I have got a slight problem...Everything is working perfectly..But, when it pulls the news thread, it shows the Title of the thread, the users avatar, read full post, comments, etc.

But, no matter the amount of characters I set for it to show, it simply shows nothing in the body of the post.

Did I zig when I should have zagged somewhere in the setup? I am using vBulletin 3.0

Thanks,

Dave

Mine all works good, it even shows the news tiltes and avatars, except, it wont show the news content ...

Help please?

[ForKmaN]

ok, same problem as dbroomjr

[Rose]

Yep yep. I just upgraded to version 2.3.0 and I get everythign working fine also but the news won't pull.

Maybe it has to do with the file edit in which I found the line in three places in the 2.3.0 file? Wait, that won't make sense without reference. I'll be right back.

[Rose]

Update - for 2.3.0 users

First, make sure you ran the update counters after installing. If this doesn't fix the problem (of the news not being pulled onto the main page), then try this:

In newthread.php find the line

PHP Code:

 // Add postid to thread table if vBindex news forum
  if ($forumid=$newsforum) {
           $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET tpostid='$postid' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
  } 


You need to hardcode the forumid in, at least it worked for me. If it doesn't work for you - sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, change the above to something like below:

[php]

PHP Code:

 // Add postid to thread table if vBindex news forum
  if ($forumid==X) {
           $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET tpostid='$postid' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
  } 


Note - Change "X" to your forumid of the news forum. Also, notice there is now a double equal sign instead of a single sign.

how is that portal going, ntldr... i'm very curious about it.

Its almost done at last (code wise at least), I've the Links Directory and Installer to finish. I'm not sure if I'll be releasing it yet, and if I do it won't be till after vB3 has come out.

my site went live 1st of april, and i've gotten lots of great compliments on the off-forum pages, and each time i say it's thanks to your script!

WOW! You've done a fantastic job there Buddha, thats one impressive site/set of foums you've got

[Sting]

sorry but i am retarded or its too late for my brain to function properly.. but i installed vbindex fine... and it works greats, its awesome.. good job.. but the images are not working.... probably bc the vbindex.php is not in the forum/ dir. so where do i have to change it to fix it? i probably missed something... thnx in advance...

nvm.... i just had to change the images path.... on vbulletin cp... but the avatar image wouldnt work, bc u had to change it in vbindex.php... i am retarded

I don't know what I have done wrong at all! Is there anyway maybe some one who has this hack installed with Vbulletin 2.3.0 could send me the files that needed edited because I have gone through it like a tooth comb and just don?t know what?s happen.

If you could send me the files I would be so grateful my e-mail address is crowfield99@aol.com

Many thanks.

Dear NTLDR (I hope I did spell it right),

I have a little question regarding your portal software. I know this thread is huge but I haven't managed to find an answer yet. Maybe I was using the wrong keywords.

Anyway, in your hack description you mention "multiple" pages. How is that to be understood?

What I currently plan to do is creating a portal page for two different clans (Diablo 2 and Counterstrike) and I would each one to have their own news and polls forum. If possible to have their own "Newest Topics" etc listed.

Can that be done?

[scottct1]

Can someone tell me how I add a forum jump to my page?

I tried putting in <p align=right>$forumjump</p> but got nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
