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]

This sucks I got the news showing up:

$newsforum=3

I posted a thread in Forum #5 and it shows up?!?
I posted a thread in Forum #1 and set $newsforum to 1 and nothing shows up?!?

[el3m3nt]

FlyingDutchman, perhaps something wrong with the forumpermissions? if forum #1 doesnt work.. just use a forum which works.. if theres no other solution...

JoeHarrison, thanks.. yap a little typo. ahm.. perhaps i'll release version 1.4 with some fixes.

Ok...I followed the instructions, and I have an error on line 403, which just HAPPENS to be "?>" without the quotes of course.
Anyway...I don;t see how this could work since I am renaming the index file of vb...so when ever going to the root, you will be goiong to the portal. That seems...odd. never the less, I would really like to get something running like this. I guess I am jut brain dead or something.
Any help would be apreciated.

I finnaly got it to work... I just did a plain install of Vb and VbIndex and now it works great!
anyway, can anyone help me please with this:

I want: To show up the left-menu on the forums page
What I did: I put this line:

PHP Code:

eval("\$left = \"".gettemplate('home_left')."\";"); 


just at the end of index.php and added home_left to the '$templatesused-list'

I thought that it would show up now when I would include $left somewhere in the header... but it doesn't?!? what am I doing wrong? (did I edit the wrong file or something?!?)

thanks in advance for your help,

Bad Bunny, make sure that there is nothing after the "?>" ie make sure that the > is the last character of the file and there are no lines after it and no spaces, I think this is what is causing the problem.

element, you have 57queries on your page. that means your server on the red line. everything over 40 is bad.
