vBindex · **Released**: 04-04-2002

Latest Version: 1.3

This hack is not very special for me. I just wanted to create a mainpage on which you can see.. (as a member) everything what u like to see. The idea of the script is similar to the vbHome of nakkid and also a little bit to the vBPortal. I tested all of them.. but i was looking for something better

. so i decided to write such a script myself...

Features:

Active threads & newest posts
News & Polls (read from a newsforum and a pollforum)
Quick CP Links on the index-site
Buddies on the index-site
Very easy to customize. Just edit the templates!
Available in english and german!

Summary: On this index-site you can see everything what you as a member would like to see

.

Demo-Sites:

http://partylife.ch [German Version]
http://www.kampfkunst-info.de.vu [German Version]
http://www.ukwinternet.co.uk/forum/home.php [English Version]

Screenshot 1: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex1.jpg // the original version and arrangement of the tables.
Screenshot 2: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex2.jpg // the nav on the right side.
Screenshot 3: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex3.jpg // or if u like 2 navs, left & right
Screenshot 4: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex4.jpg // another screen
Screenshot 5: http://partylife.ch/misc/vbindex5.jpg // buddies etc.

In the template home_newsbit:

Change

To:

No problem dm, glad I could help you and this great hack out, I hope to see how you have implimented this hack soon!

freakyshiat · #**126** 04-09-2002, 05:29 AM

I installed this hack with {getmicrostats} in the footer template and it is reporting 83 queries...can this be true?

el3m3nt · #**127** 04-09-2002, 06:44 AM

dm, probably you mixed the two solutions (my one and NTLDR one). but when it works now then its okey

.

Fazle, i have only 54 on partylife.ch. it depends on how many threads you wanna display and how many newsarticles. if i show 30 threads i have 104 queries. so 83 can be true..

-=dm=- · #**128** 04-09-2002, 10:36 AM

me back again :lick:

yeah your right, I have installed this hack 3 times

the poll system dont work for me

I have a stupid question

how do I hide poll forum from normal members and still let them vote on the mainpage(vbindex) cuz when I change the settinges in "Registered user group" the forum settings jumps to "private forum" see the screenshot.

el3m3nt · #**129** 04-09-2002, 01:05 PM

you have to give the registered user the right to vote for the pollforum... not for the usergroup "Registered".

so go to "Forums & Moderators > Permissions > Choose your Pollforum > Registered > Edit"
There you set "Can view forum" to no and "Can vote on polls" to yes. you can also allow them to post replies (comments) or all other settings.

got it?

el3m3nt · #**130** 04-09-2002, 01:13 PM

html-code in the news:
look for...

PHP Code:


			
  $newstext=bbcodeparse($getnews[pagetext]);

replace with..

PHP Code:


			
$newstext=bbcodeparse($getnews[pagetext],$newsforum,1);

$newstext=str_replace("<br />","",$newstext);

Thanks to nakkid, Gimp and FireFly for drawing attention to me on this.

2 new actions (getdaily and getsticky!) and threads-table-title depends on the action!

look for...

PHP Code:


			
if ($action=="" or $action=="getactive") {

    // active threads

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid FROM thread WHERE forumid!=$newsforum AND forumid!=$pollsforum ".$threadsql." AND visible=1 order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

}



if  ($action == "getnew") {

    // new posts

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("select threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid from thread WHERE visible=1 AND lastpost>=".$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]." AND open<>10 ".$threadsql." order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

}

replace with...

PHP Code:


			
if ($action=="" or $action=="getactive") {

    // active threads

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid FROM thread WHERE forumid!=$newsforum AND forumid!=$pollsforum ".$threadsql." AND visible=1 order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

    $threadstitle="Latest Threads";

}



if  ($action == "getnew") {

    // new posts

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("select threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid from thread WHERE visible=1 AND lastpost>=".$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]." AND open<>10 ".$threadsql." order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

    $threadstitle="Newest Posts";

}



if  ($action == "getdaily") {

    // posts today

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("select threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid from thread WHERE visible=1 AND thread.lastpost>=".(time() - (24 * 60 *60 * $days)).$threadsql." order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

    $threadstitle="Posts Today";

}



if  ($action == "getsticky") {

    // sticky threads

    $threadsquery = $DB_site->query("select threadid,forumid,title,postusername,lastposter,replycount,iconid from thread WHERE visible=1 AND sticky=1 ".$threadsql." order by lastpost desc limit $numthreads");

    $threadstitle="Sticky Threads";

}

now modify the template "home_threads":
- 2 new options (select)
- replace "Latest Threads" (title) with $threadstitle

that's it. all these improvements will be included in version 1.4.
pls write me all suggestions and ideas how we all can improve this script

el3m3nt · #**132** 04-09-2002, 05:14 PM

If you just want to hide the forum so it doesn't appear on the front page install this hack by Firefly https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=28262 then set the permissions to that users can reply to threads/posts or create new posts.

NTLDR
damn this is one of the best forums

I just love the whole design it looks great nice works buddy. its in my "good looking vB?s" bookmarks catagory now

when I saw this hack by el3m3nt, the first thing I did was REMOVE the whole postnuke site from my server, I better like vBindex, its just what I need.

btw I have just installed the hack by FireFly, but still no luck

members are only able to vote if they can see the forum this is strange, I know Im probably over looking something....god I should take a break...
