oh, in my vbb 3.0.0 it writes "could not find 'vbindex_settings_saved' after i want to save the options with vbioptions.php.

in vbindex.php it states

Works GREAT.
I had a few questions though:

I was wondering if there was a way I could add a "Home" to the navbar on each style. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

Also, how could I replace the "News" section with a template on another page, (Like have the original news page, then like blah.php that has everything that vbindex.php has, but without the News, just link it to another template, basically just html inside it)
Heres an example.

               -Forums - Usercp - FAQ - Logout-

-Users Online-                     -blah-                       -Shoutbox-
                            blah content blah content
-VBindexCustom1-      blah content blah blah

                               -Latest Threads-

Try hitting Refresh. I noticed it would say 0 users online, then I would refresh and then it would show me. I'm not clear on what your asking if thats not it.

[chet]

Hi all, I want to add this to the bottom of my portal, I guess just above "All times are GMT. The time now is" would be nice, could someone let me know how I would achieve this

Thanks

Olá pessoal

ninguem fala Portugues por aqui ?
fiz a instalação do vBindex v3.0.0 RC5 e correu tudo bem (sem erros), mas agora que tenho eu de fazer para vizualizar no meu site as janelas laterais ?

[jmacieira]

Thank´s ...I love this....

I resolve my problems

[TheEnd]

Alright, well I edited out some of the news strings in the index.php and called it roster.php, and same with vbioptions.php, which i copied and made it vbioptions2.php. The settings are still set on both, which one = the other. Is there a way I can change the database where vbioptions2 is saved? Heres what I got (not much).
Roster.php

I installed this great hack earlier today. Nice work, thanks!

I clicked the install button.

I have a few very minor things that I would like to fix:

1.) From the admin cpanel the Forum home page link at top of page has been changed. Which the link is from my computer, I just not sure which template to edit & where? or why?

file:///C|/DOCUME%7E1/64/LOCALS%7E1/index.php?

2.) My avatar doesnt show up on the welcome screen? My path to the image is:

http://www.thisdarncar.com/vb/images/avatars/6.gif

Any help with these minor things would be great!

Great stuff!!!!

Thanks, dreck

[flstreetscene]

Plz someone help me. :disappointed:

I've been at this basic problem for a while now...

Most links on my front page (navbar/login) is missing the /forums part of the url and therefore dont work. What do I need to edit for this?

Thank you.

[flstreetscene]

I've replaced the path to the forums as per instructions;

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/path/to/forums/');

to...

define('CHDIR_PATH', '/home/zeno/domains/floridastreetscene.com/public_html/forums');

[vlad7]

can i install this portal system on vb 3.0.3?

[Blue Moose Aaron]

Yes you can

And am not sure if this has anything to do wit the Foriegn Language Packs I installed.

Can someone help me out here?

[Blue Moose Aaron]

I wouldn't think your language pack would make any difference. Can you give a link to your forum and vbindex page?
