No sure I follow, could you expand a bit more?

[ExAvIoUr]

ok my index.php file is hacked. so the line numbers stated in the install.txt doesn't match. which i know.

i copied the lines that was stated in the install file. i wanna know if that is the right one.

should i attach the part of code or paste it here?

do u get waht i am saying?

[NTLDR]

If you have everything between:

PHP Code:

$activeusers = ""; 


And:

PHP Code:

  eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\";");
} 


Then its correct.

[ExAvIoUr]

ok good. i have that. if i have ne other troubles i will post it

thanx

[ExAvIoUr]

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]

nevermindmind i fixed it

[exTracT]

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.

[NTLDR]

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...
