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]

damn this is one of the best forums I just love the whole design it looks great nice works buddy. its in my "good looking vB?s" bookmarks catagory now

when I saw this hack by el3m3nt, the first thing I did was REMOVE the whole postnuke site from my server, I better like vBindex, its just what I need.

btw I have just installed the hack by FireFly, but still no luck

members are only able to vote if they can see the forum this is strange, I know Im probably over looking something....god I should take a break...

Thanks -=dm=- I'm glad you like the site, I've managed to hack vBindex so it can power multiple pages using the format home.php?&page=template_name so I can run my how website off it, I like vBindex much more than Postnuke or vbportal which so many sites use.

Have you still got the forum set as a private forum? If you do then you need to make it so its not private and just hidden with firefly's hack... I'll post my permissions on my polls forum for you so you can see what I've got.

[EDIT]

See attached jpeg for my polls forum permissions.

[/EDIT]

[-=dm=-]

Thanx
Forums are not set as private.
as member the get no permission message and moderators and admin the get this message:

The action you have attempted could not be performed as your session appears to be invalid. Click the below link to attempt this action again with a new session.
Try this action again!

this is strange...

EDIT:
ups!
ok thanx let me try this.

[-=dm=-]

Thanx!
now the are able to vote, cool
but mod/admin are still getting the above messageThe action you have attempted.....

[NTLDR]

Has changing the permissions to the same as those in the attachment above made any difference?

[-=dm=-]

yeah NTLDR
it was your attachment/screenshot wich helped me out
"but mod/admin are still getting the above messageThe action you have attempted..... "

thanx

I think to correct that you need to clear the sessions in your database, I may be wrong though. Have you tried loging out closing the browser, visiting again, logging back in and trying to vote again?

Also can admins and mods vote in the forum on the poll? Or does that message come up then as well?

[-=dm=-]

this comes as well...
hmm... as el3m3nt say its probably not the vBindex which causing this problem.

therefor my latest posts are not related to vBindex anymore, so maybe I should
start a new thread in the "General Hacking Discussion
"
Thanx

[NTLDR]

Did you try the logout, close browser, login?

If that doesn't work, I think you need to empty the 'session' table in your MySQL database.

[el3m3nt]

hmm.. dm, i got this message (session problem) on my localhost too. i dont really now what it means. But there's a link below this message. When i followed this link.. it has worked.

It cannot be a problem with vBindex.. cause the vbindex-script just reads the latest poll in the pollforum. nothing more. the action of voting.. has nothing to do with it.

ehm.. when you cannot fix it anyway.. contact a mod or a dev or just ask somebody who could help you .

very nice idea, ntldr. something like this.. i wanna use/write too. but it has to be independent of vbulletin. another script i'm gonna write is a script which creates php-files incl. content & design.

[NTLDR]

That sounds good el3m3nt, I look forward to seeing that

I am trying to install this. I am running php3 on my forum. I have this installed with all the templates. I now get this:

Parse error: parse error in /usr/sites/www.dssworld.tv/www/pages/forums/home.php on line 345

What is going on.

Firstly you need to change the file name to home.php3 if you are using php3 extensions, also you will need to change the file names within this hack to .php3

This hack may require PHP4+ in order to work though.

[netman]

Ok i did this and i get the same error.

[NTLDR]

This hack may only be PHP4+ compatible then, perhaps el3m3nt can tell you.
