Can anybody tell me how include the styles header template in the VBINDEX template without cutting and pasting HTML?
I've tried putting $header after the <body> tag but it seems to be including the vbindex_header template there instead.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I solved my problem.
in your vbindex.php file go to line 1158
look for:
PHP Code:
eval("\$home[header] = \"".fetch_template('vbindex_header')."\";"); 
replace with:
PHP Code:
eval("\$home[header] = \"".fetch_template('header')."\";"); 
Now where ever you put the $header variable in your vbindex templates your style's header will show instead of vindex's. Just keep in mind that you will no longer be able to use the vbindex_header template. Which is fine by me.

If you want to use your style's footer template rather than vbindex's, go to line 1156(should be right above the place you edited for the header section)
look for:
PHP Code:
eval("\$home[footer] = \"".fetch_template('vbindex_footer')."\";"); 
and replace with:
PHP Code:
eval("\$home[footer] = \"".fetch_template('footer')."\";"); 
There ya go, easy as cake.

Anyone prepared to share their wisdom ???

I have installed vBindex on 3.0.6, basically the install was faultless, all went in as per instructions.

Problem is obviously due to the updates in vBulletin since 3.0.0 this hack appears not to work, has anyone managed to get it to work on 3.0.5 or 6, if so would you please note the changes you had to make, working vBindex is awesome and i know it works on 3.0.6 because it can be seen HERE.

Any help would be much appreciated and i'm sure would put more than this one user out of their misery.

Chrz

AlfA

How can I have the centered latest threads box on top of the news threads, instead of the default way it is now?
