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 .
Credits
Newscode part from vBHome by nakkid.
Onlinetodaycode part from Online Today Hack by Mystics.
Pollcode part from vBPortal by wajones.
Note!
I'd really like to get every feedback you guys can give me. Also post bugreports and suggestions to improve this script. If you have installed this hack, pls click on the install button to receive updates thru email. Thank you .

Originally posted by freeshares1 I have this all setup and am very impressed, However i have got one suggestion.
In the threads template it currently displays ALL new posts even ones in private forums for guests. Is there anyway that this can be changed to just reflect normal posts?
Also any html that is working in the post (say news post) will not come through onto vbindex
this problem is fixed in version 1.3 (release today).
Originally posted by nakkid el3m3nt basically copied several hacks and put them toghehter. he first started with my hack. he liked the idea, analised the code... then he said: i will make something cool. let me rip a little from vbPortal and vBulletin.. ahh wait.. there are some cool hacks that i can also label as mines.. "today's users online", etc.

Originally posted by NTLDR I don't think el3m3nt was / has been trying to claim creadit for all the hacks he has used that have been written by other users, he only released the file cus me and a couple of other users said that we would like to use it, he wasn't claiming credit in my opinion. I think that he didn't give credit to the original hackers as he feels that no one needs to creadit him if they use any code he produces and perhaps therefore asumed others think the same way, which of course not everyone does.
I do see you point though and el3m3nt should have creadited the original writer of the code and has done now, I don't think he has ever tried to claim the credit for other peoples code, but only for the fact that he managed to merge them in a way people want to use.
nakkid, it was never my intention to claim credit for hacks which i havent written. As NTLDR said, i asked in the beta hacks forum.. if somebody would be interested in this hack. first i wrote this hack just for my website.
ahja.. nakkid, question: why do you write me per pm, there is no problem for you (i wrote you that i copied the newscode from vbhome), but here you make such a huge thing around it? (dont know how to say this correctly in english :/)
actually you dont have to change this code. the mistake is that you havent updated the home_newsbit template.
but NTLDR proposed a solution which works too. the difference is, that with my solution you dont have to create a icon0.gif. when iconid==0 there wont be shown an icon.
to everyone who installed vbindex: pls send me a pm with a link to your website. so i can add your link to the first post of this thread.. (more demo-sites).
in v1.3 you will now see only these threads which you have the permission to see.
for upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3 u have just to rehack (to uninstall makes no sense). means update the templates with the new ones and readd the original vbulletin code to the new index-file. then upload and it should be done .
hmm.. well then you have to give them the permission to vote on these polls . i'm quite sure that the permission to vote nothing has to with the vBindex script. can your members vote in the pollforum? if yes, they can also vote on the index-site.
