Have a look at the attached Pic.

As you can see the news that reads "Monster 2003 Weekend"
has "Read Full Post - Comments (0) - by LeMarsu - 06-11-2002 08:39 AM" completely out of line. It in not on the bottom right, plus there is some text from the post attched to it.

NTLDR · #**1055** 11-07-2002, 10:30 AM

Its becuase you have the character limit on and the limit happens to be in the middle of a <a href=".... thus there is no "> on the end of it, altering that should solve the problem

jazza · #**1056** 11-07-2002, 11:59 AM

ok, i got it all installed and there are no errors or anything, i just still appear on my forum home, i was looking at step 6 and thaught that would prolly sort it out, but im not sure on what to do. can someone pelase help

NTLDR · #**1057** 11-07-2002, 01:39 PM

.htaccess will only work if your using Apache, your host allows it and you have placed the file in the same directoty as vbindex.php

jazza · #**1058** 11-07-2002, 07:39 PM

apache version 1.3.26, ok, so, how do i do this ?

NTLDR · #**1059** 11-07-2002, 07:44 PM

The instructions tell you exactly what to do

jazza · #**1060** 11-07-2002, 08:28 PM

meh . but whats a .htaccess file , sorry , im new to almost everything, baring php,... altho i still suk at that

NTLDR · #**1061** 11-07-2002, 08:31 PM

Create a file called .htacess just like the instructions say with the content they say.

jazza · #**1062** 11-07-2002, 08:41 PM

lol, im so dumb, anyway, i couldnt find all the files, altho its roly just me bein thik, so im givin up, cheers for the help anyway

NTLDR · #**1063** 11-07-2002, 10:07 PM

Every file thats required is in the Zip along with step by step instructions. All anyone has to do is read them to be able to install this hack.

kreftt · #**1064** 11-07-2002, 10:07 PM

the installer did something really weird:

i had it update my 2.01 installation.
it added the new database field fine, but when it came to the templates, it did the following:

it added my modified templates again. every template doubled, with even the same templatesetid.

i had to do a
delete from template where title like 'home_%'
and reinstall the default templates with your installer...

just fyi

kreftt

edit: and btw, its the best portal solution ive seen so far, and as firefly doesnt answer emails on how to pay for his vportal, it will most likely stay the best

edit2: is there any chance you could attach the 2.01 templates again to have araxis merge tell me the changes? i have heavily modified my templates (and translated) and wouldnt really like to do everything again.

NTLDR · #**1065** 11-07-2002, 10:14 PM

Strange, it should delete all your templates first.

Thanks for the comments, its nice to know that the work thats gone in has been apriciated.

I've attached a copy of the only set of v2.0.1 templates that I have in a zip

(Note, they all start vbidemo_ but they are the same as the home_ ones were

)

kreftt · #**1066** 11-07-2002, 10:18 PM

it cant delete the old ones:

your file says:

PHP Code:


			
if ($step==install or $step==upgrade201) {



[unneccessary for the explanation]



$step=templates;



}

while its should say

PHP Code:


			
if ($step==install) {



[unneccessary for the explanation]



$step=templates;



}

AND

PHP Code:


			
if ($step==upgrade201) {



[unneccessary for the explanation]



$step=cleantemplates;



}

at least as i understand it...

thanks for the templates
