mYvBindex 3.2.2 released! (5/22/03)
mYvBindex 3.2 will allow you to include different options from your vBulletin message board on your website's index page. Everything is completely template based so it is very easy to customize and change everything through your Admin CP. Features:
Guest Homepage Admin Homepage User Homepage Admin CP Queries: A nice feature of mYvBindex is that it performs only 11 queries with all the options turned off, no matter how many news articles or latest threads you choose to display. Some options will cause the script to perform extra queries, but even with all the options turned on it still performs only 29 queries at max. Here is a list of each extra function that will cause extra queries:
Adding More Custom Templates To add more custom templates to your mYvBindex, please see this post. Stylin' Buddy List - by MartynJ This will add your the users avatar and usertitle to the buddy list (Similar to and inspired by velocd's Stylin' Buddy List hack), and adds no extra queries to your homepage. Download (Screen shot included in zip) Shoutbox Integration - by MartynJ This hack integrates the ever popular Shoutbox hack with your mYvBindex. Download (Screen shot included in zip) TWCommish's vB Shoutbox Integration - by Brahm This is a slightly different shout box made by TWCommish. His hack is required and can be found here. After downloading his hack, use Brahm's instructions here to integrate it with mYvBindex. Attachments in News Posts - by Tigga This hack allows attachments posted in news posts to be viewed in the news section on your homepage. Download Allow users to set homepage options - by Tigga This mini-hack will allow your users to set which options they would like displayed on the homepage. They will be able to turn on/off avatars, weather, custom templates, and etc on a per user basis. Download *Note* It may be necessary to open this file in a text editor (other than notepad) to get it to display properly. Multiple News forums from different links - by Tigga This hack allows allows you to have a link to a "different index file" which will pull news posts from a different forum. Instructions can be found here Credits: mYvBindex uses modified versions of the following hacks: Mini Calendar from vbPortal - by wajones vB Weather Mk. 2- by JJR512 Copyright: This hack is NOT to be re-distributed or placed on website for download without permission. All copyright notes in the script itself must remain unchanged. Please don't forget to hit the Install Button Updates from version 3.2.1 After the release of v3.2.1 a couple of small bugs were found. They affected the ability to edit a news post from the link on the homepage, pulling the wrong post from a thread for the news section, and updating your most users ever online if a new record is set. The changes from v3.2 to 3.2.1 were minimal, so those should be the only bugs found. Upgrading once again is very easy. Just download the new files, change the path in the myvbindex.php file, and upload it over your existing one. Updates from version 3.2 v3.2.1 is again just a small maintenance release. The main change in this version is the way the forum permissions are done. Before, the forum permissions would cause the latest threads query to take much longer than it should (mostly on larger forums). Now with the new permissions system in place, the query to pull the latest threads should take less than 0.01 seconds. Other than the permissions section, the only other changes were a few optimizations to the code syntax. Upgrading from v3.2 is simple - Just upload the new myvbindex.php file over your existing one and you're done. Updates from version 3.1 v3.2 is mostly another maintenance release, and will hopefully be the last release for vBulletin 2.X (unless any bugs are found). Here are a list of all the changes. Fixed a bug where setting the "Show Latest Threads Icon?" option to "No" could disable the latest threads section. Fixed a bug where signatures with vBcode were not displayed properly in the news section. Fixed a bug where the icons in the news and latest thread parts weren't displaying the right icon for some users. Added an option to completely disable signatures in news posts. Added an option to select a random poll from any forum for the poll part of the hack. Further optimized parts of the code and slightly changed part of the structure. Now shows "No Buddies Online" in the buddy list if no buddies are online. Changed so it will no longer show a default icon for the news and latest threads unless your options are also set to show a default icon on the forumdisplay page. Now shows the last poster and last post time when you hold your mouse over the title of a thread in the Latest Threads part. The install script has been re-written so you can install, upgrade, uninstall, update your news posts (useful for first time installations where a news forum already exists), or install just the templates (useful after upgrading vBulletin to a new version) all from one file. Significantly reduced the size of the weather_install.php file (from 3.0 MB to 1.25 MB) so it will not take so long to upload to your server. Fixed a couple of small spacing issues in the poll templates. Fixed a problem with JJR512's weather hack not pulling the weather forcast. Added a FAQ section to the readme file to help common problems. Upgrading should take no longer than 2 minutes and instructions can be found at the bottom of the readme file. Updates from version 3.0 v3.1 is mostly a maintenance release to help cut down on first time installation problems. Other than that, the biggest difference you will notice is the template "style" has changed to mesh better with vBulletin (see screenshots above). You do not have to install the new templates as you will have the option to install the new templates or to skip that step in the install file. Other than the templates, here is a list of the other changes: A few more "error checking" features have been added to ensure you won't get a nasty sql error if you leave your News or Poll Forum ID, or any of the other fields blank. The problem some users were experiencing with the temperature for the weather part of the hack should be fixed for good. The "Show Poll" option in the Admin CP is removed as this can now be disabled simply by leaving the "Poll Fourm ID" filed blank. Fixed a small typo and optimized parts of the code a little further. Slightly changed the position of the days and numbers in the calendar part. Fixes a bug where the Today's Birthday part wouldn't point to the correct url. Upgrading should take no longer than 2 minutes and instructions can be found at the bottom of the readme file. Updates from version 2.0 Removed the option from the Admin CP to allow smilies in News posts as this can now be set per post just as you would when making a regular post. Added a stats section with info such as total members, threads, posts, newest member, top poster, and today's birthdays. Added a "Today's Events" section under the calendar that will display any events that are scheduled for the current day, and will only be visible if there are events listed for the current day. Added an option to show the poster's avatar with the news post. You can now have your signature displayed with the news post. This is controlled when posting the message just as you would with a regular post. Added an option to display the news post's rating with the news. Added options to show small icons to allow users to show a printable version of the news post and an option to allow users to email their friends a link to the news post. Added an option to allow/disable HTML in news posts. Added an option to allow/disable the [img] tag in news posts. Shows the number of times a news post has been viewed. Shows the number of new posts since the users last visit. Shows the number of replies to the poll if poll discussions are allowed. Fixed a bug where the search box would take you to the search page rather than displaying the results. Fixed a bug where setting the News Posts Maximum to 0 would disable the news rather than giving it no limit. Optimized the code a little more to increase performance.

refertech - It's possible now to insert images using the img tag or by enabling HTML. Is there another way you were wanting to insert the image?
ub3x - Yes. It will work with versions 2.6 & up. Rebel38 - There are several counter systems out there that shouldn't be a problem to impliment with this. Short of writing one for you there's not much I can do to help you impliment one though. Heffe2000 - Moving the latest topics under the news is just a matter of editing the HTML in the index and index_threadbits templates. You would basically move the latest threads block to right underneath the $newsbits part in your index template and maybe make a few small cosmetic changes. It really shouldn't be too hard to figure out.  As for excluding the forumids, try something like "AND open<>10 AND forumid!=xx OR forumid!=yy OR forumid!=zz" (with OR after each forumid instead of AND). That should work, but if it doesn't let me know. Krackills - See my reply to Heffe2000.

Tried the edit for the excluding forums, but that didn't work. It'd be nice if there was a config for that kind of stuff that was seperate from the main php file
 . I'll see what I can come up with for the moving of the latest posts though, but my HTML is really rusty..

okay i need help with something. I want to put some code for streaming audio from a radio station into my index site. Problem is whenever someone clicks on any link in my index site it stops the music and tries to reload the whole page. How can I get it so this music plays and shows the streaming audio little box it creates but make it so the page does not reload it when you click on a link?

I moved the threadbits under the $newsbits, and it works fine, except the format is kid of large (the old one was either one line or 2, can't remeber now). I'll work on that though (I'd like one line with the thread title, and a 2nd line with the rest of the info).
Think anyone could help me out with codeing a line in the usercp block where you have a link to the admin cp if you're an admin, or the mod cp if you're a mod? My php coding skills are very lacking in something like that. That one's not so much for me, as it is my co-admins, I use the direct link to the admincp..

Ok I installed this in 2.3.0 and have a problem.
When I login to my test site it logs me in but it takes me straight to the forums. It does not stay at my index page like it is suppose to. Then when I close my browser (all my browesers) and click my icon on my desktop to open my site back up it comes up wanting me to login with my name and password. But it says I am already logged on under active users. It seems that it is logging me on but not doing it correctly. I know it is logging me in because when I click on forums it comes up with my avatar and welcomes me. Once I have gone to the forums and then click back to my index it shows my avatar and has me logged in. What happened here. I had it working on another site. Does anyone know what is going on here? Is it 2/3/0 that is causing the problem? I deleted all my cookies and temp files and it still keeps doing this. Help!
