Takamine334,

For the $footer2 problem check over on vBadvanced.com -- You'll need to add the variable to your list of globals (there are a few threads on how people needed to do the same with $navbar2 for example).

If you remove the copyright notices then that'll violate both Jelsoft's and vBadvanced's license agreements.

[Takamine334]

ok, thank you KW....I'll start researching it.

[n1ckn4me]

hey guys! first of all, if I read what is possible with this hack than it sure can come in handy with my page nice work!...

I had some problems installing it but I finally was able to fix the errors I had, but now I installed everything correcly and made a default page ($home), the cmps_index.php doesn't seem to work with me...

If I browse it I get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /var/www/html/cmps_index.php on line 27

(I left the print_portal_output on default ($home) )

What did I miss ??




Thanks in advanced!

Also, If anyone has had a bad experience with this hack, I'm also interested in your feedback.

Thanks all,

So far I've had a very good experience with vBa CMPS. Just make sure you read the ReadMe thoroughly and understand everything you're going to do before you do it. Most of the mistakes I see made could have been easily avoided

thanks for this one

[KW802]

Ismba, looks you you didn't specify which forum(s) to pull the news from.

Choose ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Default Settings --> New Forum ID and type in the forum ID numbers that should be shown.

Also, even if you have that value specified those modules still won't show up if those forums are empty.

Dumb question -- are all the features in vBadvanced Homepage available in CMPS?

And then some

[Xil Ze]

so, how does this decide on which thumbnail to show when choosing between multiple image attachments?

is there any way to rewrite it so it shows a random attachment at refresh?

[jethbrown]

Very smooth install and it worked well with my customized template. Thanks!
