vBadvanced CMPS - Old Support Thread

Tigga - let me be the first to say what an absolutely outstanding hack this is. I've been using it now for about a month (or whenever you first released it on your website).

Installed and working great on 3.0.1. Fantastic work !!!! Waiting to vote for it on 'Hack of the Month'.



* Intex clicks INSTALL. Even though it was installed a few weeks ago .

I have RC1...Think I'll upgrade tomorrow. Still, freakin awesome job Tigga!

[freehtml]

I had just installed it at http://www.sgwebhostingtalk.com/index.php

And ithad displayed me the following error :

Warning: main(/home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/cmps_index.php on line 25

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/global.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/cmps_index.php on line 25

I had tried to append the path info in the info.php that I created and the same problem still occurs..'

Any advice?

You did edit the chdir correctly

/home/virtual/site23/fst/var/www/html/forum

However it seems to be working fine now

Can someone help me?

I've edited all the options in the admincp, but when i go to my portal, I don't see the news I was imported just the News Archive.

Thank you

no you misunderstand
the point of it is that i don't want CMPS to be same width as the forum

i'd like it to be 100% instead of the same width as the forum


is it easily done this time ?

msimplay - this is pretty easy to do. Simply create a child-style from your existing forum style. You can then change the width of the homepage + anything else you like and anything you change will only apply to that style.

The advantage of using a child style also means that any global changes you make to the parent style will cascade to the child style, where you haven't modified that directly of course.

Hope that helps.

Great hack!

I am currently using vBindex and I get 0 support with it as all of my questions are being ignored. So, I am considering switching to this portal. And, I have a question.

Is there any way of displaying the LATEST THREADS from a selected forum in a block?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, there is an option in the latest threads section where you may specify a forumid(s) to pull the threads from.

Can you run through the steps to upgrade from vBAdvanced in full please. ?

Follow the install instructions, set up the CMPS, and then uninstall the homepage. There is a section in the CMPS install file that checks to see if you have the Homepage installed, and if so, gives you the option to import your settings.

What do you have your 'News Posts Maximum' set to? From looking at your site, it looks like you may have that set to 0, which would cause the posts to be displayed in the archive instead.

Ahhh, sorry. Yes, you should be able to change the width of that table in the 'adv_portal' template.

Is it possible to assign each page its own unique theme/style?

[Tigga]

Yup. Take a look at this screenshot and you will see the option.

Have installed in minutes and thanks to the user manual you provide, am already adding new pages. A huge amount of work and forethought has obviously gone into this. Superlative work!
