vBadvanced Homepage v1.1 Released! (01.27.04)

vBadvanced Homepage is an advanced homepage / portal that will allow you to include different options from your vBulletin message board on your site's homepage. It also allows you to easily create and manage new pages which are completely powered by vBulletin and vBadvanced. There are over 40 options where you can enable/disable the features, plus everything is template based so it is very easy to customize and change everything through your Admin CP.



Features:
  • Login box for members to log in to your site on the homepage.
  • Post News in a forum you specify and have it appear on your homepage.
  • Create new pages in which the content will replace the news section of your homepage.
  • Show the latest threads started in your forum on your homepage.
  • Show a poll and allow users to vote and see the results on your homepage.
  • Shows users avatar, new private messages, and buddy list for members who are logged in.
  • Shows a list of active users.
  • Shows statistics such as total members, threads, posts, top poster, newest member, and today's birthday's.
  • Shows a mini calendar with links to days with scheduled events, and a box with today's scheduled events.
  • Search box to allow users to quickly search your forums.
  • Set and change all options via the Admin CP.
  • Ability to easily switch on/off the polls, users avatar, buddy list, online users, search box, calendar, custom templates, news icons, news comments, smilies, set the maximum number of news posts, and many other options via the Admin CP.
  • Everything is completely template based so it is very easy to customize.
  • Install file that will make all database queries and templates for you in seconds.
  • Uninstalls in seconds.
  • Tested and stable with vBulletin 3.0 RC.
  • 100% validated XHTML 1.0 compliance
A nice feature of vBadvanced Homepage is that it is optimized and designed for large web sites. vBadvanced Homepage performs only 5 queries with all the options turned off. Some options will cause the script to perform extra queries, but even with all the options turned on it still performs only 17 queries at max.

Here is a list of each extra function that will cause extra queries:
  • News - 1 query
  • Latest Threads - 1 query
  • Poll - 1 query (2 if the user has voted)
  • User's Avatar - 1 query
  • Buddy List and/or Online Users - 1 query
  • Mini Calendar - 3 queries (none for the simple calendar)
  • Stats - 2 queries
  • New Posts - 1 query

Question from a man who wants to eat his cake and have it too.
VB3 Gold.
I would like to make VBA my home.
I have vague ideas of PHP, so I try not to mess up my script's code.
Can you tell me how much an installation of VBA will change my VB code?
And in future, would I have to do anything unusual to upgrade VB now that VBA would be a part of it?
Really, how much does VBA change the default VB?

Thanks.

sola, anytime you install a hack, you should keep the .txt file that came with it, and ALWAYS comment the code out that your are replacing, and comment the sections of code you add. when you comment, come up with a search term so that you can easily find all file mods.

for instance, when you install vbadvanced, and it tells you to edit a .php file, and says find this: and replace with this:

instead of replacing, simply comment it out using // HACK VBADVANCED REMOVE
and before your added code put // HACK VBADVANCED START and at the end put // HACK VBADVANCED END

do the same for template mods, and now anytime you want to remove a hack, just refer to the txt file that you saved from the hack, go into each modified file and search for your string, and uncomment out what needs to be uncommented.

as far as how much vbadvanced changes your forums, id say basically not at all. its more of an addition rather than a major change. following the instructions step by step carefully resulted in a very easy installation IMO, witht he only minor bug being a clear.gif issue they have already resolved i think, and a missed image path name.

when you upgrade vb, its basically a amtter of doing the upgrade,t hen reapplying the vbadvanced changes that were effected. when i changed from rc4 to vb3gold, i did the vb3gold install, then went back into the vbadvanced install and had the news issue fixed in 15 minutes. i am not a coder, but i do pay attention to detail, and i can follow if statements and the logic behind the code, and their wording and layout seemed very easy to me.

Also, the VBAdvanced homepage as well as this thread ahd all of the instructions on how to do this within a day of vb3gold being released.

1062 Duplicate entry '%s' for key %d => you have to examine your DB :|

can someone help please? i tried going through the steps again and still nothing...

Little things such as: "edit the templates.txt:" part i don't understand either...?

But i'm still getting the 1062 error... I'm sure i didn't edit everything properly... The steps didn't seem as easy as the Myvbindex 3.2 - they dont seem as detailed - so i'm pretty confused.
