I notice on The Sisters Three, that you have a higher version.

Yuber · #**1413** 03-22-2003, 09:34 PM

BTW, How do you work HTML to use images around each part like what they do with vb.org?

Thats correct, I've a slightly improved version there that I did a little bit of work on. However I won't be using vBindex there as I've almost finished my new portal for it.

I will however upgrade and introduce some new features in vBindex when vB3 is release for public beta.

flup · #**1415** 03-23-2003, 05:01 PM

NTLDR, i've got a problem.
I've installed the hack like u said in the install.txt file.

I've uploaden vBindex.php to:
/vBindex.php

And my forum is at:
/forum/index.php

In that case i put chdir to './forum'
and : require('./forum/global.php')

But the page won't display, it even doesn't give an error.
What is the problem?

The page URL would be:
http://sat-gsm.dyndns.org/
and the forum url:
http://sat-gsm.dyndns.org/forum/

TIA

NTLDR,

Thanks
I updated online.php

replaced

PHP Code:

    case 'gallery':       $userinfo[where] = "Viewing Picture <a href='gallery.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Gallery</a>";       break;

by

PHP Code:

    case 'gallery':       $userinfo[where] = "Viewing Picture <a href='gallery.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Gallery</a>";       break;     case 'portal':       $userinfo[where] = "Viewing <a href='vbindex.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>The Portal</a>";       break;

and replaced

PHP Code:

  case '/robots.txt':     $userinfo[activity] = 'spider';     break;

by

PHP Code:

  case '/robots.txt':     $userinfo[activity] = 'spider';     break;   case 'vbindex.php':     $userinfo[activity] = 'portal';     break;

all seem to work.

I want to do the same thing, but I am not sure I understand this example. I want my vbindex.php to come up as "MyCrossTalk".

Where do these values plug in?

Thanks.

you will need to edit online.php use the following :

replaced

PHP Code:


			
    case 'gallery':

      $userinfo[where] = "Viewing Picture <a href='gallery.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Gallery</a>";

      break;

by

PHP Code:


			
    case 'gallery':

      $userinfo[where] = "Viewing Picture <a href='gallery.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Gallery</a>";

      break;

    case 'portal':

      $userinfo[where] = "Viewing <a href='vbindex.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>MyCrossTalk</a>";

      break;

and replaced

PHP Code:


			
  case '/robots.txt':

    $userinfo[activity] = 'spider';

    break;

by

PHP Code:


			
  case '/robots.txt':

    $userinfo[activity] = 'spider';

    break;

  case 'vbindex.php':

    $userinfo[activity] = 'mycrosstalk';

    break;

I completed the first replace, but I don't have the second case in my online.php. What do I do?

my site went live 1st of april, and i've gotten lots of great compliments on the off-forum pages, and each time i say it's thanks to your script!

Me too, on both counts.

dbroomjr · #**1422** 04-09-2003, 02:57 AM

I have got a slight problem...Everything is working perfectly..But, when it pulls the news thread, it shows the Title of the thread, the users avatar, read full post, comments, etc.

But, no matter the amount of characters I set for it to show, it simply shows nothing in the body of the post.

Did I zig when I should have zagged somewhere in the setup? I am using vBulletin 3.0

Thanks,

Dave

ForKmaN · #**1423** 04-12-2003, 04:15 AM

Mine all works good, it even shows the news tiltes and avatars, except, it wont show the news content ...

Help please?

ForKmaN · #**1424** 04-12-2003, 04:16 AM

ok, same problem as dbroomjr

Rose · #**1425** 04-12-2003, 05:18 PM

Yep yep. I just upgraded to version 2.3.0 and I get everythign working fine also but the news won't pull.

Maybe it has to do with the file edit in which I found the line in three places in the 2.3.0 file? Wait, that won't make sense without reference. I'll be right back.

Rose · #**1426** 04-12-2003, 07:07 PM

Update - for 2.3.0 users

First, make sure you ran the update counters after installing. If this doesn't fix the problem (of the news not being pulled onto the main page), then try this:

In newthread.php find the line

PHP Code:


			
 // Add postid to thread table if vBindex news forum

  if ($forumid=$newsforum) {

           $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET tpostid='$postid' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");

  }

You need to hardcode the forumid in, at least it worked for me.

If it doesn't work for you - sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, change the above to something like below:

[php]

PHP Code:


			
 // Add postid to thread table if vBindex news forum

  if ($forumid==X) {

           $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET tpostid='$postid' WHERE threadid='$threadid'");

  }

Note - Change "X" to your forumid of the news forum. Also, notice there is now a double equal sign instead of a single sign.
