Newbie Error - Modules Showing Up but Forums Are Gone.

[altirisadmin]

Site: http://www.altirisadmin.com
vBulletin Version - 3.0.7

Ok, so I'm sure that I'm just a total tard...but it's 1:00 AM and I'm a little confused. I went through the install and everything seemed to be fine. I uploaded the cmps_index.php to the root of my site, renamed the existing index.html to .old and renamed the uploaded cmps_index.php to index.php.

Now when I go to my site I have the shell of the portal with all of the modules, but none of my forums are showing up!!!

My setup is not root/forums, it's root/vbulletin. I did make sure to put ./vbulletin for my chdir on line 21 of the cmps_index.php. I'm not getting any errors, so I'm not sure what I did wrong. I tried to search for a resolution, but wasn't really sure how to search for (my forums are gone!).

Thanks Guys

Ok, I think this was more of just a misunderstanding of how the product works. I was thinking that the modules "wrapped" around my forums, so my default page would have all of my forums in the middle with all of the new modules surrounding them. Is this possible?

[Jason McConnell]

That is possible, but the main function for the portal is to present threads as news articles or whatever you want people to see immediatley upon visiting your site. This is done in the AdminCP, vBa CMPS, Default Settings section by specifying the forums you want the portal to pull posts from.

you have an error on your page Line 515 Error: Expected ")" just an FYI I'm using IE 6 win xp pro fully up to date

I'm starting to get a better hang of how this works. I appreciate everyone's input.

Lexus, I can't find where that line of code is. I see the line number, but my index.php doesn't have that many lines! If you know where I should look for this error, please let me know. Thanks.

The error would be in the HTML code from your templates, not the PHP file.

Thanks Brian.

Anybody know which template(s) might be checking for IE Version?
