Just installed vbAdvanced, having a few problems

[Danny_Willis]

Here's the details:

vBulletin
- v3.0.6 w/ 'misc.php' patch

Hacks
- vBadvanced CMPS v1.0.1 w/ Left SideBar Hack

I went through the normal installation process and I then renamed the cmps_index.php to index.php and put it in the root of my site. Now when I head to the website I get a blank page.

What did I do wrong?

Can you post the chdir line from your cmps_index.php page here?

[Danny_Willis]

Actually I did end up getting the page to display but now it doesn't display all the time. Here's my cmps_index.php page:

$phrasegroups = array();
$globaltemplates = array();
$actiontemplates = array();
$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');

print_portal_output($home);

?>


Now I also have a bunch of links that do not work as well. What I did is I put the cmps_index.php in my root directory, but the forums are located in a sub directory called vb. When I visit the main page some of the links work and some of them do not. The links that don't work do not point to the forum directory, the point to the root which doesn't have the pages. Here are the links that do not work:

usercp.php?
faq.php?
memberlist.php?
Calendar.php?
newposts.php?

But if I move the cmps_index.php into the forums folder they work, but I am unable to view the forums (due to the overwriting of the forums' index.php).

Also, where do I find information on how to edit the navigation menus, the FAQ pages, etc. With no link to the forums on the portal it kinda makes it difficult to view the information.

Thanks.

Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Default Settings

See if you have a group there called 'vBadvanced Global Settings' with some replacement options. If so, make sure those files are listed in your 'Navbar Replacements' option. If you don't have those options, download the package from here again, upload the install file, and go to the URL http://yoursite.com/forum/admincp/vb...hp?do=settings

[Danny_Willis]

Ok,

Those files are there, but they are located in the /vb/ folder, not in the root. If I am to have both the portal and the forums use the same set of pages, how do I redirect the portal to point to the files located in the vb folder? I tried changing the path in the Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Default Settings after looking at it and that didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Danny,

What value do you have in ACP --> vBulletin Options --> Site Name / URL / Contact Details --> Forum URL? It should be (from what you're listing above) http://yoursite.com/vb.

That's exactly what it is. http://mysite.net/vb

Danny,

Do you have a URL to check out? Also, are these links in your navbar or in your header?

[Danny_Willis]

I can provide you a link but it has to be via pm or other means due to the private content of the site (it's not a public site).

The links are all on the navbar, at least that what I understand.
