vBindex · **Released**: 04-04-2002

Latest Version: 1.3

This hack is not very special for me. I just wanted to create a mainpage on which you can see.. (as a member) everything what u like to see. The idea of the script is similar to the vbHome of nakkid and also a little bit to the vBPortal. I tested all of them.. but i was looking for something better

. so i decided to write such a script myself...

Features:

Active threads & newest posts
News & Polls (read from a newsforum and a pollforum)
Quick CP Links on the index-site
Buddies on the index-site
Very easy to customize. Just edit the templates!
Available in english and german!

Summary: On this index-site you can see everything what you as a member would like to see

.

Demo-Sites:

http://partylife.ch [German Version]
http://www.kampfkunst-info.de.vu [German Version]
http://www.ukwinternet.co.uk/forum/home.php [English Version]

Screenshot 1: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex1.jpg // the original version and arrangement of the tables.
Screenshot 2: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex2.jpg // the nav on the right side.
Screenshot 3: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex3.jpg // or if u like 2 navs, left & right
Screenshot 4: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex4.jpg // another screen
Screenshot 5: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex5.jpg // buddies etc.

I finnaly got it to work... I just did a plain install of Vb and VbIndex and now it works great!
anyway, can anyone help me please with this:

I want: To show up the left-menu on the forums page
What I did: I put this line:

PHP Code:


			
eval("\$left = \"".gettemplate('home_left')."\";");

just at the end of index.php and added home_left to the '$templatesused-list'

I thought that it would show up now when I would include $left somewhere in the header... but it doesn't?!? what am I doing wrong? (did I edit the wrong file or something?!?)

thanks in advance for your help,

Anyway...I don;t see how this could work since I am renaming the index file of vb...so when ever going to the root, you will be goiong to the portal. That seems...odd. never the less, I would really like to get something running like this. I guess I am jut brain dead or something.
Any help would be apreciated.

I had the same error see Here for what fixed it for me it might help you

Bad Bunny, make sure that there is nothing after the "?>" ie make sure that the > is the last character of the file and there are no lines after it and no spaces, I think this is what is causing the problem.

element, you have 57queries on your page. that means your server on the red line. everything over 40 is bad.

erdem · #**291** 05-05-2002, 04:46 AM

another 57 on me

nakkid, visit this link: http://partylife.ch/index.php?action...&numthreads=30
you get 106 queries without any problems. the server is located in the us. so you should have the faster connection then i have

.

TECK · #**293** 05-05-2002, 09:56 AM

this is incredible... i hope you know that your server is exploding only with 20-30users... at 108queries.
if i would be you, i would reduce those queries. if your site is getting busy, i guarantee you that your current host will cancel your account. you could fry their server every day at this rate. just a friendly advice.
just for fun, what is the server load you get in average? 5, 6, 7? what value? i'm curious... let me know please.

el3m3nt · #**294** 05-05-2002, 02:50 PM

ehm.. about 3.5!

well.. i know nakkid.. thanks for your advice

. the point is.. that i dont expect that the site is getting busy

.
hmm.. i dont think my host would cancel my account.. first he would kill me

. no i hope not

. well i get this server for free.. and i'm very happy with it.. even if its not the fastest i could get

nobody can help me with this?
I don't know where to go else to get some help?

el3m3nt · #**296** 05-05-2002, 05:00 PM

ehm.. flyingdutchman..

$templateused list.. just reads the templates in a cache memory.
the home_left is already loaded in the original vbindex file. you just have to put the $left where ever you want in the 'home' template. (sorry for my english.. i just don't know to translate this correctly

)

hope this helped you. if not... just ask

I had a look, but I couldn't get this to work I'm afraid. It is either, the forums index.php or global.php that needs to be editied, take a look at the vbportal code, that may help you as it has a left menu in the forums option.

Ok, I'll look at that then

hmm, I think you don't understand me... I want it to show up on the index.php page from vB, next to my forums...

FlyingDutchman · #**299** 05-06-2002, 05:15 AM

I found it out... It needs to be in global.php instead of index.php

now it works...

thx anyway for your help guys...

FlyingDutchman · #**300** 05-06-2002, 05:31 AM

it's working well, except I don't know where to put the other variables and vb code... like this:

PHP Code:


			
// pm

// -------------------------

$newpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND dateline>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit] AND folderid=0");



if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('home_logout')."\";");

  eval("\$buddy = \"".gettemplate('home_buddy1')."\";");



} else {

  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('home_login')."\";");

  $buddy = "";

}

i tried putting it in index.php and global.php but it doesn't work

I'll try to find some code in index.php where I can just insert some lines of this code... I think that should work, but I don't like searching

boiboi · #**301** 05-06-2002, 08:59 AM

i did everything per instruction but i get a blank screen. my forums is installed in root and so is the new index.php and the old was renamed to home.php. home.php works just fine. is it the templates not showing up?
