MODULES not showing on HOME PAGE

[blkatt]

Here goes,

I installed the VB CMPS successfully (I think) - at least it shows in the Admin control panel - no problem.

Here is my problem: none of the modules are showing on my homepage. I went in the VB CMPS control panel and assigned the proper forum IDs and still nothing happens. My home page acts as if nothing has changed.

Note: my homepage was created with Dreamweaver (if that matters).

Please help.

admincp / import & maint / rebuild forum information see if that helps.

And might we get a link?

[blkatt]

Thanks for the reply.

Still not seeing any changes to my home page.

Anybody else?

[mholtum]

lets get a link to your site so we can see what it looks like.

Are their posts in the threads you are pulling?

[mholtum]

Actually I was with the 3rd Ranger Batt. Yes it was Airborne, but a little better. ;)

Did you run the install I assume?
is there a index.html & index.php in your root dir?

[blkatt]

:)

Yes, I ran the install and CMPS is in fact showing in the control panel. No problem there.

Also, I have index.htm - and index.php (originally cmps_index.php). All in the root directory.

In my forum directory I also have an index.php that is different from the one in my root folder (of a different size).

Could that be the problem?

Thanks.

[blkatt]

Am I the only one having this particular problem?

I searched the knowledge base and it seems I am the only one?? It seems that most everyone see "something" related to CMPS on the home page. Maybe I'm getting paranoid now. :)

Puzzled. :confused:

[mholtum]

Try naming your index.htm something else like index_old.htm for now and see what happens.. :)

what you got for your chdir line? Line 21 of index.php

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '/' in c:\websites\blackgreekforum381\blackgreekforum.com\index.php on line 21

should be chdir('./forum');

[blkatt]

Tried that but when I change the name, my home page won't show at all - has an error message.

I think I'll just forget about it - doesn't look like it is going to work for me. Looks like a nice feature pack when it works. Dang!

Thanks bud, I really appreciate your help.

[mholtum]

do this
there is a way to make it work with the index.php file (portal) installed in the same dir as the forums.. Submit a trouble ticket to Brain, he can get it to work

[blkatt]

Yes indeed, I am familiar with Brian - he is very good. Actually I just sent him an email. Is there a specific procedure for trouble tickets?

Thanks

[blkatt]

Found the trouble ticket thingy.

Thanks for your help and patience.

[mholtum]

Glad to help!

I am having trouble getting it to work as well I got it up on Admin. c/panel but it did nothing to templates board.

This next part I do not quite get it as well.
I place it in root directory but a no go . I change from cmps_index.php to index.php and edited to what I thought was the correct path but a no show.

I have to styles/skins and I hope that has nothing to do with it :confused:

In your cmps_index.php file:

Now open your cmps_index.php file in this folder and find:
chdir('./forum');

Replace this with the full path to your forum on your server.
Not sure what this means?



My ticket was answered but I need to know what is the correct path I only know when it is simply clear enough , is it ./domian.com/forums/index.php [aka.cmp_index.php] and I place the renamed cmp_index in forum or outside of forums or with the renamed index_old.php

Forums--v
index.php [aka.cmp_index.php]
index_old.php [aka.index.php]

or

Forums
index.php [aka.cmp_index.php]
index_old.php [aka.index.php]

this is what I edited inside index.php[aka.cmp_index.php]
/home/rtheunde/public_html/forums/ do I need index.php

I am also unable to view any modules on my CMPS Page. This is unusual as I had no problems installing it elsewhere. It just appears blank in the middle. Any ideas?

[JayJ]

I've attached a screenshot to show you what is displaying on my screen.

Lead - Just set that line to chdir('./forum');
Also, remove any traling spaces you have after the ?> at the end of the file.

JayJ - You've made the changes to your global.php file incorrectly.

[JayJ]

Thankyou Brian. Problem resolved. I feel slightly embarrased with that error.

I have read these links u have on board but still do not understand how it is done and the severs path did not work for me

[Brian]

So changing it to chdir('./forum'); isn't working? It did fine the other day when I did from your support ticket.

Yes but did you see this on top of forum
Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/rtheunde/public_html/forums/index.php on line 21
It was promperly displayed above vbulletin logo

[Brian]

There's no reason to touch your /forum/index.php file, just the cmps_index.php (or whatever you have renamed it to).

yes I know but that how I but it had that error message on top of page so u said u say it working then u must of see that error message u can not of miss that. and as for doing that server path thing well their is no exact wording so i pick the of link that came close to server path and place it in cmp_index.php and I do not know what comment out means
:confused:

[Brian]

I'm sorry, but I've tried to tell you what to do several times now and I really don't know how I can explain it any more clearly.

Read and followed and still get errors

What am I missing here?
All the edits are done so why I am getting these errors and I also edit the path in my cmp_index.php to read " chdir('./home/rtheunde/public_html/forums'); "
is this wrong I already left it this way before " chdir('./forum'); " not working that way as well so what wrong.

[Brian]

If you want to just submit a support ticket I'll set the path for you.

Thanks I just found out why it was not working, I followed vbulletins.com installation and renamed my uploads to "forums" and it says in your instructions " chdir('./forum'); " so I just added the letter 's' to the end of "chdir('./forums');" and it worked . So much questions and just one typo and enerything goes nuts :rolleyes: . Darn little 's' :p


Thank u for helping me Brian I know it was trying when I was asking all these questions

But did do that image path thing did not work so well and seems my navbar clicks to no place but I check in more into that. I will summit another ticket.
