Right, now I understand. That is a little more complex. As standard vBindex pulls all of your specified news threads into one box which you can control via the Admin CP.

However I think (and please correct me if I am wrong) what you want would require you to rebuild the system. As an example.

newsphrase1 would draw the news from thread 1,2,3,4 and put it in news box 1.
newsphrase2 would draw the news from thread 5,6,7,8 and put it in news box 2.

I don't think there is a way to make vBindex do this without hacking it. NTLDR correct me if I am wrong.

No need for NTLDR to tell you, you're right. There's coding to do here, which I thought someone here could help us, if not just me out, that would be really nice...

Here you go. Simply open the attached file and use its contents to replace the VBINDEX template information. You can do this via your style manager.

It will function with your vBindex admincp settings, so you can turn on or off the display of users from the last 24 hours.

The only thing lacking is the conditional to turn online users on and off. At the moment it is on by default but if NTLDR (or someone else) could assist by correcting the following conditional I can then complete the template.

Code:
<if condition="$show['onlineusers]">

Hi there, I have tried this hack that you did for me but I'm afraid its wrong, a bit of a masturbating of my side I think, if you look at http://www.chetnet.co.uk/portal/forum/ them at the bottom, under what's going on, I would not mind having the currently active users at the bottom of the centre block in the portal.

Sorry for the misunderstand and hope you can still help me out

I will see what I can do (but I am not making any promises). I have what you are asking for on my forum home page, but I have created my own portal. I will see how long it will take to change vBindex to suit your needs. (so long as NTLDR doesn't mind me butchering her fine work? :nervous: )

Sorry NTLDR (no offence intended I think your portal mod is sensational) but all of the portals I came across were great but only satisfied about 85% of what I wanted. So my own custom job was always on the cards.

Without reading all 130 pages, can someone tell me if vbindex was ever able to add images to news articles instead of just displying avatars of the poster?

I was under the impression that it did. Basically if a post has images in it then they should be displayed in the news section.

But please correct me if I am wrong.

let me re-state that, pictures show in the actual posts but not in the original thread that appears on home page in the news section. it is like having a news paper with pictures on everything but the front page. only the avatar of the poster appears and that is also optional.
