vBadvanced.com is now open! There you will find more information regarding vBadvanced Homepage, FAQ's, hacks & modifications, and more.


vBadvanced Homepage v1.1 Released! (01.27.04)

vBadvanced Homepage is an advanced homepage / portal that will allow you to include different options from your vBulletin message board on your site's homepage. It also allows you to easily create and manage new pages which are completely powered by vBulletin and vBadvanced. There are over 40 options where you can enable/disable the features, plus everything is template based so it is very easy to customize and change everything through your Admin CP.



Features:
  • Login box for members to log in to your site on the homepage.
  • Post News in a forum you specify and have it appear on your homepage.
  • Create new pages in which the content will replace the news section of your homepage.
  • Show the latest threads started in your forum on your homepage.
  • Show a poll and allow users to vote and see the results on your homepage.
  • Shows users avatar, new private messages, and buddy list for members who are logged in.
  • Shows a list of active users.
  • Shows statistics such as total members, threads, posts, top poster, newest member, and today's birthday's.
  • Shows a mini calendar with links to days with scheduled events, and a box with today's scheduled events.
  • Search box to allow users to quickly search your forums.
  • Set and change all options via the Admin CP.
  • Ability to easily switch on/off the polls, users avatar, buddy list, online users, search box, calendar, custom templates, news icons, news comments, smilies, set the maximum number of news posts, and many other options via the Admin CP.
  • Everything is completely template based so it is very easy to customize.
  • Install file that will make all database queries and templates for you in seconds.
  • Uninstalls in seconds.
  • Tested and stable with vBulletin 3.0 RC.
  • 100% validated XHTML 1.0 compliance
A nice feature of vBadvanced Homepage is that it is optimized and designed for large web sites. vBadvanced Homepage performs only 5 queries with all the options turned off. Some options will cause the script to perform extra queries, but even with all the options turned on it still performs only 17 queries at max.

Here is a list of each extra function that will cause extra queries:
  • News - 1 query
  • Latest Threads - 1 query
  • Poll - 1 query (2 if the user has voted)
  • User's Avatar - 1 query
  • Buddy List and/or Online Users - 1 query
  • Mini Calendar - 3 queries (none for the simple calendar)
  • Stats - 2 queries
  • New Posts - 1 query

in my post icon manager the path to the example smiley that's not showing up is:

http://www.technonuts.com/forums/ima...ons/icon14.gif

So the path within vB is already correct. They work fine from within vBulletin but not on the front page.

Just bumping my question.

Hi there - still loving your portal!! However, I would like to use the Shout bar from vbindex on this as well.

Fisrtly, would that be a problem for you? I mean, would you be offended if we mixed and matched? Secondly, how the hell would I do that?

Nmidia - If you can figure out how to port the shoutbox from vBindex, then there's no problem here. You may want to check with them though as they may require a copyright notice or something like that since you're using their script. I will be making a shoutbox as an add-on for this soon... I'm working on getting vbadvanced.com up (hopefully by next week) where we will provide support for this scripts, hacks, and other stuff.

Casparian - I'm not quite sure I know what you mean by the spaces and comments in the who's online list... As far as the colors, I'm assuming that you're acomplishing that through the "Username HTML Markup" option, right? I'll be sure that's added in the next version. I don't think listing the online users in rows will ever be the default way it's done since that could cause that box to become huge, but I could probably release a hack for it once vbadvanced.com is up and running.
As for the "Unknown Location" on the Who's Online page, there is a fairly easy way to fix that. I'll have to find the code and post it when I have more time... Just an FYI though, only admin's will see the "Unknown Location" text - regular members will just see that they are on the forum's index page.
To make your header look like your forum header, you will need to modify your index_header and index_footer templates to match your forum ones.
As for moving the blocks around, those can all be modified in the index template. Everything is well commented, so as long as you know at least a little HTML then it shouldn't be hard at all to move them where you wish.

Rids - I think the problem with the icons is that it's pulling them from the icon cache rather than the actual path that's in the database... At least that's the only thing I can figure since everything else does seem to be correct. Try modifying your thumbsup icon, just save it in the icon manager without making any changes, and let me know if that makes a difference.
I may need to throw some code in there to update the icon cache after the image paths are modified...

Glad that worked. I figured that had to be it. I'll be sure to add some code in to update the icon cache for the next version... Damn Jelsoft and all their new caching and other optimizations.

Hello Tigga,

i like vBadvanced very much! Well done.

I've had a small problem with too much cells in the minicalendar. But after reading this thread and doing what i was told now it works very nice.

Thank you for your work!

Ok, for my users who are not logged in / not registered I would like to display a box ie "custom 1" which will display ads from google.

However if they are registered and logged in I do not want them to see these ads.

I know VB has usergroup options, how do I setit up so if the usergroup is the unregistered/not logged in to show custom1 but for any other usergroup to not display it?

Any TECHNICAL detail on how to do this would be great. (like actual code)

Thanks in advance.
