PHP Code:

define('CHDIR_PATH''/home/thewar/public_html'); 

And not:

Just edit any templates that it says have been updated that you have customised and thats it.

Could someone share how I could go about adding vbindex (and vbindex extra pages) to my who's online? Since it's index.php in my root directory it's appearing as the message forum and I'm not sure how exactly to distinguish it in functions_online.php. Thanks.

You'd need to make alot of changes to functions_online.php so that it can tell the difference between /index.php and /forums/index.php as its all based on the filename only.

ight cool thanx for info nt....when do u plan on releasing a gold release of this...so we dont have nemore updates...

also if i were to install this on a already running forum with its own style, is the script going to inherit the style that the forum already has, or is it going to overwrite the style i already have in place?

and is it easy to upgrade the script if this version is installed, not the beta 1...and if upgraded, does it overwrite anything already set or will it load the colors and settings from headers and so on to the new version...

Its possible there will be a vBindex 3.0.0 RC5, but that depends on how much more I add. After that vBindex 3.0.0 will be final and work will begin on 3.1.0 or 3.0.1 depending on any bugs found/features added.

It imports the vBindex templates to each parent (top level) style and will use your existing CSS styles.

If your running vBindex 3.0.0 RC3 or later the upgrade will work flawlessly, no templates will be overwritten if they have been altered by you. If your running a version bettween Beta 1 and RC2 then you'll manually have to work out the template changes or delete them and start fresh. No settings or anything are ever lost/overwritten with any upgrade.

2 problems after installing on big board...

the vbindex.php is not showing the shoutbox. the shoutbox DID show on my testboard when i installed it, so i dont understand why it is not now.

i enabled the news area, and put a forum id on there...all is good, it brings the post in the page good, but the icons are not loading that are in the post, like smilies...but they are showing on each thread @ the top left of it...just not in post, and the folders have been properly specified.

Make sure its enabled and assigned to a side block on the side that enabled (if you only have one column).

The smilies need to have a full URL, or a URL like /forums/images/smilies/smilie.gif, if updated with a query you need to save one after running the query. Your icons should be in the format images/icons if not you needto edit the vbindex_newsbit template.

ok, so shoutbox doesn't load for guest....the cookie path was set wrong, so login from main page works now, and after login, i see the shoutbox. cool.

the other problem withthe images not showing is confusing me...what do i have to look for and edit in vbindex_newsbit template?
