I installed this last night at www.moparstyle.com
After reading this thread -- I was quite honestly scared -- but it went well. It did hiccup at the point where I had to use the full path for graphics and did a tilt/game over. I restarted the install and skipped the section where I had to put the full path in. I have 13 templates -- and that might be beyond what the install could handle. Each style had the banner graphic of the next style. I manually fixed and all was well. I very much appreciate the time you took to make this Portal -- and I would like to tell others who may been as scared as I -- to take their time, follow the instructions, and don't panic. I did notice that the Portal "Who was online today" and the hack in the forum home template don't appear to like each other. I just removed that hack from each style's forum home template and all is well. I am far from a programmer -- and I was able to follow the destructions. Don't be scared -- just jump in. It might help give you an idea of how I implimented it with many styles. www.moparstyle.com |

Nice site!!! Wish mine was half that complete.
Well, this really is getting fairly aggravating..... I am almost to the pointing of trashing it all, and starting over. Perhaps the average person on here is WAY more advanced than me in terms of their knowledge. I sometimes find it hard to understand the extremely brief answers I get. I need details..... ARGHH I know that it isn't really possible for the big guys on here to spend alot of time responding to each question, so I guess I will have to just be patient, and keep asking the same questions..... I am gonna keep trying, but if I don't get some specific answers to specific questions soon, I am gonna ditch it all, and start all over.... |

Case in point..... ugh!!!
I just "uninstalled" vbindex, and then pointed my browser back to "www.mydomain.com/forums/admincp/vbiupgrade.php" so I could go through the installation process again. The very first screen says: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This script will install vBindex version 3.0.0 RC5 Before preceding, please follow and make note of the following changes you need to make, to both vbiconfig.php and your vBulletin settings to ensure correct operation with vBindex. The settings edits can be performed after the installation, however vBindex won't function properly untill they are done. After this step there is only one more step that requires user input, the rest of the install is automatic. Please edit vbiconfig.php and find and replace the following code: ***(NOTICE THERE IS NO TEXT OR CODE HERE, IT'S JUST A SOLID WHITE BAR. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO "FIND & REPLACE"???)*** with: ***(YOU GOT IT, NO TEXT OR CODE HERE EITHER, IT'S JUST A SOLID WHITE BAR. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO "FIND & REPLACE"???)*** In order for smilies to work on vBindex you will need to go into the Smilie Manager in the vBulletin Admin Control Panel and edit the smilies to use a full URL. Press the 'Next Step' button to proceed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***HELP*** Any suggestions???? I can't even get past the first step right....... Also, when i install vbindex, do i still need to install a "hack", or is it all included in the vbindex files??? |

If you see no text I would assume there is a problem with your browser, there should allways be some text in the white boxes. Use the path I provided earlier in vbiconfig.php and continue with the installation. Anything you need to change with either be listed in the read me or detailed in the install routine.

And thanks for your fast Reply NTLDR, if ya dont mind I have a couple other questions now that I got it up and working...
1) 1st problem I see is that in my forum I'm using shoutbox 1.03d hack on site and the shout in the portal doesnt sync with it, Should it? 2) How do make custom stuff to add to the "Home Page" in the blocks(left , right, and center)... I'm not sure what those 6 custom templates are and what they're for? How do ya get one to appear on the page? Is that where I would code custom stuff. They seem to have code in them already that looks like it's to expand and collapts them is that correct? and if so, should my code go after the builtin code? I'd like to get my page looking a lot in style and with different content of course like the Big Kahuna's Mopar site... Thanks again NTLDR, very nice work you do... and thanks for sharing ur site Big Kahuna, you've also done a nice job... Peace Y'all |

ok, did that NTLDR....... now, in going through the steps, I came to "edit image paths". It says they need to point to full url's.
So, I inserted "http://www.mydomain.com" in front of the default folders already showing in the fields..... I click "save" at the bottom, and it brings me right back to that page..... If I click "skip this step" it still brings me back to it. If I click "If you are not redirected, bla, bla, bla click here" it takes me to the "Installation Complete" page, but my image paths are still wrong. What do I do??? Before you say "do it in the style manager", i tried that before, but didn't see anywhere in Style Manager to do that. |

If they don't save for whatever reason goto ACP -> Style Manager -> All Options (for each style) and edit the paths from there.

I thought it was image paths??? there was not one single item on the list called "image" anything.... Good night!!!!

You really should check out the vBulletin manual which explains howto use all the built in functions: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/stylemanager
The first screenshot there shows where "All Options" is that I said to select to give you the place to edit the image paths. |

PM me with your board URL, the details of an admin account (preferably one with query running permissions) and FTP login details if you want me to check and edit vbiconfig.php and I'll take a look tonight.
