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]

actually I hidden them like u say in readme.

Have you just hidden the forum? Or have you made it Private? If it's just hidden it should work, you need to make sure that the permissions on the forum are set to at least: Can vote on polls
Yes, you may need to change some others to.

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 :/)

you said in the pm that you will give credit to everyone. i looked at the file after and you never did. that's the only reason i got a little high. i apologise.

[el3m3nt]

ah easy, nakkid. no problem. take the whole thing here not sooooo very seriously. of course, everyone should be correct and fair.. but don't let determine this your life.

[TECK]

is not to determine my life. is to be fair to everyone here on this board. that's all.

all the best,
nakkid.

exactly. when the members just may vote, then this option satisfy. i'm not sure if they can then also look at the pollresult. never tested.

that is what i wrote .


a little note to vBindex:

look for..

PHP Code:

$getdailypost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM thread WHERE thrread.lastpost>=".(time() - (24 * 60 *60 * $days))); 


this counts the new threads. if u wanna count the new posts.. replace it with..

PHP Code:

$getdailypost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE post.dateline>=".(time() - (24 * 60 *60 * $days)));

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.

Now I have the same problem again

The NTDLR solution works perfect but not with u r new version.
cuz now it also showing the thread icon.

this version is even better, keep up the good work
Im so happy its like I got the vB v3.0

EDIT EDIT: I have updated the home_newsbit template.

Do you get the error for the news and threads or just the threads now -=dm=-?

[-=dm=-]

Hi NTLDR
I get the same error like in the screenshot.
but the thread icons are showing up correct.

So its the just the news error you have? Is that correct, I take a look now...
