D'oh...I recently purchased a Ravio skin, and converted the vbindex to fit the design. However, I think I messed up the poll display. It's weird b/c you can see the results just fine, but for someone who has not voted on the poll, it shows up like this:

rebel, is that vbindex you've got as the index to clangrounds.com?

Error

SQL-query :

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (216, 82, 'Enable vBindex', 'vbiactive', '1', 'Turns vBindex on or off globally.', 'yesno', 1)

MySQL said:


Duplicate entry '216' for key 1

Back

And what does that mean in English?

In the SQL file (vbisettings.sql) each line after the first has a number on, 216,217 etc, change them all to NULL and the re-run the file.

When adding new styles they will use the default home templates that were added when running the installer. You therefore have the home_poll template that is incorrect, the updated one is in the updated_templates folder of the zip.

you were mentioning in another post that there wouldn't be too many template edits... hoping this is still true.

There will be a few optional major template edits, which are needed to compleatly remove a feature from the site from the CP. There are no mandatory edits other than the fixed home_poll template. Other than that there will be a few new templates for the shoutbox and 1 or 2 tiny edits for other features.

I get the same problem with 82 now... Null that aswell? And do I remove the commas?

[TECK]

gamer, i see that you advertise this:

I'll install vBulletin for anyone, on any server, for $50 [or move your vBulletin to another server/domain]. I'll install hacks for $10 each. PM me for more information.

why do you ask such a simple question to answer? since you are capable to install complex vBulletin configurations and hacks?

[ontherun]

Im doing a clean install of vB and vbindex..........

Im looking at Step 3

// add here the vBulletin code of the original index.php
// lines 139 - 213(in an unhacked 2.2.6 index.php)

Now Im using vBulletin 2.2.8 so do we have to find the code from 2.2.6 index.php or can we use the same lines from 2.2.8 index.php?

Well the closest line of code in the admin/template.php to this is:
$only['showgroup'] = 'Show Groups';


As you can see there are NO ( \ hash \ ) Marks in the 2.2.8 version of admin/template.php

( I left the hash \ marks \ out ...................


Where do I find tha vbindex CP I have a screen shot of it but can't locate it anywhere in my ACP

If you have allready run the first query in the file then you skip that one and just do the others, to find out if the first one executed correctly:

[sql]SELECT * FROM settinggroup WHERE settinggroupid='82';[/SQL]

You should have a line with the vBindex setting group displayed if it has been run before.
