ok it works but not the poll. i dunno why. i made a poll in the poll forum. only a vote button came up in the poll part of vbindex.
can u help me?

ExAvIoUr · #**228** 08-20-2002, 06:55 PM

nevermindmind i fixed it

exTracT · #**229** 08-20-2002, 08:47 PM

I have been reading through the posts and am still confused about 2 things.

1. The polls, I have added one poll to the Forum-poll. and it will only show up on the vbindex page after the user has voted.

it originally has a vote box and a results link, and they both say a poll must be selected or something.

2. I cannot get the online users part to work for some reason, online today users show up the rest dosen't. I don't see
online now ,members or guests

thanks in advance I love this hack , I have been looking for something like this for a while now.

Have you got a link or a screenshot? So that I can take a look and get more of an idea what the problem is.

NTLDR:

First off I'd like to say that I admine you for picking up where el3m3nt left off and posting v2 of this hack. I must say that I started with an older version of 1.x and have been through some of the 'growing pains' of bug fixes. part of it has been my learning curve of PHP and templates, but I feel that I am getting the hang of it finally.

One question, though.... If you check out my current homepage under development with a 1.3 version of vbindex, you'll see that the news segments don't parse all the vb code (look at the LIST tags)... is there a fix for this? It picked up the IMG tags alright, but not some of the others...

This isn't a bug that I am aware of, if you look at this screenshot that I posted at the start it shows all the vBcode being parsed correctly. Perhaps you should try uploading v2 and just testing that to see if the code parses correctly or not.

On a side note I'd like to say that you have done a great job with the page

I only installed the "Poll" part of the vbindex.php file so that I can post the latest polls in my forumhome.

Works well. I even managed to reinstall the poll results bars. Looks nicer with the image bars. Thanks.

RenzukenX · #**234** 08-21-2002, 05:43 PM

This is killing me, I've been working to try and fix this hack for 3 days on my test board and yet no luck and it is probably a simple little mistake.

Well my test forum is based at www.f-fantasy.com/forums and the vbindex is at www.f-fantasy.com and no matter how much I edit, I keep running back into this problem.

Help!

(I apologise if this topic has been covered before but I really am in "ugh" mode)

NTLDR · #**235** 08-21-2002, 05:45 PM

Have you set the path and uncommented the chdir() statement?

It should look like:

PHP Code:


			
chdir('./forums');

RenzukenX · #**236** 08-21-2002, 06:01 PM

It currently looks like this:

//chdir('./forums');
require('./forums/global.php');

And I get the :

Warning: Unable to access ./admin/config.php in /home/virtual/site57/fst/var/www/html/forums/global.php on line 118

When I edit it as so:

//chdir('./forums/global.php');
require('./global.php');

I get the:

Warning: Unable to access ./global.php in /home/virtual/site57/fst/var/www/html/index.php on line 26

It is killing me, almost literally!

NTLDR · #**237** 08-21-2002, 06:05 PM

It **MUST** be:

PHP Code:


			
chdir('./forums');

require('./global.php');

Not:

PHP Code:


			
//chdir('./forums');

require('./forums/global.php');

Note the removed //, the other error was on my part in my last post. My applogies.

RenzukenX · #**238** 08-21-2002, 06:11 PM

Thank you, that seems to have solved that but as my luck dictates, yet another error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/virtual/site57/fst/var/www/html/index.php on line 26

NTLDR · #**239** 08-21-2002, 06:13 PM

Line 26 should be:

PHP Code:


			
require('./global.php');

If not what have you got?

RenzukenX · #**240** 08-21-2002, 06:21 PM

That is exactly what is there, and yet that error still rears its ugly head.

NTLDR · #**241** 08-21-2002, 06:26 PM

Grrr, I missed a vital ' in the above code.

Make sure its:

PHP Code:


			
chdir('./forums');

Sorry, its been a long day
