what vBadvanced is calling for the image, under stylevars in the style manager, the "Title Image".. but the theme does'nt use that at all.

all image paths except the header have been have all been corrected.

I am trying to install this and am on step two and already confused. The instructions say:

"Open the templates.txt file which was included in the zip file. Make the changes to each template as specified there."

The way its written is like this is the most obvious thing in the world so maybe I am asking a stupid question, but what does that mean? There are no instructions in the template.txt file, just code. Where do I put that code? Talk to me like I'm a dummy...cause I am.

Thanks,

Shan

Thanks Nexvision, but that does not provide any more info than the Readme did.

Anyhow, the problem I was having is I did not know where to find the templates. I happened to see them when I clicked the wrong drop-down when selecting a style and got the job done. All is working now.

I would suggest changing the readme instructions to be more specific there, like noting where you find your templates.

So far, it looks like and awesome portal!

Shan
