Hey NTLDR, any comments about the template names by chance?

For instance: TWT's hack requires shoutbox_error.
Your hack requires: home_shoutbox_error.

There's a few others like this and I've renamed the those within the the new vbindex.php to match accordingly. Is this correct?

I prefixed all the templates with home_ so that they can be modified to change the look of the shoutbox on the home page without effecting what you see when you are looking at the full page shoutbox that is part of TWT's hack. It doesn't really matter what the templates are called, as long as they match throughout, ie in $templatesused at the top, in the eval statements and in the CP.

You will need to contact el3m3nt the author of vBindex 1.3.

Whats the DB Error you get? If its related to the shoutbox then you haven't installed the prerequisit. If not could you post the error here? Otherwise it will still be in 2.1. I'm having no errors with this currently.

First of all NTLDR I want to commend you for a great hack and all the support you have given to all the people like me asking for help...

First of all I was wondering how i can add in the right pane the last posts for some selected forums...

and secondly, I a user logs in and has a PM waiting the normal popup window will appear and if he tries to follow the popup box to read the message, and error appears. It is a cgi error. i think it is because the url it is linking to is wrong... here is my forum..

thanks for all your help

Change (in 2.0.1):

PHP Code:


			
if  ($action == "getnew") {

    // new posts

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("select threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid from thread WHERE visible=1 AND thread.lastpost>=".$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]." AND thread.open<>10 ".$threadsql." order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

}

To:

PHP Code:


			
if  ($action == "getnew") {

    // new posts

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("select threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid from thread WHERE visible=1 AND thread.lastpost>=".$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]." AND thread.open<>10 AND  forumid=X ".$threadsql." order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

}

Replace X with the forumid. To add more forums add AND forumid=X after the last one.

Edit the head_newpm template and put $bburl before the (I think 2) instances of private.php that way they will be sent to the right URL

I'm getting a db error. Maybe it's the same one. Just installed the rc 1.3 on top of a 2.0.1u.

forgot the error:

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: SELECT thread.*,threadpost.pagetext AS pagetext FROM thread LEFT JOIN post AS threadpost ON (thread.tpostid = threadpost.postid) WHERE forumid = '3' ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC LIMIT 5
mysql error: Unknown column 'thread.tpostid' in 'on clause'

mysql error number: 1054

You haven't done the changes that are in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...664#post305664 like it says to to in the install instructions in the first post. Make those changes and you won't get the DB error.
