NTLDR,
It was stupid user error
I did miss a whole line of the instructions....
*hangs head down in shame*

[NTLDR]

@mccollin

PHP Code:

verifyid('Article', $articleid); 


Will do the job, place this above the query and it will show and error message if the threadid doesn't exist

stuck on this.....

====================================

Still in vbindex.php find the section that has:

// start vBulletin original code
// -------------------------
// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 142 - 202(in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)
// -------------------------
// end vBulletin original code

and replace:

// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 142 - 202(in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)

those lines with lines 142-202 (thats the numbers in an unhacked 2.2.8 index.php)

line 142 starts:

$activeusers = "";
$loggedinusers = "";
if ($displayloggedin) {

and 202 ends:

$totalonline=$numberregistered+$numberguest;
$numberinvisible=$numberregistered-$numbervisible;
==========================================

anyone possibly have this code thats supposed to be replaced with the 2.2.8 index.php?

this instruction totally blew me away..can anyone assist?

[NTLDR]

Thats the lines you need to copy and paste from vBulletin's index.php

[mv540]

what lines?

142 - 202 ????

does this mean lines 142 TO line 202 or line 142 & line 202?

i still dont undertand what i have to do here to make this portal work...

[mv540]

ok i figured out the line deal....now im stuck on this...

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directoryin /home/web/mysite.com/public_html/vbindex.php on line 27.

so im guessing something should be added infromt of the global?

require('./global.php');

i already have the chdir correct, but under it should the global be as is or am i missing something....?

People aren't hear 24/7 to help you. There is no need to bump a post untill at least 24 hours have pasted.

excuse me but do you know the answer? if not then go do something productive. with all do respect, i dont have the patients to even bother posting for support in here anymore...im kind of tired of waiting 3 or 4 days to get ONE question answered and im sure i speak for many.....ya figure will all the members here someone has to have an answer to every question...and it should not take this long to pull an answer out of someone...

no wonder people arnt useing vb product anymore, the support is utterly disappointing.... :devious:

[NTLDR]

Yes I know the answer, do I intend to help you no. Find another hack to use and refrain from filling this thread with pointless posts.

All work here is volentary, so don't go complaining about the lack of support because you show no respect to the hack author.
