Installing

[Mrdudecool]

Hi
Do you put all the files into the directory or put like the certain files into a certain folder?
Thanks

There are full installation instructions in the readme.html file that comes with the download package.

I read that but I wasnt sure which is why i asked

[Brian]

The files/folders in the 'forum' folder need to be uploaded to the same folder that you uploaded your vBulletin files/folders to.
The cmps_index.php file needs to be uploaded to wherever you want the CMPS to be displayed, which is typically your root directory.

Ok well I have done that and on the index there is the files, one being the forum and other being the cmps_index but I get this error:


Warning: require_once(./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jac1992/public_html/cmps_index.php on line 43

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php' (include_path='.:/software/php/lib/php') in /home/jac1992/public_html/cmps_index.php on line 43

Any help?

[Brian]

Sounds like you either did not upload the forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php file, or the path you entered for the $forumpath variable is incorrect. If it's the latter, please see this thread:

Thanks but now I have this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_IDENTICAL in /home/jac1992/public_html/cmps_index.php on line 25

[Mrdudecool]

Can anyone please help?
Im trying to get it up so I can release my site

[Brian]

What did you enter for the $forumpath in your cmps_index.php file?

[Mrdudecool]

I entered /home/jac1992/public_html/vbulletin
Got that from the forumpath.php file

[Brian]

Can you just post the contents of the entire file? There's an error in there somewhere, most likely from where the forum path was changed.

[Mrdudecool]

I think this is the one:

cmps_index:

[Brian]

Looks like you removed and rearranged a bit of the code... So, change this line:
$forumpath = '';/home/jac1992/public_html/vbulletin/ No Further Editing Necessary!


To this:
$forumpath = '/home/jac1992/public_html/vbulletin';

[Mrdudecool]

Now I get this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_IDENTICAL in /home/jac1992/public_html/index.php on line 23

[Brian]

You did not replace that line correctly then. The entire first line I posted needs to be completely replaced with the 2nd line.

[Mrdudecool]

See the top part looks like this:

if ($forumpath)
{
if (!is_dir($forumpath))
{

}

That is with the change but it has that error on line 22

[Brian]

You removed the two slashes (//) that were at the beginning of the line just below the one with the $forumpath variable. The file needs to stay in tact, exactly as it was originally formatted, with the exception of changing that one line to add your forum path.

[Mrdudecool]

Still getting error

Use this for the file, and do not make any more changes.

[Mrdudecool]

Thank you so much.
It is now in full working order.
