vBindex

Latest Version: 1.3

This hack is not very special for me. I just wanted to create a mainpage on which you can see.. (as a member) everything what u like to see. The idea of the script is similar to the vbHome of nakkid and also a little bit to the vBPortal. I tested all of them.. but i was looking for something better . so i decided to write such a script myself...

Features:

• Active threads & newest posts
• News & Polls (read from a newsforum and a pollforum)
• Quick CP Links on the index-site
• Buddies on the index-site
• Very easy to customize. Just edit the templates!
• Available in english and german!

Summary: On this index-site you can see everything what you as a member would like to see .

Demo-Sites:

• http://partylife.ch [German Version]
• http://www.kampfkunst-info.de.vu [German Version]
• http://www.ukwinternet.co.uk/forum/home.php [English Version]

I have a stupid question how do I hide poll forum from normal members and still let them vote on the mainpage(vbindex) cuz when I change the settinges in "Registered user group" the forum settings jumps to "private forum" see the screenshot.

If you just want to hide the forum so it doesn't appear on the front page install this hack by Firefly https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=28262 then set the permissions to that users can reply to threads/posts or create new posts.

damn this is one of the best forums I just love the whole design it looks great nice works buddy. its in my "good looking vB?s" bookmarks catagory now

when I saw this hack by el3m3nt, the first thing I did was REMOVE the whole postnuke site from my server, I better like vBindex, its just what I need.

btw I have just installed the hack by FireFly, but still no luck

members are only able to vote if they can see the forum this is strange, I know Im probably over looking something....god I should take a break...

Thanks -=dm=- I'm glad you like the site, I've managed to hack vBindex so it can power multiple pages using the format home.php?&page=template_name so I can run my how website off it, I like vBindex much more than Postnuke or vbportal which so many sites use.

Have you still got the forum set as a private forum? If you do then you need to make it so its not private and just hidden with firefly's hack... I'll post my permissions on my polls forum for you so you can see what I've got.

[EDIT]

See attached jpeg for my polls forum permissions.

Thanx
Forums are not set as private.
as member the get no permission message and moderators and admin the get this message:

The action you have attempted could not be performed as your session appears to be invalid. Click the below link to attempt this action again with a new session.
Try this action again!

this is strange...

EDIT:
ups!
ok thanx let me try this.

Thanx!
now the are able to vote, cool
but mod/admin are still getting the above messageThe action you have attempted.....

[NTLDR]

Has changing the permissions to the same as those in the attachment above made any difference?

[-=dm=-]

it was your attachment/screenshot wich helped me out
"but mod/admin are still getting the above messageThe action you have attempted..... "

thanx
