vBadvanced CMPS - Old Support Thread

Tigga - let me be the first to say what an absolutely outstanding hack this is. I've been using it now for about a month (or whenever you first released it on your website).

Installed and working great on 3.0.1. Fantastic work !!!! Waiting to vote for it on 'Hack of the Month'.



* Intex clicks INSTALL. Even though it was installed a few weeks ago .

ShutDown23 & pjdaley - The path to your forums is incorrect. Please see the readme file on how to find the correct path.

disquiet - That means the tables in the database have become corrupt. You should be able to repair them using the 'Repair / Optimize Tables' option in your admin cp.

Koopa - You've mishacked your functions.php file. Try getting a fresh, un-hacked version of the file and re-apply the changes using Notepad or another simple text editor. Do NOT use Dreamweaver or any similar programs as these have been known to cause problems in the past.

Tigga...that was the first thing I tried last night after I posted here...

I'll try again anyways...

Any idea why the tables are corrupting?? It was working for me earlier today, then down it went again...

[Tigga]

I have no idea... That's the first time I've heard of someone saying that one of those was corrupted.

[disquiet]

Yeah...it's kinda funny...The forums itself work...but the CMPS doesn't...also, the private message list doesn't work...the inbox I mean...but I can see my read reciepts and sent messages...

Makes no sense...

I have this installed on my site in a couple of test directories using a clean install of vBulletin and a new database and all seems to be working fine. I understand that if I install this in my normal site directory nothing will be seen until I decide to go live and change cmps_index.php to index.php. My questions are these:

• When I install this will any changes be made to the appearance of my existing forums? I would like to use the system for my main site and leave my forums as they are. Does installation change my existing styles in any way?
• Related to the above point, is it as easy as using a newly-created style for the main site and the existing ones for the forums?
• When I create a new template in order to add a page to my main site, for example "fees", the new URL for the page will be http://www.mysite.com/cmps_index.php?page=fees. Now, when I go "live" with the site and change "cmps_index.php" to "index.php" do the other pages I've created change automatically along with it, i.e. does http://www.mysite.com/cmps_index.php?page=fees become http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=fees, or do I have to change each one manually?

Hopefully these questions make some semblance of sense.

1. No.
2. Not sure I follow you on this one... Why would you need to create a new style for the CMPS? By default it will use whatever style the user has selected.
3. The link to the new pages you create will be whatever you've named the file, so if you rename it to index.php, then the links to the file would have to be index.php?page=whatever

What I'm wanting to do is have a different header, layout, etc. on my main site from any of the selectable styles available on my forums. I don't want the style the user selects on my forums to have any bearing whatsoever on the appearance of my main site pages. Is this as simple as creating a new style and setting "Allow User Selection" to "No"? Sorry if I'm not being clear here.

Thanks for the quick reply, and kudos on the fantastic piece of software.
