Yes, if you find the bbcodeparse lines in the polls section and alter the variables from the code I posted for the news it should work fine for the polls too.

Buddha · #**1033** 11-05-2002, 11:03 PM

thanks. i tried, but i'm not a php coder. i don't which variables to use, and so i tried a few that seemed to make sense going by the rest of the code, but kept getting errors.

if you get a chance, i'd appreciate some help on this. if you're too busy though, i understand.

thanks.

problem solved.
i grabbed the polls portion of vbindex v2.01 and put it in the place of the polls section of vbindex v2.1
and it works again.
don't know what the hell that was all about, but hey, it works.
was there a lot different between those two, or just the admincp integration?

*edit*
tacked on a querry though.
christ... there's no winning with those damn querries, isn't there.
lol.

How can i make the pictures show on the homepage? (vbindex)
I only see an url.

In the newsforum itself the picture is shown when i want to reply.

DeadBeat · #**1036** 11-06-2002, 11:09 AM

I just installed this and it works fine but it is all new to me as this is the first time i messed with VBB or php. Anyway, my prob is simple my banner shows at the top but the buttons don't show up under it they show up next to it on the right. I assume to fix this it is in the templates somewhere under vbindex, but where?
I saw this question asked once as i sorted through the 60 plus pages but he found it himself....so i made the post.

lol.

The main edits IIRC was an if statment to control the poll on/off switch in the ACP, I tided up the polls query and changed the bbcodeparse lines to remove the query thats been added on.

If the picture is placed in the post with vBcode or HTML then it should show on the homepage, if its an attachment it won't.

I asume you run vBindex outside of your forums directory, in which case set the path to your Images Folder in the styles section of the ACP to the full url.

DeadBeat · #**1040** 11-06-2002, 12:39 PM

ok, yes it is outside the forums directory.....but all the images are there right now in the style section the image path is set to /images if i change it to the url it dissapears (theimages).
i would not think it have anything to do with that being images are there i just wanna know how to go about making my buttons centered more on the portal page. like under my banner
sorry about this as u can tell i am quite the newbie

NTLDR · #**1041** 11-06-2002, 03:10 PM

If you want to change the locations of the buttons then you need to edit the home_header template.

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