It appears our original admin installed vbindex, it is unused. I looked at readme_1st and it doesn't appear to address uninstalling.

As per above, I've gone through the uninstall step, but a ton of vbindex templates remain.

We're doing a major site upgrade and I'd like to remove these vbindex associated templates. What is the best way to do this?

I installed vbindex to vb 3.0.3 with no problems, and then I pointed my browser to mydomain.com/forum/admincp/vbioptions.php and set all of the preferences, and hit "save" yet when I looked at my forum it looked exactly the same. I was not able to edit the index.php file from the admincp folder since I did not see the text indicated in that file, but the installation said that step was optional anyway. I selected to use the left column, with 0 custom side blocks ( I changed the number and didn't see any differences), in left box 1 I chose Shoutbox, Left box 2 I chose Latest Threads, Left Box 3 is Online USers, Left Box 4 is Poll, and the rest are unused. I did not enable the news, chose to have "latest threads" enabled, with 5 most recent showing, and subscribed icon, enabled the Poll, enabled a Random Poll, set the Poll forum ID to the Voting Booth forum I set up, enabled the Shoutbox, enabled the welcome box, did not enable the calendar, did enable who's online, and then hit save, but I see no difference in my forum at all. When I go to forum/vbindex.php I can see the vbindex boxes I set up, but no forum content. How do I get index.php and vbindex.php to merge? How do I set it up so I can actually see new content? I did make the changes indicated in the first step to the vbiconfig.php file, and reupped it to my server, but still see no changes at all to the content of index.php.

Hi All,
I have Vb3.0.3 and just installed Bindex RC5.
The install worked ok (got stuck in the images config page loop)
Tried configuring the options page and then saved my settings but this made no change at all to my vbulletin homepage.

One thing troubled me during the install. The screens that ask you to click on the "next" button prompted me to "please wait" but no further updates were displayed. I was kind of expecting to be told to proceed, but no, nothing. is this how it is meant to be?

some help on this would be much appreciated.

Cheers

ps as a footnote, I'd recommend a bit more assistance in the options page as its not quite clear where each box will be positioned (other than left or right)

Same here. How do you removed the vBindex templates?
I ran the uninstaller but they are still there.

As usual I find myself answering my own posts.

Simply hit revert. Silly me, I was looking for delete.

Hi guys since I moved my site to a different server vbindex not longer runs. I am not a PHP guru or any sort of guru but here are the errors:
Code:
Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/vbindex.php on line 145

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/vbindex.php on line 146

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/vbindex.php on line 146
File version is: vBindex, File v3.0.21

Also VB 3.0.1 runs fines on the server .

Thank you for your help and Marry Christmas!

Odoin
it looks like your folderpaths are incorrect...
open your vbindex.php with an simple text editor like wordPad
and try to find
maybe there are incorrect paths...
+++++++++
chdir(CHDIR_PATH);
require_once('./global'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);
require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);
require_once('./includes/functions_user'.SCRIPT_EXTENSION);
++++++++
