Posts made prior to the changes in newthread.php won't have the ID, upload the file called setpostid.php in the zip into the admin folder and run it, they should then show up.

This will be fully integrated into the Update Counters bit in the final release.

[groovesalad]

I've downloaded 3 .zip files from this thread, but neither one of them have that setpostid.php in the zip file. Was I supposed to look somewhere else for it?

[NTLDR]

I'm sure it was in vbi21rc1.3.zip, I've attached it here anyway

[groovesalad]

Great, thanks for attaching it. I ran it in my admin directory, it went through several posts, then came up with this:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.6:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE thread SET tpostid= WHERE threadid=97
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE threadid=97' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

Script: http://groove-salad.com/forum/forum/...setpostid.php?
Referer:

Any ideas?

The weird thing is, the URL is http://groove-salad.com/forum/forum/...setpostid.php?

and has two forum/forum in it. Not sure why it's trying to go to that URL.

NTLDR,

What code do I need to write in the index.php to load the vbindex.php first

This was my best guess after seening it in a different loader in a hack from another site I just changed the code to point at vbindex

// vbindex Loader
$loader = split("/", getenv(REQUEST_URI));
$n = count($loader)-1;
$loader = $loader[$n];
if (trim($loader)=="index.php") {
Header("Location: vbindex.php");
}
// End vbindex Loader

User say that there still going straght to the to the forum and not the vbindex front page.

Any help?

NTLDR, it wasn't there, just so you don't think you're going mad. There's no instructions in there either.

[FleaBag]

groovesalad, I had that problem and had to delete the problematic thread. I'm not saying that's what you should do - though.

ontherun, change your htaccess file. mentioned several times in previous posts. easy to do bud.

Strange, I have it in my local zip, I must have updated it

I know there is a lack of instructions in the zip, I am going to try and realease RC2 this week which will have all the instructions in it and a new installer.

You have $bburl set wrong in your ACP I expect.

Problematic thread: http://groove-salad.com/forum/showth...hp?threadid=97

Problem, there is no post to get the postid from, hence the DB error.
