This hack is not very special for me. I just wanted to create a mainpage on which you can see.. (as a member) everything what u like to see. The idea of the script is similar to the vbHome of nakkid and also a little bit to the vBPortal. I tested all of them.. but i was looking for something better . so i decided to write such a script myself...
Features:
Active threads & newest posts
News & Polls (read from a newsforum and a pollforum)
Quick CP Links on the index-site
Buddies on the index-site
Very easy to customize. Just edit the templates!
Available in english and german!
Summary: On this index-site you can see everything what you as a member would like to see .
Credits
Newscode part from vBHome by nakkid.
Onlinetodaycode part from Online Today Hack by Mystics.
Pollcode part from vBPortal by wajones.
Note!
I'd really like to get every feedback you guys can give me. Also post bugreports and suggestions to improve this script. If you have installed this hack, pls click on the install button to receive updates thru email. Thank you .

This isn't caused by the vBindex hack and has something to do with when you have edited newthread.php.
You need to find the query thats causing the problem and try removing topic in the query, or check that you have installed the hack that this is for correctly.
Originally posted by EA Junkie Hmm... I think I followed the instructions correctly, but when I load the new index page it's blank. Just a white screen? Any suggestions... Please...
Thanks in advance!
Did you add all the templates correctly? It sounds like its a template problem you have, check that you have added all the home_ and home templates.
Originally posted by JJR512 The maxloggedin template should have a templatesetid of -2. I also don't know what difference it will make, but that's how it is by default.
I think the problem you all are having is because the index.php file in this hack is missing this:
PHP Code:
$loadbirthdays=1;
$loadmaxusers=1;
This needs to be near the top of index.php, just under the $templatesused bits. You'll see it's in vBulletin's own index.php. I've made a similar hack to this one, only I've never released it, and had the same problem with the maxonline record getting reset to the current number whenever someone loaded my home page. Putting those lines in fixed it. It's only the loadmaxusers line that you really need to fix this problem, but you should probably have the loadbirthdays line, too.
Thanks for the fix JJR512, this has been the one thing that has allways bugged me since this hack was released, although it has worked fine for me with just the who's online today hack removed from the vBindex file it hasn't for everyone else and this also cuts the number of queries down by 2.
Originally posted by grooveh 1) On the news part, I'd love to be able to only display, say the 1st paragraph of a thread on the home page, with a read full>> button going to the thread with the full article. I've seen a few of the other hacks with something like this, but for the life of me, cant seem to be able to piece them together properly. Is there a simple way to do this, that I'm just missing???
Can you recall what hacks do use this method? If you can I can take a look at them and I can probably work out how to integrate this into this hack but adding in the code for that function.

HTML to my knowlage will not work on the home page in posts, I think it only parses vB Code and Smiles, this is something I am going to look into for when I re-release this hack as I have el3m3nt's permission to do so now.
Do you have a version of this hack with all of the fixes implemented that I've been reading about in previous posts? If not, when do you expect to have the next release set?

I expect to release a new version of this hack in the next couple of weeks with all the fixes and hopefully some new features within the next couple of weeks.
I think that Logician's (vportal i think) has that function included. I have seen a few others out there...but none compare to the functionality of the vbindex!
As far as html, if i could find a way to put an image to start the news, and then the news right below it...I'd be as happy as being able to put html in my thread on the home page.
NTLDR: I got that working in my vbindex script today, with a little help from Logician himself! It took a lot of farting around, but I have it integrated now.
What I'd love to see is how to embed photos in the vbindex (say at the beginning of a thread).....do you know any way to do this?

Just use vB Code to insert an image at the start of the thread.
