mYvBindex 3.2.2 released! (5/22/03)
mYvBindex 3.2 will allow you to include different options from your vBulletin message board on your website's index page. Everything is completely template based so it is very easy to customize and change everything through your Admin CP. Features:
Guest Homepage Admin Homepage User Homepage Admin CP Queries: A nice feature of mYvBindex is that it performs only 11 queries with all the options turned off, no matter how many news articles or latest threads you choose to display. Some options will cause the script to perform extra queries, but even with all the options turned on it still performs only 29 queries at max. Here is a list of each extra function that will cause extra queries:
Adding More Custom Templates To add more custom templates to your mYvBindex, please see this post. Stylin' Buddy List - by MartynJ This will add your the users avatar and usertitle to the buddy list (Similar to and inspired by velocd's Stylin' Buddy List hack), and adds no extra queries to your homepage. Download (Screen shot included in zip) Shoutbox Integration - by MartynJ This hack integrates the ever popular Shoutbox hack with your mYvBindex. Download (Screen shot included in zip) TWCommish's vB Shoutbox Integration - by Brahm This is a slightly different shout box made by TWCommish. His hack is required and can be found here. After downloading his hack, use Brahm's instructions here to integrate it with mYvBindex. Attachments in News Posts - by Tigga This hack allows attachments posted in news posts to be viewed in the news section on your homepage. Download Allow users to set homepage options - by Tigga This mini-hack will allow your users to set which options they would like displayed on the homepage. They will be able to turn on/off avatars, weather, custom templates, and etc on a per user basis. Download *Note* It may be necessary to open this file in a text editor (other than notepad) to get it to display properly. Multiple News forums from different links - by Tigga This hack allows allows you to have a link to a "different index file" which will pull news posts from a different forum. Instructions can be found here Credits: mYvBindex uses modified versions of the following hacks: Mini Calendar from vbPortal - by wajones vB Weather Mk. 2- by JJR512 Copyright: This hack is NOT to be re-distributed or placed on website for download without permission. All copyright notes in the script itself must remain unchanged. Please don't forget to hit the Install Button Updates from version 3.2.1 After the release of v3.2.1 a couple of small bugs were found. They affected the ability to edit a news post from the link on the homepage, pulling the wrong post from a thread for the news section, and updating your most users ever online if a new record is set. The changes from v3.2 to 3.2.1 were minimal, so those should be the only bugs found. Upgrading once again is very easy. Just download the new files, change the path in the myvbindex.php file, and upload it over your existing one. Updates from version 3.2 v3.2.1 is again just a small maintenance release. The main change in this version is the way the forum permissions are done. Before, the forum permissions would cause the latest threads query to take much longer than it should (mostly on larger forums). Now with the new permissions system in place, the query to pull the latest threads should take less than 0.01 seconds. Other than the permissions section, the only other changes were a few optimizations to the code syntax. Upgrading from v3.2 is simple - Just upload the new myvbindex.php file over your existing one and you're done. Updates from version 3.1 v3.2 is mostly another maintenance release, and will hopefully be the last release for vBulletin 2.X (unless any bugs are found). Here are a list of all the changes. Fixed a bug where setting the "Show Latest Threads Icon?" option to "No" could disable the latest threads section. Fixed a bug where signatures with vBcode were not displayed properly in the news section. Fixed a bug where the icons in the news and latest thread parts weren't displaying the right icon for some users. Added an option to completely disable signatures in news posts. Added an option to select a random poll from any forum for the poll part of the hack. Further optimized parts of the code and slightly changed part of the structure. Now shows "No Buddies Online" in the buddy list if no buddies are online. Changed so it will no longer show a default icon for the news and latest threads unless your options are also set to show a default icon on the forumdisplay page. Now shows the last poster and last post time when you hold your mouse over the title of a thread in the Latest Threads part. The install script has been re-written so you can install, upgrade, uninstall, update your news posts (useful for first time installations where a news forum already exists), or install just the templates (useful after upgrading vBulletin to a new version) all from one file. Significantly reduced the size of the weather_install.php file (from 3.0 MB to 1.25 MB) so it will not take so long to upload to your server. Fixed a couple of small spacing issues in the poll templates. Fixed a problem with JJR512's weather hack not pulling the weather forcast. Added a FAQ section to the readme file to help common problems. Upgrading should take no longer than 2 minutes and instructions can be found at the bottom of the readme file. Updates from version 3.0 v3.1 is mostly a maintenance release to help cut down on first time installation problems. Other than that, the biggest difference you will notice is the template "style" has changed to mesh better with vBulletin (see screenshots above). You do not have to install the new templates as you will have the option to install the new templates or to skip that step in the install file. Other than the templates, here is a list of the other changes: A few more "error checking" features have been added to ensure you won't get a nasty sql error if you leave your News or Poll Forum ID, or any of the other fields blank. The problem some users were experiencing with the temperature for the weather part of the hack should be fixed for good. The "Show Poll" option in the Admin CP is removed as this can now be disabled simply by leaving the "Poll Fourm ID" filed blank. Fixed a small typo and optimized parts of the code a little further. Slightly changed the position of the days and numbers in the calendar part. Fixes a bug where the Today's Birthday part wouldn't point to the correct url. Upgrading should take no longer than 2 minutes and instructions can be found at the bottom of the readme file. Updates from version 2.0 Removed the option from the Admin CP to allow smilies in News posts as this can now be set per post just as you would when making a regular post. Added a stats section with info such as total members, threads, posts, newest member, top poster, and today's birthdays. Added a "Today's Events" section under the calendar that will display any events that are scheduled for the current day, and will only be visible if there are events listed for the current day. Added an option to show the poster's avatar with the news post. You can now have your signature displayed with the news post. This is controlled when posting the message just as you would with a regular post. Added an option to display the news post's rating with the news. Added options to show small icons to allow users to show a printable version of the news post and an option to allow users to email their friends a link to the news post. Added an option to allow/disable HTML in news posts. Added an option to allow/disable the [img] tag in news posts. Shows the number of times a news post has been viewed. Shows the number of new posts since the users last visit. Shows the number of replies to the poll if poll discussions are allowed. Fixed a bug where the search box would take you to the search page rather than displaying the results. Fixed a bug where setting the News Posts Maximum to 0 would disable the news rather than giving it no limit. Optimized the code a little more to increase performance.

reismarktq2 - I'm really not sure why that wouldn't work... Most of the code there was taken from the postbit section for the flags hack, so it should work. I checked one of the flags in your postbit section and it was working fine and did contain %20 in the url, so perhaps it's something else? If you can't figure it out, if you could post the url that the image is pointing to I will try to help you figure out the problem.
ivanmcp - Checked and replied.  I'll try to re-write the calendar section for the hack as soon as I get the time. It does at least work properly if someone hasn't changed their "Start of the week" in their profile, so at least it shouldn't affect too many people. Re-writing the calendar part will require a bit of work and these last couple of weeks have been very busy for me. Hopefully though the next couple won't be quite as bad and I'll have the time to re-write the calendar, but unfortunatly I can't make any promises.spick - I'm assuming you mean the URL for your header images and such is pointing to /images/ instead of /forum/images? If so then you need to modify your images path for each style you have as instructed in the install file.

Quote:
first find: Code:
$today = vbdate('m-d',time());
Code:
$today = vbdate('d-m-Y',time());
second find: Code:
if (!$bbuserinfo['startofweek']) {
$bbuserinfo['startofweek'] = '1';
}
Code:
if (!$bbuserinfo['startofweek']) {
$bbuserinfo['startofweek'] = '2';
}
and the calculation of the weeks is working now.

Figured it out, Tigga - $bburl should have preceded images in the img SRC. Working now.

I have it installed, but haven't made it my home page just yet. Probably will shortly. I like the calendar atatchment. I have been using home lite but really wanted my calendar included.
Anyhow, I have a few other things I'm wanting to do. There are 2 custom templates included with the program which I have utilized. 1 is going to be my navigation setup, the other will probably be some links. I would like to figure out how to add other custom templates to the set up that could be turned on and off from the Admin panel and used in a similar manner. Is this possible? I also want to eventually build pages that break out the individual forums from the board. Example: I run an outdoor site and have included a separate Forum for each of the lakes in this area. I want to build pages for the lakes that have specific lake information other than the reports from the board as well as advertising for those local businesses. Somewhere in that page, I want to put its forum. I haven't yet figured out how to do that. I'm no programmer, just trying to figure out how to get this system to do what I want it to do. I notice that with the index template, you use something like this to include other templates in it $calendar. How could you include other templates not in group of myVbindix. Example $forumid135 or $home_quicklinks. Maybe you have to add the other templates to the myVbindex group. If so, how do you do that? Skip

It says this on my index page...
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/virtual/site30/fst/var/www/html/index.php:6) in /home/virtual/site30/fst/var/www/html/forums/admin/functions.php on line 1614 This happened when I changed from an HTML index page to myvBindex as my index page. The funny thing is it doesn't do it ALL the time. Any help, ideas?? Thanks in advance!

reismarktq2 - Glad you figured out the problem.
Skipsoutdoors - If you'll refer to this post I have updated the instructions there to include options to turn these new templates on/off. If you are trying to include other templates on your homepage, you would have to follow the same instructions there, except you would change the name of the custom template to the name of your current template. jdmuniverse - Have you modified your original myvbindex.php file in any way? Can you post here or PM me with a link to your site?

Tigga - another quickie if you don't mind
. Today my homepage is taking an eternity to display. I used the old ?explain=1 at the end of the link to see what queries / times were being executed. It produced the following:Code:
Query: SELECT * FROM weather_userdata WHERE userid='1' Time before: 0.22496795654297 Time after: 0.22560501098633 table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra weather_userdata const PRIMARY PRIMARY 4 const 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Query: SELECT findword,replaceword FROM replacement WHERE replacementsetid IN(-1,'14') ORDER BY replacementsetid DESC,replacementid DESC Time before: 20.499752998352 Time after: 20.501306056976 table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra replacement ALL replacementsetid 120 where used; Using filesort -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page generated in 20.499583959579 seconds with 33 queries, spending 0.098888039588928 doing MySQL queries and 20.400695919991 doing PHP things. Query: UPDATE session SET lastactivity=1055272282,location='/myvbindex/index.php?explain=1',styleid=11 WHERE sessionhash='c7402ff04c96a36383b780512e15ad35' Time before: 20.525825977325 Time after: 20.526376008987 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Query: UPDATE user SET lastactivity=1055272282,inforum='0' WHERE userid='1' Time before: 20.526528000832 Time after: 20.526996970177 Thx. for any advice. Update I've just turned off the weather display and the page loads fine. So I guess it must be down to the website providing the weather. As this is out of our control and would produce a timeout after 30 seconds for php execution, would it be possible to incorporate some sort of time limit on display of the weather and if it doesn't display in that time then don't display it? Otherwise we're all at the mercy of an independently run site.
