vBindex 3.0.0 Beta 3 Released!

[high]vBindex Beta 3 Release Information[/high]

Winter Systems are happy to announce the third and hopefully final Beta for vBindex 3.0.0. The main reason for this being beta is the new template and phrase installer. It is strongly recommended you backup your database before installing or upgrading.

So whats new with Beta 3?

• Fully phrased front end;
• Use date/time option (Today/Yesterday and Detailed) specified in vB Options;
• Allow users to delete own shouts if option is turned on;
• Select which usergroups can delete all shouts (ie moderate);
• Templates/Phrases installed during install/upgrade;
• Expanded extra page functionality, see following post.
• Only 6 queries with everything off and 11 with everything on;
• PM popup on vBindex working with Beta 7 and above;
• Included a search.php to prevent hacking vbulletin_global.js;
• All bugs from Beta 2 fixed.

question: on my site www.paintballmessage.com, only two news posts show text... how can I fix this (its vbindex 2.1)

[NTLDR]

Please read the thread before asking a question thats been asked countless times before. You need run the Update Counters option for vBindex.

[PAINTBALLM]

and how do I do this? I updated my counters a long time ago, it never helped vbindex at all. NOTE: Its doing this for new posts as well, anything after 2 = no text.

[NTLDR]

Make sure you have followed the instructions, if you haven't edited newthread.php then it won't work for new posts and the postid update counters option will have to be run after every new post.

[PAINTBALLM]

your not understanding me. I did edit newthread.php, and It DOES add new posts, however after 2 new posts it does NOT display the post text for 3 & so on.. I have also updated my post counters after posting, and it does not work.

[NTLDR]

Like I've already said countless times in this thread, using the update counters option that you added (by editing admin/misc.php) for vBindex fixes this.

[PAINTBALLM]

I never had instructions to add that. I will re download and give it a look. Thanks
