Ok I didn't cut and past it right like you said LOL

But it shows like a sticky in the forum and the next post I make goes under the sticky in the forum, however on the portal it pushes the sticky post under the new post.

It’s not that important NTLDR I just was curios if it could be done. You have done enough work on this portal already you don't need any added work LOL

Thanks anyway

Cheers

I cant get this to work. i have done exactly whats needed regarding to the text file, i have used the install file also but theres one error and i dont know what to put in the sql table...

Invalid SQL: SELECT u.username, u.userid, s.shoutid, s.shout_text FROM user u, shoutbox s WHERE u.userid = s.userid ORDER BY s.timestamp DESC LIMIT 10
mysql error: Table 'slask.shoutbox' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

i guess i can just make it but whats to be in it ?

[NTLDR]

You haven't followed the instructions. You need to either turn the shoutbox off in the ACP or install the shoutbox hack.

[anders]

ok then i missed that part but i cant seem to find the info actually saying just what u said in the post install txt file...?!?

Twice on the first post in this thread. Please read the info avalible before installing hacks.

No wonder so many people end up with broken boards

Lmao

I think you need to ask Chen to make some sort of button for the Hack Creator, that, like the "Enter your Liscence info" thing, sends them the "Hack Instructions" that you enter

I am having a problem. I upload the vbindex.php and for www.mysite.com/vbindex.php I just get a blank page. Also, i'm not too sure if I edited the vbindex.php correctly. Also my forums is at forums.mysite.com and my homepage is at www.mysite.com do I upload the vbindex.php and just rename it index.php for my homepage?

[NTLDR]

Check that tne home_ templates exisit in your syle and that you have uncommented the following:

PHP Code:

chdir('/path/tp/forums'); 


Making sure you either put the FULL path to your forums directory (where global.php is) or the path relitive from your vbindex.php file, it would be something like: ./forums or ./forums.mysite.com or ../../forums.mysite.com, it depends on the host.

[Tony DiMera]

It works if i put it in my forums.site.com but if I put it in my www.site.com I get a blank page. for line 26 and 27 of the vbindex.php I have this:

PHP Code:

//chdir('/home/virtual/site11/fst/var/www/html/forums.mysite.com/');
require('global.php'); 


[NTLDR]

You need to remove the two // before the chdir statement as its being ignored at the moment.
