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]

jap.. use always editplus or notepad.. not wordpad, cause wordpad uses, like word, formats.. so the text is not pure text as it is in editors like editplus .

I'm not sure the cause of this, I'm gonna look into that tomorrow but I've had that problem to and couldn't figure out why it didn't work, -=dm=- also had this problem.

Thanks for pointing out whats wrong Slynderdale

[Slynderdale]

yea, i noticed the hidden values for s=session[sessionhash] in the polls, but s doesnt get the value, the same goes for the login section too.

[Slynderdale]

NTLDR i like your forums and vbindex home page

[el3m3nt]

Hi Slyndredale,

could you describe me where exactly the sessionhash wont be displayed?.. if it looks like "s=session[sessionhash]" then you have to put a $ for session[sessionhash].

Could someone please tell me how i can add my welcome panel to the page so i can have it in the center and at the top of the page. Thanks

[el3m3nt]

ehm.. put the welcome panel code for the 'forumhome' template.. in the 'home' template before $threads.

then you have to add the php-code which you actually add to the original index.php to the index.php of vBindex. put this code after the variables at the top of the file.

report me if it works .

Thanks m8, it worked but i didn`t like the way it looked so i`ve removed it, one more thing anything i put in the home_right template don`t show up it`s probably me doing something wrong again lol

ok forget the home_right template i`ve sorted that now,knew it was my fault lol

[el3m3nt]

hehe..

in the 'home' template you have to replace the <!-- $right --> with $right. so it'll be no more a comment.. but will be displayed.

you can edit the welcome panel that it looks like you want.. just edit the html-code. that wont give any problems.

[wintz]

Thanks alot el3m3nt for your help, i just edited my post as you where replying to let you

[el3m3nt]

hehe.. no problem .

This is one of this first things I did when I installed vBindex, the welcome panel has allways worked fine for me.
