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]

a few problems im having:

i installed vbindex 1.3 but still getting the problem where my private forum titles are being shown. users are unable to view the thread, but still see title.

when the users vote it takes the to the actual post on the forum, is there a way to keep the on the home page?

also, when i try to select to see more thread it takes me to my forum. how do i keep when i hit "go" to stay on the home page?

how would i go about taking the latest threads part, and actually placing them on my forum home?

also is their a way of makign the polls random, selecting them from the polls postes in the poll forum? thanks, nice hack btw.

well i have it installed now, but how the heck do i goto the forum itself? www.rcnitrotalk.com is where i have installed it. I cant seem to get a view of the forum as if it wasnt installed. Can I still do that or does this mod take over completly.

If i use the pull down menu I can access the forums one by one but i cant seem to see all of them at once, why not?

If you read through the thread you will find the fix for this.

i've got my vbhome working !! looking rather good.

i have a slight problem, i wish to add $avatarimage to my home_logout template .... but it does not work when i do so.

But it does work if i place it in the left template .... why is this ?? Why will $avatarimage work in a one template and not another ?

btw, also my vbhome is running 56 queries .... is this high ... and if so, why ?

go to http://forum.peugeot-gti.net/home.php and look at the footer of the page for more info.

Cheers.

Is it vBhome or vBindex you have? If its vBhome then this is the wrong thread.

57 is a high number of queries, you want to try and keep it bellow 30 for optimal performance, if you don't have many conncurrent visitors though it doesn't matter to much.
