mYvBindex 3.2.2 released! (5/22/03)
mYvBindex 3.2 will allow you to include different options from your vBulletin message board on your website's index page. Everything is completely template based so it is very easy to customize and change everything through your Admin CP. Features:
Guest Homepage Admin Homepage User Homepage Admin CP Queries: A nice feature of mYvBindex is that it performs only 11 queries with all the options turned off, no matter how many news articles or latest threads you choose to display. Some options will cause the script to perform extra queries, but even with all the options turned on it still performs only 29 queries at max. Here is a list of each extra function that will cause extra queries:
Adding More Custom Templates To add more custom templates to your mYvBindex, please see this post. Stylin' Buddy List - by MartynJ This will add your the users avatar and usertitle to the buddy list (Similar to and inspired by velocd's Stylin' Buddy List hack), and adds no extra queries to your homepage. Download (Screen shot included in zip) Shoutbox Integration - by MartynJ This hack integrates the ever popular Shoutbox hack with your mYvBindex. Download (Screen shot included in zip) TWCommish's vB Shoutbox Integration - by Brahm This is a slightly different shout box made by TWCommish. His hack is required and can be found here. After downloading his hack, use Brahm's instructions here to integrate it with mYvBindex. Attachments in News Posts - by Tigga This hack allows attachments posted in news posts to be viewed in the news section on your homepage. Download Allow users to set homepage options - by Tigga This mini-hack will allow your users to set which options they would like displayed on the homepage. They will be able to turn on/off avatars, weather, custom templates, and etc on a per user basis. Download *Note* It may be necessary to open this file in a text editor (other than notepad) to get it to display properly. Multiple News forums from different links - by Tigga This hack allows allows you to have a link to a "different index file" which will pull news posts from a different forum. Instructions can be found here Credits: mYvBindex uses modified versions of the following hacks: Mini Calendar from vbPortal - by wajones vB Weather Mk. 2- by JJR512 Copyright: This hack is NOT to be re-distributed or placed on website for download without permission. All copyright notes in the script itself must remain unchanged. Please don't forget to hit the Install Button Updates from version 3.2.1 After the release of v3.2.1 a couple of small bugs were found. They affected the ability to edit a news post from the link on the homepage, pulling the wrong post from a thread for the news section, and updating your most users ever online if a new record is set. The changes from v3.2 to 3.2.1 were minimal, so those should be the only bugs found. Upgrading once again is very easy. Just download the new files, change the path in the myvbindex.php file, and upload it over your existing one. Updates from version 3.2 v3.2.1 is again just a small maintenance release. The main change in this version is the way the forum permissions are done. Before, the forum permissions would cause the latest threads query to take much longer than it should (mostly on larger forums). Now with the new permissions system in place, the query to pull the latest threads should take less than 0.01 seconds. Other than the permissions section, the only other changes were a few optimizations to the code syntax. Upgrading from v3.2 is simple - Just upload the new myvbindex.php file over your existing one and you're done. Updates from version 3.1 v3.2 is mostly another maintenance release, and will hopefully be the last release for vBulletin 2.X (unless any bugs are found). Here are a list of all the changes. Fixed a bug where setting the "Show Latest Threads Icon?" option to "No" could disable the latest threads section. Fixed a bug where signatures with vBcode were not displayed properly in the news section. Fixed a bug where the icons in the news and latest thread parts weren't displaying the right icon for some users. Added an option to completely disable signatures in news posts. Added an option to select a random poll from any forum for the poll part of the hack. Further optimized parts of the code and slightly changed part of the structure. Now shows "No Buddies Online" in the buddy list if no buddies are online. Changed so it will no longer show a default icon for the news and latest threads unless your options are also set to show a default icon on the forumdisplay page. Now shows the last poster and last post time when you hold your mouse over the title of a thread in the Latest Threads part. The install script has been re-written so you can install, upgrade, uninstall, update your news posts (useful for first time installations where a news forum already exists), or install just the templates (useful after upgrading vBulletin to a new version) all from one file. Significantly reduced the size of the weather_install.php file (from 3.0 MB to 1.25 MB) so it will not take so long to upload to your server. Fixed a couple of small spacing issues in the poll templates. Fixed a problem with JJR512's weather hack not pulling the weather forcast. Added a FAQ section to the readme file to help common problems. Upgrading should take no longer than 2 minutes and instructions can be found at the bottom of the readme file. Updates from version 3.0 v3.1 is mostly a maintenance release to help cut down on first time installation problems. Other than that, the biggest difference you will notice is the template "style" has changed to mesh better with vBulletin (see screenshots above). You do not have to install the new templates as you will have the option to install the new templates or to skip that step in the install file. Other than the templates, here is a list of the other changes: A few more "error checking" features have been added to ensure you won't get a nasty sql error if you leave your News or Poll Forum ID, or any of the other fields blank. The problem some users were experiencing with the temperature for the weather part of the hack should be fixed for good. The "Show Poll" option in the Admin CP is removed as this can now be disabled simply by leaving the "Poll Fourm ID" filed blank. Fixed a small typo and optimized parts of the code a little further. Slightly changed the position of the days and numbers in the calendar part. Fixes a bug where the Today's Birthday part wouldn't point to the correct url. Upgrading should take no longer than 2 minutes and instructions can be found at the bottom of the readme file. Updates from version 2.0 Removed the option from the Admin CP to allow smilies in News posts as this can now be set per post just as you would when making a regular post. Added a stats section with info such as total members, threads, posts, newest member, top poster, and today's birthdays. Added a "Today's Events" section under the calendar that will display any events that are scheduled for the current day, and will only be visible if there are events listed for the current day. Added an option to show the poster's avatar with the news post. You can now have your signature displayed with the news post. This is controlled when posting the message just as you would with a regular post. Added an option to display the news post's rating with the news. Added options to show small icons to allow users to show a printable version of the news post and an option to allow users to email their friends a link to the news post. Added an option to allow/disable HTML in news posts. Added an option to allow/disable the [img] tag in news posts. Shows the number of times a news post has been viewed. Shows the number of new posts since the users last visit. Shows the number of replies to the poll if poll discussions are allowed. Fixed a bug where the search box would take you to the search page rather than displaying the results. Fixed a bug where setting the News Posts Maximum to 0 would disable the news rather than giving it no limit. Optimized the code a little more to increase performance.

certify - The weather box has 247 countries and over 37,000 cities to choose from.
Yuber - If there are any future versions of this script it will probably be a couple of months before they are released, and will definitely be after vB 3.0 comes out. Lately I've been concentrating on a much bigger portal system that has been consuming the majority of my free time. There are already a couple of mini-hacks listed in the first post in this thread, plus there are a few others that I've posted throughout this thread that I will add to the first post as well once I get the time. If you have any suggestions for future versions or mini-hacks though please let me know.

Will the current version of myvbindex work with vB 3.0? Or once vB 3.0 isreleased say I got picked for private beta, would i have to delete myvbindex until you make a higher version for 3.0?

It's hard to say since I have no idea which variables and database tables will change, but it's very doubtful that everything would still work the same way. I've applied to beta test 3.0 as well, but since they're only picking 20 sites out of 600 that applied, I'll probably have to wait until the first public beta is released. Either way, as soon as I get my hands on 3.0 I will be rewriting the script since I will have to update it for my site as well, so I would expect to have it posted here within a couple of days after 3.0 is released.

That is mostly just a matter of editing some html. If you edit your index template and move the whole table that has the $threadbits variable to right underneath the $newsbits variable that should do the trick. And you'll probably want to edit your index_threadbit template as well to change the way each thread is displayed.

I'm assuming you just want this to be displayed for a user that has registered, and it doesn't matter if they have activated their account or whatnot, just simply that they have registered... If so, just open your myvbindex.php and look for this line:

on the myvbindex page in the news section their is those icons that print and mail to a friend. Well i want to change the icons to different ones but not have it affect the same icons on the forums. How can i do this?
Also my second question is I have a header.php file i want to load up on the myvbindex page that is different from the one on my forums. I know their is a post about this around post number 72 or such but i didnt understand what to do. I am trying to do a call function in the index_header template of the myvbindex group. I want this function to call that header.php file i have. Im not sure if this is possible or what. Basically in the header.php file is 1 table with an image in it. Can someone help me so that above the myvbindex page will be this image. Also eventually in this table i want to put code so that the image is a background and over to the right of it a banner also is their for sponsors.
