And I suppose I HAVE got the time to post the same answer time and time again?

Incase it haden't escaped your notice the solution is even posted in the first post of the thread which you clearly haven't read.

I am on the fence here.....I like vbindex and I also like vbhome (lite)

What I am looking for is one of them that has a maxcharacters limit because some of the posts in my news forum can get so long that they muck up the look of the portal page.

Would you be able to add that to vbindex? because I would really like to use that one

You would need to change this query:

PHP Code:


			
$pollinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT *,thread.open FROM poll LEFT JOIN thread ON (thread.pollid = poll.pollid) WHERE thread.forumid='$pollsforum' ORDER BY poll.dateline DESC LIMIT 1");

And create a while loop similar to that of the news/threads. I don't have time to write/test it now but i'll try and look into it. If you page seems to have a high load time then I don't recoment this as the poll seems to increase this servely for some people.

Changing the sql is the 1st thing I did then got stuck in the php part of things...
I will look into the while loop.

In the next couple of days I hope to realease vBindex 2.1 Beta 3. This will be pretty much the same as 2.1 Final, but it won't have the installer done.

This will include all the new features mentioned above, bar the new installer/uninstaller.

how easy will it be to upgrade, ntldr?
especially if we've changed a lot of the templates.
