root folder - cmps_index.php (you will probably rename this file to index.php once everything is set up)


what does it mean with probably Do i HAVE to change it later?? is this an option?? or do i have to do it in order for the thing to work??

i hate when instructions are vague. the write up for vbadvanced is terrible. its quite close to sh1t if i may say.

next time have someone write it who knows how to express himself. ive been farting around with this damned thing for 2 days now and it wont work. This sucks.

Step 3 - Upload Files

root/forums/admincp - index.php (if modified), vbacmps_install.php, vba_cmps_admin.php

i didnt modify it! was i supposed to modify it??? BUT IT NEVER MENTIONED MODIFYING IT ANYWHERE ON THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!

[Telegon80]

sAME THING HERE:

root/forums/includes - adminfunctions_template.php (if modified),

ONCE AGAIN, THE INSTRUCTIONS SAID NOTHING ABOUT MODIFYING THIS FILE.

Note: Be sure to upload the /forums/images and /forum/cpstyles folders and their contents in Binary mode and the other files in ASCII mode.

While I have my own problems with this software (someone please reply to my PM or thread) There instructions are really not that bad if you have a basic understanding of Linux. I could see the problem if you are very new and have had no exposure.

Let me try to help...

First off you should have your VB installed one directory down from where you want to install the CMS software. This means that if your web root folder is HTDOCS then you want to create a folder called FORUMS and install VB there. By renaming the index file you are essentialy giving your message board an entry page instead of users going straight to your message board.


You note the uploading of image files in ascii mode. This is always the case. ALL images have to be done this way. On the posative depending on the program you use it might auto sense the file type and auto switch modes when it comes across file types.

The index file does have specific instructions on modifying it. Look for the section about CHDIR. I do suggest renaming the file as well as most webservers are configured for index.xxx to be the intial/entry web page.

The CMS software I beleive is turned off by default so you will need to go in to your ACP and turn it on.

As for adminfunctions_template.php there are instructions here as well to add a specfic line. Look for the section mentioning adding 'adv_portal' => 'vBadvanced CMPS',

Hope this answered some of your questions or helped with any problems. If not feel free to reply and I will try to help the best I can.

Hmmm... I might have been mistaken as I do not see it either. Sorry... But you will however have to properly modify the 2 files you had mentioned.
