VPortal

The vbportal site says the version for vb 2.03 is still in development, but it appears some folks on here are already running it with 2.03. Whats the deal? I would like to get this program if it would work.

boy did this thread take its ups and downs.. lol

I felt like I just went to King's Island... and rode on the BEAST

or Son of Beast... hehe

Anyways.. I am glad it has calmed down and everyone is back to relaxing in their chairs/recliners... (ppl sitting on the couch?$)

btw.. Pilot.. on your problem of having to relocate things.. to get it to work.. I have tested a theory of mine a few times. and have got it to work... but it will take a few minutes to get it set up correctly and working perfectly..

btw.. moving the folder is not going to hurt anything other than your paths to your images.. for the most part.

The very serious accusations you make are unfounded and just based on speculation. If the same accusations were thrown at me, I will no doubt seek to take immidiate legal action against you for defamation.

I beleive that legal action can't be taken for someone's opinion..
I could br wrong though

For someone's opinion not, but for defamation of character in public. You can't go around calling or suggesting someone is a thief, specilally if it is not true.

Anyway, the person has already apologised in public so there is no point in continuing talking about the matter.

All I can say is vbportal is awesome! Everyone (even wajones) takes time to help when you run into problems or have questions.

Moving the VB folder will make all the URLs that are posted on my BB which refer to other threads on the same BB stop working for one thing.

Plus people will have the forum index bookmarked and have thread URLs posted on other sites etc etc.

It's really inconvenient and I would prefer that hacks did not require such changes so they could be tested without risk.

The documentation just says move the VB directory - does not really explain the rationale for it and for some of the other installation steps.

Pilot, this is an issue yes.. we are trying to work on it as best as we can.. but the only bad part is.. if you are going to have an index page.. what are you going to do with the index.php file that the forums use.. as their homepage..

either way.. it is a problem that is hard to solve, yes renaming one of them will do it.. but will it do the job? Not really... any suggestions on this are more than welcome..

Why can't VBPortal have a path setting so it can find the VB script directory (wherever it might be) instead of requiring it to be under it's own directory?

From a "professional" point of view - it looks bad to make the user site have to fit it with the hack's point of view instead of being parameterised.

I see the Portal replacing my home page and not replacing my forum index.

I could install VBP into my home directory (server root) but there are a lot of files.

Ease of use/install = degree of takeup, I thought VBP lite was going to make this happen.

It goes back to the two index.php files.. there bud.

Since the Forums by defualt is index.php and is such because not everyone is using vbportal and most people just have the forums installed.

So how do you propose changing it so you can have two index files in one directory? That is the question.. and that is the problem.

Yah it is a pain in the butt to change everything around just to work.. and it best works when you are doing a clean install.. and I have not used the light version yet.
