FAQ

1. How do I configure what forum report threads should go to?
   At the top of userpage.php, there are several clearly documented variables that you can edit. One of these establishes the forumid that you want reported pages to be reported to.

A minimum character limit would be nice. As soon as users click Create User Page, it makes a blank page regardless if they've done anything to it. I have about two dozen members with blank pages now.

That said, I load the hack as per instructions and get a "500 Internal Server Error". When I remove the .htaccess file I can now make a personal page but get a "Can't find phase" error and the same error with the shout out....

What can be done to fix this?

Is it listing which phrase it can't find?

[Dark_D]

O yes sorry, "Could not find phrase 'shout_posted'."

Is the phrase there?

If not, try adding it. AdminCP -> Languages and Phrases -> Add New Phrase.

The text is just, coincidentally, Shout Posted.

Product Userpages by amykhar
Varname $vbphrase[shout_posted]
Text Shout Posted

Yup it's there.....any other ideas? Does taht have anything to do with the .haccess that I can get to work?

[Club3G]

I don't think so, I didn't bother with the htaccess file at all. From what I can tell all it does is rewrite the URL so that you can put in the user's name instead of the user ID to link it.

Total stab in the dark, but perhaps try reuploading bitfield_userpage to the includes/xml folder.

[Dark_D]

I reinstalled the whole thing and not any different....
So I can live with out the "htaccess" file???
The phase, It looks like I can live without them also.

Thanks for the input....

[Club3G]

Yeah, not needed at all.

What's the URL that's throwing the 500, if you don't mind posting it? It might be a file permissions problem - try setting the .php file to 755 and see if that does it - sometimes 500's are a server config deal.

[Dark_D]

I changed the htaccess to the 755.
The link would be my forum + admincp/index.php

Still get, o'yeah its on all site pages not just admin:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

No biggie, I'll play with it tomorrow.

[Club3G]

I'm confused, but I'm on your time standard so we're probably in the same boat.

What's giving you the 500? I don't get why you're going to the admincp instead of forum/userpage.php.

I'd kill that htaccess if I were you, sounds like something's not jivin' with your setup.

[waza]

.htaccess file is a well known issue. But we can't fix is as both amy & I use vbseo...

Well I noticed the problem while trying to work in the admincp. I would get the same thing on all site pages......don't understand why.....We can stop digging this hole...hehe thanks for the help.

Nice to know it's not just me and that I can live without it, thanks.

I've installed and it works great. But I have a problem if I want my users to use it.
My directory structure is public_html/forums. userpage.php seems to have to be inthe forums directory and so does the .htaccess file.

But this means that my "short urls" are form:
http://ncwoodworker.net/forums/SteveColes
But I really want them to be of the form
http://ncwoodworker.net/SteveColes

I've tried a few things, but just as I think I've gotten it working, I realize something is broken.

Anybody had any luck in making it work like I've described?

[groberthall]

Has anyone tried to combine a more fully featured shoutbox or chat with this ? something like VBshout which uses ajax to auto refresh would be good .

[Reece^B]

hey,
I've installed this hack but im getting:
Reece, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Can anyone help?
