3. Check back a few pages this has been covered lots and lots of times.

Can you please elaborate a bit on #2?

And sorry about asking something that was answered, I'm going to read back some.

NTLDR · #**1193** 12-10-2002, 06:19 PM

Under your templates you have the "sets" for each style. Click the edit button for the footer template and copy the code in it, then edit the home_footer template and delete the code in it and paste in the copied code there, repeat this for the header.

Change any links that point to your site to add $bburl eg:

Code:

<a href="$bburl/usercp.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">User CP</a>

Thanks man, I've gotten it pretty much up and ready.

If someone could help me out with my template for vbindex, I'd really appeciate it.

http://www.erecellstudios.com/vB/vbindex.php <= You can log in under guest/guest to see it in the Ekko template. See, the sites are white, but they should be that same grid-thing as the forum.

I am trying to add more pages to my site, and i created a new template using the home template. So i named the new template home_generalrules and the address is www.blahblah.com/vbindex.php?page=generalrules. But when i click the link, all i get is a blank white page. Yes , i did copy the html to the new template and change it accordingly lol.

I'm getting the same thing too. When I installed this there were already 80 pages in this thread. . . and after reading up to page 10. . sorta hard to follow some things. . .

http://wisdomtrip.sytes.net/site/

at the bottom will be a user agreement link in the footer. . . that is the only thing I've tried. . .and I followed ur instructions 100% from the ones on page 4. . .

>edit<

I made the template "home_agreement" and replaced $news with the content I wished to be viewed. . . so is that link right?

NTLDR · #**1197** 12-11-2002, 05:24 PM

Templates should be named home_extra_pagename and the URL should follow the syntax:

Code:

vbindex.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&page=pagename

in addition to the url redirect that NTLDR suggested above, you can also make copies of vbindex.php as i have done. rename the copied file 'generalrules.php', and have it pull from a seperate forum. that way, you can populate your entire off-forum site with vbindex copies that pull from different forums. ntldr explained all of this in previous posts if you are interested. makes for an excellent, dynamic site that can easily be administered from the forum. works great on my site.

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