It isn´t work - it still stands still at : Importing vBindex Phrases, and all other steps. Firewall is deactived and chmod at 755 ! What is wrong there ?

This is typical Hack Stuff vor VB - only one language and a unprofessional and uncompletely Installinstruction. Thanx for another lost hour of my life. :tired:

[Dio Br@ndo]

i intall it butwith vb3.0.0 gold doesnt work (i dont show nothing collums :\ :/ )

why?

the installation was perfect..

[NTLDR]

You haven't configured the options as per the install instructions.

[Dio Br@ndo]

the only thing i need to do was to put in vbiconfig.php the root that the installation show me to write, and i do it. i save....after i press always NEXT and i write FULL Path for images, i save and on next step the process go in loop (set images path -> next -> set images path -> next -> ....) so i press the botton for overpass that step (the instruction says to do that if process go in loop)......i add in index.php of admin cp the line for add in admin cp the page for setting the forum....

that's all.....i miss something??

[NTLDR]

As the final setp states:

Please configure the vBindex Options via the vBulletin Admin Control Panel

[Dio Br@ndo]

hehehehe i set up that. i chose Both side columns and i set 2 left:
? Latest 10 thread
?Calendar
right columns:
? Birthday
? Pool

below i activate all...i save....and.....NOTHIG!! i try 4 times....

i also try to re installa and nothing.....

i dont know what i must to do!!

[GoTTi]

NTLDR - how can i make only registered users who verify there email address allowed to post in the shoutbox?

[NTLDR]

Find:

PHP Code:

if (!$bbuserinfo['userid']) 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'] || is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 3)) 


This will be fixed in the next version.

Make sure you edit the file *EXACTLY* how the instructions say and that you have no whitespace before <?php or after ?> in either vbiconfig.php, vbindex.php, includes/functions.php, includes/functions_user.php, includes/config.php, includes/init.php.

Make sure your board URL is set correctly in the admin cp and if you have edited the vbindex_navbar template that you have prefixed any additions with $vboptions[bburl]
