Hi.... any ideas about how can you get Private messages to show right under your buddy list ?

[NTLDR]

You need to add the nessersary query/queries to vbindex.php and adjust your templates accrodingly.

Sorry I dont know how to do this.... I?m a newbie
can you plz explain step by step ( if you have the time )

btw www.swespy.firstnet.se - looks nice now

Take a look through the thread for how to add extra features, its been covered step by step before. The code you need to add is in forums/index.php to get the PM info:

PHP Code:

//check usergroup of user to see if they can use PMs
.... some code ..... 


[Rodney]

okay... tnx... I?ll give it a try... not sure how thou

( have been readning this thread in 3 days now, not sure my brain can take more info right now, also just moving server for my forum)

everythign installed alright.

but i get this error when i go to the index.php (formerly mYvBindex.php)

Warning: ChDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /vol/drive2/sites/site39/web/index.php on line 13

mYvBindex.php is in the root dir and the forums are in /forums

server has one of those /web dirs that everything goes into. but if i put that in the path it doesn't work either. (i'v never had to put /web in and path to make anythign work before)

if you go to www.nbdclan.com/forums the board works fine.

if you go to www.nbdclan.com you get that error posted above. Any help would be appreciated. I know the path is wrong. But nothing i have tried has worked.

Thanks in advance

mYvBindex is a rip off of this hack and others, I have nothing to do with it, i sugest that you ask in the hack authors thread.

[Deviant_Mind]

well....then if you could point me to a portal system that isn't a rip off i'll use that one. Dosen't matter to me. I just want one that works. And this is the url to the support thread in the hack description.

[NTLDR]

As you can see from the thread title this isn't mYvBindex non are there any files in the zip called mYvBindex.php.

As for alternatives, do a search you'll find many.
